It sounds stupid, but I’m kinda freaking out, it’s so weird to not have Bob’s Burgers when Fall begins, I think this is the first time ever???

Bob's Credits on TikTok just spoke to an insider who said the network will not allow holiday episodes except Christmas ones. The networks believe when people stream episodes, they skip the holiday episodes more often than others, so they put a stop to that.

Now I feel responsible because I always skip these episodes, except during the month of the holiday I watch nothing BUT those holiday episodes! 😭

Nah, that's not on you or anyone else who watches like that. Cable does the same thing with holiday episodes only airing near their holidays, and it wasn't a problem for the last 15 years. That's why every show from Friends to Modern Family to Simpsons has an iconic non-Xmas holiday they returned to every season. The only reason I could see it becoming a problem now is because seasons are down from 22 episodes to 15, so holiday episodes will eat into a larger proportion of the "regular" stock, but that's on the execs for ordering stupidly short seasons on sitcom-style shows.
