A new episode airs tonight at 8:30 PM Eastern. Here is the synopsis:
 
So in the midst of Bob's drunken antics, his unlikely friendship with the transsexuals gave him the upper hand in his rivalry with Pesto. Glad to see the lengths he went to in order to cheer up his daughter, and in the end, he still kept his dignity.

I'm loving this show.
 
This is the first Bob's Burgers I truly found funny, so.....I hope this is a sign. Some of the best lines of the series so far were heard tonight.

"Are we all gonna kiss him? If so, I wanna kiss him first. There's no way I'm going after all YOU guys have done it."
 
Another great episode from Bob's Burgers. I thought that it was kind of cool how Bob went to great lengths for his daughter, and him bonding with the transsexuals. Also, I thought it was interesting that most of the kids made me laugh more in this episode than the past ones.
 
I wasn't crazy about Tina before this episode, but that's changed now. Louise is still my favorite though, and Gene is very funny too. I have to say I think the kids make this show.

I was thinking, if Fox dumps this show, I wonder if Adult Swim would seriously consider picking it up and making new episodes. Considering the relationship they have with Loren Bouchard and H. Jon Benjamen, it seems like it wouldn't be that far-off of an idea. Maybe they could save some money by switching the animation to flash, I don't think it would lose that much in terms of likability if they did that. In some ways it may even be more appropriate for the Home Movies-esque style of comedy.
 
This is one of the few animated series on FOX I enjoy watching, for most part. This past Sunday's episode was good because Bob bent backwards for Tina's happiness at her thirteenth birthday party.

I loved how Bob used "Baby Num-Num" against Pesto, just to have Pesto Jr. at Tina's birthday party. However, I will admit that having all the trans-sexuals at Tina's party was both odd and funny.
 
It doesn't have the paper doll look that Flash usually has. There are visible shortcuts in this show, but not as many as Flash-usual. If it IS Flash, there's at least a little more work put into it.
 
Bob's Burgers is traditionally animated by Rough Draft. Since Bouchard's shows have all been done non-traditionally before, it ironically looks odd with the style.
