There’s no need to wonder if Bob’s Burgers will be cancelled anytime soon. FOX has already renewed the sitcom for a 17th season and beyond. At some point, it seems likely that, since FOX no longer owns the series, it will leave the network. When will that happen? Stay tuned.
An animated family comedy series, the Bob’s Burgers TV show stars H. Jon Benjamin, Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman, John Roberts, Kristen Schaal, and Larry Murphy. Bob Belcher (Benjamin) is a family man and a third-generation restaurateur who lives on Ocean Avenue in a small seaside town. He operates the Bob’s Burgers restaurant with his fun-loving and happy-go-lucky wife, Linda (Roberts), and their three kids. Tina (Mintz) is their socially awkward and insecure eldest daughter. Middle child Gene (Mirman) is the family’s whimsical, good-natured, and a bit goofy, son. Mischievous and a bit of a schemer, Louise (Schaal) is the youngest child and daughter. While Bob has big ideas about burgers, his diner’s location is lacking and the rest of the clan falls a little short when it comes to service. In season 16, Bob and Linda are on the verge of a big decision which brings up memories of when the restaurant first opened. Meanwhile, the kids embark on a new musical project. Linda becomes concerned when Gayle turns her love life into a performance art piece. Louise and Gene try to help Tina clear her name after she is fired as a Hall Monitor.
