These ‘Real American’ Sitcoms Are More Socially Relevant Than Roseanne

Bob’s Burgers Is A Deft Look At Small Business Owners

Taking an outlandish approach to American life, Bob’s Burgers has become a staple program on FOX Sundays. The show features a cast of characters running small businesses to support their families. The only wealthy person in all of an oceanside town is Mr. Fishoder, the resident landlord.

At the start of the second season, Slant Magazine said, “the series takes a refreshing interest in the struggles, hardships, joys, and minor triumphs of the self-employed.” Turning the absurd poignant, Bob’s Burgers has etched out a loyal fanbase. Currently airing its eighth season, the show will soon pass Roseanne’s original nine-season run.
