Is "Bob's" in danger of being cancelled? It is better than any of the other non-Simpson FOX shows that are on Sunday evenings. I have gotten to where I would actually miss it.

I wouldn't say "in danger," but its ratings could be better. (They're not quite "Sit Down Shut Up" level, however.) It has been renewed for next season, but, reportedly, Fox is moving it to 7:30 (which is considered "the Friday of the Sunday timeslots" - the place you don't want to be) starting in June, which is usually a sign of where returning shows are in the fall (although I am not so sure about Glee's move to Thursdays for the summer). The 7:30 slot gets pre-empted at least nine times in the fall for Fox's NFL coverage.

Bob's Burgers has been renewed. Of course it has; it's the best cartoon to hit TV in years, far funnier than anything else on Sunday night.

Well, it is certainly funnier than "Family Guy" and its spin-offs.

I have not seen anything as funny on FOX Sundays since "King of the Hill," "Futurama" (thanks, Comedy Central!), and "The Critic" (which might not have even been on Sunday night, I can't remember).

It was when Fox aired it.

Here's some "The Critic" trivia: the last episode was supposed to be the one where Duke marries Alice's sister. However, the original scheduled air date for the clip show episode was less than a week after the Oklahoma City bombing, and since the episode ends with a bomb going off, they moved it to the end of the season (and never repeated it).
