I really like the character design in this show. The toothless way everyone is drawn makes them seem like hilarious animated muppets.

There's a few old Aqua Teen's that HJB really steals as well.

I make sure my kids don't miss a show.

(Adventure Time and Regular Show are good, too)

McGuirk! That's where I've heard that voice.

Also in the running for best show: Venture Bros. (H. Jon Benjamin has a recurring bit part).

I like Bob's Burgers but @10 has a point. Maybe Bob's Burgers is the best show on broadcast television.

H Jon Benjamin and Kristen Schaal doing the voices of two of the main characters? I am intrigued...

Joining the horde of agreement. This show rules.

My boyfriend says that I'm the real life Lynn... I don't know if that's good thing or not....

No, that would be Adventure Time.

What everyone else said. Amazing cast, and it lacks the self-awareness that make all the other Fox comedies really tiring to watch (I still love you Simpsons, but just enough to keep trying...).

Plus, my friend Jay did the character design (is a character designer considered a name drop?), which warms my cockles to no end.

Favorite show on t.v. right now. H. Jon Benjamin is the best.

I love this show so much. Which can only mean it will soon be canceled. Kristen Schaal and Eugene Mirman are fucking fantastic.

+1 for fucking love Bob's Burgers. So glad (and surprised) it's gotten as long of a run as it has.

I love this show to bits. H. Jon Benjamin will be my comedy slave when I rule the world.

The only funny animated show left on Fox.

And, it's amusing that the two best animated shows on television (Bob's Burgers and Archer) both star H. Jon Benjamin.
