Ratings Are In 5/11/15: Bob’s Burgers SOARS!
You would think that with no new Family Guy that Bob’s Burgers would’ve suffered in the last-minute time-slot change. That proved not to be the case as according to Deadline.com, Bob’s Burgers SOARED in the ratings:
Fox’s Sunday was a mix of encores and new shows that saw the 8 PM The Simpsons(1.2/4) slip 8% from last week while the 9:30 PM Bob’s Burgers (1.2/3) was up a healthy 20% from last week.
This should get FOX all hot and bothered as we have an hour’s worth of new Bob’s Burgers airing this Sunday Night on FOX at two different times. Think of it as a Bob’s Burgers Oreo, but with Family Guy and The Simpsons as the cream in the middle.
Next weekend marks the season finales of Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, and Family Guy and really it doesn’t sound like anyone is doing anything that crazy to finish out. You would think with a season featuring ”The Simpsons Guy” and ”Simps-o-Rama” someone would do something a bit off kilter, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. In any case, check back for reviews then season reviews.






There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
