"Bob's Burgers" re-opened on Main Street in its imaginary town just in time to fill a gap and restore the life in Fox Network's Sunday-night "Animation Domination" line-up. For at least three seasons, the animation had remained, but the domination drained away. "Bob's Burgers" brought back the disaffected viewers, immediately scoring excellent ratings and even better reviews. Of course, local restaurateur Bob has a troubled family; who doesn't?
