With the 2012 show ending soon, I want to say that I’m impressed by how well Nickelodeon has treated this show.

I mean, think about it.

The creators said that they had 5 seasons worth of stories to tell, and Nick didn’t demand more than that. It’s gonna end after Season 5.

They’ve given it a good time slot, plenty of promotion, and never tried to sabotage it like they’ve done with Korra or Harvey Beaks (maybe because Ninja Turtles brings them a lot of 💸💵💰 but whatever)

They let the crew make the show their way, giving us some of the most memorable moments in Turtle history.

And, given how dark the show has gotten at times, they’ve given them a lot of freedom to do whatever the hell they wanted.

This doesn’t feel like a show made by focus groups or driven by what the execs want: this was a show made by fans, for fans, and I’m surprisingly grateful that Nick never interfered with their vision.

If you think you’ve hit rock bottom, just remember that my bank once froze my accounts because I bought a healthy ready meal at my local supermarket and they classed it an ‘uncharacteristic purchase’

when everyone else is enjoying an audio post that tumblr won’t let you play

“What lies beyond can wait after this nap” The beautiful blue blanket of the sea swaddles our two heroes in comforting blue light as they take a moment for themselves. Perhaps they were exploring an abandoned undersea base? It’s okay, Sam, you take your nap! @therealjacksepticeye Your musical accompaniment for this (Also known as what I listened to on loop as I worked on this.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO3RC-aNmsI

wow this is really cool :D thank you!

Because what is better than a baby muskox playing in a kiddie pool?

not much

@babygoatsandfriends Since muskoxen are actually more closely related to sheep and goats than cows, this seems relevant!

“bob’s burgers isn’t that funny”

It’s not tho…

Everyone recommended it to me as funny, but it makes an Autism joke in the first episode.

Sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done, Arthur.

No no no listen to me listen

The first episode of Bob’s Burgers is bad okay?

They use a few insensitive jokes. Bob acts like the neglectful husband. Linda acts like the nagging wife. Etc.

But there’s a reason for that.

They needed to get on TV. They needed to get on FOX. And when the only thing that FOX was showing at the time were horrible Family Guy episodes and new Simpsons episodes, they knew that they would never stand a chance with a progressive heartfelt show. And so, unfortunately, the first episode is very…FOX-esque. 

And so FOX signed them on for a season and they changed. It’s actually pretty astounding to see how different Episodes 2,3, 4, etc. are from the first episode. Bob turned into a loving, if not exasperated, husband who would do anything for his wife/kids. Linda turned into a hilarious character who subverts every wife trope. The kids’ personalities all developed. They had very little if any offensive jokes. They tried to be progressive (keyword: tried; they didn’t always succeed but they tried).

And now it genuinely is one of the funniest, progressive, shows on FOX.

Certainly the most heartfelt.

So basically Bob’s Burgers did to FOX what Rebecca Sugar did to Cartoon Network. They made a show that initially seemed like it was going to be just like any other bad show on the network so that the network would sign on. And then they changed it into something amazing.
