The crazier and more upsetting life gets, the more I struggle to find joy. But if there is one source of happiness in my world besides my cat Henry, there is Bob's Burgers, a show that makes me feel like there is still good in the world.

Even more than Golden Girls or I Love Lucy, Bob's Burgers pulls me in like no other comedy. I absolutely want to live in BB's world, I want to know all of the characters and walk down the streets of their town and visit their shops and their board walk. I want to go to karaoke with Linda and talk about life with Tina and get into hijinks with Louise and Gene.

Never I have known a show to be both wholesome and provocative, to be sweet and subversive. Unlike Family Guy (something I admit to watching, but find rather obnoxious and mean, even if I do sometimes laugh), Bob's Burgers is about kindness, even if it's in the middle of chaos.

BB has gotten me through the blues, sick days, madness at what is going on today and so much more. I cannot begin to do it justice.
