Everyone’s favorite working-class family is finally back: Sneaky Louise, flirty Tina, musically flatulent Gene, ever-inebriated Linda, and the long-suffering patriarch Bob are still trying to keep their plucky family restaurant afloat while fighting off greedy landlords, jealous health inspectors, and worst of all, jerky pizzeria owners. Already this season on Bob’s Burgers, we’ve seen Bob’s friendship to Teddy tested after the gentle giant asked Bob to look after his chicken. Speaking of things going afoul, the Belchers did their best to save a turkey in an oddly heart-rendering Thanksgiving special. And Tina, sweet, precious Tina, developed a friendship with a goose. There’s a weird bird motif thus far in season 9, and frankly, I’m here for it.
