Fox is putting in an order for "Bob's Burgers," a new animated comedy that's not from Seth MacFarlane or Matt Groening.
The network has greenlit 13 episodes of the half-hour show, which was created by Loren Bouchard ("Lucy, Daughter of the Devil"). Bouchard and Jim Dauterive ("King of the Hill") will executive produce and showrun the series together via 20th Century Fox TV.
As for "Bob's," it revolves around a creative grill chef who owns a just-barely-surviving hamburger restaurant. He runs the place with help from his uptight wife and their three less-than-helpful kids.
Production on the series will begin immediately, with Fox looking at an early 2011 premiere. There's already been buzz that Fox might even consider launching the show behind an NFL playoff game, though such a decision is still close to a year away.
