"Bob's Burgers" Renewed for 6th Season

Despite largely flying under the radar, getting fraction of the attention fellow Fox animated series "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy" are getting, "Bob’s Burgers" has quietly reached a milestone very few broadcast series achieve — a sixth season.
Fox has ordered a 22-episode sixth season of the show, which won its first Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program in August.
"Bob’s Burgers" has not been a ratings hit of the size of "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy" but has developed a loyal following despite frequent time slot moves. This past fall, it held 100% of its season premiere rating in Week 2.
The series also has been a critical darling, recently landing an Annie and and two WGA nominations, and has been a favorite of Fox and 20th Century Fox TV brass.
