Since Bob's Burgers debut in 2011, The Hollywood Reporter has interviewed the producers on the success of the show as the 100th episode is airing this Sunday. They watched it "go from a bubble show to a bona fide hit". It's definitely worth a read, but here's some highlights:
- Fox didn't think there was enough difference between Gene and Daniel, so Tina was created and replaced Daniel
- Even if the execs didn't see the potential by the numbers, the support from social media really boosted the show
- The voice actors attracted their loyal fanbases (from being stand up comics) to watch the show. Also other famous celebrities were fans of these voice actors and wanted to get in on the action (ex. Kevin Kline/Fischoeder is a big Eugene Mirman/Gene fan)
- The producers believe Bob's Burgers can last as long as The Simpsons/Family Guy, that they are 'just scratching the surface' of what the show can really do
