After giving thanks and enjoying a hearty turkey dinner, have an extra helping of laughs when Fox presents an exclusive sampler of Bob's Burger during network television premiere of The Simpsons Movie on Thanksgiving night (Thursday, Nov. 25) from 8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT on Fox.
Bob's Burger, the new animated series about a man, his family and a burger joint, opens this January on Fox's Sunday "Animation Domination" lineup at 8:30PM ET/PT.
The newest member to join the Sunday "Animation Domination" lineup, Bob's Burger follows a third-generation restaurateur, Bob (H. Jon Benjamin, Archer), as he runs Bob's Burgers with the help of his wife and their three kids. Bob has big ideas about burgers, condiments and sides, but only a few thoughts on customer service and business management. Despite his greasy counters, lousy location and occasionally spotty service, Bob is convinced his burgers speak for themselves.

Sitcoms Airing Tonight

United We Fall - "My Favorite Marta" (ABC, 8:00PM ET/PT)

The Conners - "Live From Lanford" (ABC, 9:00PM ET/PT) (Repeat)
Mark is watching the results of the primary for a school report with Harris who is apathetic to the electoral process and believes money’s influence in politics means real change is impossible. The rest of the Conners share their differing takes on why they all think everyone should vote, including their working-class perspective that you may have to vote for a candidate you don’t love but one that will “screw you the least.” All of this happens against the backdrop of romance when Louise (guest star Katey Sagal) gets an opportunity that might send her away from Lanford, prompting the family to interfere in Dan’s (John Goodman) complicated relationship with her by throwing Louise a surprise going-away party, creating major new tensions between Dan and his daughters.

Against Greg’s better judgment, Katie pushes Taylor to lighten up and participate in her school’s senior prank. Meanwhile, Anna-Kat asks Oliver to give Franklin (Evan O’Toole) a makeover so he won’t embarrass himself at a classmate’s party.
