Bobs' Burgers we actively seek out: it's well written, great voice acting, it's funny, clever, charming, has a perfect little touch of subversive humor, and heck, really sweet family dynamics with the characters.
Loren Bouchard was also a creator/writer of the criminally underappreciated Home Movies (some of the same voice talent).
