Another good season is cooking on “Bob’s Burgers”

“Bob’s Burgers” is something of an anomaly. It’s certainly not a kid’s cartoon, but it is also nowhere near as profane as shows like “Family Guy” and “South Park.” “Bob’s Burgers” is in a category of its own, and it excels in this uniqueness as it enters its seventh season, which premiered Sunday.

“Idina” doesn't live up to potential

There is no denying that Idina Menzel is a dynamic and multifaceted performer. Ask anyone from the six-year-old who has been belting out “Frozen” tunes for the past two years to the avid theater lover who saw Menzel perform on Broadway in “Wicked” and “Rent.”

“Transparent” exudes authenticity, truth, love

When creator Jill Soloway accepted the the best comedy award at the Golden Globes for season one of “Transparent,” she expressed hope the show could “teach the world something about authenticity and truth and love.” Indeed, those three virtues form the pillars of this show.

This is “This is Us,” unfortunately

There is an audience for a show like “This is Us.” They’re the type who cry during Nicholas Sparks movies. Honestly, they’re probably buying premiere tickets in advance for every single Nicholas Sparks movie.

The pretty good place

Within the first 10 seconds of “The Good Place,” main character Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) reads this message: “Welcome! Everything is fine.” It’s a message that rings incredibly true to the quality of the show itself.
