Central Park (2020–2022)
6/10
Disappointing, But "Okay"
8 June 2020
Never watched Bob's Burger's for years because the commercials just disinterested appeal to me, even though I'm a huge animation fan.

After finally watching Bob's Burger's I became a HUGE and had to go back and watch them all in order, more than once.

Seeing the trailer for Central Park I was somewhat interested. Right of the bat though I noticed they were recycling some of the voice actors as they sounded too similar even in the short commercial.

I actually started watching only after after the third episode due to diminishing content, even on YouTube, during the pandemic.

Sure enough many of the voices are too similar on Central Park to Bob's Burgers Additionally many of the character traits are also similar to Bob's Burgers. End credits with the singing as well.

It's almost a bizzaro alternative reality version of Bob's Burgers. After watching all of the Bob's episodes, some several times, it's just impossible to see the countless similarities. Perhaps they did it to have a sense of familiarity, or built on audience? Who knows. But if they would have not recycled any of the voices or character traits.

I won't any further into detail but if you watch Bobs with any regularity you'll way more in common between the two shows than separate.

Additionally while I love that Josh Gad is on the show I don't like the narration, the 4th way breaking, or the excessive musical numbers.

I'd rather watch Bob's any day. Even Simpson's which has grown tiring I'd still rather watch over Central Park. I'm not going to stop watching CP , for now. But I also don't want it to ruin Bob's for me with all the similarities. Besides once we come more out of the pandemic my regular shows, and many other options will be back in production and there will be even less reason to watch Central Park.

It could have been outstanding with some initial tweaking. Instead it's just ehh. So far hasn't even made me laugh, or even grin.

Not a Bob's Burgers level show.
