Bob and Margaret (1993–2001)
8/10
It's amazing how two incredibly dull people make for a cute cartoon series.

"Bob and Margaret" hasn't been seen on American television in nearly 20 years. Fortunately, I recently found the series on Tubi*--a channel you can find on an Amazon Fire or Roku device. And, after watching a few episodes, I came to realize that I still liked this show very much.

The show generally has a very mundane plot...with husband/wife team Bob and Margaret having some relatively dull adventures. Yet, despite this, the show IS interesting and it does a lovely job of poking gentle fun at these nice dullards. In just about every way, this show is NOTHING like shows like "Family Guy"...which thrives on its complete lack of realism and "Bob and Margaret" thrives on the normal.

Overall, the quality of the animation is decent, the laughs droll and the show one that kids would probably hate but middle age folks appreciate because the couples' adventures are so 'normal'...that is until they are banished from the UK in the beginning of the third season!

*FYI--The episodes on Tubi are NOT shown in the correct order. This generally is not a problem but can be at times. Look at the IMDB list and follow that order to see them as they should be viewed.
