Central Park

Okay, as a Bob's burgers fan, I have to say I really enjoy the whole awkward-but-loving family backstory and the songs are catchy as hell. Season one had a fantastic backstory / plot that made the whole thing fast paced and truly amazing, but somehow they dropped it in season 2 and even though I love the characters, my sparkling joy has been tainted and is slowly wearing me out. Come on Central Park, find back your soul !

Let me start by saying right off the bat that this is an animated MUSICAL series. If musicals are NOT your thing, please...DON'T WATCH THIS!! I've noticed several negative reviews here from people who hate that "there is too much singing" in the show. Don't ruin the ratings here for a new, original series just because it's a genre (musicals) that you don't even like. I don't like reality shows so, you know what? I don't watch them and therefore don't share my opinion on any of them. Now... for those who DO LIKE musicals (like myself) this show, in just two episodes, has tapped into something that has not really been explored much outside of Disney animated movies. We've had plenty of animated series that use adult humor but how many have used the musical as their primary format? Not only is Central Park laugh-out-loud funny, the musical numbers are actually really, really good! Almost all the songs are infectiously catchy to the point that you might just find yourself searching for the soundtrack in Apple Music or Spotify (I know I will). Watching this I felt like I was watching a great Broadway musical, not an animated tv show. Please ignore the negative reviews here because they are speaking from their bias against an entire genre. This is a hilarious show with surprisingly well sung musical numbers that will have you rewatching when it's all done.

The plot is pretty interesting, but in true musical fashion, half of each episode is spent singing about things that don't further the plot along. If you are into musicals, this show might be for you, but if you are looking for something more like Bob's Burgers, you are better off checking out The Great North instead.

WORD OF WARNING - READ THIS BEFORE YOU WATCH THIS SHOW: If you're the kind of person that found the singing in The Bob's Burgers Movie to be in any way 'annoying' and hated the songs in that movie, then AVOID Central Park like the plague, as for you this is about 100 times WORSE.

If those of you (who find the singing in The Bob's Burgers Movie to be annoying) stupidly decide to watch Central Park, then don't say I didn't warn you, and I say have fun losing your sanity.

The creator of Bob's Burgers, Loren Bouchard, has created a brand new show made exclusively for Apple TV+!

'Central Park' is an animated musical series set in New York City where a family of caretakers who live and work in Central Park, end up saving the park, and basically the world.

The voice casting, including Kristen Bell, Tituss Burgess, Daveed Diggs, Josh Gad, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Stanley Tucci, and more, are perfect; the animation is definitely the same as Bob's Burgers; the plot is incredible; the musical numbers are phenomenal; the setting is great; and the characters are magnificent!

If you have seen 'Bob's Burgers', then you'll be recommended to see 'Central Park'!
