I would watch episodes back to back to back to back all day if I could, but I have to work and buy dish soap and stuff so I cannot.
I love everything about this show: the characters, the humor, the story lines, the amazing gifs they produce:
But really there are 7 amazing reasons I love Bob's, and you should love it too:
1. They are a supportive family, no matter what. They support one another's weird ideas and are there for each other when it really matters: Tina's capoeira performance, Gene's tablescaping competition, synchronized swimming lessons, etc.

2. Bob and Linda show their kids the importance of acceptance through their actions. In the episode "Sheesh! Cab Bob" Bob drives a cab to earn extra money for Tina's birthday party, picking up transsexual prostitutes and later inviting them to her party. He treats them with respect and both him and Linda are welcoming of them at Tina's party. In a more recent episode, "Turkey In A Can" Bob has interactions with a man at the grocery store who starts to think Bob is there everyday buying a turkey to pick him up. Instead of getting angry or embarrassed he instead says that he's married, and then that the man is out of his league.

3. Tina. She is seriously the highlight of most of the episodes, her one-liners are great, her voice is perfect, her trademark moan is the best. She is also true to herself, in the few episodes she's changed herself for a boy or a friend she concludes in the end that being Tina is better which is inspiring even for someone who's 23.
4. Linda's examples of being a great mom. Throughout the seasons Linda shows what it is to be selfless for her kids but also be her own person. In the episode "Synchronized Swimming" the kids take advantage of Linda's good nature and use her to get out of PE class — she finds out about their plot and volunteers to be their coach. They continue to use her to avoid class until she becomes irate and leaves them to their own devices. In the end Linda returns to help them pass their final performance because that's what moms do.

5. Tina is an unabashed feminist. As many on the internet have discussed, including my favorite –Rookie, Tina is an awesome modern feminist woman. She doesn't care about what's weird about the way she lives her life, she accepts her body and her sexuality and takes teenage life in stride for the most part. She daydreams about butts, she writes erotic friend fiction, and has the best one-liners ever. I love you Tina Belcher! Also, I make creepy fan art out of some of these scenes:
6. Random plot extras. Linda's overactive gag reflex, Gene's misuse of glue and hot sauce, Tina's nighttime trashing, Louise's intense attachment to her bunny hat, Bob's sleepwalking and love of building models from movies.

7. Louise is a lunatic. Louise is the most maniacal 9 year old on t.v. — there are few moments in all the episodes of Bob's where Louise doesn't cause trouble. In the episode "Bed & Breakfast" she grows angry with Linda for renting out her room to Teddy for the weekend, what comes next is a true testament of how far Louise will go to have things her way.
