Bob’s Burgers is back on FOX after a four-month hiatus, and the Belchers picked up the rest of season 16 on Sunday night with episode 11, The Keyboard Kid. The animated comedy aired at 9:30 p.m. PT/ET on Apr. 26, returning after a mid-season break with its original voice cast intact.
H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts, Dan Mintz, Kristen Schaal, Larry Murphy and Eugene Mirman all returned for the new episode. Mirman has been recovering from injuries suffered in a car crash earlier in April, making his return part of a season that has already had an unusual stretch between episodes.
Five episodes remain in season 16, and FOX has set the finale, Stuck in the Middle with Hu(go), for Sunday, May 17. That gives viewers just a short runway before the current run closes out, with the series moving quickly from its comeback episode toward the end of the season.
For fans who want to watch live without a traditional cable package, sling tv is one of the options carrying FOX. Sling Blue starts at $45.99 per month and includes more than 40 other channels, while Sling Orange + Blue starts at $60.99 per month and includes over 50 channels. Channel availability and pricing depend on the viewer’s local TV market, and Sling Blue also includes FOX, with ABC and NBC available in some markets.
The comeback episode lands at a useful moment for viewers who do not want to wait for clips or streaming catch-up later. With only five episodes left and the finale already on the calendar, season 16 is in its final stretch now, and the easiest live path for many households is the same one FOX viewers have used all season: a Sling subscription that carries the channel in their market.
