- TriviaFollowing the success of Bob's Birthday, creators David Fine and Alice Snowden were brought on board by different companies for show opportunities. One of those parties was Universal Pictures, but the two declined the offer, as Universal was concerned about the show being "too British". Universal wanted Bob and Margaret to move to the United States of America, or have American friends, but that's when Canadian studio Nelvana swooped in. They paid for 75% of the show's budget, with the UK's Channel 4, who did the Bob's Birthday short, supplying the rest.

EXTREMELY FUNNY and INTELLIGENTLY WRITTEN!!!
Wow, I must say that I was shocked to see that the majority of my fellow Yanks, who commented on the series, had mostly negative things to say about it. I don't know about them, but I certainly "dug" the cartoon. How I wish it was on DVD, but at least it is on VHS since Comedy Central isn't showing it anymore. I could totally relate to this series: Reluctantly going over an acquaintance's house, taking a cheap bottle of wine, being bored, longing for home; Going to a supermarket and getting out of the line you were in to get in one that seemed faster just to be held up for eons of time; so forth.
I miss watching this show. It was a Sunday night ritual for me. It depicted a typical couple in many ways. While I've always loved the Simpsons and find South Park humorous, Bob and Margaret is indeed different, but in a unique way and it is very good! I'd hate to think fellow sitcom enthusiasts from other parts of the world think most Americans lack the depth and open-mindedness to get this kind of humor due to what a few of them wrote on IMDB. Many of my friends and co-workers (also fellow Yanks) enjoyed it also. Any more fellow Americans wish to make a positive comment about the show?
