Bob’s Burgers Gives Marshmallow a New Voice

Long-running animated sitcoms face a unique challenge in having to account for an episode that aired more than a decade previously, and this recent Bob’s Burgers proves that this can be accomplished thoughtfully and deliberately. “Hope ’n’ Mic Night” repeatedly references the season one episode “Sheesh! Cab, Bob?” which introduced Marshmallow to the show but also did a few things that cast trans characters in a less than flattering light. Fifteen years later, the show gives Marshmallow 2.0 the spotlight she’s deserved for while, and frankly it’s heartening to see a show make all the right moves.
Watch the homemade Archer/Bob’s Burgers crossover that got Simon Chong, the director of this episode, a real Hollywood job.

It always takes me a second to remember that they are young. They have a vast knowledge of so many things that I sometimes forget.
