- 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.

Featured review
It's amazing how two incredibly dull people make for a cute cartoon series.
"Bob and Margaret" hasn't been seen on American television in nearly 20 years. Fortunately, I recently found the series on Tubi*--a channel you can find on an Amazon Fire or Roku device. And, after watching a few episodes, I came to realize that I still liked this show very much.
The show generally has a very mundane plot...with husband/wife team Bob and Margaret having some relatively dull adventures. Yet, despite this, the show IS interesting and it does a lovely job of poking gentle fun at these nice dullards. In just about every way, this show is NOTHING like shows like "Family Guy"...which thrives on its complete lack of realism and "Bob and Margaret" thrives on the normal.
Overall, the quality of the animation is decent, the laughs droll and the show one that kids would probably hate but middle age folks appreciate because the couples' adventures are so 'normal'...that is until they are banished from the UK in the beginning of the third season!
*FYI--The episodes on Tubi are NOT shown in the correct order. This generally is not a problem but can be at times. Look at the IMDB list and follow that order to see them as they should be viewed.
