![]() ![]() This probably means he's calling to say I'm being re-cast. He never calls me, it's always my agent or his assistant. Mintz spoke to The Frame about his fear of being fired after hearing of Bouchard’s decision to change Daniel to Tina: “I remember getting this call from Loren … I didn't answer it. ![]() But the network didn’t think that Daniel stood out enough from the other two Belcher children, so Bouchard decided to see what would happen if he switched the character’s gender. Much like Tina, Daniel was a socially awkward, sexually confused 13-year-old. In Bouchard’s original pitch, the eldest Belcher child was actually going to be a boy named Daniel, voiced by stand-up comedian Dan Mintz. There’s sort of a Sweeney Todd aspect to it.” While the network chose to steer Bouchard away from the cannibalism concept, he did incorporate that idea into the pilot episode in the form of Louise spreading a rumor that the family’s burgers were, in fact, made of human flesh. “I did pitch the show a family of cannibals who runs a restaurant. “There was a brief period when I first started talking to -because I was coming off of doing Lucy: Daughter Of The Devil and I had this kind of more occult-y, sort of darker edge to the way I was thinking then,” Bouchard told The A.V.

Much like the early days of its fellow animated series Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers has earned its place in Fox’s “Sunday Funday” lineup not through breakout ratings, but with the unwavering support of its dedicated fan base.
