While I am a big fan of the type of humor and art style of Central Park, it is not as funny as Loren Bouchard's original creation Bob's Burgers. It doesn't make it a bad show. I still find it to be enjoyable, but the bar has been set and Central Park can definitely not live up to it.
My main issues are the constant singing. Even for someone who does enjoy it, I think the amount of songs is too high. I also think the characters are not as likeable as in Bob's. The family is not as fun and I am not a fan of the villain, as she really just is a mean woman and there is nothing more to it. I do like the struggle between the family/park ranger and her, however, and how it is weaved together with the background of the episodic story arcs - but the stories on their own are also not as memorable as in Bob's. While I can easily remember some situations the Belcher family got into, it is really hard to remember any fun situations the Tillermans got into. And that, I think, is a big problem for a sitcom.
The detailed background drawings and colour palletes are superb and a real pleasure to the eyes. As I am a fan of Bouchards style, I will be watching all seasons to come, but as Bouchards second creation, it dissapoints in the sense that it is not as great as Bob's Burgers.
