Revolves around married English couple named Bob and Margaret Fish, a middle class 40-ish working couple with no children and two dogs named William and Elizabeth. Bob is a dentist and Margaret is a chiropodist. Bob and Margaret struggle with everyday issues and mid life crisis. Stories often revolve around the mundane, but in a way which is eminently relatable. In the first two seasons, Bob and Margaret live in England, in the South London community of Balham. For the third and fourth seasons, they move to Toronto, Canada, allowing the writers to explore the humour of the culture clash.

Bob and Margaret Audience Reviews

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

sh33na This was brilliantly written and executed. Sadly, only the first two years were worth the effort. Someone had the not-so-great idea to move the characters and change the voice. Who's in charge? Dumb move. One of the best things about this series was the way they presented two professional childfree characters. As this becomes more and more the norm in our culture, it's a shame that there aren't more shows like this that can poke fun at both the childed and the childfree - and do it without being cruel to either. Two good seasons was not enough. This is a show that could be done again. I, too, would like to have the episodes on DVD. Let's hope they aren't lost forever.

White Dolphin ...just like the person before me said: this show has sophisticated humor. I mean South Park, come on. How many times can you laugh at "Oh My God they killed Kenny!". South Park is ok. But Bob and Margaret is way way better and much funnier. Of course I don't expect you yanks to understand it. British humor is way different than American humor. This show is full of sarcasm and wit. Realistic characters. It's a great social parody and it doesn't need potty humor to get laughs. I laugh much harder watching Bob and Margaret than South Park. The animation and humor is brilliantly thought out... I personally think it would be a crime to take this off the air. It is one of the few animated shows made for adults that has class.

Op_Prime This show is tasteless piece of garbage that isn't even close to being funny. Yes, I know South Park can be tasteless too, but it's at least funny. Nothing about this show is good. It should be nominated for worst animated show award. I'm sure it would win. Don't bother asking for improvements people. Ask for it's cancellation.

ChrisL-9 In my view this is the best animated series on TV (even better than the Simpsons) and it is probably the best sit-com apart from Frasier. The voices are excellent and I love the dogs.
