Bob and Margaret™ was based on the 12 minute Oscar winning short film, Bob's Birthday, which Alison and David made for The National Film Board of Canada and Channel 4 Television in the U.K.

Bob and Margaret has enjoyed great critical and ratings success.  On Comedy Central in the US, the ratings were second only to the hit show South Park.  In Canada on Global TV, the show was the number one rated Canadian show and was the twelfth highest rated show in the context of all television series of any kind.  In the UK, Bob and Margaret enjoyed unprecedented critical acclaim for a UK prime time animation series with numerous picks of the day and excellent reviews in the major press.

Bob and Margaret has won a number of awards and accolades including TV Guide Magazines public choice for favourite animated show and Best Prime Time Animated Series at the LA World Animation Celebration.

For the second 26 episodes (season 3 and 4), Bob and Margaret moved to Toronto themselves. This was because the major funding for the production was from Canada and this required that the series tell stories based in Canada. So the Fish's moved to Toronto for adventures as displaced Brits in North America. Alison and David consulted on the series, but did not direct or story edit the shows as they did in the first two series.

All 52 episodes continue to air in Canada on the Global Television Network. They can currently be seen in the US on Showtime and in the UK on the Paramount Comedy Network. The show is also broadcast in numerous other countries throughout the world as far afield as South Africa, Russian and in Latin America on the Locomotion Network.
