Bob's Burgers

I didn't find that very effective.

Louise spends the entire episode trying to convince Megan she's gonna get in trouble and she needs to knock it off. And at the 20 minute mark of the episode... Megan decides to delete the video. Not because Louise made any kind of convincing argument or proved she was wrong. But because it's the end of the episode and that's what needed to happen.

That's not good dramatic tension.

Also Linda making baby talk to the baby in the stroller in the shopping cart was beyond creepy. Linda is actually quite creepy in general.

My favorite moment in this otherwise disappointing episode was Tina asking Bob, "What happened, man?" and him responding, "I said I was sorry." It wasn't just a funny moment. I related to both characters for different reasons. It was a very realistic moment, if not one you expect between a father and daughter. It was great.

But the episode's conclusion felt by-the-numbers instead of organic. The happy ending occurred because the episode ended, not because it was earned. 2 stars.

This would have been a great episode. But Millie is in it. I can't stand that character.

But Tina asking if it's weird that kids like eating things that are awful is a good question. Yeah, it's absolutely true. And considering how much kids bitch about having to eat their vegetables actually makes no fucking sense. Kids are weird.

I love Computer Dave. Although the fact that Bob and Linda are too stupid and lazy to back their files up actually annoys me. It should be a non-issue. Especially dumb since their laptop was on its last legs. Honestly, shit like that makes me dislike both characters a little. I don't why. But it does.

The potential for greatness was quashed via Millie and Bob and Lin stupidity. We are left with okayness. 3 stars.

"Boom goes the pineamite."

Bob's Burgers is NOT the show you'd think would lend itself to a great Get Out homage, but there it is. I love when the girls are invited to escape at the end, they remind Tina their parents are gonna pick them up. Why didn't the guy from Get Out think of that?

Funny. Also I wanna go to the camp where you DON'T have to stick stones in your mouth. 4 stars.

It's an enjoyable episode with a good moral dilemma for Linda, but the thing I will most love and remember about the episode was when Linda makes sure that if Bob had a secret family, he'd tell her. And he's like, "Oh, yeah, that sounds like a LOT of work." That is like the most perfect Bob thing to say to that specific idea.

The episode was fun, and in places kind of sad and wistful. Adults adulting. It's good stuff and a good week. 4 1/2 stars.
