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.

Bob's tearfully pleading to the tortoise Ulysses to come to him is easily the most pathetic thing we've ever seen him do. I didn't like it for that reason.

I have to say Inga makes things a LOT harder than they need to be. It's NOT just Mr. Fischoeder responsible for that mess. Not at all.

Lots of good turtle and shell puns. Some of the worse ones were given shade, which I like.

It was pretty funny. 3 1/2 stars.

Didn't like it. Why? Because Regan is one of the most loathsome villains the show has ever come up with and she is never punished for her horrible actions. She gets away with it entirely. That pisses me off.

On the other hand it's been awhile since we've seen Teddy, which is weird because Larry Murphy is a series regular. Talk about dropping the ball.

Funniest joke was upon seeing the kids were gone, Bob asks Linda if they should have more. They could use the help. There's a great dad right there.

Fuck Regan and the horse she rode in on. **1/2.

The Granny throw. I just love how little of a shit the coach gives about his job. I feel him very hard there.

Gene was even grosser than usual this episode, which is a statement. The marble thing made me want to toss the kid into a cement mixer.

For the record, BOB'S pep talk was MUCH worse and more damaging than Linda's. You expect Linda to say stupid shit. When Bob fumbles basically being a decent parent things have gone sideways.

6 year old Tina is cute, dammit. Okay, one more.

Every time Jimmy Junior opens his mouth I always wonder anew what Tina ever sees in this total zero. Girl can do and deserves better.

Teddy on the bleachers was funny. Teddy has been too absent recently.

I liked it. 3 1/2 stars.
