Shirley, these things happen in video games. We can't get hung up on real-world morality.


Everyone's favorite animated show about a struggling burger joint is back for its seventh season!
And an eighth season has already been confirmed!
But new episodes air at 7:30 Eastern/6:30 Central on Fox, so be ready for it to be pre-empted if late NFL games run long.

When Louise comes down with an awful flu, she falls into a zany fever dream with familiar faces and a crazy adventure.

Yup. I'm with the other poster though, and I think they'll make it work. They're my least favorite trope though. Getting flashbacks to that awful OC episode.

Musical episodes make for great Bob's Burgers episodes. This was better than the Treehouse of Horror-esque angle they did with last season's premiere.

On a very slight down note, this is the third time on this show that there's been a reference to someone on the New England Patriots. Give it a rest, Larry Murphy.

I loved this episode, but then I'm the type who always loves the weird trippy dream episodes.

The toy guy subplot was fantastic.

I thought it was great. Louise realizing she was dreaming made it better than the typical dream episode that you find on sitcoms.

Mr. Goongala?
As someone who only just rewatched Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal in the past week or so, this episode was amazing. Teddy was great (as usual). H. Jon Benjamin was great (despite only having a few very distinct voices). The "Bowie" songs were great. It's not going down in the annals of Bob's Burgers' best episodes, but it was an amazing premiere for one of the only shows I actually anticipate week to week anymore.

I only kinda know who Tom Brady is and thought it was hilarious. It's all in the delivery.

That poor toy guy though. He's basically made it so his store never really closes. I'm not really sure he minds though.

Toy store guy was the funniest part for me in this episode. They're great in creating this type of character. A bit weird, but not over the top and somehow lovable.

They also have cards from Breaking Bad and Arrested Development. Unfortunately, I think the app is iOS only.

I didn't find this as funny, to be honest. For me these Louise episodes tend to be more miss than hit.

Yup, same here. Too much leaning on being absurdist in dream for its kicks.

The toy guy is an immediately empathetic character.

For me, it's not so much that it's a Louise episode as it was an episode that relies on your familiarity with the character. The past couple of seasons of Bob's Burgers have had its fair share of those episodes, and while they're not bad, they don't make for the best episodes.

Considering it's Bob's Burgers, I really expect him to become a reoccurring character. He can read to Marshmallow in the background of some episode.
