I don't feel like you can put that on writers. Writing a movie doesn't take very long. It's everything else that does.

I mean more like Loren wasn’t able to dedicate the time to really showrun the show while also directing and composing and writing and producing the movie, so some (quite a few) subpar scripts got produced.

Again, I love the show, I think this season is great, movie was great, but it hasn’t been perfectly smooth sailing all the way.

Still no new episodes until 2/19 (Every other year they seem to have this long hiatus, Fox Super Bowl or not)

Anyway, the real Bob's Burgers turned 60, and apparently had just as much luck in the beginning:

Aww! Good for them. This show about entirely unsuccessful burger joint owners nonetheless makes me dream of having their life. I could be fantasizing about winning the lotto, but no. My brain has decided it wants to have a rad family and run a tiny, failing burger joint in a tourist town.

Can someone tell H Jon Benjamin to not voice Bob like... he's... terrified... to... speak... every... single... word.. of... every... single... sentence?

It's becoming grating to me and actually making the episodes harder to enjoy. In the earlier seasons he played Bob like any other of his characters and it was so much more effective.

I liked it. Not to that extent but I definitely remember having a holy crap moment when I realized the "cool kids" would actually talk to me like normal.

Also I feel like they've gone for more realistic emotional moments a bit more than normal lately. That's saying a lot since the show has typically avoided them. I like it since I always felt it was something the show was lacking.

The musical outros are the best part of the show. But also I don't recall any musical bit that didn't hit.

Two episodes tonight, Fox schedule makes it seem like 16 is a two-parter:

16: What a (April) Fool Believes
Mr. Fischoeder challenges Bob to successfully prank him on April Fool's Day.

17:Crow Encounter of the Bird Kind
Tina drags Bob along on a desperate quest to earn her bird-watching badge for ThunderGirls; Louise and Gene try to keep their new restaurant game a secret from Linda.

The multiple Counting Crows bits were pretty funny. Although I do think an issue with the prank one was that it resolved a little too quickly and we needed more paranoid Bob.

I think that a lot of society woke up to the fact that a father screaming at or in front of their children isn't as funny as it may have seemed to some in the past, and frankly, I appreciate it.

I actually really like the way they handled this in the episode where the restaurant catches on fire. Bob wants to yell and is mostly successful at stopping himself, but he's not perfect and he's rightfully in an emotional state.

Pretty good episode. I loved the little montage of past pranks.

Kind of wish it had been more of a Bob/Gene episode.The set up was good with Gene being the only other one who doesn't like April Fools, so he's the only one Bob trusts.

Agreed. You can yell when people are in danger. Not just when you're pissed at your wife and kids.

And I love Teddy, but I have a soft spot for awkward weirdos.

Counterpoint: H Jon Benjamin yelling is really funny

Also in the earlier seasons they all yell at each other constantly. It fit.
