My bad. I guess they didn't want to get beaten by the MTV movie awards handed a note which are "pivoting away from a live event that still enables us to produce a memorable night" because Drew Barrymore is showing solidarity with the WGA.

I'm a freak on a leash.
I still love this show and Bob is fine as he is and I like how he talks. I haven't seen the first seasons in years though.

Also I think the kids tell 3 different versions of a story are usually fun and funny, I think there was one where I wasn't crazy about it but I couldn't say which

Only gripe I agree with from the last few pages is they should use the supporting cast more than they do

The teddy anthology is the only that one I actually hated

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
I didn't care for the Teddy one so much, or the "Convince Gene to hate food because he has food poisoning" one.

There were some funny jokes (The Bread-a-tor) but the premise was just kinda dumb.

Man, Linda is super unlikable in this episode. Usually you can kind of see where she's coming from.

I wasn't a fan either. The catharsis in her realizing why she was being so weird about this thing didn't feel earned or poignant enough to justify one of our heroes holding a woman hostage.

22: Amelia
Louise takes a class assignment -- and a few unhelpful comments by Wayne -- very personally; Bob hires a masseur-in-training to give Linda a massage for Mother's Day.

This is the season finale, but there are 17 future episodes with titles per Wikipedia. No clue how that will factor into a "strike -proof" Fox season next year.

I’m glad Bouchard is getting more active in the show again, the two episodes he was directly credited in this season have been pretty good

Great episode, I especially like the end credits. Louis and Linda are in her room, the background has some detail but isn't colored in, it helps focus on this bonding moment between mother and daughter, and this could be a memory that Louis has for the rest of her life.

I was thinking the earlier episode with the $100 gift card could have possibly been a mother's day episode, but this one did a great job.

Yeah that was a fantastic episode. Both were. I hope he continues to write a few every season because it was really refreshing to see the show do something a little different.

I liked the Gene episodes with the drum machine and Furbo. He's not my favorite character but he's fine too good most of the time.

Linda's birthday episode is good.

Gene is a good character. Except for the way he's written. Same goes for Linda.

Agreed that the Linda episode was bad and Amelia was great but even funnier than either is someone itt thinking the youngest daughter is named Louis

I'll keep harping on about this until the day they right this wrong, but at this point the "Gene is a girl" jokes have gone from a few times a season to basically every episode and god dammit, let the kid transition or stop joking about it.

And yeah, he's a great character, but the Gene-centric episodes aren't for me.

I... have not caught on to that at all. To me, Gene is just vulgar and delights in saying intentionally awkward things, and the majority of his offhand comments are not meant to be taken literally.

I've just always read it as Gene being a femmy gay theater kid. Maybe that's me having too hard a time divorcing Mirman from Merman.
