Bob's Burgers: They're Baaaack

Above is just how I feel because Bob's Burgers is back and it's one of my favorite shows!!

Now for the bad news...this season premiere was not one of my favorites, in fact, it was far from it.  The episode goes back in time as the kids do their own takes on what it would be like if Bob and Linda never met.

Before you go ballistic on me, first off let me say that I'm a huge fan of this show, but this episode doesn't do it for me.  It reminds me of Season 4's The Frond Files, where we see the stories the kids wrote for school projects.  

This episode shows what would happen if Bob never had a mustache and in turn, never met Linda.  Gene's take on the story is that Bob would become Robo-Stache.  Louise says the two would just be honest with each other and meet later on.  Tina takes about how they would never have met, which leads into the most interesting part of the episode by far.  Tina's flashback/side story/whatever leads to an alternative universe where Linda marries Hugo and Bob becomes a health inspector.  This situation leads to a lot of fun callbacks to Human Flesh aka the pilot episode.

The bit thing here is that in all the scenarios, Bob and Linda always end up together, proving that true love does exist.  (Linda Voice:  Awwww, just like Mary and Joseph, having baby Jesus)  

An episode that didn't hit a home-run, but still managed to bring in some fun moments.  Hopefully the rest of the season brings in some magic, because of the adult animated shows, this one is by far my favorite and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in for season six.

Till next week, I leave you with Kuchi Kopi!

Top 8 Minor Characters On Bob's Burgers

Any person who knows me, knows that my favorite animated show is and has been Bob's Burgers for a while!  The characters are on point and the dialogue is more out of this world than a Jayden Smith wardrobe change.

But other than the obvious iconic characters like Tina, with her dry humor and itchy crotch, or Linda who turns almost all her dialogue into a song, Bob's Burgers has a plethora of minor characters that make the show the future animated staple that it is destined to become.  

So without any further ado, here are the characters that make Bob's Burgers....Bob's Burgers (boy, that was anti-climactic)

8. Tammy

Tammy was first introduced as the new girl in school that befriends Tina.  Tina tried to be the bad girl like Tammy, but that's just not Tina's bag.  In later episodes, Tammy has quickly taken to the role of Tina's frenemy.  In one episode, Tina competes with Tammy to become anchor of the school's news team.  When Tina's story takes over the school, Tammy and the teacher try to smear Tina's name and it turns into a real s**t storm.  (Yes, pun intended.)

7. Marshmallow

Marshmallow, the transvestite/drag queen/possibly transgender prostitute.  Who cares what she is, everytime she pops up on screen, I know I'm gonna die.  Usually just for a quick line, like when Tina delievered blueberries (in a basket that also had marijuana) to her and she says, "Blueberries, I'm ready for a bake-off.  Marshmallow is always a treat when she shows her face!

6. Gretchen

"Cleanup, aisle my panties!"  It's lines like that, that makes Gretchen, Linda's trashy friend, one of my favorite characters on the show.  If you look at her closely, she's literally Linda's Tammy, in looks and character.  My personal favorite Gretchen scene is when she loses a bunch of weight and talks about her tattoo not being stretched out anymore and that it actually almost looks like a dolphin again.

5. Zeke

Jimmy Jr's white trash best friend!  Zeke is one of the funniest characters on the show in my opinion!  "I'm redder than a skeeter on a peeter," is a line that I've caught myself using in real life.  Zeke is always Jimmy Jr's cheering section and might be the most happy-go-lucky character on the entire show. 

4. Jimmy Jr.

"Don't tell me not to dance Dad!"  He's the dancing boy with a speech impediment, but he's also the object of Tina's affection.  She's been chasing Jimmy Jr. since day one and she won't stop till his butt is hers.  Jimmy Jr, is always able to provide you with a laugh though, whether he's for Tina or against her in the episode. (and yes, it varies a lot, they're in middle school)  Although his song he sang Tina in a horse suit is nothing short of epic!

3. Aunt Gayle

Linda's cat lady sister, who is way too open about her feelings.  Gayle doesn't really leave her house too often and her social skills are nowhere close to being spectacular.  Gayle does like to dabble on the artistic/creative side though, whether it's painting tons of animal's anuses or creating her own terrible board game called Gayle Force Winds.  When Gayle shows up, you know it's going to be a great night for you, but a terrible one for Bob...and usually everyone else.

2. Mickey

While only making a few appearances on the show, Mickey has definitely left his mark.  Originally showing up by robbing the bank across the street.  Mickey ends up ordering burgers from Bob, before taking him in as a hostage.  After being arrested, Mickey returns tot work for Bob, while simultaneously trying to tunnel into the bank from Bob's basement.  Mickey always provides a laugh and here's hoping we see even more of him in the future!

1. Andy & Ollie

Honestly the best minor characters in the show (I'm not just saying that cause they're my favorite and I'm completely biased...or maybe I am) are Andy and Ollie.  Jimmy Pesto's twin sons and the brothers of Jimmy Jr.  The twins are overly hyper, but also share a connection that sometimes border on creepy.  My personal favorite is Andy looking at Ollie and subtly saying, "I felt you die."  Another classic like from Ollie has to be, "I just peed Andy's pants."  While annoying as hell, the twins are hilarious and will keep you in stitches!

The Shows I'm Addicted To: 10/4/13

Hello all and welcome to this week's edition of The Show's I'm Addicted To!  I'm bringing the blog to you on time this week, even though I don't have a lot of readers, I like to be punctual.  So this week there's a lot of change ups to the list because a lot of premieres have happened.  Plus, I've discovered many new shows!  Also, I really need to start watching Face Off on Syfy.  Let's chalk that show up for an honorable mention!

So to those of you new around these parts, this a week of the Top 10 shows I've been watching this week!  These are my favorites as well as the shows I've been marathon/binge watching on Netflix and Hulu!  So without any further ado, let's check out the list for this week:

10. WWE Smackdown

(Last Week: N/A)

So jumping back on the list since the first edition of The Shows I'm Addicted To, is WWE Smackdown.  Oddly enough, on the first list it landed in the exact same spot!  This week it lands on the list for me because I actually watched it.  I didn't have to rely on Hulu, I saw the actual episode.  As a matter of fact I'm currently watching it.  And it's not too bad, it's done a bit better than WWE RAW in my opinion.  El Torito for Superstar of The Year!

9. Bob's Burgers

(Last Week: N/A)

Making its debut on the list this week is the animation greatness that is Bob's Burgers.  I've fallen in love with this show since I saw episode one.  It really is one of the funniest shows I've seen in quite some time.  Tina is by far my favorite character, closely followed by Linda.  The show is follows one-liners with even better one-liners.  This show is just amazing and I'm super stoked that the newest season just made its fall debut!

8. Brooklyn Nine-Nine

(Last Week: N/A)

Brooklyn Nine-Nine debuts on the list this week, proving to me that you literally can't judge a book by its cover.  I did not expect to like this show.  I didn't enjoy Dads which premiered around the same time, so I kind of wrote it off along with that atrocity.  But after about the first ten minutes I was hooked.  This show is witty and it's a better version of what Adult Swim has been trying with NTSF:SD:SUV.

7. WWE NXT

(Last Week: #8)

Jumping up one spot this week (and getting a new picture) is WWE NXT.  For anyone that knows wrestling, you know that this is the program that features all the up and coming WWE Superstars.  I love it because all the matches are usually amazing.  The matches weren't the most spectacular thing this week, but the storylines were a lot of fun.  I really enjoyed seeing Santino Marella come down to Florida to team with Emma, because they were fantastic together.  I'm also a big fan of the new Bo Dallas Invitational.  Now I know that Sami Zayn already pinned him, but I wish the invitational would go on longer cause I think it is a wonderful heel tactic.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

6. WWE Monday Night RAW

(Last Week: #6)

It seems like WWE RAW has found a permanent spot at number six for the time being.  This week's edition was about the same as we've seen.  I've gotten really upset with this show recently because they were shocking me with some of the stuff that happened, but they are starting to fall in that predictability rut again.  The shining gem this week was definitely the six man tag match with Dolph Ziggler & The Usos facing off against The Shield.  That match was just so good, it really did keep me guessing.  That is the type of match that I want to see every week.  Every other Superstar and Diva needs to take note!

5. South Park

(Last Week: #5)

Sticking at number five this week, the small mountain town of South Park continues to entertain.  This week's episode was full of quote worthy segments including my favorite, "Boo, Boo Wendy Testaburger."  I will say that this episode was much better than last weeks season premiere episode.  I loves everything about South Park, so I'll sit patiently and wait for next week's episode.  I'll have to stock up on cheesy poofs.

4. Weeds

(Last Week: #1)

Dropping down four spots this week is Weeds.  Now this is a show that I'm catching up on with Netflix and I'm completely addicted.  It dropped a few spots this week, but nevertheless I still have a special place in my heart (and playlist) for it.  Now although it dropped four spots, it's not the biggest drop of this week.  (Bonus for whoever can name which show has dropped the most this week.)

3. Once Upon A Time

(Last Week: N/A)

My obsession is back!  I've missed this show more than any normal person should!  (Like I'm normal)  This show has a special place in my heart cause I have a bit of a Disney obsession and it's just a different telling of everything.  I've been waiting months for Season 3 of this show and if you follow me on Twitter (@joeyesrojo) you knew when I watched it because I was constantly tweeting quotes from the episode.  I loved every bit of the season premiere, and I'm a big fan of the kid that's playing Peter Pan so far.  I'm just wondering what is going to happen next!  Well only two more days till I get to find out!

2. Sleepy Hollow

(Last Week: #3)

Sleepy Hollow jumps up on spot this week.  This show has become my new obsession, I am literally on the edge of my seat during the episodes wondering what is going to happen next.  I have a phobia though, because it's on FOX.  Now FOX isn't known to let Sci-Fi shows last too long.  (Firefly anyone?  Terra Nova maybe?)  So I'm hoping this show stands tall and stays on because I'm literally addicted.  Only sad part about this week's episode is there was no headless horseman.  But I have no worries that he'll be back!

1. New Girl

(Last Week: #2)

Last week I said that New Girl was cursed and might be in the number two spot forever.  Well guess that this show decided to prove me wrong.  I love this show way more than I ever thought I would.  If I could marry Zooey Deschanel then I would.  (Zooey, if you're reading this...expect a ring....Sorry Jaime Pressley.)  But I'm almost done with season 2 now, and I need to get started on season 3!  Only about six more episodes to go!

So that's the list this week!  What did you think of it?  Did you like it?  Did you hate it?  Leave me a comment tell me what you think!  

Until next week, this is Joey, signing out!

New South Park Is Coming

Hey there folks, we're going on down to South Park and we're gonna have ourselves a time!  I've been waiting for God only knows how long for South Park to bring back some foul mouthed children to my screen.

I love this show and it's basically my cartoon show.  I think that everybody has that one cartoon show that speaks to them, I mean you may watch more than one, but one is just your favorite.  Whether it be The Simpsons, Family Guy, or even Bob's Burgers.  South Park has been my favorite since back in the day where I watched it with the volume turned down real low so my parents couldn't hear it playing from outside my room.

Now I'm constantly worried about this show, cause there are tons of sources on the internet that are reporting that they are going to stop making South Park more than they are reporting that Miley Cyrus has a drug problem.  My hopes are still up because apparently Comedy Central has a signed contract making sure the show will go on through Season 20.  (Go longer please)

The stuff that's new for this season?  For starters, apparently Trey Parker will no longer be head writing every episode, more guest writers will be going for the show, such as Bill Hader from Saturday Night Live. (Side note, I hope Stefon makes an appearance on the show) 

Also they won't be having that mid-season gap in the show this year, we will get an entire season straight to the face!  Big fan of that!

So tune this Wednesday at 9:30 EST on Comedy Central!  I'll be watching!  (And most likely eating Taco Bell)
