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!

Family Guy: I Wrote This Review On Adderall

Ever thought that you couldn't really pay enough attention?  Ever felt jittery, unable to sit still?  Well, this episode of Family Guy Stewie gets diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed Adderall.  It's prescribed by Dr. Hartman in a scene where Stewie gives my favorite line of episode, a throwaway while pointing in the corner of the examination room and proclaiming, "There's a cat in here."  I died. Sorry, I got sidetracked, maybe I need Adderall.

This oddly seems like an early episode of South Park where all the kids get diagnosed with ADD.  The storyline is insanely similar, but has a twist to it, when Brian starts taking it too.  Brian becomes riddled with energy and becomes increasingly "creative".  The contrast between Stewie and Brian provides a lot of fun, culminating with Brian trying to pitch a fantasy world he created to George RR Martin.  Martin gives a great line saying, "Medication doesn't make you write well, it just makes you write a lot."  At the end of the episode, Brian and Stewie proclaim that neither of them have attention problems, they're just normal people who don't need medication.  Hopefully this gets a point across to the family guy viewers.

In B-Plot news, Quagmire gets a spot as a chef on a local TV show and Peter is cast as the goofy sidekick.  Peter is the reason Quagmire lands the gig, because the executives loved Peter's antics and wanted them as a duo.  The story seems like the Beefsquatch episode of Bob's Burgers.  

Peter and Quagmire of course split after they can't work together and then end up with individual cooking segments.  This ends up with them going Iron Chef on each other, with the loser leaving the Network.  The episode ends with Peter sacrificing his win for his friend and then together, they say the N word to get banned from food related television Paula Deen style.

Overall, I thought the episode had its funny points.  I was able to pick out storylines from two different shows that seemed to be picked from though.  I'm sure that's not the case at all, but you can't help but wonder sometimes.  Hopefully this season of Family Guy proves to be as good as its predecessors.  But only time will tell, until then...
