Apparently despite this being the season finale, there is one more random episode airing on June 11. So see y'all again in three weeks.

The last five episodes have been killing it. While I do think the show is becoming a bit stale at this point, I feel confident in saying that so far there are no truly bad episodes.Megaspel posted:Bob's Burgers can sometimes be a bit boring but I loved this episode. It's so very uplifting and all the character dynamics are amazing. I think I prefer it to old Simpsons, which was a bit more mean spirited and pessimistic in general. Bob's Burgers is still pretty pessimistic about the world and stuff, but the characters themselves are so much more positive and find reassurance in each other, it's great. Well yeah, the Simpsons' entire thing was cynicism and subversiveness. It was one of the first shows to break the mold of endless, soulless, overly positive and perfect family sitcoms. That and cynicism itself was a defining trait of the 90's. Like if you compare children's cartoons of the 90's to today, they were far, far more pessimistic and negative back then. I actually do appreciate that positivity is a newer trend in today's comedies.

I really miss when this show was more on point with its jokes. I feel like the episodes generally seem to center more on 'feel-good family time' and lessons these days

They obviously had a 22 episode production season and didn't have space for all the episodes. They are pairing it with a new Fox summer show starting "American Grit" which is why it's not on till the 11th.

FlamingLiberal posted:I really miss when this show was more on point with its jokes. I feel like the episodes generally seem to center more on 'feel-good family time' and lessons these days I honestly don't notice much of a difference between anything from season 2 onward. Season 1 is perhaps a little more crude and crass. It's always been lighter on jokes, which I remember was one of the main criticisms when it was new. The focus has always been on staying true to it's characters and on stories that are actually interesting rather than just serving as framework for jokes. I'd go as far as to say that the fact that there are barely any difference between early episodes and season 7 is a testament to their commitment to making this a quality show... though it's also what has made it become a little stale.

FilthyImp posted:The animation lost a bit of that rough/stiffness that made S1 interesting to look at. Overall there seems to be less ad-libbing (there are a few S1 jokes where Bob's VA just kind of laughs/says 'whaaaat?' in a very incredulous way). Recent seasons have less characters being established, so the freshness of a new interaction isn't always there -- you know when Tammy shows up that she's going to be mean, self-centered or try and usurp Tina somehow, for example. True, I guess I kind of forgot about the ad-libbed feel of the early episodes. I am okay with not introducing new characters though, since that is a commonly used crutch for shows to fill plotlines. Even worse when they're one-off characters. Probably 2/3rds of post-classic era Simpsons episodes introduce some one time character for the family to react to.

The characters feel a lot flatter. For most of the season, Tina's general awkwardness was solely used as a plot point regarding Jimmy Jr., while Louise-centric episodes focused on her being afraid to not grow up. There's more to both of those characters than that one aspect.bull3964 posted:They obviously had a 22 episode production season and didn't have space for all the episodes.

I honestly don't like Teddy as a regular character. Ever since Larry Murphy got into the regular cast, there have been more episodes with "kids in the main plot/Bob and Linda in the B plot," which are the weakest ones. If I had to describe him as a character, I'd use "desperate" and "lonely." Most importantly, though, I just don't think he has anywhere near the funny moments that the rest of the Belchers do.

Man. They really switched that episode with the parade episode for the last episode of the season. The last episodes of the last few seasons have been pretty strong. ...Only, I guess, people wouldn't have watched the parade episode then?

Yeah, that wasn't so much a finale as it was some kind of bonus episode for having watched the rest of the season, but Bob wearing the harness during the credits was funny, and more Megan Mullally is never a bad thing.

It was okay, but "Gayle is annoying" and "Bob has to deal with annoying one-off character" are definitely overused plots.

That guy was actually what Bob could have been if he fully indulged his faux-outdoors obsession. They also should have had Jon Glaser voice the store employee instead of Rob Riggle.

That's true, but they do tend to give these characters that Bob is often forced to deal with the same, for lack of a better term, spergy and in-your-face persona. I feel like we've met this character 20 times already which is why the episode doesn't stand out at all for me.

There was a very shoegaze-y/dream pop song at the end of the valentine's episode, is it on the album?
