Bob's Burgers: Dad-urday Kite Fever (15x20)

Not sure why two episodes aired in the same week, but I'm not complaining!

Cons:

I feel like I say this a lot on this show, but could have used a bit of resolution on the subplot! Teddy figures out a way to say "lawnmower" by imitating Linda's voice, which was funny, but I wanted to hear him actually say it for the play!

Pros:

This was a Bob episode, and we got to dive into a bit of his psyche here. His father shows up with a kite that was bought after Bob's mom died, but that they never actually flew together. Time to correct that record with the kids! But when they go out to fly a kite, it gets away from Bob and sends him on a grand adventure, where he ends up teaming up with various bikers from the community that are helping him on his journey.

Bob's Burgers: The Dead Bo-ats Society (15x19)

This was a super fun and inventive episode!

Cons:

I can't think of anything to complain about, honestly, I just want more of the vibes this episode was giving!

Pros:

Starting with the subplot briefly, we see Teddy taking care of butterflies in their chrysalises. He misses their hatching because he's in the bathroom, and then has a really hard time saying goodbye and letting them go. He eventually lets them fly free! This was just some good old fashioned Teddy goofiness. He gets weirdly invested in some bizarre thing, brings his personal life into the restaurant, ropes Bob and Linda into paying attention to it too. I liked that the drama/conflict of this subplot was focused entirely on Teddy's emotional turmoil. The butterflies were fine, nothing dramatic happened, but Teddy was Going Through It.
