69. “Crawl Space”
(Season 1, Episode 2)
After the pilot, “Crawl Space” is a step closer to the Bob’s Burgers we know and love, with the introduction of primary kids’ antagonist Mr. Frond, the first appearance from Teddy, and an early Bob-goes-insane plot (perfected in season two’s “Burgerboss”). The mother-in-law plot is irksome, but less grating than the forgetting-the-anniversary plot from “Human Flesh,” maybe because the episode is funny enough to distract from it.
Still, this “Crawl Space” is only the second-best TV episode to air in 2011 with that title, the other being Breaking Bad’s. That’s impossible competition, though.
Best moment: When Bob blows Tina’s mind.
