81. “Late Afternoon in the Garden of Bob and Louise”
(Season 5, Episode 10)
As I said, season five utilized heart-to-heart moments with the characters far too often and, as much as I love how Bob’s Burgers handles emotion, these moments eventually lose their impact when repeated too often. So, in “Late Afternoon in the Garden of Bob and Louise,” when Bob realizes he’s been putting his garden before his family and apologizes to Louise, it should be a poignant, touching moment. Coming after similar moments in “Friends with Burger-fits,” “Best Burger,” “Father of the Bob,” and others, though, it feels a little phoned-in. Despite that, it does feature “Happy/Crappy Place,” the show’s best original song since “Electric Love.”
Best moment: When Bob tries to come up with a cute nickname.
