The Belchers have proven over and over again that they can scheme, especially with Louise at the helm and a group of rag-tag Wagstaffers in the mix. But never before has an episode gone full Oceans 11-style heist like tonight’s episode did. From the initial plan to the assembling of a crew with a particular set of…

The Belchers always stick together. Even though each family member has their turn being irrational, overly ambitious, and putting everyone in their lives in a dangerous situation, they will always get the support of the rest of their family. In the case of the final two episodes of the season, that means standing by…

Despite some appearances, the Belcher family is a matriarchy. Yes, Bob runs the restaurant and is part of making the decisions, but at the end of the day, what Linda says usually goes. So when she decides in “Mo Mommy Mo Problems” that her Mother’s Day gift will be a day of everyone saying “yes” to what she wants to…

At this point it’s fairly well-known that no one should get on Louise’s bad side. So when “As I Walk Through the Alley of the Shadow Ramps” starts out with a new neighbor pushing her buttons and threatening her reputation by calling her “tricycle girl,” it’s a given that things are about to get ugly. What’s surprising…

After four seasons, multiple location changes, various cliffhangers, and numerous guest stars and cameos, The Last Man On Earth might be at the end of its run. Today, Will Forte and Kristen Schaal both hinted that it’s possible the show would not return in the fall. Though ratings have been on par with last season,…

Tina Belcher’s confidence level is something to behold. She embraces her sexuality and celebrates the weird feelings toward the opposite sex that puberty brings. Even when she knows she’s objectively bad at something, she refuses to give up and ultimately becomes a better person for it. It’s her obsession over cute…

There’s some nice parallel storytelling in this week’s Last Man On Earth: Mike and Tandy embark on a journey to examine the enormous blob on Mike’s thermal imaging system in the hopes of finding new life, while the rest of the gang discover numerous murdered corpses in the walls of their Zihuatanejo mansion. Though…

When the Belchers set their mind to something, they usually do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. Sure, they go about it in a convoluted and often dangerous way, but they channel that blue collar spirit whether it be to finally get off the couch or climb an actual mountain. In “Go Tina On the Mountain” Tina and…

When The Last Man On Earth first introduced Tandy’s astronaut brother Mike (Jason Sudeikis) floating up in space, desperately searching for any human life below, it felt like the series had fully embraced the limitless nature of its premise. After all, if Tandy wasn’t the last person on Earth, let alone the last man,…

Fear is a complicated emotion. It can be caused by real threats, anticipation of the horrible, fictional scenarios, or potential of emotional distress. This week Bob’s Burgers skillfully tackled all those aspects of terror from the perspective of not only the Belchers but some much-welcomed guest characters, old and…

Every so often on The Last Man On Earth, the characters will act completely out of whack for story purposes only to reset at the end of the episode. Sometimes there are justifiable reasons for such a drastic change in behavior, and other times, it either makes little sense and/or the writing forces the performances…

Last week, The Last Man On Earth returned to the status quo by burying Karl and re-introducing Todd’s baby fever. After seeing how Melissa bonds so well with Jasper, Todd feels guilty that he can’t connect with the nine-to-eleven-year-old boy in their midst, but he’s more depressed because he believes he’ll never be a…

It finally happened. The Bob’s Burgers/Home Movies crossover fans have been waiting for aired tonight (sort of). While the characters aren’t explicitly from the late 90s series created by Loren Bouchard starring H. Jon Benjamin, some familiar faces and voices found their way into “The Hurt Soccer.” Melissa Bardin…

Pairing up Tina and Tammy always makes for a magical combination. “Sleeping With the Frenemy” pulls them together in one of the most hilarious and compelling ways yet when Tina has to give Tammy the words to say to an out-of-town cutie (Andy Samberg plays the BFOT or boy from out of town). Tina always tries her best…

Louise Belcher’s ability to not only turn the most menial tasks into an adventure, but also to create ten times more work for herself to get out of something just to prove a point is admirable. On this week’s Bob’s Burgers, she does both with aplomb when the kids are asked to create handmade birthday gifts for their…

When the last episode of Bob’s Burgers aired, the Minnesota Vikings still had a chance at the Super Bowl, Hope Hicks was still the White House Communications Director, and no one knew what Vero was. Maybe that’s why Fox decided to re-air the season premiere before this week’s new episode: to remind us in a…

After being off the air for a month, The Last Man On Earth returned last week with a POV episode about Karl Cowperthwaite, a dorky cannibalistic serial killer played by Fred Armisen. The episode illustrates how Karl’s social awkwardness and mundane lifestyle disarms his victims who naturally don’t believe he’s capable…

Tina’s obsessive on-again-off-again relationship with Jimmy Junior is one of the most nuanced portrayals of young, modern love on television. Tina’s a strong independent woman who just happens to be obsessed with boy’s butts and sick dance moves—her heart wants what it wants and she isn’t ashamed to go after it. So…
