Bob's Burgers: Nice-Capades
November 16, 2015 7:57 PM - Season 6, Episode 5 - Subscribe

Christmas comes early with Bob's Burgers, where Louise, Gene and Tina (but mostly Louise) fret over their places on Santa's lists. To make it clear how good they've been, they stage an Ice Capades show in the mall. Meanwhile, Bob has to find a last-minute gift before everything in the mall closes.

A.V. Club thought it was perfect and Vulture liked it, too, but I was underwhelmed. It was just missing something, or maybe I wasn't ready for a Christmas episode before Thanksgiving.

I really liked it (thought I may be easy to please).

It's worth it even just to see Louise act like Bob can't possibly have any knowledge of how Santa thinks/works, and Teddy's membership in the Jewish hockey team, The Mighty Schmucks.

Loved that! And how FRUSTRATED Bob was that he had the perfect response, but absolutely couldn't say anything.

I found that especially jarring because it was Thanksgiving in the Family Guy episode an hour later. Fox's scheduling got a little weird that night.*

*not uncommon considering how many series on Fox run out of order.

The condensed holiday episodes from Bob's Burgers is due to these being the last two to air this calendar year, which sucks.
