The most Central Park-like episode of Bob's Burgers and I love it.
31 October 2021
It was a very good character study of Tina Belcher's weird obsession with every boy she meets. I have a slightly similar experience with girls; I have met many girls I loved over my time in grade school; but I can't settle for just one because we don't stay together for long. Tina and I may not be polyamorous, but we both have a quiet obsession with butts and we both learned it is OK to fall in love as many times as we like. The subplot of Bob hiding Teddy's rat from Hugo was very humorous, but it was the least of this episode. I was super excited to watch it again after I learned that Josh Gad, Rory O'Malley, Daveed Diggs and Andrew Rannells voiced the boys whom Tina imagined singing songs for her. I think the Season 9 premiere of Bob's Burgers accidentally gave Loren Bouchard and Nora Smith the idea for Central Park, because watching it in 2021 is a very different experience from watching it when it first aired in 2018, which I did not do. Now all I hear when Damon, the gum boy, Chad, Jesse and Hayden sing are boys who sound like Birdie, Elwood, Helen, and Griffin. Since they were all auditioning to replace Boo Boo in the boy band, it makes perfect sense that each of their actors would also be good singers for when Tina imagines them singing. What is even funnier is that Birdie and Griffin's conflict in Rival Busker, is very reminiscent of something else that happens during Hayden's song about space.
