1. A River Runs through Bob: You know, of all of the season openers thus far, I have to say that this is the most unimpressive. I'm not saying that the episode is bad, in fact it's actually a good episode, but not something I would start a season with. It's about the family going camping, and stuff going wrong. Its been done, and nothing here is really unique, aside from the crazy people that they meet during the trip and the gadget Bob is obsessed with. However, the part with Tina and the Flower Scouts was a great part of the episode, and my favorite part of the episode. 7/10

2. Fort Night: I adore this episode. It's about a fangirl crazy for Louise (literally crazy) named Millie who tries to get Louise to go trick or treating with her. Then, Louise and some friends go into a fort that the Belcher kids made, and there is when Louise tells Millie off. Millie, in an act of vengeance, decides to leave them trapped in the fort after a truck blocks their exit. I really like the thriller and horror elements in this episode, and the how Millie gets her dose of karma at the end. The parents trying to make the costume was also a good part of the episode. 10/10

3. Seaplane: Another great episode, this time with Linda going on plane driving lessons by a guy who has a history with women. Not a bad history, just a...history. It is hilarious how badly the pilot, Upskirt Kurt's, plans for a romantic date. It's also funny seeing Bob trying to get to Linda before something happens. It's just another great episode. 9/10

4. My Big Fat Greek Bob: This episode is the return of Dr. Yap, and depending on what you thought of Dr. Yap in his debut episode, you may think that this episode was either good or bad, but I never really minded Dr. Yap, so I thought his pathetic attempts to look cool to the college kids really funny. This episode is basically about Bob getting caught up with the college kid's pranks, and the kids trying to find a secret within the dorm that the college pranksters live in. 7.5/10

5. Turkey in a Can: I really liked this episode, and I actually saw the table read with this episode, and it was so funny. The ending was a lot more heartwarming than I thought it would be. In fact, I NEVER thought the ending was going to be heartwarming. Also, I love how everyone keeps blaming Louise for the turkey being in the toilet, as this is something that she would do. This was an awesome episode, and you should look up the table read if you're interested in stuff like that. 9.5/10

6. Purple Rain-Union: Bob not wanting to go to this thing reminds me so much of how I would feel when I get an invitation to go to a high school reunion. I only went to school because I had to, not to have fun. I did have friends in high school, but I don't like school in general. Before I go on a tangent, let's continue with the actual episode. It's a nice episode about Linda reforming a band she was in when they were in high school, while Bob get's a huge zit on his nose. It is really funny, and it gets funnier when they're actually at the dance. Also, the subplot with the babysitter was also a nice touch. 8.5/10

7. Bob and Deliver: I liked this episode. Basically, Bob becomes the substitute Home Ec. teacher, and decides to covert the classroom into a restaurant. Tina becomes jealous when Zeke becomes Bob's star student. The battle with the lunch ladies was also really good. It's not the best episode of the show, but it really is a great episode. 8/10

8. Christmas in the Car: This was a nice episode. It's a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. The cop just ignoring Bob is one of the best jokes in the episode, and the ending with the crazy guy trying to run Bob off of the road is heartwarming. However, that is something I would not do. If I had a Christmas tree and someone said that they needed it, I would not give it to someone if they tried to run me over the road and tried to start a fistfight with me. But, it is a great heartwarming episode. 8/10

9. Slumber Party: Another example of Linda taking her mothering duties a bit too far. This time, Linda hosts a slumber party with Louise's classmates without Louise's permission. I was fine with all the characters except for the germaphobe girl (I don't remember her name). She reminds me of Hugo if he were a child and a girl. The twist with Jessica is really good, and her being on an equal playing field to Louise is interesting. I just wish that Jessica would come back to the show, as it would be nice to see how their friendship develops. 8.5/10

10. Presto Tina-O: I am not into this episode. First off, Jimmy Jr. is back to one of his two personalities where he acts like Tina doesn't exist. Also, I found it boring. It was just so boring in my eyes. I'm not into magic unless it involves a fight with fire from a dragon, lightning, etc. 



THAT'S the type of magic I want to see. 4/10

11. Easy Com-mercial, Easy Go-mercial: This one is just...meh. It's another Bob vs Pesto episode, but I don't really find it all that interesting either. 5/10.

12. The Frond Files: This is a great episode. I love when Bob's Burgers has these story episodes, where they show us the children's stories. They always have something funny and interesting going on, especially Louise's, which is my favorite. The ending with the children is a bit awkward for my tastes, but it's nothing that ruins the episode for me. 9/10.

13. Mazel-Tina: This was a great episode. Tina pretending to be Tammy just to be a part of the Bar Mitzvah is hilarious. Tammy and Louise being stuck in the giant paper mache head of Tammy was funny as well. This was just a funny episode all around, with my favorite joke being how Louise convinces the Bar Mitzvah planner to leave town. 9/10.

14. Uncle Teddy: Teddy being a babysitter, how could you not make this work? Let me tell you, they make it work here. Teddy is fun loving with letting the kids try out his tools, but responsible enough to tell Tina not to hang out with that weird kid who plays that...whatever the hell that instrument is called. Bob making the entire convention hate him is also pretty funny, with Bob not knowing how to make his posts on the blog show that he was joking. 7.5-8/10.

15. The Kids Rob a Train: The kids go onto a train, and want to take some chocolate from a chocolate fountain. However, they are put into the kid's car of the train, and have to escape. It is always cool to see the kids going on an adventure. And whenever the kids go on an adventure, it's not only always interesting, but it's always funny. Also, Bob going up a professional wine taster was great, especially how Bob is able to defeat him. 8/10

16. I Get Psy-chic Out of You: I...don't get this title. I get some of the titles, but not this one. It just seems really random. Aside from that, this is...an alright episode. Also, I don't hate the fact that Bob is the poo-pooer of the idea of Linda having psychic powers. It's because Bob is usually the straight man and we know that the psychic abilities are bullshit. Other than that, this episode is...alright. 6/10

17. The Equestranauts: This is one episode that makes me ask why Mr. Enter hasn't reviewed this show yet. I really liked this one, despite the fact that I am not a brony and don't even watch the show. I think they're parody of bronies is hilarious, especially the lead brony (whose name I don't actually remember). The ending is my favorite part of the episode, however. It's another satire, this time of that old "I'm too old for this" ending, and it makes me crack up every time I see it. 9/10

18. Ambergris: Here's the debut of Mr. Fisheoder's brother. He's...an alright character, the younger brother who's less successful, but nothing bad. He wants to remodel Bob's bathroom, with Bob hating that idea. The kids find ambergris, and Louise goes crazy after realizing how valuable it is. Also, Mickey is just great. I don't think he's really had a bad appearance since his debut. Aside from those things, this episode is alright. Nothing spectacular, but really good in it's own right. 7.5/10

19. The Kids Run Away: This was a great episode, with Louise escaping the dentists to avoid getting a filling and goes to live with Aunt Gayle. And how they get Louise to get the filling is completely funny. The only problem I had with this episode, and this is just a nitpick, is that Teddy...didn't really need to be there. I mean, I like Teddy and all, but this doesn't seem like something he should be involved in. Also, it was nice to see Tina be able to keep Linda's plan a secret from Louise. 9/10.

20. Gene it On: I really loved this episode. Mr. Ambrose is once again hilarious, with him creating drama for the cheerleaders at the determent to those cheerleaders. Linda also pampering Gene is a mixed bag, but is great once she gets called out for it. Louise being Tina's mouth is also a mixed bag, but is once again triumphed by a satisfying ending, even if it does involve Jimmy Jr. Sorry if I keep harping on it, but I really do not like Jimmy Jr. I just hope there's an episode in the near future where Tina finally cuts Jimmy Jr. loose once and for all. As for the episode itself, it's funny, and made some things that could be uncomfortable entertaining with satisfying endings. 9.5/10

21/22: Wharf House/World Wharf 2: Bob's Burgers first ever two part special. It is an entertaining special. My only problem wit it is that Bob goes from wanting the wharf gone, but after like a less than a minute talk with his kids, realizes that he fucked up and tries to convince Fisheoder not to sell the wharf. The do make jokes about this to be fair, but it was still a bit distracting. Other than that, this episode had great suspense when Bob and Fisheoder were tied to the pier's support beams, great jokes, and a pretty good ending. This two parter was definitely a splendid way to cap off Season 3. 9/10.

Best Episode: Fort Night

Worst Episode: Presto Tina-O

This was a great season, not many episodes that weren't good, and a lot of episodes that were great. Well, I'll see you guys for the 5th season.
