The Plight Before Christmas

But after 13 seasons I'm not surprised Louise Blecher could pull it off. There's something about Bob's burgers... a commitment to quality character building, and a brilliant and consistent voice acting cast that makes yet another holiday episode to a long running show feel welcome and unencumbered. The show writers deserve much appreciation.

There are quite a few Bob's Burgers Christmas episodes that have become holiday viewing staples. This episode takes a new, more emotional approach. Leaning less on laughs, and proving to the audience that the Belchers have always been more than just a comedic bunch. They're family.

My love for my favorite animated show just got a little bit deeper.

This is such a stunning episode and might even be my favorite ever. Bob's Burgers is my go to feel good show and this one made me feel just that and more. Like most have already said, it brought me to tears. The growth displayed in all three of the children was such a nice change of pace (don't get me wrong, I love when the kids act like kids too). During the last five or six minutes there is minimal dialogue but you can feel the ease in the characters through the soundtrack and their glances to one another. I created and IMDb account just to rave about this episode. Incredible Incredible job with this one.

What an amazing episode. It is absolutely the best of all of the characters that we love. Some of the appeal of this show is the wonderful family dynamic. Nobody is perfect but the love is absolutely real. This episode embodies everything I love about this show. I am so glad to see things back on this track. The last couple seasons have been average and I still love the show but this episode put things back on the outstanding level of the first few seasons. It gives me hope that there are many many more great episodes to come. I love watching the season specific episodes and this adds to the amazing list of excellent Christmas episodes!

A phenomenal episode, and one of the best Christmas episodes I've ever had the pleasure of watching. It effortlessly displays every character's best qualities, and ties together not just what Christmas means, but what the characters mean to each other.

I don't normally write reviews, but my fiancée and I are big fans of the show, and we're absolutely floored by the quality of this episode. Everything from the characters to the humor to the music was executed flawlessly. This season has had multiple strong and emotional episodes, but none so much as this. I hope to see many more from the cast and crew, but if this were to be the finale of the entire series, I would be satisfied.

The Bleakening has always been my favorite Christmas episode but The Plight Before Christmas is now most definitely tied with it.

It's sweet, funny, musically moving and truly highlights the love in the Belcher family.

Sorry. No spoilers here. To say one thing may give away too much. Except that Gene is still razor sharp with his quips, Louise is still raising eyebrows and Tina is still a Thundergirl. While Bob & Linda are trying to be the best parents they can be.

I think most parents/family members have had to deal with kids having events on the same night. It's sometimes an impossible situation, but the Belchers make it work in true Belcher style.

Made me misty. Did not see that coming.
