It's always comforting to enjoy a fresh half hour with the Belchers, even if this season opened outside my comfort zone with an episode taking place entirely outside the restaurant (or the kids' school). I was originally worried we would have too much diarrhea, but Bob's encounter with the squirrels brought me back and really, it isn't a Loren Bouchard production without an inappropriate cover version of "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" and we went two for two with hilarious closing credits add-ons with Tina's rendition of the Thundergirls song.
It seems that Howard's and Schram's characters are quite similar: neither had a husband (one divorced, one dead), both have a kid about the same age, and both are very up-front and speak their mind.
