Actually, until the end credits I though Kristen Schaal was voicing Kendra (I really only know Maria Bamford by name).

Linda is a splendid mix of utter ignorance and complete competence, isn’t she? God, I love this show.

You sound like my doctor. “You have to change the way you eat, or you are going to die!” Anyway, give me a cheeseburger.

The fiancee was fine. She didn’t treat anyone badly, brought the beloved Uncle Max into the fold and returned to Vienna with dignity when the engagement fell through. Now that politico who wanted the Von Trapps to fly the Nazi flag and insisted on escorting them to the concert ... there’s your villain. As for Rolf, he…

My worst restaurant experiences have started with no bread and no acknowledgement from the servers.

Yeah, wouldn’t it be great if we could contribute our own ratings? Pity websites can’t do that.

Yeah, I think hostile behavior really requires some sort of power imbalance to count as “bullying”. But there’s nothing wrong with striving not to be cruel generally.

- Any episode can be improved with an appearance from Mr. Ambrose.

Yep, Tammy’s a handful!

I loved the payoff to Linda’s story. “You still owe $35" -> “GOT IT!”, bam! end of episode.

Bom bom!

- “The whole time I pictured myself as the Julie Andrews type, but maybe I’m more like, uh...” “The Nazis?” “Oh no. Is there another villain?” I suggest Mr. Banks’ financer boss from Mary Poppins.

She’s bad at math but great at baths.

I don’t know that Tina is... academic enough to be a nerd (don’t let the glasses fool you). She’s more of a dork.

I loved Bob’s acceptance that Linda was pretending to be a bathroom attendant. That’s the sign of a long and healthy relationship, right there. I also loved the payoff when Linda immediately had the cash to cover the bill.

A lesser show would’ve crammed in a C-story about Linda trying to keep her side gig a secret; BB has it as a throwaway aside and damned if I didn’t chortle at Bob’s complete nonchalant dismissal of it with “your mom’s pretending to be a bathroom attendant”.

Again, the show amazes me with its see-the-world-at-90-degrees-off dialog. Gene got in some zingers at the breakfast table. And yes, the Zeke lines were killer as they were about to face off with refugee-from-The Shining kid. You want to point to the tier 2 character who has grown the most, I give it to how the…

the whole thing with tina becoming a bully felt a little “both sides” ish. Tammy had been mean or manipulative to tina from day one, to expect kindness back seems a little much. Tammy seemed like she could dish it, but not take it.

I know, right? With a full season under her belt, I’m surprised she still performs like she’s doing her first ever episode.

Rebecca is super cool with taking female support, effort and energy for himself and giving none in return, too. She does it all the time to Valencia, Paula, Heather, and pretty much every other woman on the show. If she’s a feminist, she’s a shitty “white feminist” only out for one woman (herself) and frankly, the…
