Okay, I love this show. Its funny, my son never laughs at the other Sunday shows. This is good. Anyone else? ---

I loved Home Movies when it was on, and being by the same creator, the vibe is still there. Absolutely LOVE it so it is bound to be canceled by March and picked up by Cartoon Network. ---

It has it’s moments, but it seems to lose steam through the plot. It’s like there isn’t enough “A” material for 22 minutes. It’s seem to me it would be better to be an eleven minute show or two eleven minute shows ---

I actually just made a Facebook update complaining how awful it was. I watched about 10 minutes of it and switched over to “The Naked Gun” on another channel. I don’t understand the appeal. ---

Nagatha Christie! Yeah. I caught the show tonight, and last week. Reminds me of a quote someone had for Drawn Together. 90% of the show is crap. The other 10% is the best TV ever. Adult Swim needs this show more than Fox. I Said it last week, I say it again now. ---

I was mediocre on it last week, but tonight was so wonderfully bizarre and surreal. Liked it a lot. I’ll definitely be paying attention to this, wherever it ends up. “Nagatha Christie” had me ROFL. 😃 ---

I thought the pilot episode was good. And tonight’s episode was excellent. ---

I liked last week’s episode but wasn’t sure if I’d continue watching it. Tonight’s episode was hilarious! Much better than the first one! ---

I admit tonight’s episode was better than the pilot. This show might not turn out to be bad. Does the elder daughter remind anyone of an cartoon version of Liz Lemon as a girl? ---

What’s the deal with the bunny ears? Saw it last night for the first time. I chuckled at the bed he made from a batt of pink fiberglas insulation. and another like for Nagatha Christie ---

I got some good laughs out of this episode, and likewise for the first episode. I didn’t find “Nagatha Christie” particularly funny, though. ---

This episode was WAY better than the first one; the art was better too. I’m still not sold on the style, and it needs some tweaks but this was a vast improvement. ---

> [@Sitnam](#): > > See also; Sqiuidbillies and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Squidbillies and ATHF, yes? But Drawn together was hardly as surreal (it was also about 10 times as funny, which makes it sad that it was taken off of the air…). ---

I admit this wasn’t as bad as the pilot, I actually laughed a couple times. But I still feel like I could take it or leave it. I admit the voice of the mother-in-law would probably drive me to live in a crawlspace. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bobs-burgers/567894.md?page=2)
