Featured review
Perfect Belcher Christmas
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.
