Featured review
Not Quite as Sparkling
When Bob nearly has an accident because of the busy area in front of the inn, he talks to a couple of councilmen. They are willing to take it up at the next council meeting and ask Bob if he would like to run for town council. He begins to see himself in the White House and gets big ideas. This episode, while having a few strengths, doesn't match up to the others so far. The council meeting itself could have used a little pizazz as well.
