Featured review
A new Christmas classic
"The Plight Before Christmas" is an absolutely beautiful episode that encompasses all the finest aspects of Bob's Burgers. Without giving anything away, the last few minutes of this episode is the series at its most heart-tugging. I'm so glad creator Loren Bouchard wrote the teleplay for this episode. Much like "Some Like It Bot," you can tell extra love and care was put into it. I've been really enjoying season thirteen, but "The Plight Before Christmas" is on another level entirely. I'm strongly considering it as my new favorite episode of Bob's Burgers. It really does have it all: hilarious comedy, wonderful music, pretty animation, and some of the show's strongest emotion.
