The episode is largely split between Bob and Linda struggling with one of those tedious realities that many adults have to struggle with and the kids being able to exercise a day of having the upper hand for one day of school.

I came here expecting really good reviews and was surprised!
I thought it was very heartfelt and sweet to address Ms Labonz, the "mean teacher", and show how she's a real person, with feelings and a crappy job, and really does want Louise to succeed. I love how this show humanizes everyone.
It definitely seemed in-character for Louise to write clever but mean things all over the evaluation especially after she thought she'd been personally slighted by LaBonz. But she's a good kid at heart and redeems herself.
The second story with Linda and Bob's funeral planning was just ok, but funny banter with Teddy.
Cute credits song too!

Not enjoyable at all really. A bit offensive too, not outrageously though which saves this from being a 1.
So it starts off with this weird opening that is slow and doesn't need to exist. Feel free to fast foward this 3 minute opening as it has nothing to do with the plot and doesn't set up any characters ambitions to do something. After this we get tied into the subplot about Linda just being a nagging wife blah blah blah same stuff we've seen the past 5 years. She is getting on my nerves the past few seasons she does not shut up. Then the main plot just happens and is skipped over in 2 minutes. I didn't feel satisfied at all and was very confused. Lastly, they bring back the subplot and tie it up with some of the stupidest, most forced Jefferson shoulder ever.
All and all, a pretty boring episode that had me snoozing through the long and uninteresting dialog and at best I wasn't half asleep. Don't recommend this one.
