Bob’s Burgers – Why The Wolf Of Wharf Street Is The Best Halloween Episode

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

Bob’s Burgers is one of my favorite shows. And one of the reasons for that is how well it does holiday episodes. The Christmas and Thanksgiving episodes tend to have the most drama, but Halloween also inspires a special kind of Belcher family fun.

And the episode that best embodies this spirit is “The Wolf of Wharf Street.” I’ll go on record as saying it’s the best Halloween episode of the show and it raises the bar for every other show. Enjoy!

Hank Hill: How To Be Stubborn Yet Reasonable

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

TV dads are known for being stubborn, dense, and foolish. But some do manage to stand out for all the right reasons. They’re still stubborn, but that doesn’t prevent them from having greater depth.

Hank Hill from King of the Hill is a perfect example of this. He is very much defined by how stubborn and uncompromising he is. But he has also been shown to be reasonable. And that helps make him such a better character while also providing for some endearing comedy.

The Critic Revival: Could It Really Work?

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video entertains the possibility of a revival of The Critic, a remarkable, yet forgotten show from the 90s. After my previous video, both Jon Lovitz and Al Jean came out in support of a revival. And while I’d love to see Jay Sherman return, I think it’s worth asking whether such a revival could work.

Common Side Effects: A Bold Show With Bolder Ideas

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In this video, I highlight a remarkable new show called Common Side Effects. It’s rare for a show to come along and really impress me after just one season. But this show, which debuted on Adult Swim, really raised the bar for just how great adult animation can be. And I highly encourage everyone to check it out for themselves. Enjoy!

My Adventures With Superman: How This Show Won Me Over

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In this video, I recount how I had no real desire to give My Adventures With Superman a chance. Having been spoiled by the Bruce Timm cartoons, this show just didn’t seem like it would measure up when I first heard about it.

Then, I gave it a chance.

And I’m so glad I did. This show is an absolute delight. It gives us a sweet, genuine, lovable version of Superman that the world needs right now. Enjoy!

The Critic: A Forgotten (But Relevant) 90s Animated Gem

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video revisits and celebrates The Critic, one of my favorite shows from the 90s. This brief, but memorable animated series was unique in so many ways. It was even ahead of its time in how it approached modern movies. Even though it ended too soon, it left quite a mark that’s worth exploring.

Why Bob’s Burgers Is The Perfect Comfort Show

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video explores why and how Bob’s Burgers became the perfect comfort show. For me personally, it’s become the show I often turn to when I just want to watch something simple, wholesome, and fun. It’s also one of those rare shows that sets itself apart from other animated shows for all the right reasons.

Plus, it has Gene Belcher. What more could you want?

The Dragon Prince Season 6: Heartfelt, Heartache, And (Escalating) Drama

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is my overall review and reaction to season 6 of The Dragon Prince.

This show has done plenty to captivate me since it first debuted. And the past two seasons have done plenty to move the story forward while deepening the mystery surrounding Aaravos.

But season 6 raised the stakes in a major way. Hard choices were made. Heavy losses were felt. And while the Callum/Rayla romance deepened, there’s a growing sense that it’s building towards something dramatic.

It was still my favorite season to date. But it left me wanting so much more. Enjoy!

Captain Fall: A Dark Comedy Without Any Comedy

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is my take on, Captain Fall. This Netflix animated series looked like it could be another worthy addition to Netflix’s growing library of adult animation. And as a fan of adult animation, in general, I hoped it would measure up.

But it didn’t.

Instead, Captain Fall became one the worst series I have binged in a long time. I honestly cannot remember a time I was this disappointed with a series. It was bad for many reasons, more than enough to warrant a video. Whether you agree with me on it or not, I hope it offers insights and lesson into the genre. Enjoy!

The Dragon Prince Season 5: Review, Reaction, And Dark Trends

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is my general review and reaction to Season 5 of the Dragon Prince. After Season 4 skipped ahead a couple years, this incredible fantasy world and its characters changed a great deal. But Season 5 moved things forward while building towards bigger and darker conflicts. Aaravos is still very much a mystery, but the threat he poses is still as ominous as ever. And this season offers some telling trends and themes that are worth highlighting. Enjoy!
