Hey there! Here's a hard one. What are your top ten favorite Bob's Burgers episodes? 💖

You're enabling my ramble braincell by letting me do a top 10 list and for that I love ya ❤️ Okay okay here we go (I ranted about the first 3 eps a while ago so imma be real quick with them)

1. The Runaway Club: brilliant amazing perfect 👌👌👌 It's like they put all of my favourite candy favours in a jar!! Definitely my go to bobs ep at any time

2. The Oeder games: suuuch a good season finale 😭 We're getting Mr. Fischoeder and all these fun side characters along with Bob's glorious shining moments

3. Ex mach Tina: "oh it's a Tina & Jimmy Jr ep no wonder why you love it" yeah yeah yeah pffft. It's a super good and hilarious one too 😭 All the plots are so fun and god I'll never shut up about my boy's musoems

4. Yes without my Zeke: look, it's a Zeke & Jimmy Jr ep and you know I'd eat it up any day!! Their precious interactions from the beginning to the end just bless my heart ❤️ And it's a heist kind of ep sooo 👀👌 There's Frond, there's Branca and bam! Golden comedy! I like Randy's B plot and Arnold too :D My only issue would be that Tina's distaste towards Zeke is pretty ooc considering this is s9. A little injustice to their current dynamic I think

5. Mother daughter laser razor: best s3 ep? Linda & Louise interactions in the whole episode crack me up. Their little bond moment in the end though 😭. This is probably my favourite Logan & Cynthia ep too, they're so golden!! I LIVE for that Freaky Friday rant and the "Diiiie, Logan!" pffffft. And the B plot is so fun, Bob waxing his legs with Tina, letting Gene wax his legs and the little pep talk are both so funny and lovely!

6. The kids run away: probably my fav Louise episode :D Sooo many good lines. "Bribing Louise? We don't have that kind of money". I really love Gayle in this one. Like her apocalypse night rant? Pfffft. And her helping out Louise in the end ❤️ There's also Dr. Yap and the whole "SQUAAAT!" thing

7. Work hard or die trying girl: musical battles baby!! MUSICALS!! I love Gene & Courtney interactions in this one :D And you know I'd dig any ep where they manage to put these many Wagstaff kids together! They're all so perfect! Labonz's great, the ending play's great (actually no it's AMAZING), the outro's great! I'd kill for another episode like this one

8. Best Burger: good? So good? The whole fig store flashback itself is perfecta!! I fricking love the dialogues and voice acting in this one. How they address Gene's flaw and how it's kinda flipped to Bob's flaw too and how it's resolved during Gene's last minute delivery is 👌 Definitely one of their best moments. Super fun ep that's unexpectedly sweet :] Also Mickey and that drunk flashback scene pffffft

9. Bob Day Afternoon: why is this ep so fricking funny?? The legendary phone call bit is everything!! Mickey & Bosco are 👌. And Tina 😭 precious and hilarious as always. The family clinging onto Bob before he delivers burgers is both so funny and oddly sweet. Idk why I like it so much, I just pick this ep everytime I wanna go unwind mindlessly wheezing for 20 minutes pffft

10. Sea me now: my fav Teddy episode :] I don't think it's a masterpiece kind of ep but something about it just gives me looots of good vibes. The storyline is pretty fun, Teddy's arc is so lovely, and Tina's cellphone plot is so stupidly funny. I especially love the ending, always so heartfelt to me ❤️ (but it's Teddy so there're funny lines interrupting too pffft)

Knox Colby and Will Wagstaff on musical influences:

KC: With Brian Eno, that’s been a lifelong obsession. I can’t remember a time where I haven’t listened to Brian Eno. As I’ve grown up, the amount of introspection his work forces me to do helps get my head right to write lyrics. I’ll usually write lyrics to some of his work. Or even trying to phrase things or trying to find the right words – I mean I listened to Randy Newman last night! He can make you laugh and in the next song, he can make you so utterly sad. And stuff like Swans I find is incredible.

WW: I just love pop music in general. Something those artists share is they know hooks. They know rich parts. In some aspects, it’s very mechanical and thought out. Then you have someone like Phil Collins, who’s obviously such a creative that he can write a pop album, but it’s gonna be a bit all over the place. Musically, I just love to be able to have a hook. I think that’s a very important thing to have. I guess the other thing is I love the production cart of shows. Madonna’s live show is obviously insane. It was just crazy! I don’t think we could ever do something like that.

The Wire: 10 Storylines That Were Never Resolved | ScreenRant

Though it wasn't the most wildly watched show when it was on the air, The Wire has steadily risen in popularity to become one of the most acclaimed shows of all time. The HBO series explored the war on drugs within the streets of Baltimore and how it penetrated various aspects of the city.

RELATED: The Wire: Top 10 Characters, Ranked

The series was a realistic portrait of the modern crime world, and unlike most cop shows on television, it showed there was good and bad on both sides of the law. Though the series came to a satisfying end after five seasons, there were several questions left hanging. Here are 10 unresolved storylines from The Wire.

10 Daniels' Dark Past

Cedric Daniels was one of the more noble figures in the series. A veteran law enforcement officer, Daniels starts the series with ambitions to rise through the ranks but ultimately decides to put the Avon Barksdale case ahead of his own career ambitions.

As a way to convince Daniels to play ball, Burrell explains that he has a DEA file on Daniels that questions some unexplained income. Daniels seems to confirm that he did do something wrong, but it is never explained what his crimes were.

9 Brother Mouzone

One of the most fascinating characters on the show was a well-known figure from New York named Brother Mouzone. The calm and collected gentleman might not appear to be a threat, but his reputation is one that is feared by many.

RELATED: The Wire: Omar Little’s 10 Most Intimidating Quotes

Avon recruits Mouzone to help him rid Marlo Stanfield's crew from his territory. After being betrayed by Stringer Bell, Mouzone teams with Omar Little to take out Bell. Once he and Omar part ways, Brother Mouzone is never seen or heard from again.

8 The Greek

In Season 2, a new player in the drug world is introduced in the form of the mysterious "Greek". An apparent expert at keeping a low profile and avoiding police suspicion, The Greek operates as the supplier for several of Baltimore's biggest drug dealers.

By the end of Season 2, The Greek's operation has been found out and he leaves the country with his crew. However, we see in subsequent seasons that he is back working the same trade in Baltimore. We never discover how he managed to come back and remain anonymous.

7 Cheese And Randy

In one of the more random bits of trivia on the show, the creators revealed that Cheese Wagstaff and Randy Wagstaff are father and son. Cheese operates as a soldier for Proposition Joe, then Marlo. Randy is a young kid whose life is destroyed when rumors spread that he was snitching.

By the end of the series, Cheese is killed and Randy is living in a foster home, turned into an aggressive and violent young man. We never see the two speak to each other or even mention the other's existence.

6 Templeton's Lies

Season 5 of The Wire focuses on the fledgling newspaper industry in Baltimore. When news of a possible serial killer emerges, the paper's head people jump on the sensational story and assign young reporter Scott Templeton to cover various stories on the subject.

RELATED: The Wire: 15 Moments That Prove It's The Best TV Show Of All Time

It is later discovered that Templeton has fabricated most of his articles and is a fraud. Though his editor suspects the misdeeds and McNulty is aware he's phony, Templeton is later seen winning an award for his work. We never get to see if his lies eventually catch up with him.

5 Marlo's Path

Once Avon Barksdale is sent to prison, a new player moves in to take over. Marlo Stanfield is a cold and calculating man who is willing to drop as many bodies as he needs to in order to rule the Baltimore drug trade.

The final season sees McNulty and his team going after Marlo. While his empire falls, he is able to escape prosecution along with his wealth. The final episode finds him attempting to move into legitimate business but he also feels the need to return to his more dangerous life of crime. It's not clear which path he ultimately chooses.

4 Nicky Sobotka

Season 2 of the show focused on the troubled business at the Baltimore waterfront. The once-thriving port is struggling and Frank Sobotka, the man in charge of the docks, turns to drug trafficking to support his workers.

After Frank is killed by The Greek, his nephew Nicky decides to help out Daniels' investigation. He informs on the entire operation, forcing The Greek to leave his business behind. Nicky is placed in witness protection, but he is later seen on the docks not keeping a low profile at all. We never find out if he is still in witness protection or if he is now in danger.

3 Rawls' Secret

William Rawls is one of the most despicable characters on The Wire and he works for the police department. He is a racist and abusive man who only cares about bringing murder numbers down, regardless of how it is achieved.

RELATED: 5 Things The Sopranos Did Better Than The Wire (And 5 The Wire Did Better)

Despite his often-homophobic comments, Rawls is briefly seen in a gay bar in one episode. No mention is made of this and the subject of his sexuality never comes up. Though it would be nice to explore more, it was a great twist for the character.

2 Avon's Empire

Avon Barksdale was once the king of Baltimore's drug trade before he was pushed out by the young and ambitious Marlo and ultimately arrested. Later on in the series, we see Marlo visit prison to connect with a drug supplier, but comes face-to-face with Avon, who is running things in prison.

It is not clear how Avon has remained so powerful even when out of the drug game, but he is not someone to let his position of power go easily. It would have been interesting to see what he is up to from behind bars.

1 McNulty's Next Move

Jimmy McNulty is possibly the main character of the series and one of its most complicated. Though a very good detective, other aspects of McNulty's life seem to be a complete disaster. He is a severe alcoholic who cheats on women and has a self-destructive personality.

Though he briefly cleaned himself up with a new girlfriend Beadie, he soon slid back to his old ways. After the scandal with his fake serial killer, McNulty is fired. Knowing what a mess his life can become when he is not a cop, it's left open whether he'll change his ways or continue his downward spiral.

A refreshing alternative to expensive luxury hotels, BEI Hotel San Francisco couldn’t have come at a better time. With hotel rooms often exceeding $400 a night, this distinctive boutique offers far more affordable solutions in the City to both the business and leisure traveler. Yet despite its affordability this upscale boutique does not cut corners in…

More Walking Dead/ The Wire Connections

Oh God, Randy broke my heart (then again didn’t everyone). But seeing him again in the last season where he’s this hardened bully because the system failed him. I just…*sobs*

I know, right?  On a show full of tragic characters his fate is one of the most tragic.  None of those boys deserved what they got (well Namond at least wound up okay), but I'd argue that Randy's fate was worse than any of them. 

In my headcanon, Duquan eventually meets Bubbles and cleans himself up, and Michael enjoys his role as the new Omar.  But Randy can't ever go back to that sweet, happy boy he was.  That boy is gone forever.

Season 4 is about as close to perfect as a show can get, but man is it heartbreaking.  (And now I want to watch the entire series over for the twelfth time lol.)
