Bob's Burgers - Saving Favorite Drive-In

A trip to the Drive-In on its closing night provides misadventures for the entire family. Fueled by the nostalgia of a visit as a kid, Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) becomes obsessed with a half-assed on-the-fly attempt to save the theater (unaware the owner wants to sell and retire). Gene (Eugene Mirman) and Louise (Kristen Schaal) get into their own trouble getting into Tina's (Dan Mintz) candy before she was ready to share. And, not to be left out, Linda (John Roberts) attempts to gossip on a text chain backfire and lead to a freak-out for most of the night.

Although Bob has definite nostalgia for the Drive-In, really only specific to a single memory which we see played out over the course of the episode, it's pointed out that he hasn't been back in years (and, until this night, has never taken the kids). Despite everything, the family appears to have a fun time on the Drive-In's closing night. Memorable moments include Bob "learning" how social media and websites like Kickstarter work and his flashbacks to meeting Ramona (Paulina Alexis) who I half-expected to show up with her own family before the end of the episode.
