Bob's Burgers - 1x02 - Crawl Space

    Bob is sent into the attic to plug a leak in the ceiling in preparation for his mother-in-law's visit.  While he's up there, he notices that there's a substantial crawlspace.  He drops down, finding that the space extends around the apartment, and down into the first floor, where the restaurant is.  He decides to stay there for awhile, in an effort to miss his mother-in-law's visit.
    I was glad to see improvement over the first episode.  The characters get developed a bit more, and we're treated to a few really strange sequences.  Both of these are easily my favorites - Tina has a strange fantasy that involves a pair of erotic zombies.  And Bob has an extended dream that has him meeting a human-size version of the glowing doll that he has as a light source, in the context of the bar and bathroom scenes in The Shining.  This is really strange, but very likable.
    It's also a real pleasure to hear H. John Benjamin's voice acting again.  I've been a big fan of Dr. Katz, and it's strange to hear his character being the responsible one.
