User blog:AustinDR/Review: Kick the Bucket

Now, I really liked this episode. In it, Lincoln and Clyde try to do everything on their list on the last day of Spring Break. Naturally, hilarity ensues. One factor of the episode that I liked is how it taught that you shouldn't try to rush things, unless you miss out, much like how "Raw Deal" also taught. Besides that, the episode was really funny. There were several moments that I liked such as Lincoln and Clyde getting dyed orange after their plan to swim in a pool of gelatin failed, or how they tried to pet a cockatoo when they learned that the puppies were getting bathed. However, as much as I loved this episode, the only thing I disliked in it were the sisters. Now, I must reiterate that I do not hate any one of them. My problem was that they contributed nothing to the episode. They didn't really make anything worse for the two boys even. Okay, there was that one point where Lynn eats half of the sandwich meant for Lincoln and Clyde - and then belching in his face - but it's Lynn. This was like the reversal of "Patching Things Up" wherein Lincoln had no point in that episode. Really, if you took the sisters out of the episode, nothing would change. That is how pointless they are. I just hate it when shows do that; have a character in it when their only purpose is a quick joke that has nothing to do with the episode. Also, the cockatoo showing up at the end didn't make too much sense. Though it did remind me of that one episode of American Dad with Steve and that cat. Overall, wasn't offended by that, I just found that the cockatoo served no purpose either.

Another great episode to start the week with.

Final score: 3 1/2 stars out of 5
