To Counteract the Super Negative Review
Not the best Bob's Burgers episode, but it's still enjoyable. This episode aired out of production order (produced third, aired tenth). We get a proper introduction to Mr. Fischoeder, the Pestos, and Trev in this episode despite meeting them earlier.
Several laugh-out-loud moments: "Let's move him outside", Bob looking out the telescope, Tina's dancing during their brainstorm, and more. It isn't the most quotable, but Jimmy Jr.'s slow dancing cafeteria scene did become a popular meme, showing the show's relatability.
Being season 1, the episode is a bit rough. They were still finding themselves, so you can see a clear difference when you compare it to season 4/5 and later.

TOO F[...]ING SLOW AND TEDIOUS
HOLY S[...]T THIS EPISODE OF BOB'S BURGERS IS INCREDIBLY TEDIOUS AND REALLY HARD TO WATCH THROUGH THE WHOLE 20 MINUTES IN ONE SITTING WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEED UP THE VIDEO.
In all honestly, I just cannot understand how some people are able to get through the whole episode without feeling bored. I felt so bored I almost fell asleep twice (yeah, IN A 20 MINUTE TIME FRAME!) not to mention I just find this episode incredibly boring and uninspiring.
Update (18 August 2021) - It's not just this episode of Bob's Burgers though. The American Dad episode The Long Bomb had pretty much the exact same issue (and as such I also subsequently gave it 1 star). It just feels way too darn long for it to be considered normal in a 20 minute show. I'm not biased against just this episode of Bob's Burgers, there are episodes of other shows that also have the same issue.
