Bland and Confusing
Hitchcoc24 April 2023
Another uninspired script. Howard Borden is a navigator for a major airline which is the reason he is divorced. He has his son four days a month and feels the need to impress him when they are together. The kid is nice and handles things better than his father. This episode is just not funny. It isn't even that touching. There isn't even much conflict when it comes to Howard. One thing I don't get. The Hartleys are playing hide and seek with the kid. He goes out the entry door and disappears while his father and mother talk. But when they are ready to leave, the kid is covered up in the bedroom.

Odd episode and eerie w/a disappearing Howie Warning: Spoilers
Howie engages in a game of hide-and-seek w/Bob & Emily and while they have their eyes closed he slips out the front door and is never found during the segment while everyone asks where he is etc. Odd and unsettling.
