“Love Birds” & “Rocket Men” - Dual Episode Review
Now we’re up to the next set of new episodes starting with only the second episode in the series centered around the main Loud family pets (after the season 2 episode “Pets Peeved”) called “Love Birds”. How did the attempt to find Walt a love connection fare? Let’s take a look..
Love how cute Walt looks when he’s looking at the Flamingo and it was sweet how Charles, Cliff and Geo helped him look his best to try and make a good impression. Felt bad for him when he found out his ‘love’ was a just Mr. Grouse’s plastic flamingo..poor embarrassed and heartbroken Walt!
Got a good laugh at Lana being able to read the sign on Walt’s birdhouse..apparently she can read ‘canary’..hehe. Loved seeing the other pets try to find a new bird girlfriend for Walt, striking out with a Hummingbird that was hanging out with Lola (due to the little bird probably being too fast for him), a mourning dove that was helping Lucy (who’s song might make him too sad), an owl playing chess with Lisa (because the owl’s ability to turn her head all the way around might gross him out) and eagle who tries to swoop down on the trio before finding a beautiful female duck talking to some frogs at Tall Timbers Pond. Loved the imagine spots with each of the potential suitors..especially the last with them seeing wedding bells with Walt and the duck.
Got another laugh at Walt looking all disheveled after emerging from his birdhouse and with how the other three pets ‘cleaned’ him up.
Was sweet watching Walt hit it off with the girl duck (while eating Lynn Sr.’s lasagna). Was so sad to see when she announced she had to go fly south for the winter with her family and Walk’s sad reaction..but the other pets have a plan.
Was funny seeing each of the reactions to the missing items (Lana missing her sand, Lynn Sr.’s wave machine, Lincoln missing three of his polo shirts..( with Lana using one to change the oil in vanzilla,,hehe), Lisa’s heat lamp for her crocodile eggs (which she quickly hides again),Lola with the Lemonde Mr. Grouse’s flower leaves and Leni looking for the beach umbrella (only for Lincoln to point out it’s fall..hehe)) and it was sweet for Charles and the others to get the duck to stay (with her parent’s blessing) with the special ‘Florida’ vacation setting in his doghouse.
Was sad to see the duck girl miss her family and still have to leave..and it was sweet to see the other pets push Walt into joining her in Florida. Was so cute seeing them snuggle on the beach..now it was Walt’s turn to miss his friends..aww.
Just loved the sweet reunion with Walt coming back to Charles, Cliff and Geo..not to mention the postcard that the duck girl sent, saying (in duck which Lana can read too..hehe) how she can’t wait to see him in the spring..aww!
This was such a sweet, adorable and creative episode. Loved the pet’s interactions with each other and how they communicated with each other. I thought the use of perspective (with how they never showed the Louds and Mr. Grouse’s faces throughout the episode) was very clever. Overall a very enjoyable episode..hopefully we’ll see more episodes like this in the future

Next up is “Rocket Men”.. how did Lincoln and Clyde’s adventure at Space Camp fare? Let’s take a look..
Was funny seeing Lincoln and Clyde’s reactions to the camp commercial (those big starry eyes..hehe. Was great seeing Lincoln’s blue suit again and was nice seeing both Lynn Sr. and Rita as well as both Harold & Howard McBride in a more expanded role than the last episode they were in.
Was cute seeing how enthusiastic Lincoln and Clyde were to see the camp for the first time and seeing how excited the counselor was to see them. Was funny seeing their misadventures the first day..was clear they were in way over their heads.
Could really feel for them when they wanted to go home that night while the parents suggested they try and find something they might like the next day.
Got a good laugh at them trying to escape, only to be thwarted each time..hehe.Was also funny when they stumbled upon the flight simulator..not to mention the ‘bored’ guy watching the computer and starting it up.
Liked seeing Lincoln and Clyde work together to inadvertently pass the simulator by working together. Was great to see them be excited after all.
The ending was sweet with the boys telling their parents they wanted to stay after all and the parents agreeing..with Lynn Sr. mentioning a pancake place on the way home for the parents to go to..hehe
This was a decent episode overall. There were a lot of funny moments and some sweet ones as well but I wish there coulda been a little more to this one. Feel like it was better suited as a longer episode.
Rating: 79 / 100
