So while “A Bird in the Head Hurts” isn’t nearly as good as last week’s installment, the quality of the jokes in the second half is ultimately able to overcome a first half defined by whining, lousy parenting, and general boredom. (Although that first half does have the one terrific scene of Sally, Buddy, and Rob being given the wrong sandwich order. Though once again, they then promptly disappear for the rest of the episode) Not one of the show’s finest moments, but many sitcoms—both then and now—would be happy if their slightly lesser episodes were even close to this level.
