Season 2 - Episode 6
Fox (US)
"Jimmy and the Kid" is a strange episode of Raising Hope. The a-story is sweet, in an almost creepy way, and has some funny moments, but the rest of the episode fell a bit flat in a way that doesn't usually happen.
Barney's ex-wife's son begins helping out at the grocery store and instantly takes a shine to Sabrina. Jimmy decides to set him up with a girl more his own age in order to stop him from telling Sabrina his secret - that, of course he is deeply in love with her. This leads to Jimmy getting into some highly funny and inappropriate situations. The ending of the episode was also really sweet, and gave us hope for the Jimmy/Sabrina relationship going forward.
Elsewhere though, there wasn't much to note. Burt and Virginia were relegated to fighting over who had to fish threw MawMaw's poo to retrieve a swallowed gold tooth, and there was a little side with Barney and his ex-wife, but that was all.
Raising Hope is usually better than this, with only the a-story having any substance. But I'll put it down to a blip and look forward to next week.
