WhenThe Bearfirst premiered last summer, it was the little show that could.
(Just askTed Lasso.)
How, as a creator, do you capture lighting in a bottle more than once?
And can you keep something fresh and new on a second go-around?
The Bears second-seasonpremiere certainly makes it seem possible.
Theres quibbling over how much the whole remodel is going to cost $80k?
$108k, with the drywall quote from Richies brother-in-law?
While the group is figuring all this out, Richie is down in the basement moping.
A good question, Richie!
Beef buildinggo for between $300,000$450,000, lets assume it would be substantial.
He bites, and the Beef gang is now even more entrenched with the semi-sketchy Cicero.
(Couldnt they have asked a bank, you ask?
What about a notable and legitimate Chicago restaurant group, likeBoka,16 On Center, orOne Off Hospitality?
Well, sure, but what fun would that be?
This is a TV show, after all.)
Were left to wonder who it is (His mom?
Did Fak always have a cool, messy rattail braid?

Does anyone know what book Richie is reading?
Google is letting me down.
Wilco sync count this episode: at least one cut, Handshake Drugs, off 2004sA Ghost Is Born.
The Beefs crawl space has an alarm on it for some reason (foreshadowing?

Also, the alarm password is gofastboatsmojito, for some reason.
Could that bewho Bob Odenkirk is playing later this season?
Sydney asks Tina to train to be her sous-chef, which Tina seems absolutely ecstatic about.
Its very sweet, and Liza Colon-Zayas is a joy to watch.
Hopefully she gets a little more shine this season.
