I like Branson.

This was an interesting episode to say the least. It was funny, but the writing was better. I thought that the show did a nice job with the storyline as well. Having Hank and the group travel to Branson was a fresh sight. I found them playing together was also very entertaining. Whenever Hank and the rest of them are together, it usually makes for a good showing. I thought Connie was particularly good in this show. She was the main focus and I found it refreshing to see someone else be the story front for once. Overall, I say this was a solid episode. Thank you.moreless

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- The episode title alludes to the famous idiom The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence which implies that even a person, like child prodigy Connie, who seems to have the best of everything in their life will envy something in the life of a simpler neighbor like Hank.
