This show is amazing and so wise beyond its first look. Certainly some of the best voice work and character development But one that that stuck with me and I use to THIS DAY, as a LEGIT 'mediation/discussion/conflict resolve' process- There is the episode (S02E06) where Brendan goes with his Dad and Dad's GF Linda to therapy. And they are shown 'Gentle Talk' about how to soften and better express your need and not use hard words expressions by saying " I think you SHOULD...." And to say: "I think it would be in your best interest, to...." Its simultaneously laughable (in the form shown on the episode with the nebbish but pushy therapist) and so trite, and its basically 'I feel' statements modified, and within a silly show, but it's actually been incredibly useful, over many yrs, in this or slight modified forms, as a pattern of 'expectation management', that is effective in telling others what you need/want/have to say For those wanting it in action- with chopped up scenes for some example and context, link to things , didnt wanna upload all the whole episode of my own copy. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS-UYA6cz1U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS-UYA6cz1U) Ever since Dr Katz, the whole process of shows that evolved, with Loren Bouchard helming , through to Bobs Burgers has been awesome. But home movies has something in that really was a high watermark of story telling.
