Overview (Spoilers Below):

Ay Fidelity

Bobby and Par must resist the shop’s treasures.

Cut the Chisme

The family tries to stop Hector from gossiping.

Our Take:

The humor in the first episode consists of Bobby and Par watching Ziggy’s record shop while he’s away to get a Mick Swagger record. Unfortunately, it’s easier said than done when the customers don’t appreciate the shop’s musical treasures, so they close up early. They then must resist touching the merchandise themselves but quickly fail to do so when they discover Ziggy’s secret guitar closet. Bobby and Par attempt to fix the shop before Ziggy returns but notice that Ziggy’s first guitar is missing. It’s later revealed that his first guitar is an air guitar. Ziggy appreciates the boys’ honesty about what happened and allows them to get what they want for free.

The second episode has Hector being obsessed with telling everyone people’s secrets, forcing Ronnie Anne and the kids to get him to stop gossiping. Unfortunately, this didn’t go as planned when Hector accidentally blurts out that Bruno has two belly buttons. So they took him to a hypnotist who hypnotizes Hector to itch every time he’s about to gossip, which didn’t help either. Most of the humor consists of the kids’ attempts to prevent Hector from telling Bruno’s secret, including Sergio spraying water at him, and Hector itching himself whenever he tries to tell people about what he saw. However, after Hector fails to warn people about Rosa’s sleep mask and the truck driver’s bump-and-run, the family realizes how reliable his gossiping can be.

Overall, both episodes have enough moments in their plots to warrant a gossip or two. “Ay Fidelity” is a fun Bobby-centered episode with him and Par resisting temptation from the record store’s merchandise. “Cut the Chisme” is a good episode that sees the family exploring the pros and cons of Hector’s gossiping skills with humorous results, even though its plot wasn’t perfect for getting its message across.
