10/10
The darkest day of the year is always a scary thing for Alaska.

I wish I could sleep for 2 nights in a row like Beef. I would feel very re-energized and sleep through all the danger everyone else is facing. Even though I have only known The Great North for 8 months, this is their funniest episode yet. I felt the same way about the Close Enough episode Man Up after I watched it when that show turned 8 months old. It was very funny when Beef Tobin was taking a long rest break from all his usual household chores, and his dreams were heightened versions of those tasks, so he literally did them in his sleep! I was also really invested in Judy and Ham's horror mystery where they were afraid that the school was turning them into lumber zombies. Wolf and Honeybee eating shrimp to win a new shrimp T-shirt for Beef, I found that plot to be the least interesting of this episode. Something I noticed about the early two seasons of The Great North is that, unlike the early two/three seasons of Bob's Burgers and Central Park, stories taking place at the school have to carry too many recurring characters with dialogue in a single episode. I have to keep track of as many kids in The Great North as I have in Craig of the Creek, and The Great North's kids are harder to tell apart because they have less unique outfits and appearances, but they all show some distinct personality traits for the one minute they have on screen. Fortunately, Fox has been kind enough to Bob's Burgers to let it be the 5th animated series they kept on the air for 10+ years, so I believe Duncanville and The Great North have the same potential in character mileage to stay fresh for a whole decade. I am beginning to like The Great North a lot more than Bob's Burgers, but still less than Central Park.
