Part 2 of Poppy's by the Tree sees the Bundy's trying to avoid being slaughtered by a deranged serial killer who targets tourists staying at a cheap motel in Dumpwater, Florida.
The horror fan in me should really get a kick out of seeing my favourite TV family being attacked by an axe-wielding maniac, but the whole thing is way too farcical, the comedy so broad that it becomes embarrassing (Al and Peg avoiding the murderer's axe blows is particularly cringe-worthy). I know that the holiday themed episodes have their fans, but this one really didn't do it for me.
