I don't have the same hate on for Barrel Bear as I do for certain facets of Totem Mole.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I give Safety Canary and Totem Mole points for having points (although there wasn't much room to see a payoff for Totem Mole). I hate 2 things about Safety Canary -- about everyone getting it on, and casting two actors who look like birds. I hate Totem Mole for not being meta enough to play with the cliché.
I'm not sure who was in Barrell Bear. But I think the main reason I hate it is that there are only thirteen episodes, and one of them has no point? We don't have enough time for that!

Barrell Bear's point was that sometimes you have to sell your soul to escape and is that worth it?
And, by the no point criteria, then is Wound Up Penguin better or worse than Safety Canary/Totem Mole.

What did happen to the girlfriend of Sharon?
Maybe Sharon found about her little moment with the ex-husband and had her deported?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
When, post-kiss, did he ask her for more than an explanation of her feelings?
The Canary kiss?

HA! Sharon WOULD totally use her powers for evil.

I'm trying to remember this properly -- but it was after she'd started behaving relationship-erratically, wasn't it?
I mean, I saw him doing a lot of passive-aggressive framing, but essentially of "So, what are you thinking? What did that just mean? I'm pretty sure I know ... or do I?"
I'm not saying I wouldn't have killed him, but I also think Jaye was undatable too.

We're all fate's bitch. You might as well go ahead and bend over for destiny now.
I thought "Barrel Bear" was going to be the next-to-last 'sode, right after "Totem Mole." And have you seen/read "Barrel Bear?"

Then why is it that I so wanted them to date and was pissed that he remarried Heidi-Ho?

I've seen Barrel Bear and the finale. There is no way that it could have gone, continuity wise, into that spot. None at all.
