[1] Tina does not make the cut on the guestlist for Tammy's Bat Mitzvah, but gets to attend as part of the catering staff when Bob and the family are hired for the event, where she is still excited about the prospect of scoping out the boys from other schools who will be there.
Louise helps her realize that she's been a "terrible Bat-zilla" and eventually reveals the headset is unclogged, but demands that Tammy invite Tina to all her future parties.
Tammy and Louise manage to break through the bottom of the replica just as Tina leads the ladies' choice dance with the most popular boy at the party.
Club gave the episode a A−, saying "It's one of those episodes where the events, while funny, pale in comparison to the wonderful little character moments: Louise showing how much she cares about her sister but not going totally soft (she is mostly indifferent to Tammy's upset cries); Tina understanding her selfish and obsessive actions; the entire family continuing to accept whatever silly traits the rest of them have.
This made it the fourth most watched show on Animation Domination that night, losing to American Dad!, The Simpsons, and Family Guy with 4.62 million.
[4] "Mazel-Tina" was submitted for consideration for the Outstanding Animated Program at the 66th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, and was one of the five nominees.
