the thermostat probably went bad try to change it or take it out and see if it that helps.

Your cooling fan is not engaging turning on perhaps checking the wires to the fan and making sure power is getting to it. May be the fan clutch or whole fan itself, possibly a thermostat or water pump check all of it

What would make 94 apv Chev constantly start to overheat in stop and go driving but run cool on highway?
If it has a thermo(electric) radiater fan, check that it is working, by connecting it directly to the battery, and if it works, it's probably not switching on when the temperature rises, so the thermo switch will be faulty.

Why would nothing happen if a bulb blew up in a parallel circuit?
The total current in the circuit would be reduced by the amount of current that was supplying the bulb. No other bulbs in the circuit would be affected. The comparison is driving on a highway. If you are driving on a two lane highway and the car in front of you slows down, you must slow down. If you are driving on a four lane highway you may drive beside (parallel) to the car, so if that car slowed down you would not be affected.

Why would a Subaru Outback overheat?
You are not giving enough information to get a reasonable answer. It's like asking why it won't start. Any, and I mean any, detail would help. Are we talking about the engine cooling system? What are the symptoms that bring you to the conclusion it is overheating? Have you checked the coolant level? What year and size engine? Does it overheat only when stressing the engine, like climbing hills? Does it overheat only in traffic and okay on the highway? Does it overheat when the car is idling? Has the head gasket ever been replaced?
