Cheese A Go-Go

[Starsky]

The May 4 episode will be the beginning of the Cartoon Network Invaded plotline thingy:

Friday, May 4, at 7 p.m.: Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends: “Cheese A Go-Go”
After seeing an alien movie and reading a tabloid about an alien who somewhat resembles Cheese, Bloo becomes convinced that Cheese is a brain sucking alien. Bloo sends out a message to deep space and essentially invites the aliens to Earth.

Here's (http://www.turnerinfo.com/newsitem.aspx?P=CARTOON&CID01=9bda11cd-4589-452e-95ce-f71a7afc8679) the news.

[Ditchy McAbandonpants]

Woohoo, yeah!! :D Ladies and gents, we have a synopsis!! Awesome find, Starsky!

Looking at the press release, it seems like they're having a month full of cheese-and-alien-based episodes. It's...an odd concept for a programming season, but I'm not complaining when it includes the Season Five premiere that we've been waiting for for so darn long. :bloocross:

As for the episode itself, it sounds like we're in for a Bloo-Cheese extravaganza. :cheesegrin::bloosmirk: It's an understandable move, I think; the show's been away for five months, so a season premiere centred around two of the series's most popular and attention-grabbing characters is a good way to get people to take notice again. I like the sound of Bloo's role in this one; it just sounds very...Bloo. :bloocross: I'm not the hugest fan of Cheese, all told; he has his moments, but he's a character they need to handle carefully, because if you focus in too much on a dumb character, chances are you'll end up with a dumb show, and that's not what Foster's is. I don't think he's been overused yet, and I don't think that this episode will tip him over the edge either, but so far they've had him in the show once or twice per season, and that's how it should stay.

Anyway, those concerns can wait; for now, I'm just revelling in the fact that I'll be watching a brand new Foster's episode just under three weeks. Happy days!! :bloogrin:

[Voxxyn]

That sounds like it will be a fun episode, and it definitely makes sense to focus on the two most mainstream-popular characters. I hope this will shine through as a legitimate episode with quality writing and characterization, and won't just seem like a hoaky attempt to get big ratings and sell merchandise.

[Cassini90125]

I am honestly not sure I like this idea. I certainly have no objection to storylines involving extraterrestrials per see, but somehow it doesn't feel right for the show. :macwor:

[montitech]

Aliens in Fosters I think would be fine, provided they are just part of an isolated plot. BFAHP had the alien in one of the mini-games. and bloo frequently talks about aliens, so it would be fun, remember it is a cartoon, and NOT live action sitcom. so aliens would not be that bad.
a good example is Scooby doo,Tom and Jerry, Sesame Street and Buggs bunny sometimes have aliens, but having the aliens in isolated eppisodes does not derail the series. in contrast if aliens were injected into shows like ER, or CSI that would just not work.

Cassini90125, I do respect your opinion and I actually feel that way about some cartoons like Totally Spies have aliens.

Just my 2c
MOnty :-/

[Ditchy McAbandonpants]

Hmmm...actually, I wasn't particularly considering the alien angle to start with, but now that I think about it, I wonder how direct they're actually going to be with the extra-terrestrial content. I mean, I know that the press release seems to suggest that the episode is going to basically feature an alien invasion, but I've started to take their press releases with a bit of salt, because they have a tendency to overplay and misconstrue things at times. I just wonder is the aliens might not turn out to be Imaginary Friends when we see the actual episode, or some other spin on the idea...

Of course, then there's the possibility that the episode will just feature aliens. In that case, that...would be a departure, yes, and a risk. I'm also unsure as to how that would sit with the Foster's universe, but based on the end of Season Four, Good Wilt Hunting, and the positive noises Lauren was making about Season Five, I'm willing to withhold any judgement until I saw the episode in question...

[pitbulllady]

Y'all realize that this is gonna vindicate Bloo with his "Galactic Warlord" and "zombie" theories, right? Just thought I'd toss that out there...

pitbulllady

[Voxxyn]

It doesn't say it'll be an actual crossover between shows, but a string of new episodes from different shows sharing an "alien invasion" storyline... though it seems that the invasions on the other shows is chronologically linked to the events of the Foster's episode. Though that doesn't necessarily mean we'll see the Foster's characters on the other shows.

Cartoon Network obviously created this 'major event' to spark interest in viewers and expand the popularity of the shows, without any regard to it's plausibility in the Foster's universe. I'm fine with that as long as it doesn't negatively affect the show's quality. I really don't want to see Foster's superb writing and endearing characters dumbed down to fit in with the irritating juvenility and stupidity of CN's current public image.

And I'm wondering: will there be other new Foster's episodes throughout May... or are we only getting one new episode because of the invasion event, meaning that we'll have to wait even more for the rest of the season?

[Nathander]

Personally, I think it sounds like a fun premise and possibly fun episode. The only thing that really makes me skeptical is my own....distaste for Cheese. While I don't despise the character, I think he gets far too much air time already. However, I can say that I have wanted to see more interaction between him and Bloo, and so I'm actually somewhat optimistic about that.

Let's hope my optimism punches out my cynicism on this one. :bloosmirk:

[One Radical Dude]

I'd wait and see what the episode brings, before I think of this being a promising episode or a disappointing one. I can say is that it's definitely something different. Anyway, I'd rather see a bit more Cheese than more Goo.

[jekylljuice]

So these aliens are genuine? Naturally, we're used to seeing all sorts of strange and far-out beings in the Foster's universe, but from the outset it might be slightly harder to accept the presence of outlandish creatures who aren't actually IFs (if not put in context with the rest of this CN "alien invasion", I'd probably have assumed that these so-called aliens would actually turn out to be imaginary friends themselves - if not an outright hoax or false alarm - but I suppose they have played that particular card enough times already - Who Let the Dogs In, Land of the Flea, etc - so it would be nice if they had something more surprising up their sleeves).

That said, I have always wanted them to do an episode dealing with some form of the paranormal (the closest they've previously come was with that brief seance segment of Infernal Slumbers), though I would have readily expected their supernatural suspicions to prove groundless, as they did in IS. It's kind of hard to explain why it'll feel so odd, particularly for a TV series in which figments of the imagination are instantly transformed into living, breathing, sentient beings. Perhaps it's something to do with the strong emphasis it places upon imagination in providing escapism from the mundanity and problems of the everyday world - the notion of such anomalies existing independently from that might seem a tad disconcerting. Hmm, maybe that's not it...well, I guess I don't really know. :-/

But, strange or not, I'm all ready to welcome this episode with an open mind and arms. Wonderful to have new Foster's on the way...let the good times roll! :D

I'm personally the opposite on the Cheese and Goo matter, really, but that's a different discussion. I agree that it sounds different, and like you said, that could be a blessing or a curse. I'm hoping it's a blessing, seeing as how I think the term "different" itself pretty much describes Foster's.

But, strange or not, I'm all ready to welcome this episode with an open mind and arms. Wonderful to have new Foster's on the way...let the good times roll!

I can agree with that. Any new episode of Foster's is better than no new episodes of Foster's (heaven forbid).

["C" the Dragon]

All right! A new episode! I hope Wilt is also included!:D

[taranchula]

Excellent news, but based on past instances I won't make any speculations on this episode based on the info that was given. I'll just sit back and enjoy it as it happens.

So expect to hear back from me on this topic once I gaze upon this 22 minuet spectacle. :up:

(BTW kudos to the writers for their awesome choice of episode title, which I am pretty sure is a reference to the 1965 sci-fi b-movie anti classic "Monster A Go-Go")

[Invader Bloo]

This sounds like a promising episode. YAY! Bloo is now like Dib!:bloocross:

[montitech]

(BTW kudos to the writers for their awesome choice of episode title, which I am pretty sure is a reference to the 1965 sci-fi b-movie anti classic "Monster A Go-Go")

I missed that one, was it good, What was it like? triheaded Swamp monsters, or Big cheesey see the zipper monster suit?

Monty:-/

[emperor26]

Interesting episode.

Can't wait to see the outcome of it as well. :D

[Crash-N-Cortex]

I hope to see this episode when it airs. I can't wait to see what will happen is the episode itself. Hopefully, it will one of these episodes that will interest me..

[Ditchy McAbandonpants]

And I'm wondering: will there be other new Foster's episodes throughout May... or are we only getting one new episode because of the invasion event, meaning that we'll have to wait even more for the rest of the season?

From the message Lauren Faust posted in the "New Episodes" thread:

We have a few new episodes finished that haven't aired yet, but the folks in programming like to horde 'em so they can play several premieres in a row. They say that if you air a premiere followed by several repeats, people tune out. So that's one reason for the wait.

So, I shouldn't worry about that. :frankiesmile:

[Invader Bloo]

So this is what those weird alien commercials are about. I thought it was a new show. This is pretty cool, one step closer 'till a real Foster's cross-over.

P.S. This alien thing starts with Foster's then goes to Ed,Edd n'Eddy, My Gym Partner's A Monkey, Camp lazlo & finally Billy & Mandy.

[Sparky]

Oh, *that's* what that commercial was!

I thought maybe CG sold CN a certain show idea. ;)

[Invader Bloo]

I had a horrible/stupid theory that Nick finally sold Zim to CN & they replaced all the voice actors. :eek:

[fosters home fan]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!



...anyways, I beleive this episode's going to turn out good.:bloocross:

[taranchula]

I missed that one, was it good, What was it like? triheaded Swamp monsters, or Big cheesey see the zipper monster suit?

Monty:-/




Rubber suit, Oh if only we were that lucky. The "monster" in question was just some really tall guy with what looked like oatmeal glued to his face.

And this film had the distinction of having one of the worst tag lines in movie history... "The picture that comes complete with a 10-foot-tall monster to give you the wim-wams!"

For futher information I'll let IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059464/) take it from here

[antgirl1]

...I wonder if anyone gets abducted. :D

Plus, maybe we can see the characters' views on life outside our solar system. I know Mac and Herriman probably wouldn't be the type of person/imaginary to believe it, but what about the rest of the characters? XD

[montitech]

It is a good thing Bloo is an expert at blasting Aliens

Monty :-/

[Voxxyn]

Frankie has a telescope in her room(seen briefly at the end of "Bus the Two of Us")... will that come into play?

[bloonuggets]

And I've posted the episode description on tv.com and Wikipedia for all to see!

And of course, this arc opens up the prelude to CN Summer 2007 with the all-day Alien Invasion on Memorial Day (May 28 in the USA).

[LaBloo]

Yeah. I Heard It Somewhere..

[bloonuggets]

Yeah, LaBloo. Where'd you hear about it?

[CG]

Oh, *that's* what that commercial was!

I thought maybe CG sold CN a certain show idea. ;)

Huh? Aliens? Me? CN? I wish! But huh??

[bloonuggets]

Now, based on the premise of this episode, what is the one thing that ties all of the CN Alien Invasion theme thingie together?

[YuckieDuck]

Now, based on the premise of this episode, what is the one thing that ties all of the CN Alien Invasion theme thingie together?

All of the shows have an episode with aliens. So after Bloo invites the aliens, they appear on episodes of other shows. I don't know if the aliens will look the same in every show.

[bloonuggets]

That's not the only thing, YuckieDuck. What's the other thing?

Look again at the title. What's the one thing that ties the promotion together?

[Sparky]

...Why are you acting like a third-grade teacher? :terrconf: If you have a point I think you should just state it.

[CG]

Hee hee, nicely said Sparky. It's too early and I feel too bad for quizzes. I fail! D=

[Voxxyn]

In response to bloonuggets -- the aliens will resemble Cheese? The tabloid that Bloo reads is apparently about a Cheese-like alien, and the episode summaries for Camp Lazlo and Billy & Mandy make references to the word 'cheese'.

If that's the case... does that mean that they will behave like Cheese? Does this mean CN will go so far in their infatuation of Cheese as to drag all the other shows into it? :wiltshock:

[CG]

Oh man, oh man. I... I hope not. Too much Cheese is.... well. Too much Cheese. I know the Cheese fans will totally love this whole thing but those of us who can't stand him?

Weep.

But I'll still watch it, either way.

[bloonuggets]

"In response to bloonuggets -- the aliens will resemble Cheese? The tabloid that Bloo reads is apparently about a Cheese-like alien, and the episode summaries for Camp Lazlo and Billy & Mandy make references to the word 'cheese'.

Well, you're RIGHT!

All of them will involve Cheese. Not the character Cheese, cheese.

AAAaAaAaa! If that happens, CN's officially turned crappy! As in 2200% crap!

One episode of Cheese was enough. Let's hope that this "Cheese appearing in other shows" thing doesn't happen.:o

[kageri]

The concept of an invasion by aliens that don't turn out to be IFs is so un-Foster's-ish I don't even know where to begin. They'll probably end up making it awesome and proving me wrong, as they are wont to do, but.... why, exactly, does Foster's need aliens? They've got IFs, so what's the point? I just.... I dunno.

[Cassini90125]

Unfortunately, I think the point is marketing and ratings. :(

[fosters home fan]

oh, yeaah how could I forget ::) ? The marketing range is the 6-11 group and Cheese'll bring in ratings with the target audience. AKA the main amount of viewers that CN cares about.

[One Radical Dude]

You guys need to quit worrying, and just wait and see what happens. If this episode isn't your cup of tea, so what? Not all episodes have to be winners. :P

[CG]

I'm not immensely worried, oh no. After all, Goo has somewhat grown on me after that last episode of the last season. But still, Cheese is Cheese. And he's just... well not my cup of tea.

But the rest of Fosters is so I'm not going to judge too harshly at all. I'm going to sit back, and wait to see just what they have in store for us.

[fosters home fan]

You guys need to quit worrying, and just wait and see what happens. If this episode isn't your cup of tea, so what? Not all episodes have to be winners. :P

I'm not trying to worry, I just want to see the new season get off to a good start is all:P


And like ORD said, not every last episode needs to be "10102222222% super de duper perfection" ya know. Besides, now that I think of it, the idea sounds kinda funny actually,I mean yeah, Cheese isn't my cup of tea, but hey, did I say "every episode with him in it sucks badly"? no.

[antgirl1]

Yeah, let's not assume that it's gonna be bad until we actually give it a chance and see it. :D

[Blooregard 2.0]

I just saw a commercial during the Pokemon D/P premire & it show Mac reading a newspaper that has a Cheese like alien on it, & Bloo is running trying to get Cheese. Its not a Fosters commercial, its one that starts with one of those alien promos that CN has been doing lately.

[Bloo2daMacs]

This episode sounds... interesting. Although the plot line does sound.... Interesting... I'm sure it will be a great episode.

I do like the idea of Bloo somehow contacting an alien race, because... it just seeme like something that BLOO would do.

[Invader Bloo]

If Cheese is the only character getting cross-overed I'll be mad. I want to see Clam with Billy or Wilt with Edd.

[k0ugs]

All of them will involve Cheese. Not the character Cheese, cheese.

Everyone seems to be missing this statement. So to reiterate, cheese from a cow, not cheese from Louise.

[Invader Bloo]

But Cheese will be prominent in the episode by the sounds of it.

[montitech]

In the commersial I saw today,
It looked like cheese on the front page of the paper,
THis can be taken in different ways,

I would guess that the media is mistaken cheese as an alian.
because we all know how the media can make mistakes and pass it off as fact.


Monty :-/

[bloonuggets]

Yes, cheese the dairy product will be a central part of all the alien episodes.

It's just Cheese the character will be involved in the Foster's show.

BTW, did I tell you the show has already aired Down Under. I just told a contributor at tv.com that we do not post trivia, quotes, etc until the episode has aired in the USA after the original airing of that episode.

hmm that means i might be able to find it online... ill keep u all posted

[One Radical Dude]

Here's a Alien Invasion promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFjKAl0sblc).

There's not a whole lot to say about it, really. It could be awesome (or not, depending on how ya look at things).

[Invader Bloo]

Cool. One thing will they air more episodes of Foster's through out the month?

[CG]

It aired in Australia? ...well snap! I really DO wish I had foxtel now!

[Voxxyn]

I PMed frankie_fan, who is from Australia, to check if the episode had aired there. He checked the AU Cartoon Network schedule and said that he didn't find it at all.

So, unless any other Australian forum members step in and state otherwise(without giving any spoilers, of course), I'm going to assume that bloonuggets' statement is false.

[kageri]

If Cheese is the only character getting cross-overed I'll be mad. I want to see Clam with Billy or Wilt with Edd.

They're not actually doing a crossover, they're just airing a bunch of new episdoes from different shows that follow the same theme.

[Voxxyn]

I'm still wondering whether or not we'll get any other new Foster's episodes for May. Lauren said that CN likes having multiple premieres together to maintain viewers, so that would indicate we will... but I'd expect we'd have episode summaries by now. :wiltshock:

[Mulch]

There's a whole clip from the episode on CN.com!

http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/specials/cn_invaded/

I wonder what's wrong with Ed...:-/

[Cassini90125]

Looks interesting. Might be a better episode than I thought. I guess we'll find out soon enough. :)

[taranchula]

I wonder what's wrong with Ed...:-/

From the looks of things in that clip, Eduardo had one of his teeth pulled and is still feeling the effects of the funny gas.

BTW I also like the minor throwback to One False Movie on the cover of the magazine Bloo was reading. (The werewolf on the cover looks like the werewolf Wilt transformed into in Bloo's movie.)

[Mulch]

It's so obvious now that you mentioned it...

[antgirl1]

"Were-wolf Visits London"? LOL. Yeah right. Maybe that'd explains why/if Wilt was suddenly missing or something. XDD

Bloo's SO reading one of those paranormal magazines. :D

Ed looks like he's - forget funny gas - drunk, he's not making any sense. But, other than maybe it could've been knocked out of his jaw, WHY would his tooth be gone like that? XDD

I wonder how Coco could be weird, since she is so unpredictable.

[emperor26]

Looks interesting. Might be a better episode than I thought. I guess we'll find out soon enough. :)

I agree, Cassini90125, this episode does look better.

[CG]

I was so stoaked I made icons. Available here! (http://www.fosters-home.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1853)

And am I the only one who thinks it, but does the animation look a bit cleaner to you? It does to me...

[One Radical Dude]

Yeah, things do look cleaner (or well, it does from there, anyway). Either way, I expect nothing but awesomesauce! :)

[kageri]

That preview makes me love Tom Kenny as a voice actor even more.

[CG]

You too kageri?

Yeah, Ed's pretty much still high as a kite in that clip-he sounds like he's in one of those old "Cheech and Chong" movies!

[Kale]

This is starting to look like an awesome episode =D

How long do you reckon it'll take before someone puts in on Youtube/ up for download, because England's about 2-3 months behind the USA and I can't wait that long!

[Imaginary Light]

Okay, I seriously cannot wait for this episode. That preview was hilarious8D

[Carlaz]

Looks interesting. Might be a better episode than I thought. I guess we'll find out soon enough. :)


Can't wait!:D

[Ub3rD4n]

Looks pretty good, and hey, whatever's Fosters works for me. The whole thing is likely to just be a hoax, but the way they marketed it must be effective if it's got everyone (self included) guessing.

And I'm pretty sure that if some idiot is gonna invite aliens to doom Cartoon Network, it's gonna be Bloo.

[lucyrocks73]

Ugh. Cheese. I'm not a Cheese fan, but I'm too excited for the new season to start to care.

Sorry if it doesn't work for ya.

[Invader Bloo]

22 hours left!! I really hope this is a good season opener.:cheese:

[Rinny562]

I can't stop laughing at Eduardo on the laughing gas XD!!!!!!!!!!!

[Invader Bloo]

Me too. I'm glad Frankie has a good size role.:frankiesmile:

Edit: OMG! Fred Fredburger appeared very,very,VERY quickly in the courtroom scene! :D

[Rinny562]

Wilt as a laywer is TOO cute XD

[Ccook50]

Without divulging anything pertinent to you folks on the West Coast, suffice it to say that it sucks to be Frankie Foster in this episode.

[antgirl1]

...And this episode had to do with WHAT? Maybe I misread the plot. If I missed something about this, I missed what this was about, since I didn't see anything that had to do with the "CN invaded" theme...

For once, I was disappointed...

At least, though, there WERE a few good parts...(like Eduardo being all lovey-dovey on anyone, including Wilt) yet, most of this was just random.

If it was called "Foster's Randomness", it'd make A LOT more sense.

The grade? C-.

[emperor26]

Meh, this was an okay episode.

The one thing I did enjoy was Eduardo being high. Other than that, it was a so-so start for season 5.

Hopefully, the next episode on the 18th will put this show back on track.

[Nyo]

It. was. hilarious. I'm not a big Ed fan, but wow!

Him high on laughing gas=love. Also, to be fair to Frankie fans, she goes through some suckage.

[Rinny562]

Cheese disappointed me in this episode :(

But seeing Ed high and his conversation with Frankie and Bloo and the dentist and Wilt on the street....wow XD Good start for Ed

[Pawbah]

I'm on the west coast but I got to see it because I have a satellite dish. :D

Cheese wasn't at his best in this, but I did laugh a lot at Ed. I kind of missed the line, but did he tell Frankie that she smelled like Pineapple? I can't wait for more Foster's episodes. :bloogrin:

[bloonuggets]

So did anyone get the "Werewolves of London" joke on the cover of the tabloid newspaper Blooregard was reading? That was a song made famous by the late Warren Zevon in the 1970's.

[Invader Bloo]

This episode was waaaaay too random. It was OK. Hopefully the rest of season 5 will be as great as S4.

Yet again Frankie goes threw some crap again, mainly at the end.:(
Ed high was the best part of the episode!

[Cuckoo]

I was a bit disappointed in this episode, as Frankie was treated poorly, Coco played only a small role, and the plot made absolutely no sense whatsoever IMO.

However, some scenes were okay. I have to admit that Eduardo on laughing gas was fun, as well as the courtroom scene.

["C" the Dragon]

I think this episode is okay. Poor Frankie, though.:( Ed in high sure is funny!8D And Wilt as a lawyer really IS cute, lol!:D Bloo is just too funny!:bloogrin: And I find the random guy hilarious!:D And Cheese? Eh, his only line is "Gottagogottagogottago", and I just want him say something else, since it's innoying(sp?) me:P

[Cassini90125]

I'll give it an A, or an 8/10, whichever you prefer. Cheese wasn't as annoying as I'd feared, Eduardo tanked up on nerve gas was hilarious, and lots of Frankie. What more could I ask for?

Was it just me, or was there a very brief appearance by Dylan in the theater audience?

One of the funniest moments for me was when Mac grabbed Madam Foster and carted her away; it reminded me so much of one of Kageri's fanart pieces, the one where Bloo is screaming about "I won't tolerate this!" as Mac tries to control him. 8D

It's amazing that Frankie can go through all that she went through, be covered with mud, have her hair completely messed up, and still look beautiful. :frankiesmile:

Nice job, guys! :)

I saw Dylan too! I wanted to smack him.

What was up with that Opossum on Frankie. That actually was kind of creepy looking.

[pitbulllady]

Without divulging anything pertinent to you folks on the West Coast, suffice it to say that it sucks to be Frankie Foster in this episode.

NO KIDDING!

Seriously, I still don't know how to describe this episode. I can't say I hated it, but it was a bit of a disappointment. It really was another one of those "Let's Dump on Frankie" episodes, just as much so as that one with that guy from, you know....that place with the bacon. The thing that bothered me so much, though, was that some of the characters seemed so out-of-character. With Cheese, it's understandable that he'd do something like run around yelling "Gotta Go, Gotta Go" incessently-annoying, yes, but still Cheese. He probably saw a Detrol commercial, and he fixated on it. Everyone just took it the wrong way because they expect Cheese to be normal, and he's clearly not, not for an Imaginary Friend, or a human. Bloo was very much himself, too, especially given his previous obessions with brain-sucking zombies. And, it was REALLY ironic that last night's new episode of "CSI" featured a plotline of these nut-cases who were just as convinced as Bloo that aliens from outer space(reptilian aliens) were colonizing Earth and taking over. The plots were so similar, in that regard, that it's scary.

All of the above is pretty much available through the previews, so I'll put the rest of my comment in spoiler tags for those who have not seen this episode yet.

Like I said, Frankie really catches you-know-what in this episode. She is constantly harrassed by Madame Foster over her cell phone, because we find out that she and Mac are key witnesses in Madame Foster's court trial, in which she is being SUED by Jackie Khones over her alleged theft of a tuna sandwich, which SHE made for herself, and HE claimed by writing his name on it in mustard(no doubt this is a parody of those equally-stupid, but very real, court settlements you hear about on the news)! Now, why Jackie would sue the person who gives him free room and board is beyond me, but there it is. Wilt is her defense attorney. He's reading a book, A Dummy's Guide to Legal Defense, or something like that, while in court. Wilt worried me in this one-not ONCE does he flash that trademark smile of his; for the most part, he looks like his best friend in the whole world has just died. He didn't look this "emo" in Good Wilt Hunting while he was gazing out the window at all those happy Imaginary Friend/creator reunions! He barely spoke two words through the whole episode, and when he did, it was to grovel and apologize to Madame Foster for losing her court case. Seriously, if Wilt isn't on some antidepressant, he sure as heck NEEDS to be, and if he already is, I think they need to increase his dosage, big-time!
Eduardo was the funniest aspect, actually the ONLY funny aspect, of the whole episode. If it weren't for his "Cheech and Chong" stoner schtick, I don't think that I would have laughed once. He really saved it, honestly. Maybe they need to give Wilt some of the same stuff that Ed got at the dentist's office. I did snicker over what now appears to be a running gag on the show-possums-this time being the actual first time a possum has appeared, clinging in terror to Frankie's hood on her jacket, with her so frazzled that she doesn't even know it's there. She has had to stand in line at the post office with an angry mob behind her while her grandmother yelled at her on the phone, demanding collector's stamps that are kept in the back(holding up the line even more), she's had to chase down a frantic Cheese, not knowing why he keeps running around yelling "GOTTA GO!" non-stop, she's had to deal with a wasted 575-pound purple monster, try to locate Bloo in a dark theater(where he's watching a tacky B-movie about brain-sucking aliens), chase down Cheese some more, put up with this intrusive hippy in drag, try to make it to court for her grandmother and deal with HER after being too late, look for Bloo, Ed, and Cheese after Bloo decides that Cheese is an alien leader and tries to get the other aliens to come pick him up, climbs a mountain to a space observatory where Bloo has taken Cheese, falls over the mountain after Cheese, acquires the afore-mentioned possum, finally gets Cheese home to Louise, only to find out that Cheese just does this "GOTTA GO!" thing for no reason at all sometimes. Everyone else but Frankie winds up in jail again-Wilt, Ed, Mac, Bloo, Coco and Jackie. By this time, Ed is sober and horribly upset that his pants fell off again and everyone saw his "tushie", Mac is mad at Bloo, Coco and Jackie are fighting over another sandwich(speaking of aliens, where's Experiment 626?), and Wilt looks like he'd fork over a dollar for someone to shoot him and put him out of his misery. Even "Marvin the Paranoid Android" looks happier than Wilt does, and it almost felt like Wilt's presence was just a sort of token "let's find some way to have Wilt in here". I would have preferred not having him at all in this episode, like in "Frankie My Dear", or just having him do a brief walk-through, like in "My So-Called Wife", to seeing him so depressed.

Again, I didn't hate it, but I still think that out of all the episodes made, this is my least favorite. Sorry Lauren and Craig and the guys, but it was a disappointment, especially after such a long spell of no new episodes. It really felt like y'all were forced to come up with something to fit CN'S "Alien Invasion" plan.

...You're kidding, right?

[fosters home fan]

eh, I didn't like this episode. :\ That's all I have to say about it.

[k0ugs]

this episode was AWESOME! The animation has improved and everyone seemed much more fluid like

[pitbulllady]

...You're kidding, right?

No, I'm NOT kidding. Have you SEEN the episode? Wilt looks thoroughly miserable throughout much of it. You know how he usually acts when someone else is pouring out their problems to him, how he always smiles and talks so reassuringly to them, trying to help them see the bright side of things? Well, when a sobered-up Ed is telling Wilt how awful he feels that people saw him without his pants on(Cheese snatched his belt, and at the time, a stoned Eduardo thought it was funny), Wilt doesn't say a thing. He doesn't even look at Ed, he just sort of slumps over with this really down expression on his face, like he really isn't aware of anything that Eduardo is actually saying, he's so lost in his own miserable universe.

[Ccook50]

I'm surprised someone didn't put Cheese out of his misery. He really got irritating as the half-hour wore on.

Mac's assessment of Bloo at the end was quite apropos.

[pitbulllady]

I'm surprised someone didn't put Cheese out of his misery. He really got irritating as the half-hour wore on.

Mac's assessment of Bloo at the end was quite apropos.

Yeah, he did, and yeah, it WAS! Bloo really, really did remind me of those people in last night's "CSI" who believed that they had to save humanity from this alien takeover, though, except Bloo didn't kill Cheese and cut off his head and mount it on the wall like a trophy. I'm REALLY surprised that Eduardo didn't wind up doing some version of the "Dave's Not Here, Man" routine, either(those of you who were fans of Cheech and Chong will know what I mean, lol)! THAT would have made my night, Manic-depressed Wilt notwithstanding, and been a WONDERFUL piece of ammo to use against those who claim that Foster's is "just a kiddie show" and adults have no business watching it!

[Foster's Geek 287]

That was interesting...
But Cheese wasn't funny. :cheesegrin:
I loved the Jackie Khones V. Martha Foster case, though. If it weren't for that, I'd hate the episode. :jk:

[Rinny562]

XD I could so imagine that!

Ed: *hiding in a dumpster*
Wilt: .....*knocks* Eduardo?
Ed; *giggling*...
Wilt : --....Ed?
Ed: *giggle* whooooo is it?
Wilt: Wilt --
Ed: Wiiiiiiiiiilt?
Wilt: yes --
Ed: hee hee Wilt's not here man
Wilt' --

[WiltFan]

Okay, I just got done watching it, and it was....AWESOME! :D It was just so random! And I love random things. :cheesegrin: I felt sorry for Frankie though. ^^; I'd give this episode a 10/10. :bloogrin: Oh yeah, I also loved Eduardo in this episode. Oh man....xD

[Sparky]

I'm afraid I disliked it. Perhaps not with great intensity, but I didn't find any part of it amusing or really entertaining. I'm glad we got to see Louise again though. But I really kinda hated how the beginning of the episode had to conform to CN's little alien campaign thing, and the episode has no title card. Seeing as the credits were part of the Invaded intro, I take it there is no "normal" cut of the episode that does have a title screen. Nor did I think the ending justified anything.

Basically the only thing that would "save" this episode for me is if the end credit gag turns out to be a scene of Craig working on an episode of Lauren like, either grumbling about network bigwigs or on the phone with some studio exec arguing that they're crushing his artistic vision. Though I suppose they wouldn't have attempted to do something like that even if they wanted to, lol. :D

Anyways I will *attempt* to upload this ep to my Megaupload account tonight; please gank it and put it on Youtube or wherever else you want.

[Crash-N-Cortex]

The episode was okay. It's nice to see Cheese again, and he's just as annoying as ever. Louise finally made a second appearance in this episode. I like how Ed was acting in the episode. It was funny at times, yet I wouldn't consider this episode my favorite.

[bloonuggets]

This wasn't one of the best episodes. Did anyone see Frankie having an aardvark on her back when she visited Louise?

[Sparky]

It was a possum, apparently displaced from the trashcan she was lugging around with Cheese inside (if I recall the scene correctly). I know aardvarks were mentioned in the episode but it wouldn't have made much sense for one to be just randomly clinging to Frankie's back.

Btw I am uploading this ep to Megaupload right now, but for some unknown reason it is going SUPER slowly. :P

[billytheskink]

I thought this episode was fantastic.

Certainly not plot-driven and certainly not without flaws, but there was so much to enjoy.

Frankie gets run through the ringer, a bit too much I thought (the hill climbing ordeal went over the top), but the resulting conflict works (at times). She's got more hair than you realize...
Eduardo's schtick made the episode, Cheese did nothing for the show (though nice to see Louise).

I'm awarding bonus points for the Napoleon Dynamite parody at the end and the package addressed to Saul Malone at the beginning. (even though I do not care for either of those characters in their original programs)

[RedboXen]

Btw I am uploading this ep to Megaupload right now, but for some unknown reason it is going SUPER slowly. :P

If anyone else knows where to look, there is the usual Moonsong encode going around, its been on usenet since about 4 hours ago.....

[TheLH]

Where, exactly?

[duck2k]

I recorded it on my DVR, and I just got done seeing it (was at an all night jam session). It was a grab bag type episode, and yes - Cheese did get irritating as the episode continued. Jackie Khones definitely made the episode, and Eduardo being high as a kite was hilarious! Martha Foster was a bit cranky (but she had a trying day), and Frankie was frazzled. If you look in the theater, You can see Dylan (Frankie's date). I liked it, albeit that it was not one of their best.:frankiesmile:

[Sparky]

Whoa, thanks so much! Between this and the fact that my Foster's season one set just arrived, this is shaping up to be a great day.

[Ditchy McAbandonpants]

Ooh, thanks much, Sparky! :) I couldn't get a torrent of the Moonsong-endoded version yet, but this one did the trick until I can find it.

As for the episode itself, I'm going to agree with the majority here; not one of the best. At the outset, I was really just happy to be watching a new Foster's, and I remained pretty well-disposed to it, but as it panned out, the episode just wore me down. :macwor:

Like others have said, "random" is the key word here. As it turned out, the "Bloo believes Cheese is an alien" plot synopsis that we've been discussing all this time was something of a red herring; frankly, I'd hardly even call this a Cheese episode, because that would wrongly imply that Cheese was the narrative focal point, or indeed that the episode had a narrative focal point at all. There were no story arcs or even the remotest sense of a three-act structure; what few plot strands there were (Bloo's alien conspiracy theories, Madame Foster's court case, Frankie/Mac's attempts to keep control) were handled in such a flippant and inconsequential way that they couldn't be confused for anything other than what they were, namely, devices with which to cram as many lunatic jokes, characters and scenarios as they could into the 20 minutes. This isn't actually a criticism in itself - many Foster's episodes in the past have worked on this premise with Store Wars, Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree and Camp Keep A Good Mac Down immediately springing to mind - but for my money, Cheese A Go-Go pushed the formula too far; the lunacy was too hyper (about 75% of the lines were shouted or screamed, even discounting Cheese's incessant yelling), the situations got too random (centering a plotline around a court case over a sandwich? And the bearded guy in drag? ???), and the plot too minimal (basically, crazy stuff happened for twenty minutes, then it just...ended). In this kind of environment, it's also inevitable that "voice-of-reason" characters like Frankie, Mac and Wilt are going to get marginalised and trampled, which negates the balance they normally bring and tips the show further over the edge. To be honest, by the end of it I felt a little like Frankie looked: tired-out and frazzled. :(

Having said all that, this is Foster's, so there were things I enjoyed. The animation is undoubtedly better now, notably in the cinema sequence; more fluidity, more dynamism, more flexibility on perspectives and better effects on things such as lighting. In actual content terms, I must admit that one of the advantages to the unrestrained madcap style is that the writers throw so much material at you that something has to stick; what stuck most with me were High Eduardo (naturally; Craig McCracken seems to have this idea that Hispanic accents are inherently funny, and I'm increasingly inclined to agree :P) and lazy, indifferent cheapskate Jackie Khones (again, that voice coming out of that body is just funny, no matter what he's doing). Even though neither of them had their finest hour, I also did enjoy watching Frankie and Wilt, maybe because I really felt for them here; Bedraggled Frankie w/ Possum was an amusing visual, and I quite liked Wilt's "What the hell are these idiots doing?" demeanour. He also had my favourite line of the episode:

"Uh...objection!"
"Wh...objection? On what grounds?!"
"I...I don't know, I'm sorry."

Overall, a lower-tier showing to kick off Season Five, but I'm not worrying too much yet. I didn't feel that Seasons Two and Three started that strongly either (with Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree and Eddie Monster, respectively), and both of them went on to turn out some classics; indeed, the forthcoming "The Buck Swaps Here" already sounds much more promising to me. And when all's said and done, I'm still just glad to have the show back. :frankiesmile:

[Invader Bloo]

Someone look at the Court scene frame by frame, Fred Fredburger does appear!

I'm really diapointed with this episode, may be as bad as the last season 4 episode (the Goo one).:(

[k0ugs]

Lol I have no idea what you're talking about. :terrsmile: Here's my upload (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W7DKI2JL).

you beat me again! I got this off IRC about 20 min after the episode aired!

Soon I will be posting the DVD rips :)

[Shuvcat]

I liked it. I think the flaws came from the fact that the writers were being shoehorned into the alien theme, but it was still cool.
I liked how Madame Foster snapped and tried to climb over the pulpit to beat up the judge. :)
There sure are a lot of first-run B-movies in the Foster's universe. Come on, you can barely see the strings!
Of course my favorite part was stoned Ed! He looked kind of freaky with one tooth pulled, poor thing. :-/ Hope the new one comes in soon!
At first I thought that thing on Frankie's back was a rat!! I like rats.
Any Foster's is better than none. Keep them coming, guys!

[bloonuggets]

BTW, the episode aired with the regular opening today (5/5), and the credits had Frankie still running errands. Sunday night and Tuesday night (5/6 and 8) will have the repeats in the regular format.

[LaBlooGirl]

What the??? I feel like I got spun around rapidly by a mad dog on a leash. Or something.

I'd say 5/10. Okay. Not great.

What I did like....was Bloo. Such a cutie. I keep wishing I could just grab him out of the screen and hug him, no matter how much of a "doofus" (ya got that right, Mac Daddio) he's being.

Ed was hilarious. He's so honest when he's high, huh? He said everything exactly right about Mac, Bloo, and Wilt. LOL

Other than these things I didn't care for it much. Cheese annoyed the hell out of me and the alien plot was kinda stupid. But I still didn't hate it, although that could be because I'm just biased when it comes to Foster's, as a huge fan. ;)

[TraverseTown]

Love Jackie so much! Mme Foster gets angry over a sandwich!

[billytheskink]

a sandwich...

[bloonuggets]

Or as they say on some other boards "a sammich".

[antgirl1]

Ed was hilarious. He's so honest when he's high, huh? He said everything exactly right about Mac, Bloo, and Wilt. LOL

"Hey Bloo! It's been so LONG, man!"
"Yeah, hi whatever."
"Hey, how come are you always mean all the time? I mean, you always seem so selfish! But I know you no mean it, you're just like a little kid, cause it don't matter..." Sorry, all I could pick up. Say...Is it just me or did Ed sound like a hippy then? XD

"Cheese, you is so crazy sometimes, I know you have a calek (I know it's misspelled, I have no clue what this word is) somewhere! Hey Frankie! You must be it, girl! Hey baby you smell like pineapple!"

"-It's better to go with the floooow."
"Ed, we don't want you to get hurt."
"You know Mac...I LIKE you. You always so smart and nice, but you're way too serious. You need to lighten up a little!" More hippiness. XDDD

"'Eeeeey, it's Wilt! Mah main man! You the taller one, I'm the fat one, but it doesn't really matter, I come with it!" LOL, did I just sense a Mario & Luigi reference?? XDDD

Ed IS funny when he's "high". :D

[Bloo2daMacs]

"You the tall skinny one... and I'm the fat one. It's okay, I know I'm fat! You gotta love who you are..."

LOL

I loved this episode, and here's why...

"Mr. Khones, did you make the sandwhich?"
"Nope."
"Did some one make the sandwhich for you?"
"Nope."
"Did you eat the other half of the sandwhich?"
"Nope."
"Wha- Then how is it your sandwhich?"
"I wrote my name on it."
"You wrote your name on it?"
"In mustard"
"Wilt, you're my lawyer, do something!"
"Uh... Objection?!"
"Objection? On what grounds?!"
"Uhhh, I don't know. I'm sorry..."

Oh yeah, and...

"I feel like celebrating! Who's up for sandwhiches? You? You?"
"Are you insane?"
"You? I know not you."
"Coco."
"Alright. Anyone else? Anyone?"
"How can you guys be thinking about food at a time like this?!"
"I could go for a sandwhich."
"Alright. Anyone else? No? Okay."
"We can sound the siren the whole way there!"

[kaytea]

By the way, Sparky, the file doesn't work, it says that the players I try to use (Windows Media Player, Realplayer) cannot support it.
strange it works fine for me O.o

[antgirl1]

"You the tall skinny one... and I'm the fat one. It's okay, I know I'm fat! You gotta love who you are..."

LOL

Oh, that is SO a Mario & Luigi reference, Mario is the fat one, and Luigi is that taller, skinny one. And the "We're like a team" thing pretty much goes with it too. Ed even called Wilt his "bro". XDD

strange it works fine for me O.o

Don't worry, I found out the problem, the renaming of the file screwed it up somehow. I redownloaded it without renaming it and it works better.

[Ccook50]

There was no real payoff to the conclusion. When asked why Cheese went around shouting "Gottagogottagogottago" all episode, all Louise could say was "that's what he does." All the potential explanation/punch lines were used up early.

[billytheskink]

Oh, that is SO a Mario & Luigi reference, Mario is the fat one, and Luigi is that taller, skinny one. And the "We're like a team" thing pretty much goes with it too. Ed even called Wilt his "bro". XDD

Mario and Luigi are neither the only nor the first fat guy/tall skinny guy team.

It's a common cliche, and a funny one.

Ed IS funny when he's "high". :D


Ed was supposed to sound like Cheech Marin from the old Cheech and Chong movies and comedy routines, though he actually came off more like the two of them combined. Their whole routine was based on getting high on weed, though I've seen enough people stoned on whatever sedatives they got at the dentist office, too, to know that there's not much difference! Anyone see the episode of "American Chopper" when Mikey had to go to the dentist and they had to knock him out like Eduardo? He pretty much was acting the same way when they got back to the shop with him!

I believe that the comment Ed made to Wilt about him being the tall, skinny one and Ed being the fat one was sort of a reference to the comedy team of Laurel and Hardy, which consisted of a tall, skinny guy and a fat guy, although in that team, their personalities were almost the opposite of Wilt and Ed's.

[One Radical Dude]

Definitely a lot of mixed reviews here. I'm going to have to be one of those that approved Cheese A Go-Go. I don't believe this is as strong of a season debut as Season Four's premiere of "Challenge of the Superfriends" by any means, but I believe that CAGG is still a fun episode. Ed's behavior was hilarious in this one, and it was one of my favorite points in the episode. I also liked the whole court angle between Jackie Khones and Madame F. Jackie owns in this one. :jk: I didn't believe Cheese was as annoying as he could easily have been (though the "gotta go, gotta go..." was a bit much :cheesegrin: ). If Goo were in this episode, I think it would've been worse. There's one bright spot there.

I give it a 9.0.

[fosters-fan]

You know..... I liked this episode a lot, too! ^_^

But I don't know how Eduardo lost his tooth. My guess is in a baseball game. Anyways, the episode was so hilarious! With everything, but especially Eduardo acting like he's high! Yes; I agree on that part, everyone! 8D

However, the one thing I least expected was Eduardo to lose his belt, thus resulting in his pants falling down! How embarrassing of him not to find that embarrassing till the end! :-[

Despite all of that, this episode...... gets a five outta five from me! And if you're out there, Eduardo......... you know it's all muscle on ya, and not fat (referring to the very end of the episode)! ;)

[billytheskink]

If Goo were in this episode, I think it would've been worse. There's one bright spot there.
Goo in this episode would have been serious overkill.

I can't even think of how she would fit in to any of the multiple plot lines...

[Ccook50]

However, the one thing I least expected was Eduardo to lose his belt, thus resulting in his pants falling down! How embarrassing of him not to find that embarrassing till the end! :-[
The gentle giant was still in flight from his anesthesia when he lost his trousers. He had no idea what had happened till he came out of it.

[fosters home fan]

eh, I just lost "interest" in watching this episode. I thought cheese was at least going to say a few different lines, but I guess not :\ Also, there really wasn't a plot to this episode, at all. I mean what was up with the "hippy in drag" and other pointless characters?! I thought this episode was going to be about Bloo thinking cheese is an alien, not "mindless insanity" for 20 or so minutes. I'm also confused as to why Wilt didn't smile once in this episode. Is he going emo or something?! But then again, I wouldn't be smiling if I had to be in "mindless insanity" I pretty much watched about 18 minutes straight of the episode, then I kinda just realised where this episode was going (ie, nothing much more than "mindless insanity") I am to only bluntly assume that this episode was made for the "cheese fans who like watching nonsense".


Anyways, my rating.............meh. Somewhere around 4.3/10 to 6.1/10 And that's my "review".

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Okay I FINALLY got around to seeing this, I missed it's initial run because of an error on my timer VCR since i was seeing Spider man 3 at the time it was airing. Anyways, I avoided looking at people's reviews of this episode so I could see it "untainted" if you will and I finally came down to a review for this episode.

I have to be honest, I liked it. The fact that it was mindless fun is probably why I did enjoy it, they used so many random locations, and set ups all around that it kept things interesting and as shocking as it may be, hearing Cheese say "gotta go" a billion times was rather catchy then annoying.

Eduardo and Khones were absolutely hilarious, I love how Khones got such a large role and was actually praising this sandwich victory over Madame Foster. Eduardo though was the prize, his toothless, pot smoking persona just made it so easy to enjoy, especially how he spoke so accurately about all the characters.

Like Mac "hey, you so serious, lighten up" or how he said Bloo was mean but is a good guy on the inside. I also loved the part where the lady actually thought her brain was being sucked. Louise was kinda cute this time around and it was nice to see her again (anyone else thinks she looks like a toddler version of Frankie?)

Now for the cons: the whole alien/"gotta go" discovery was pretty pointless. There was no ACTUAL alien use in here other then a 5 second plot device, which sported an ending that actually seemed like what you'd see in one of the Foster's shorts. The fact Cheese wasn't going anywhere wasn't really funny.

Had they maybe used the ending of this episode to say branch off and continue this alien concept, it would have been interesting to have a kind of alien/cheese/mystery story arc thing going. And of course the thing that bugged me the most, 3 little words: poor, poor Frankie :'(.

I was fine with everything until I saw her climbing up the hill top. Seeing her legs scraped up with blood and on the verge of tears when she left Louise's after getting the phone call was hurtful. In fact, and I NEVER thought this was possible, this is even sadder then the scrubbing scene Frankie went through in "Imposter's".

Frankie was yelled at by everyone, and I felt so bad for her at the post office because she sounded so cute asking for the stamps and apologize for every little change. And don't ask me why but Frankie looked downright SWEET with the butter on her :-X again don't ask me why, I just think she looked good in it.

So in conclusion, I give "Cheese a Go-go" about a C+. This was a decent new season episode, not a SOLID or amazing or crappy season opener, but decent. It had plenty of mindless fun and using characters in different lights (Jackie and Eduardo) kept things amusing and still silly and entertaining at the same time.

But the poor treatment Frankie went through made me feel how Frankie looked: like roadkill. The possum alone is a sign of it (a funny one though). And the whole "alien" tie in seems like a down right stupid and cheap tie in to an unnecessary special promo about this whole "Invaded" thing. All in all, a decent episode.

[Shuvcat]

I was fine with everything until I saw her climbing up the hill top.

That reminds me, when I saw that I thought for sure they were going to try for some kind of Close Encounters of the Third Kind homage, since in that movie they're scrambling up a hill to see the alien spaceship. I was very surprised when they kind of let that drop. (I agree, Frankie got put thru the wringer this ep.)

I think it's supposed to be some type of irony thing. :/ I dunno.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

You know what the really sad thing is? Frankie got into this mess by helping someone, Cheese. She took the time to stop the bus and pick him up because she was worried he might get hurt running around screaming on his own.

It bothers me that she actually did, in retrospect, the RIGHT thing by trying to help someone and instead, she gets hammered and torn apart by the movie theater people, the doctors, the post office people, etc.

You know there's a reason chivalry is dead, it's because the decent, honest people who go out of their way to help people get trampled on so much they end up killing themselves :terrence:.

Sorry, little over dramatic I know.

It bothers me that she actually did, in retrospect, the RIGHT thing by trying to help someone and instead, she gets hammered and torn apart by the movie theater people, the doctors, the post office people, etc.

You know there's a reason chivalry is dead, it's because the decent, honest people who go out of their way to help people get trampled on so much they end up killing themselves :terrence:.

Sorry, little over dramatic I know.

Over dramatic? Eh, I don't know. It's true what you said about chivalry though, which doesn't say much about today's society. :(

That may be why Frankie's bad day isn't bothering me as much as it otherwise might. It wasn't directed at her personally; it's just how people are, and it was spread out over more than one encounter. Goofball's actions were a lot more personal and uncaring. True, she had a bad day in CAGG, but I think from her point of view it was likely more exaspirating than upsetting, whereas the reverse was the case in Imposter's. After she got back to Foster's, I like to think she soaked in a hot tub for an hour or two, went to bed, and forgot all about Cheese.

[taranchula]

Ahhhh Spring, The sun is shining, the grass is that perfect shade of green, the leaves are starting to bud and Foster's is back on the tube.

This episode was indeed pure 100% grade A USDA randomness, the best kind of randomness there is. So many jokes flying at me I thought my head was going to spin, thankfully the jokes we got worked so well. Strung out Ed, Madam Foster's courtroom hijinks (Complete with "Phoenix Wilt: Attorney at Law"), Jackie Khones Jackie Khones and Jackie Khones (Man for a little guy he sure can hit.), Bloo being Bloo and Frankie Foster and the no good horrible day part 33 and a 1/3, just to name a few.

Not the best episode ever, but it was certainly good enough to keep me entertained for 22 minuets and really I couldn't ask for anything more.

[Ditchy McAbandonpants]

I think the other important difference between this one and "Imposter's..." is that it wasn't only one character getting dumped on this time, so the abuse didn't feel personal or vindictive. In this kind of "lunatics-take-over-the-asylum" situation, all of the "straight man" characters are inevitably going to have a rough time of it; as such, not just Frankie but Mac and Wilt also were consigned to spending the episode chasing frantically after their errant companions, taking more than a few knocks on the way.

I'm a fan of the straight characters, so this isn't my personal favourite type of episode (I didn't really like the similar Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree or Camp Keep A Good Mac Down either), but I'm happy to accept that being marginalised by (and taking a few lumps for) the zanier characters is part and parcel of their role on the show, so I'm fine with it.

[Sparky]

You guys, I don't watch Powerpuff Girls...is it true that the observatory (http://www.fosters-home.com/screengrabs/5/501-0088.jpg) in this ep looks like Mojo Jojo's lair? Someone said as much on another forum. Doesn't make it *true*, so I was just wondering.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

I think the thing that ended up bothering me was more of the type of crap that Frankie was being put through. "Imposter's" relied mainly on emotional and personal abuse, Frankie was more emotionally stressed out more then anything.

Normally physical is something i write off as common visuals in a cartoon, but it just seemed so much painful when Frankie was climbing up the hill. Maybe it was the blood which I have to say, I am VERY very surprised they showed that.

Be it gushing or small drops, the fact a non violent show like Foster's actually had that kind of, if you pardon the pun, "flesh" to it's visuals was very surprising. I also was upset that this continued the whole bad public image thing.

Here, Frankie was chewed up by everyone and their mother in town. Mac and the others did have their own crap to pull with, except Frankie will still probably end up getting stuck with doctor bills, damage fees and other stuff like that.

In a way though I also admire Frankie, most people would quit any job after going through a day like that. I didn't hate this episode, as I said i really did have fun watching it, it's one of those "turn off your brain" mindless fun episodes.

I just can't help feeling for Frankie though, must be my nature.

[Ccook50]

Frankie is the overworked and underappreciated in all of us.

From what I remember Mojo Jojo's lair looked like an observatory and it had these steps that lead up to it. I don't think it was all white though. You could say that it looks like his lair, but then you could say any observatory looks like his lair.

[Ub3rD4n]

Before I start, I don't know how to do spoiler warnings, but if you don't want spooilers and haven't seen the episode yet, DON'T READ THIS THREAD!

Wow. Looking at the other posts I gotta ask, were we watching the SAME episode? Maybe I watched a different, funnier version to you guys. Yeah, you heard me, I think the episode was brilliant. It didn't NEED any plot other than Frankie and Madame Foster's stressful day. Yeah, i did feeel bad for Frankie 'cause I can SO relate to that. i didin't mind the hill-climbing scene at all, cause after all she'd been through, a simple hill isn't gonna make much difference.

Cheese fans were probably dissappointed, cause Cheese is capable of much more intelligent conversation than that uttered in this episode. I think they used him pretty well, but that's probably cause I can't much stand him for too long.

Jackie was brilliant. We finally got to see what kind of personality he has, and truth be told, it's a bit like Bloo's. I thought the Fosters crew were gonna keep him as a bit character with one liners forever, but I'm not unhappy that they didn't.

Eduardo's performance no longer needs detailing. Just read the other posts.

As for Wilt, you people are putting him too much on a pedestal. he's not superhuman, he's NEAR superhuman, and he can be unhappy at times. If you were in the middle of all that, would YOU be smiling?

Also, he was reading "The Blockhead's guide to defence law". The Blockhead's guide is quite a prolific brand, we've seen it on at least two other episodes to date (Berry Scary and Hiccy-Burps). I just like those random past-episode references, like Dylan, trying not to be seen.

All in all, I think it went together great. Yes, I agree it was more random than most Fosters episodes, but suffered not for it. I think it was well worth the wait.

Oh, BTW, I think that CAGG is not the official season premiere, but just part of the CN promo going on right now. The episode they show you next will be the one the Fosters crew want us to see first. I'd like to see the opening title shot for it, too.

[Shany]

It was a pretty average epsiode. I don't think Bloo got enough screen time (and I don't even like Bloo that much).
For this episode to work it needed to have much more of Bloo's craziness.
At least he had some good lines, like near the end:"You know not what you are doing woman! You're dooming us all!"

I have to say, this show likes to abuse it's characters. Poor Frankie, I really hope she'll get to beat Bloo up at least once, seeing as he's usually the cause of her trouble.

Jackie and Madam Foster in court just didn't work for me. I hated Madam Foster's 'sucking up to the judge' because it took too long and wasn't funny.
I did like her yelling "Khones!" every time she got mad at Jackie.
Wilt as a lawyer was funny, even if it was very very short.

I liked Ed's performance, but it seemed to drag for a bit too long.
What he said to Bloo made me luagh. Totally what people are thinking about Bloo - not liking him because he's selfish, forgiving him because he's not aware of it like a kid, and finding him funny.

[Bloo2daMacs]

Another thing I forgot to mention about this episode is the appearence of TONS of people from old episodes. I saw Dylan, That one guy that got arrested in GWH, the "hitchhiker" for Bus The Two of Us, and a whole bunch of other people randomly thrown throughout other episodes. THAT is a nice touch to start off a new season.

[Cassini90125]

Thank you for that.

Your nature and mine, dude. I hadn't thought about the "public image" aspect of the whole thing, but it's a good point. Things like the events here and in Store Wars, for example, can add up in people's minds and give her an undeserved reputation as a public nuisance.

The scene on the hill was painful, yes, but on the other hand it showed her determined nature and fighting spirit, an "I'm getting to the top and nothing's going to stop me" attitude. And despite being battered and bruised she did make it to the top, which may be a small victory but it's a victory nonetheless and a reason to smile. :frankiesmile:

[Nyo]

...Is it me or does the kid that high-on-funny-gas Ed talks to in the dentist's office look like the boy from My Gym Partner's a Monkey?

Screencap for reference (http://www.fosters-home.com/screengrabs/5/501-0035.jpg)

[Ccook50]

No, he doesn't. Adam Lyon (the kid on Gym Partner) is short and dumpy, his eyes are smaller and has nowhere near as much hair as that kid in the screenshot does.

[antgirl1]

As for Wilt, you people are putting him too much on a pedestal. he's not superhuman, he's NEAR superhuman, and he can be unhappy at times. If you were in the middle of all that, would YOU be smiling?

*claps like a million times* The fact that he DOESN'T smile even once, doesn't bug me at all, besides, SO WHAT? Everyone has their bad days, and there HAS to be times where there's nothing to smile about. Just like Frankie, Wilt also had a pretty much screwed up day as well.

Why would whether or not Wilt smiles matter? It's not like he's going emo, if he was though, next episode he'd have the total "goth" look. Only it'd be age appropriate for the show.

Don't worry about it; I'm sure he'll smile next episode. 'Kay?

[Nyo]

But until then, let's look at Antgirl's smiling Wilt avvie.

*goes blind* D:

Yes, if I was Wilt in CAGG, I wouldn't be smiling, too.

[Invader Bloo]

I liked the random Hobo dude.:bloocross:

I give this episode a C-.

[Medikor]

I just saw this episode today on Teletoon! This was a pleasant surprise because I never expected them to have it this soon.
I thought the episode was great from start to finish. It really reminded me of "Crime After Crime" the way one thing lead to another. And I was very pleased to see Frankie have such a prominent role. I really didn't expect her to be a major player in another Cheese episode after "The Big Cheese".
I also want to say that I was really, really impressed with the image of this episode. It was very crisp and clean and featured some new fluid and lively animations, mostly from, Frankie. All in all I am very happy with this episode and can't wait to see the rest of the season. :D

[fosters home fan]

But then again, I wouldn't be smiling if I had to be in "mindless insanity"

I don't think anyone's intentionally ignoring you. :P

As for Cheese's voice sounding weird; well, yeah -- he's Cheese! :cheesegrin:

[fosters home fan]

ok.

I meant that his voice sounded different from his first two appearences in the show.

[One Radical Dude]

Really? Well, the difference to me (if any) is minimal.

[montitech]

I like the way we got to finally see some of Jackies personallity.

The Hobo looks so familiar, Was he not in an earlier eppisode somewhere??

I thought the episode was fun, not great but not horrible.
thus far I think season 4 was the best (less Good Wilt Hunting) but Go cheese go does not seem to bad, I think it is growing on me after watching it again.

Maybe it would be better if the volume on cheese was a tad lower to make him less annoying in this eppisode.

Monty :-/

[Invader Bloo]

It may be because Candi probably recorded one line for Cheese("Gotta Go) & they kept repeating it over & over again, sometimes super fast. You could tell Louise's voice changed since Season 2.


The Hobo dude appeared as one of Bloo's hitchhikers in "Bus the Two of Us" if my memory is right. Which might be why Bloo wasn't scared of him, when he appeared out of nowhere.

[kageri]

I don't think anyone's mentioned this, but the way they portray teenagers on Foster's really amuses me for some reason. I love how they always make the guys have long hair and monotonous voices. I dunno, it's just funny.

When I saw this episode I knew immediately people would be affronted by Frankie's treatment in it, but I agree with Cass that it really wasn't meant to be personal... she wasn't really being targeted, she was just having a bad day. And let's be honest.... if someone in front of you in line at the grocery store was doing the stamp thing, and it wasn't Frankie, wouldn't you find it annoying? Which is not to say the other people were right in loudly griping about it, but people can be jerks. But I do agree she was totally cute asking for the stamps.

The "gotta go" thing was pretty annoying, because... well, he didn't really, so it wasn't even ironic or anything. Although I did like how he was flailing and flapping around when Mac and Frankie were trying to restrain him. His weird bean-shaped body and skinny boneless legs are funny in themselves, really.

I also loved Eduardo's whole "ride the wave, embrace the aura" thing. But what's with the whole pantsless Eduardo thing? How many times does he need to be de-pantsed?

[fosters-fan]

Sorry, little over dramatic I know.

I see where you're coming from. *coughgirlscough*

Of course, I give this episode a 4/10. Really, Cheese's stupidity got old and annoying, the plot was confusing, and nearly everybody--good, bad, or indifferent--went to jail without passing Go or collecting $200. Not to mention Mac, Frankie, and I think a few other characters were going through a bad day. Geez, this makes me glad Goo wasn't around.

But at least it was nice to see characters being described in 2-3 sentences each and we got some development on Louise's part. Hmm, makes me wonder if the FHFIF staffing tried TOO hard.

[YuckieDuck]

*shrugs* Beats me. He was pantsless for.... let's see. Land of the Flea..... The Big Cheese....... and now Cheese A Go-Go.

[Medikor]

But I do agree she was totally cute asking for the stamps.

That was one of my favorite parts of this episode. Frankie was just so adorable and full of fun, fluid and new animation from what I could tell. Maybe I just haven't seen the show in a while but I found it was very refreshing. :D

[Mulch]

This ep seems weird to me for some reason, probably because there isn't one scene that shows Foster's or takes place in one of the rooms there.
Also, I must have been pretty tired watching it, since I thought I actually heard Cheese hiss "Nooo" when he jumped up on the telly. Well, everything else I have to say has already been said; I feel sorry for Frankie, Eduardo on funny gas was pure genius, and it was nice to see Louise again. I agree with the majority here, not the best episode ever, but not the worst either.

Oh, yeah, and Jackie Khones finally had a bigger role.:jk:

Somebody on tv.com's forum said that the FHFIF staffing were forced by Cartoon Network to do this for their "Invaded" gimmick.

Sounds like we shouldn't believe season 5 will be like this, which is good. "Gotta go" gotta old really fast. And Frankie having the butter spilt on looked like she was hit by....yuck.

That was me, most likely. It's just a theory, actually, nothing cold-hard-factual. It just "felt" to me like the creative crew was basically told that Cartoon Network was going to be doing this big "alien invasion" theme involving several of their shows for May "sweeps", and one of them was going to be Foster's, so they had to come up with a show that would fit that theme. It's entirely possible that I'm wrong, but that's my "gut feeling" on it. I guess we'll be better able to tell how Season Five is REALLY going to shape up once "The Buck Swaps Here" debuts.

I just hope for the sake of CN that the next episode rocks! I don't want it to end up being cancelled quickly, like The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. That would suck big time!

[antgirl1]

No wonder it's not as good as the other episodes! The crew had no say in the matter!

I SO totally forgive the staff now. :D

[Mr. Marshmallow]

I don't really think that had anything to do with it, and if that was the case, I really didn't notice. In fact the only episode I truly felt that was vacant of the Foster's crew "team magic" was the Goo episode "Make believe it or not". Which reminds me, that was WAY more alien orientated then "Cheese a go-go".

If they were coaxed into it over this whole Invaded thing, I'm surprised they just didn't use that Goo episode instead of going to the trouble of making a show that has NOTHING to do with aliens, try to work in an alien plot. Hell, why don't they just have a Ben 10 marathon or air a new episode of it instead?

I mean that show is all ABOUT aliens. Anyways, after watching this episode a second time, I noticed a few things that left me with a few questions.

1. We know why Bloo, Madame Foster, Eduardo, Coco, and Jackie Khones were arrested, but why was Mac and Wilt brought in? What did they do exactly?

2. How could anyone be certain Cheese or a lot of these imaginary friends aren't aliens or monsters from other locations? I mean, Bloo may have been too nutty to know the difference but seriously, how would an average human being know the difference between an imaginary friend and a real monster?

3. This is just something weird and probably doesn't require answering but, how come Eduardo goes to the dentist for his teeth and Coco gets hers done by Wilt? We saw him doing it in "Where there's a Wilt there's a way".

[FailedShapeshifter]

1. We know why Bloo, Madame Foster, Eduardo, Coco, and Jackie Khones were arrested, but why was Mac and Wilt brought in? What did they do exactly?

I'm glad someone else was wondering that to! I thought I was all alone8D I mean, Madame Foster acted up while Mac was with her, but that doesn't give them a reason to put an eight-year old in jail! Honestly, what is happening to our legal system? And Wilt.......he was trying to stop Ed, not suck out anyone's brain......poor guys gotta be sick of being stuck in jail by now:(

Other than my confusion, this episode wasn't actually all that bad, there are episodes that are worse. Despite Cheese screaming "Gotta go gotta go!" I really got a kick out of some parts......and I really feel for Frankie sometimes....

[Ditchy McAbandonpants]

The torrent site MySpleen (http://www.myspleen.net) has just uploaded a very good quality version of "Cheese A Go-Go". You have to register an account first, but it's free to do so...it's where I go for all my new Foster's eps. :)

This version of it still has the CN Invaded intro (still yet to see the re-animated credits), but the end credit sequence is there...those who felt unduly worried about Frankie would probably feel a bit better after seeing them, I think. :frankiesmile: For those who want to be spoiled:

It's just a short sequence of Frankie sat in her car outside the Foster's mansion with Madame Foster still yammering away at her on her mobile. She's just about to depart, when Cheese suddenly leaps over the top of the car and takes off down the street, once again yelling "gotta go!" Frankie looks panicked for a moment, obviously contemplating giving chase, but then stops herself, calmly says "No, wait; when you gotta go, you gotta go.", and then drives off with a smile, with Cheese continuing to scream his way down the street.

See? No harm done; she's a tough old girl. :frankiesmile:

I don't see how humans would be able to distinguish between Imaginary Friends and monsters, either, for that matter. Many of the IFs, including Eduardo, would certainly qualify as monsters.

I guess that Wilt just isn't qualified to administer controlled substances. You know Ed-he's not just gonna sit there and let somebody pull a tooth; he probably would freak out at the mere throught of a Novocaine needle! He'd have to be given some pretty strong stuff, and you'd definately have to have a medical license to have that on hand.

[Bloonan]

(for those who want to know the credits gag) I saw it. Here it is:
Frankie gets into a black car while talking on the phone. Cheese runs by ("Gotta go gotta go gotta go gotta go"). This catches Frankie's attention ("Cheese! Wait!") but she then calms down ("No. When you gotta go, you gotta go."). She performs a perfect Cheese imitation as she speeds off in her car ("Gotta go gotta go gotta GOhohohoooh!")
As for the episode, I hate the crap Frankie went through. If I were her, I'd just go "Grandma, I said I'll be there, now shut the h*** up about it!" and then I'd throw the cell phone out the window.:frankiemad:

I must see the end credits to see how Grey delise imitates Cheese.:D

[Ditchy McAbandonpants]

Bloonan: Eh? What makes you say it was Frankie saying the final "Gotta gooooo"? ??? I watched it again, and I can't see how it that could have been anyone other than Cheese himself as he raced off down the road. What was it that made you think otherwise?

I thought it was an alright episode, not the best, but alright. High Ed was amusing. 8D I felt so sorry for Frankie though. Man, that girl has to go through a lot of crap, doesn't she? :frankiemad:

Pitbulllady, you're totally right about Wilt. I mean come on! Where is his smile? WHERE?! *sob* :( Hopefully, this was just a one time thing, cause if it's not, can you imagine the fanfiction? *shudders* You all think there's a lot of ff about emo Wilt now...:wiltshock:

I love that hobo. I don't know why, but he's just an adorable oaf.

[Cassini90125]

He kind of weirded me out at first. He takes a little getting used to.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

To be honest, i really didn't find him funny or likeable at all. The concept of what he is and what he was doing wasn't funny to me in the least and it wasn't going to be funny no matter how the episode presented him.

Lots of things can be made funny if looked at or turned a different way, but sometimes there are things that don't get funny no matter how many changes they go through. I thought he was creepy and kinda nasty looking.

Kinda like how Mac was shoved into an ice box by Berry in "Berry scary". Sure, it worked with the whole montage of Berry shoving Mac out of the picture in every scene, but in reality that isn't too funny all things considered.

[scary_dream]

I just noticed something, and I don't know if it's been pointed out yet (I haven't read the earlier posts yet), but the post man stamped a box with the name "Saul Malone" on it...

Saul Malone is the name of the main character of Saul of the Mole Men on Adult Swim. What do you think, coincidence or on purpose?

That was more then likely on purpose, as the creator of Saul of the Mole Men is none other then Craig Lewis who was on the Foster's writing staff for seasons one, two and part of seaon three.

This had to have been the crew's way of wishing Craig L luck with his new series and served as some cross promotion for another show on the network.

Everybody Wins! :)

[scary_dream]

Awesome! That definetely explains a lot!
