I was wondering why Jackie Khones and Fluffer Nutter were on the roof together on the Foster's float in the parade today... I wonder if that was meant to be a hint at what happened in today's ep?

Oh, c'mon! It wasn't THAT bad. Peas was a hero!

If Peas hadn't come in in the end, Frankie wouldn't have gotten an idea to turn the whole bad news story around! So I liked this episode, because Peas really turned up in the nick of time to help Frankie! ^_^

I was tricked by this ep too, thought they were showing the same one over. I think it was a clever idea (ala Back to the Future 2, showing the same film from a different POV), but I think it suffered from being the "alternate version" of an ep that wasn't that good to begin with. (I call The Big Cheese the "Let's make as much noise as possible" ep. And I like Cheese. Honest.)

Then again, sometimes when they decide to experiment this way with a well-loved ep, it backfires even worse. I give them an A for effort and E for execution. I was scared for Peas more than I was rooting for him. (Was anyone else reminded of "Honey I Shrunk the Kids"?)

That isn't the point. When The Big Cheese aired, Frankie turned everything around on her own. Now, with this rewriting of history, they've taken that triumph away from her. What next? Will we be told that Madame Foster rigged the election in Setting A President? It was so unecessary to do this to her. She deserves better.

Yeah, she hired a bloke by the name of Rhett Conn to monkey around with vote tabulating machine.

A cookie to anyone who gets that sly little joke. ;)

Okay, now I've seen the ep and I can say I didn't like it. I agree with Cass and pbl. This ep was either a way to try to rehash the popularity of The Big Cheese with Cheese fans, OR it was their way of trying to show us that there was more than Cheese to that episode. Which is a nice enough sentiment but I just didn't care for the end result. Sorry. :(

The episode is okay. For me, the episode seemed to be at the borderline between good or bad. This episode seems to explain how Frankie turn things around. Peas is a cool character, but its hard to help anyone since he's small. He's smaller than Grey Matter from "Ben 10". The thing I liked is how Peas tries to help Frankie. That's the only thing I probably like about this episode.

If this was a way of trying to boost the popularity of Cheese, then I felt like they didn't get the job done (they could have done a lot more). Then again, I did not have high expectations for the episode, as I figured it would have to do with TBC episode. As I've stated before, they can't all be winners, but this one was pretty low. Hopefully, they won't do anymore episodes like this one.

It's not the point that Peas tried to help Frankie, but the fact that Frankie IS perfectly capable of thinking up a way to turn her bad luck around herself, without any help from anyone. This episode made it seem that Frankie is simply one who gives up, sits down and wallows in self-pity, and that without Peas whispering in her ear, would have never found a way to turn that negative news report to her favor. THAT's what most of us have an issue with. Next thing you know, they'll have a version of Good Wilt Hunting from Peas' perspective, with Peas whispering in Wilt's ear telling him to get up off the bedroom floor, and do what he's gotta do to go and challenge Foul Larry, and Peas whispering in Mac's ear to tell him that Wilt's creator is really Jordan Michaels, to make us think that Wilt never would have had the courage to face his old nemesis without Peas' support, or Mac would not have had the intellect to equate Wilt's facial expressions while playing basketball with Jordan's facial expressions, without some hints from Peas.

My only hope is that Peas is rather like Bloo, and tends to "toot his own horn", to paraphrase Eduardo, and give himself credit for things he never did to compensate for his size(or lack thereof). In telling HIS version of what happened, he made himself out to be the larger-than-life hero, when he probably never got off of that one waxed linoleum block on the foyer floor!
