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 :-/

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.

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?

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

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.

And Imposter's Home for Um... Make 'Em Up Pals.

Me and my friend did this to sum up Wilt's outlook in this episode 8D

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

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:

This message was approved by the Waste-of-Time foundation.

Lol, that's awsome!8D That can make a good avvie!:D

He did. I believe it was the only thing besides "Gotta go" he said all episode. Kinda broke his stride, there.

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!

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

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".

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....

The torrent site MySpleen 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:

Spoiler Below

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.

Yeah Coco was just getting her teeth cleaned.

True dat, true dat.

(for those who want to know the credits gag) I saw it. Here it is:

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

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?

Cheese was offscreen. I just figured it was Frankie.

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:

What was with the cross-dresser though?

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:

Wilt even manages to smile in "The Buck Swaps Here", and once you see that episode, you'll understand WHY that is such a profound statement!

pitbulllady

What was with the cross-dresser though?[/quote]
It was a Hobo.

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

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

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.

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! :)

Awesome! That definetely explains a lot!

Just a note, if you have an "on demand" digital cable hookup, the episode is listed as "CN Invaded 1" on Comcast. If you don't, let me tell you it is the regular intro for Foster's. The title card has a purple background with the title in an orange frame with yellow lettering on a background of black and teal floralies thingies.

Ah, well, I finally got a chance to see this episode today (I missed it when it first premiered for whatever reason. I think my family was watching something else at the moment, or something) and...um...I really don't want to sound TOO harsh, but...*cracks knuckles* oh, boy is this going to be hard to do.

To be completely honest, this episode was nothing but a loud, obnoxious racket at times and the reason why is quite simple, really. One word can describe it all: CHEESE. I'm sorry, but I REALLY think this episode would've been much better without him even being in it in the first place because his constant screaming of "gotta go" really...well...has got to go, no pun intended. It just grated on my nerves big time because he just said it WAY too much. Later on in the episode I was wishing that someone would just shut him up, or something-it got really annoying after the first few times. Frankie also went through a lot of unnecessary crap at times as well, unfortunately.

Sorry, but I really can't rate this one any higher than a 5/10 and that's still being generous because...well...Eduardo was really the only saving grace for "Cheese A Go Go". :( His "high-moments" WERE actually very funny, but Cheese's outbursts almost overrun the good moments just because of how annoying and drawn-out they were. I really hate to be this harsh, but I think that I've had about enough of Cheese after seeing this episode. He needs to be put on the back-burner for a LOOOOOOONG time now. Don't get me wrong, Cheese was hilarious in "Mac Daddy" and I could even tolerate him in "The Big Cheese", but now it just feels as if they've ran out of ideas for his character. So yes, I was not too pleased with this episode and, unfortunately, for me it beats out "Imposter's Home" and "Beat With A Schtick" as the worst Foster's episode. I know the Foster's crew can do better than this. It almost feels as if they were restricted due to the whole "Invasion" theme, which is really unfortunate. :(

You preffered Cheese in The Big Cheese? I dunno. I just found that what you said could apply better to that episode than this one. But, that's just my opinion. I think they used Cheese well in this one, a source of chaos, and nothing more. Cause when he's annoying.....he's REALLY annoying.

It's not that I preferred him in "The Big Cheese" (since I actually prefer him in "Mac Daddy")...just that I merely tolerated him in it. He was a bit annoying in that one, too, but I could handle it because there were some cute moments found throughout the episode. That's all I meant by that. I just couldn't stand him in this one because I didn't think that his character was used well at all. To me he was nothing but an annoying, screaming maniac in "Cheese A Go-Go". This is just my opinion, though. We all can't agree on the same things all the time, of course, because that would just be unrealistic since people are different and everything. ;)

Chaos Wielder: No, I agree with you on this one, I think. My main issue with Cheese has always been that he is a completely one-dimensional character, and that doesn't sit well with a character-driven show like Foster's, where a lot of the enjoyment and humour comes from getting to know the personalities and watching them react to different situations. I know a lot of people don't like Goo, and she can admittedly be overbearing, but I'd take her over Cheese any day, because she is at least an actual character with some depth and identity. Cheese on the other hand, as Ub3rD4n hinted at, plays more like a plot device masquerading as a character, merely a construct that the writers use to create lunatic gags and situations. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, but it means that there's nothing inherently interesting about him as a character; the onus therefore shifts entirely to the writers to give him something crazy, interesting and funny to do, by way of compensation. Neither "Mac Daddy" nor "The Big Cheese" would make my Top 20 episodes, but at least they both found imaginative ways for Cheese to cause trouble; by contrast, "Cheese A Go-Go" had him running around screaming the same two words for 22 minutes, and for me that just doesn't cut it. :(

Well, at least I now uderstand why you gusy didn't like hism in Cheese A-Go-Go. Since, as you gathered, I never liked Cheese's personality much to begin with, and tended not to focus on Cheese, I prefer it when an episode doesn't entirely focus on him, but he is merely a catalyst of crazy reactions in other characters. So, I think we got that sorted out. And I do value your opinions, no matter how different from my own they may be.
