I've seen something about this... Bloo is dressed up as Gene Scimmons in the attic...
What the fudge?

That's all I saw about it.

Airing 9/11/07.

Sounds like the rock opera episode we heard about on the blog. Can't wait!

It don't matter WHAT it's about, Bloo will make it funny! :D

Yay, rock opera!!!

Did I mention I'm a music freak?

I'm SO excited for this ep.

Yea! New Foster's Episodes. I can't Wait!

It's looks like a cool episode. I can't wait for it.

Aah, so this must be the one we've been seeing lightning fast glimpses of, where Bloo has white "KISS type" makeup on his face (looks like underwear, lol!), and they're playing musical instruments. Can hardly wait! But it's airing the very next day as "Bloo Superdude"? And the same day S2 comes out on DVD? That's kinda' odd. But as was mentioned before, maybe it's just to set some hype about the show so people will go out and buy the new DVD. I guess that makes sense. :bloogrin:

Interesting episode, and strange that its airing after September 10.

Regardless, though, I'm looking forward to it.

To anyone who thinks it's strange... think of it this way, it's CN's way of saying "Sorry to keep you waiting!" :D

The New Episodes in one week is because of a New Block called Cartoon Network's Big Hullabanew.

I guess I was off, then. I always thought the singing we heard about was from "Emancipation Complication". 8D

I loved what I saw on the Big Hullabanew promo. Let the good times roll!! :yeah:

Would this be that musical type episode I've heard about? Either way it sounds like it's going to be great! :bloogrin:

What would really be great is if they use the episode as an excuse to showcase Grey Delisle's singing talents. I don't much care for musicals but that would definitely make it worthwhile for me. I doubt that's going to happen here but hey, maybe someday. :frankiesmile:

We can always dream...

Haven't you ever seen the episode "My Fair Mandy?"

8D:P

Yep! That was classic! Now just imagine what would happen if Duchess smiled. ;)8D
But it would be a waste if a musical episode was opted out. Grey Delisle singing would be the highlight for me but many of the other cast have proven their musical talents too. Phill Lamarr, Tom Kenny and Tara Strong have all delivered great musical performances in past shows. :D

I don't think she's physically capable of smiling. The closest I've seen is her grimacing while baring her teeth.>:(

Maybe if she got plastic surgery and wasn't such a grouch...8D

I'm not sure, that if in a band, keyboarders are even allowed to sing...But I may be wrong. :D

I'm still trying to figure out how Wilt could even play a keyboard with only one hand, since he'd only be able to play the notes at one end of the scale, the high end, unless the thing was programmed to simultaneously play the correct corresponding notes that he couldn't reach. I'd figure they'd use Wilt as the drummer, sort of an homage to the drummer from Def Leppard, who lost an arm in a car wreck and had a special drum kit built for him that he can play with his foot...but then, if this is going to be a Spinal Tap spoof, I wouldn't wish the gig of drummer for that band on anyone(except Bendy or Goofball)! Those of you who saw the movie will know what I mean, lol!

Although Wilt would be pretty cool as a drummer, he would still be able to play the keyboard. Earlier this year, I was asked to sing for The Black Country's junior keyboard ensemble at a performing arts gig that was going on the weekend I went to Germany. And while I was stood back stage, waiting to go on I watched the kids playing Radio Ga Ga, and one of the kids was only playing with his right hand. If he knew how to use a keyboard properly, Wilt would probably be able to play pretty effectively, after all, playing a keyboard is basically only using your right hand any way, and you only use your left hand for chords. He'd probably have a little trouble with piano though... But on a keyboard, playing along with a band, it'd be awesome.

Still, Wilt as drummer sounds brilliant, but I think I'd be pretty happy if he was playing a keyboard. I probably wouldn't shut up about the fact that Wilt played the same instrument as me XD

It would be funny if they had a running gag with the role of the drummer constantly switching between minor IF characters for one reason or another...

I always saw Wilt as a guitarist myself, he could use his other arm to adjust the knobs (not the correct term I'm sure, but my musical verbatim is quite limited).

Now that you say it, he COULD be one...:D

You have to be able to hold down the various strings at different points on the neck of the guitar, with different fingers, while strumming or plucking with the fingers on the other hand. Wilt would pluck or strum, but he wouldn't have any control over the duration of notes, and it would sound very flat. Again, now, with modern musical instruments, which have computer chips and whatnot, I guess a guitar could be programmed to automatically adjust the pitch and duration of notes for certain songs, requiring very little skill on the part of the guitarist, but Wilt strikes me as being more of a "purist" who'd appreciate more traditional music where the skill of the musician is important to the sound.

Ah, I figured there'd be something wrong with that. It happens often when I have NO IDEA what I'm talking about. But hey, if you never speak up, you'll never be right at all, so you'll probably be subject to plenty of my "opinions I should just shut up about" in the future. Still, a shame about the guitar thing. I think Wilt would look rockin' with one.

I just caught a brief preview of this ep on Cartoon Network. they showed the scene where the uhm, BAND(and I use that term loosely)was playing, with all of them wearing those white Vegas-era Elvis jumpsuits with the capes and all the rhinestones(except for Bloo, who was in makeup as Gene Simmons), and Wilt just sorta hitting this one note on the keyboard with his stump of a left arm, while wearing an expression that suggested, to quote Ford Prefect, he could have had more fun in a cat's litterbox. I somehow got the impression that Wilt, Ed, and Coco were not exactly keen on being in Bloo's band.

The episode has been available on iTunes for a while now, and having seen it, I have one thing to say... you will NOT be disappointed.

You've seen it..... from iTunes? You're kidding, right?

Knowing Bloo, he probably take all the credit for his band.

Nope, the 4 new episodes are on iTunes, I bought a Season Pass way before so I just saw them on my comp one day, and watched. They're all great episodes, and I think you'll agree, it was worth the wait.

Okay...that...was...AWESOME!

That was a cute episode =D I'm glad I didn't miss it :3 I'll put what I thought about it in spoiler tags though =D

That it was. Bloo was hilarious! Nowhere near enough Frankie for my liking but still a great episode. 8/10. 8D

Kumquats.

Smashing episode.Spoiler Below :up:

So that's what he said, haha I would have never guessed that D: Thanks for letting me know =)

I forgot to mention another favorite part of this episode, only because I've said it before.

Best line of the whole episode:

LOL!8D

So, who KNEW that Bloppy Pants was imagined by Smashing Pumpkins' lead singer, Billy Corgan?

I did not think it was possible for an episode to make me laugh harder or louder than I did last night, while watching "Bloo Superdude and the Potato of Power", but I was mistaken. We get the BEST impersonation of Ozzy EVER, the weirdest "Emo/Techno" band ever to sound like Primus(WHERE are Beavis and Butthead when you need 'em?), and quite honestly, a really catchy pop-rock tune that seriously ought to be on the radio! I mean, I would have figured that Fluffy Nutters was a rock chick; she WAS imagined by Paul Touttle, after all, and you can't get a better drummer than a cephlapod, though Yogi Booboo sorta surprised me. Bloppy Pants was the man, though...er, I mean the cat.

AND, for the first time EVER in the history of Foster's(to the best of my knowledge, anyway)...

The only disappointment was not hearing Frankie sing, nor Wilt, unless you count that one line from "Taco Fiesta", delivered in that rather-chilling baritone: Spoiler Below
Told y'all they sounded like Primus.

pitbulllady

OH MAN OH MAN. Another good addition to the show. I had no idea how good of a singer Bloppy Pants is, he rocked! So did the rest of the band "Pizza Party". I would love for a CD of them; honest. XD

But what I don't understand, that "Taco Fiesta" didn't change their outfits after Bloo wanted them to leave, since Wilt said they were "lame". XD

Yay Goo! :goo:

A+.

Hope it's the same way tomarrow and Thursday.
