5:30 - Ticket To Rod
6 PM - The Big Cheese
6:30 - The Little Peas (new episode!)
8:30 - Good Wilt Hunting

The new ep at 6:30 is through Zap2It, but the synopsis reads similar to The Big Cheese. Once I know something definite, I'll update this.

I love a good marathon. I hope they include at least a few of the shorts, too. :D

YAAAAY! I'm gonna' see if I can't catch a few of these eps, specifically Crime After Crime since I haven't seen it yet, the new ep (of course) and Good Wilt Hunting so I can tape it. (If one of the VCRs in my house will let me...)

I hope they don't do those stupid massive ad things that take up half the screen during this marathon. At the very least I hope they don't play sound effects that mute the show momentarily. :/

New episode? Yes!

I am so excited :] Thanks for the information!

I sure hope that WiltsAKgirl17 can finally catch Good Wilt Hunting! Hear that? Set the VCR, WAKG17!

A new episode in the marathon? FUN TIMES!

I hope the new episode is a Wilt-centric one; he really hasn't had a big role at all this season, although "Nightmare On Wilson Way" came close. We've had an Eduardo-centric episode, LOTS of Bloo-Mac episodes(more Bloo than Mac), one in which Frankie had a big role, but none for either Wilt or Coco.

pitbulllady

Yeah, definitely hoping for either a Wilt-centric or a Coco-centric ep. Eduardo's gotten a good chunk of eps, so why shouldn't those two? :< An ep focusing on the whole gang, like Room with a Feud, would be nice, too.

I'm assuming that the Thanksgiving premiere is part of the fifth season (which would be the final episode of Season 5). Looks like I'll be recording this one. :)

Is there really only one eppie left? I would think there'd be two. That's kind of sad. Exciting to see another new eppie coming, though. But I don't think I'll be able to watch much (if any) of the marathon. I do plan however to watch the Macy's T-Day Parade, since I hear the Foster's float will once again make an appearance. I'm wondering if they'll do the same act, or a different one. Either way, it'll still be fun to see. :bloosmirk:

The Friday afterwards, A Lost Claus plays at 8 AM and 5 PM.

I don't think the new eppie will be a Wilt- or Coco-centric episode... :(

The Little Peas episode description from TvGuide:

The gang gets locked out of the house by a new security system, so Peas must discover how to open the door.

First off, who the heck is Peas?
Secondly, this ep is definitely connected to The Big Cheese. Might have been planned since Season Four, or maybe it's some IF called Peas telling a story with him/her replacing Cheese à la Better Off Ed. (Probably not, they wouldn't have this episode right after that one in airing order.)

That's really odd that they'd make an episode that is an almost-exact copy of a previous one, and I really have to wonder at the authenticity of that episode. That synopsis sounds disturbingly like something I'd find on Wikipedia.org.

pitbulllady

So, at least this time, its not the whole home's residents, but just the gang.

Maybe the security system has its own mind...>_>

But either way, I'm willing to give it a chance. It's probably subject to change, and you shouldn't judge an episode by its description. :D

I hate marathons on holidays. :(

I'm never able to watch them due to family functions. I hope I can at least catch the new episode and Good Wilt Hunting.

The first two airings of about a bazillion...not counting the on demand.

Oh well. If that summary's right, then it looks like we're getting an ep that focuses on the whole gang, like I mentioned before, which would also be nice. :3

Urgh... I just hope Cheese isn't in this ep.

You and me both; if he is, I hope he's a little more low-key than usual.

If he is in the episode... I just hope his role will be like it was in Infernal Slumber, his only other good role besides Mac Daddy.

Or even The Big Picture for that matter, a cameo.

Wow! A Fosters' marathon. I may have a chance to watch it. I also can't wait the new episode on that day, "The Little Peas". Judging by the episode summary, I hope Cheese isn't in this one, I hope see Goo in this episode seen we seen her once in Season Five.

Did anyone see the commercial for this marathon?

I think they showed like... 3 seconds of the new ep, but I could be wrong.

We have some changes, noted in Italics.

7 AM - Cuckoo For Coco Cards
7:30 - Emancipation Complication

Remember, check with Zap2It.com like I did.

Aww... Thanks for thinking of me, pbl! That, on top of wathcing The Ant Bully right now, really made me happy!

Alas, we have no VCR. (I think some higher power is plotting against me so that I can never see the ONE episode I'm DYING to see!) I'll try to catch it at 10 or 8:30-- that'd be about 9 or 7:30 AK time. Maybe if I bribe my parents, they'll let me watch it.

CN's schedule on their site confirms the changes. Thanks for the heads up.

Can you go buy a VCR? I mean, they're dirt cheap now, since most people have gotten DVD players. Wal-Mart has Sanyo VCR's now for $28.00, and if I wanted to see something that badly, I'd sure find a way. I know where you are it might be harder to find things, but not impossible. Try to convince your parents that they really need to get a VCR, since you will want to watch this movie more than once, trust me.

pitbulllady

I doubt that I'll be able to buy a VCR. Sadly... I can imagine that they are extremely cheap, but in Alaska, most everything's horribly expensive because of shipping/air frieght. Although you are right that it's not impossible (Look at my personal text, for cryin' out loud!)

Man... $28 for a VCR... People spend about that much on two footlong Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwiches at SubWay! (Not counting extra cheese, etc.) I miss the Lower 48 so much sometimes...

And I KNOW I'd want to watch GWH more than once. I'll see what I can do. Maybe if I forfeit my beloved laptop for a whole week, they'd let me watch it. * crosses fingers *

Glad to help you out, Ccook50! :cheese:

Sadly, we always go to my aunts for Thanksgiving (too early I MIGHT ADD) and it bugs me because every year I keep missing the Fosters marathon. I was able to catch some of it last year when I spent thanksgiving with my uncle in Minnesota.

Which upsets me because its one of the few marathons I really try to make time to watch. I'm probably gonna have to timer tape the new episode only because as much as I want to see some of the old episodes again, I mainly want to make sure I see the new one.

Aw man! My cable got the episodes wrong last night. Cuckoo for Coco Cards was on this morning and I slept through it because I thought another ep was showing. D: I did catch Land of the Flea though, which I haven't seen before. Also managed to tape Good Wilt Hunting~ (Albeit with all the commercials, but oh well.)

Can't wait to see the new ep tonight. %3

Speaking of the new ep Comcast's showing that The Big Cheese is simply playing twice in a row. Guess even they thought "The Little Peas" sounded like a clone of TBC...

That threw me off. XD I was wondering why The Big Cheese was showing twice... Guess they made a mistake. It's happened before. (Like last night. *mumblegrumble*)

EDIT: WOAH, I almost missed the ep! O___o I thought they really WERE showing the same ep at first when the ep started the same way as The Big Cheese...

Guys, the "official" episode thread is here:

http://www.fosters-home.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2735

No no no, please don't do the ep discussion here! No one will be able to find a discussion for this ep if its in this thread. Please use the appropriate thread.

Took care of it. ;)

I didn't get to watch much of it. Only the last few episodes. Including "Nightmare on Wilson Way", which was the first time I saw it in 2D. I feel like I need to record it again now without the double lines and more vibrant color. :scribble:

I got to see several episodes, including GWH for like, the tenth time(it still hasn't gotten "old"), in which I noticed all the windmills for the first time, which definately make that part with the old farmer seem like TX or OK. And I noticed the John Deere cap the farmer wore for the first time, and a parody of the Miller High Life beer billboards in Wilt's old 'hood.

pitbulllady

*raises hand* Also a Comcast subscriber.

Guys, it's official: I have FINALLY seen GWH! :D YAY! "XD" doesn't even begin to cover it!!!!!!

Story time (I'll try to keep this short): After watching the Macy's parade on TV, I was scrolling through the on-screen TV guide dealy-whopper for CN to see when GWH was on. just as I'd assumed and predicted, it was on from 7:30 to 8:30. I asked my parents if I could watch it, and they said that if I was good (read: not mouthing off) and cheerful all day, I could.

So I tried my hardest to be good and cheerful all day. There were several times when I could feel my cheerfulness ready to slip, but I reminded myself, Darn it, be cheerful-- "Good Wilt Hunting" is on the line! (Hey, whatever kept me from losing my cool...)

Well, 7:30 rolls around and my dad's flipping it over to CN. Would you believe my parents actually watched it with me?! It was great because we were laughing at it together and whenever they asked me a question ("Why does he [Wilt] have only one arm?" "If he's imaginary, how can he be playing basketball?" "Will the little yellow one who sang in the parade be in this one?"), I could show off my knowledge. (My answers: "You'll see later." "In the show, once you create your imaginary friend, anyone can see it." "Don't think so, Dad.")

At 8:30, I was happy and satisfied and I had introduced my parents to what could very well be a new family fav. (It's a stretch, but hey, I can dream, can't I?) My dad said he liked Nina and Frankie the best. (Cassini, you may have competition. Although I highly doubt it-- again, it's a bit of a stretch and Dad may have been joking when he said it.)

So yeah. I finally got to see GWH, so I can go on with my life in peace. Very good-- definately my new favorite episode.

Yay, WiltsAK! That's awesome! Glad you loved it, and now I officially welcome you to the club of "GWH Lovers". :D It's also cool to hear the parents also enjoyed it. Our band it growing, lol!
