I saw it and I frankly to me it was more like "Yeah......what's next". I mean I don't mean to sound like a wet blanket over this but really, I didn't find this episode to go above the call of duty and provide anything amazing. To me, this was an average episode and above all a very WEIRD episode at that.

The whole idea Bloo would eagerly dump Mac to go for a quicker and faster means to the ride makes perfect sense, as does Foster's utterly odd obsession of spending every waking hour and second in that sewing store. I felt her warped view of the "buddy system" to be a very fitting ironic story foil for Bloo.

Truly he had no idea what Madame Foster said or felt when the whole buddy thing came up. I think Bloo had some actually clever escape routes with the sewing the balloon, the crosswalk (love that duck family gag ), and creating a pillow cover for the store bell so Madame Foster wouldn't hear him leaving.

Shacking up Jackie and Wilt was just plain funny, knowing there both voiced by Phil Lamarr just made their bizarre interactions all the more interesting to see, especially when Jackie mocked Wilt "is THAT okay?". I also enjoyed Mac's little roller coaster impression, it was a weird and interesting little thing to see.

But for me, this episode suffered the same thing that actually made "Cheese a go-go" and "Buck swaps here" good: entertainment. This episode really just wasn't that funny. It wasn't exciting, or story driven or funny or crazy fun, it was just....average. I wouldn't call this a real gut buster in the least sense.

Now i know not every episode is supposed to be utterly hilarious, I just didn't find this entertaining in much of any kind of value, it was just an okay episode for me. I mean sure the "wa-wa" reference joke was clever and Bloo being screaming and squealing in the beginning was good for a chuckle or two.

But all in all, this was nothing superb or amazing to me. Go-go and Buck kept my interest for much longer and were alot funnier and interesting to actually watch, this one just seemed like a semi-clever joke that failed to produce humor that was nothing more then ordinary stuff.
