Make Believe It Or Not Episode Discussion 11/17/06

[kageri]

Who wrote this episode, anyway? It feels like someone other than the usual suspects did.

Hey ORD, you're entitled to your opinions. I happen to be one of the people who like to discuss on deeper levels (obviously), and if you don't like that sort of thing, that's fine. That is, however, why you don't get involved with that sort of discussion, right?

Yeah in some ways it did....especially with the hotly debated scenes. Some of it was classic Foster's humor though, so it may have been a team effort (as most usually are) using writers with different ideas.

You know I never even thought of that. That could possibly explain alot, because no Foster's episode ever felt THIS weird before.

You may be onto something.

I too find it hard to believe there's so much anger just over a door being shut on Mac.

But hey, remember? It's a cartoon! =O

...

I'm so gonna get stoned for this.

It definitely wasn't written by Lauren Faust or Darrick Bachman, I can tell you that much. I don't remember the name, but I think it was the person's first episode.

I'm surprised nobody's brought up the "Ed Baker" gag - at one point Eduardo calles himself Ed Baker. Ed Baker is one of the FHFIF storyboarders! (Of course I have a thing for storyboarders so maybe not many people noticed that.)

edit: sorry, messed up on the writer. It was Kirk Thatcher.

One more edit: I looked him up on IMDB and it appears he's done a lot of writing for the Muppets, if its the same guy.

[One Radical Dude]

Yeah, I forgot to mention the Ed Baker gag, but I did recognize it at the time.

I could ask, if that's the case. Chances are, it probably IS the same Kirk Thatcher that worked with the Muppets.

I'm suprised that a lot of people overlooked a few things while this whole "Bloo dosen't care about Mac in danger!/He was in panic!" [female dog]ing (Sorry! ) discussion was going on:

1. We get to see inside Goo's house for the first time! Sure, her parents are still neither seen nor heard, we still see their kitchen, bathroom, and Goo's bedroom, which is a nice touch! I also notice she keeps her braids on when going to bed.

2. More insight into the laws of physics in the Fostersverse! :bloogrin Go on, I know you'll tell me "It's a cartoon, of course the laws of physics can be defyed." but come on, at least it tells us somehow that things can effect IF's if imagined hard enough (Coco's sleeping bomb, the time stop thing)!

And, answering the question on why there's loads of new writers pouring in? Simple, because most of the main writers were busy on GWH, and production of it was probably weaved into all the other episodes this season.

And an Emmy winner, too for "World Wide Wabbit"!

Here's an interview I found with Thatcher: http://movies.ign.com/articles/035/035854p1.html

Kirk has surely done a lot of work. A model painter on E.T. and Star Wars, director of Muppets, actor/song writer on Star Trek, writer on Foster's... :bloogrin
