1. Blooo. That. Was. So. Boring. If I wanted to see a five year old wipe snot on the walls for twenty-two minutes, I would go babysit my neighbor's kid. Seriously, there was like, nothing funny in this episode, and I hate vacuum cleaners.

2. House of Bloo's. This is the pilot equivalent of foot odor. I'm glad I didn't see this until after I'd already watched most of the series.

3. Camp Keep a Good Mac Down. What was the point of that? Nothing... happened. I know cause I don't even remember most of it, except for Herriman getting all twitterpated, which was creepy.

4. Foster's Goes to Europe. This is stressful to watch. D: I like Eurotrish though. I'mma goooooing to Euuuuurope!

5. Eddie Monster. Eh. Really boring. And I don't like Eduardo.

Why does everyone hate Bloooooooo? The Ghost Busters reference was ROTFLOL, IMHO.

Yeah I mean honestly, I really got a kick out of that episode. I thought it was a great horror movie parody and despite what any Frankie fan says, I LOVED seeing her as the "cliche" horror actress/victim type character.

It just worked so well with her and the whole chasing sequence with Bloo and Wilt and the others Ghostbuster style was nicely done. I really enjoyed this episode.

My 5 least fave (no particular order)
-Blooooo
-The big leblooski
-Everyone knows it was bendy
-Bloo done it
-Make believe it or not
meh... there are more, but I only put 5 because thats what the thread is about.

Kale · 03-03-2007, 10:45 AM

Blooooo
Where There's A Wilt There's A Way
The Big Cheese
Who Let The Dogs In
Land Of The Flea

Those are in no real order. The first three I just found boring in comparison to the rest of the show, and the last two, because I'm not too keen on Edwardo centered episodes.

I found this thread and its more upbeat cousin, "Top 10 Fave Episodes," quite helpful for a relative newcomer like me, so I decided to share my thoughts while moving the thread up the list (maybe so other new people could find these more easily). Just today I finished watching every episode of Foster's out there, so I could judge all more fairly.

Note: #1 in this case is my least favorite, and #5, the most tolerable of the 5. Also, next to the title, I put the writer(s) name, just for reference.

1. I Only Have Surprise for You - Tim McKeon
If there was a time I felt silly and embarrassed for watching Foster's, this was it. Mac felt totally out of character (he's usually nice), and I don't remember him being "crazy" on sugar, either. The plot was rather shallow and predictable, and the gags, other than maybe one, of the past Mac birthdays, weren't all that funny to me.

2. Foster's Goes to Europe - T. McKeon
Ugh. The sweet, caring, Famous-Foster's-Cookies-giving Madame Foster, filching tickets from an 8-year-old... riiiiiight. It's not like McKeon was a new writer. Plus, there was so much unused potential in Eurotrish, whose face they figuratively shoved in the mud and left her there to dry. Despicable end credit "gag" too.

3. Jackie Khones and the Case of the Library Crook - Darrick Bachman
Another episode where, in my opinion, the writer didn't fully use a character to his full potential. I view Khones as crafty, witty, and cunning, but he just kinda sat there for most of this episode--either in the toilet, in a toy car (which had Mac driving it), reading a book in the library, or floating in the pool. OK, maybe the last one wasn't his fault.

4. The Little Peas - Darrick Bachman, L. Faust
Plain old boring, topped with a re-used plotline that kinda left me with the taste of old, chewed-up gum in the mouth. Peas truly had good intentions, but the humor was seriously lacking.

5. Imposter's Home for Um Make 'em Up Pals - C. Lewis
Great concept, but awful delivery. Yes, Frankie is only human, makes mistakes, and is willing to admit it, but the writer pushed the envelope so hard, he pulverized the letter. Comedy, in one of its purest forms, uses hyperbole to make the audience laugh, but man, was this extreme. To put a positive spin to all this, it really goes to show the strength of Frankie's character for not breaking under all that pressure and going psycho on everybody. In the end, this episode had more creativity and effort (but of the wrong kind for the series) put into it, which led me to rank it "higher" among my least favorite episodes.

Shelltoon · 04-21-2008, 06:37 PM

These are in a particular order

5) The Big Cheese
I understand that Cheese is a very popular character, but this episode just further proves to me that Cheese is only good in small doses. All this episode dealt with was Cheese screaming, and while Blooooo was a screamer episode, that was entertaining. This episode... wasn't entertaining in the slightest to me.

4) Foster's Goes to Europe
I have to say... this episode went absolutely nowhere. Not only did I have trouble sticking around to watch this episode, I could not stand Madame Foster breaking her character like that. I've never known her to be a thief, maybe a little kooky, but she's supposed to be a big-hearted lady, and this was not her.

3) Cheese A Go-Go
Once again, further proof Cheese is only good in small doses. All Cheese does is run around saying "Gotta go" over and over and over and over until it's burned into your memory and you can't get it out of there simply because you hear it constantly. This episode was so annoying I can't bring myself to watch it again.

2) I Only Have Surprise For You
Just like Foster's Goes to Europe, somebody goes horribly out of character. This time, it's Mac, and I've never seen him act like this. To see Mac being mean spirited and a jerk made me think "He's such a nice boy, he'd never do that." Seeing it happen on the show... kinda hurt me inside as much as I love the character.

1) The Little Peas
Why did we have to The Big Cheese? The Big Cheese was painful enough once, now we have to watch a small, pea sized character I have not had time to attach to, for 22 minutes. It may have had some awesome backgrounds, but Peas was a character I could not attach myself to in ANY way. Also, why did Frankie just lose it like that and call herself a loser? Didn't Darrick Bachman watch Imposter's and see how strong she really is?? This episode is entirely useless to the show, and the episode it's revisiting.

Where is Imposter's? Well, thanks to The Little Peas, I've developed a new appreciation for that episode, because it at least has moments.

Imancipation Complication was just so boring. I'd have to think before deciding the other four.

jekylljuice · 07-10-2009, 12:11 PM

Emancipation Complication probably wouldn't make my list, though it did make me kind of relieved that they didn't try doing elaborate song numbers more often. On the whole, and though Foster's did have a wonderfully catchy main theme tune, coming up with decent and memorable original songs just wasn't one of their strong points.
