I freaked out when I heard the title. I'm both dreading and really looking foward to watching it.
This has been my favorite still-running TV show for nearly three years now (I didn't have cable before that..), and I have mixed feelings about it. I'm thrilled that we're finally getting new episodes, but I really don't want it to end. I hope they do it well. What I want is an ending that sparkles with the creativity and cleverness of the rest of the show, but has a certian finality. Something like the last strip of Calvin and Hobbes, where the boy and his stuffed tiger ride off into the sunset, friends forever. That would be sad, but satisfying.
If it any other way, I may start crying. I don't want Bloo and Mac to be seperated forever. I wouldn't be able to stand it.

It didn't really sink in for me until I saw the ads. I have to say I agree with those who said that CN cramming all the final eps into a single day was a tacky move. (Not to mention the terrible pressure I'm going to be under to screencap all of them asap! )

I have to admit the question of whether or not Terrence will actually appear in the final eps at all is as pressing to me as how the series will end. Mock me if you will. But I've been waiting a loooong time for him to come back. Boo hoo, Frankie or Wilt was in so-and-such an ep for only 53 and a half seconds. MY favorite character has been gone for SEASONS.

Haha, ditto. Though I've long since had to accept that my own such favourite character was never intended to be anything more than a one-shot villain, and I'm pretty certain that we won't be seeing him again. It was always fun speculating about potential opportunities for him to return, though. And his legacy will always live on in me.

I'd, personally, die if it turned out that something went wrong and this ending won't be as spectacular as a show like FHfIF deserves. My bestfriend and I have been preparing for this the second we saw those commercials on TV, so we've planned this entire day out to do nothing but watch the show. Our fridge is packed with snacks, I've got enough koolaid that even Koolaid Man would be jealous, and there's a nest of pillows set up infront of my television-box which is also set to alarm when the Marathon starts.

I wish I could see Duchess again.. or Bendy. They may have been sorta evil, but they're the sort of friends I'd most likely have created as a child. Actually, I hope we see all the characters we can at least once more before the show ends..

I.. I think that would leave me perpetually heartbroken.. but what if, perhaps, Bloo stays with Mac forever? It's not impossible, and what if he had kids? Bloo could be their friend. UGH! Now I must know! The suspense is killing me and it hasn't even started..

OMG

The ending was PERFECT.

I'll write more later when I'm coherent.

Wow, what a really nice finale. It wasn't super elaborate or anything extremely Earth shattering but it was sweet, it was cute, it was funny and it was most appropriate. I kind of had a feeling that Mac wasn't going to be moving to anywhere too far away and it was really great to see all the Fosters gang trying so hard to do nice things for Mac, giving him all of that stuff.

I love the continuing I repeat CONTINUING support of Mac's love crush for Frankie in this episode, also the other hints dropped in the Dare episode. This finale was made much more effectively with all of the 5 final episodes being aired back to back. Bloo acknowledging his own jerky nature around Mac and I thought the cookie scene with Madame Foster was hilarious.

Funniest bit I thought was when Mr. Herriman admitted he forgot to mention the last detail to Bloo good final jab bunny man. Cheese being permanently accepted just felt right, it just felt like "why hadn't they done this before?" Nice little closing animation at the end.

All in all this was a lovable, fantastically cute and enjoyable finale. Craig and Lauren made a masterpiece of an animated series and it feels so good to see this series ending on such a sweet, superb high note. "Destination Imagination" was perfect enough but this just adds to the quality work of the final 5 episodes and the final send off. Bravo, great job you guys.

You have made many fans (or at least for sure this one) VERY happy !

When they said Foster's was going to go out with a bang, they damn well meant it.

Funny, I expected it to be all sad and depressing but it actually wasn't that different from any other episode. Overall, it was great. A great ending to an even better show.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Craig, Lauren, and the rest of the Foster's staff for making such a great show. I wish them well.

This. Was. Freakin'. AWESOME.

I really loved how Bloo made an actual true effort to not be a fat jerk all day long, and all the of the continity nods just mad it more epic (all the past adventures and all the characters in one place)

The reason why I gave this a B+ is because I had the gut feeling Mac wasn't moving at all and

the Cheese twist ending was really lame. I did like the house fading out, though...


My favorite gag has to be Mac's face when he's with Frankie and says "Omigawshshe'sgonnakissme!!"

And the pictures of Mac and Bloo in the credits was just icing on the cake.

CHEESE? Moving into Foster's? "Now we're brother roomates!"

NOW THAT'S JUMPING THE SHARK! (I kid, I kid...) All the references from past episodes, seeing all the old friends together (even Old Man Rivers) in that room, and the credit farewell. Craig and Lauren, I salute you!
