I hate Darrick Bachman's episodes.

There, I said it. The plots for his scripts always seem to be a sorry excuse to have Bloo obnoxiously screeching in an insanely loud voice for 22 minutes, and the first half of this episode did nothing but confirm that. The second half did have some moments (the FTV montage, the spinaltastic Blue Sabbath Experience presentation), but overall it just felt like the corniest thing Foster's ever done, complete with everyone happily dancing in a stage to the tune of the same song we've already heard five times and then nicely celebrating afterwards. And the final "joke" was just the most predictable, yawn-inducing thing ever. I love practically every episode Craig and crew produce, but the credit "Written by Darrick Bachman" always seems to indicate an exception. Which is a shame, since this was the new episode I was looking forward to the most.

I'm glad everybody else enjoyed it, though. I simply couldn't.
