Only in Smithers' case there is an additional twist...ie: that was all a dream.

Correct on both counts, the fact I chose Scrappy (One of the Baby Friends...kind of) as the "culprit" was a nod to the ending of the Simpsons parody when it turned out that Maggie was the shooter. (It's been over ten years so that really isn't a huge spoiler anymore.)

Of course such an episode will never ever be necessary, as the writers would never have Mr. H do anything as evil as JR Ewing or C. Montgomery Burns.

Or does something "unfair" to Bloo who blows it out of proportion.

Is that seriously an episode!?! *Crosses fingers*
(In reference to "WSMH?")
The unused endings would be great as a DVD extra, and they'll probably do it.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no it's not real. And the chances of a Foster's episode involving gunplay (actual gunplay, not the cartoonish bugs bunny, shot one second...totally fine the next.) coming to light even if the show wasn't ending would be very slim indeed.

Yeah, that was just a bad joke on my part. In addition to the points taranchula raised, I think that if Foster's made such a move they would probably suffer some severe lascerations from the online masses for ripping off the Simpsons. The fact that the Simpsons lifted the original concept from Dallas is kind of irrelevant.

House of Bloo's is on at 4 PM Eastern tomorrow (Saturday May 10th), CN

They're also having this Mother's day special (which they called "Yo Mama's day"... I'm not joking.) It's a "marathon" from noon-6PM (Eastern) of Foster's interspersed with Billy and Mandy.

all times eastern
2 PM Neighbor Pains
2:30 Cookie Dough
4:30 Cheese a go-go, Give pizza a chance
5:00 Say it isn't sew
5:30 Something old, something bloo
7:00 Bloo Tube (not part of "marathon." It's the latest episode)

Guess that while aren't any "Mother's day"-related episodes at all in Foster's, the schedulers decided to make it "Grandmother's day" instead...

Honestly, Cheese a Go-go should've been replaced with Infernal Slumber. That's the closest "Mother's Day" episode, I think. Mac's mom thinks he cleaned the apartment!

I'm hoping to get some more end credit sequences during the marathon; they sometimes actually show them during marathons.

Bump. Again. I can't decide where to put this, I guess here's the best spot other than starting a whole new thread, but I don't see a reason for doing that. At least it involves the last few episodes to air.

Steve Hulett over at the The Animation Guild blog visited CN studios in Burbank today, and posted a bit about Foster's (yay!).

It's quieter and less crowded than in days of yore, but there are projects stirring and series being done.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is wrapping up its six year run, completing its 78 episodes toward the end of the year. (If my spies are correct, animation wraps up October, the rest a couple of months after)

*sigh* I'm still very sad to see more confirmation that the show is ending. I guess somewhere in the depths of my heart lies a hope that maybe, just maybe there's a chance it will continue on somehow. But my mind knows otherwise. I'm still always happy to see it mentioned though. Just thought I'd share.
