Best Overall Episode: I'm torn. Either Store Wars or Adoptcalypse Now. Both cover the basics of how Foster's functions and gives pretty much everyone something to do. And they're funny. Very funny.
Worst Episode: Make 'em Up Pals. God, what a mess that was. Lauren Faust was so hurt by the reaction: "It's just a joke! It wasn't real!" The opposite was true, it was all too real.
Favorite Episode: Partying is Such Sweet Soiree. Mac spent the first season as a somewhat bland voice of reason, and Bloo was starting to wear on some for his egomania. This episode changed everything. Mac goes psycho, and Bloo, in his strange way, is the responsible one. There aren't any real tearjerker moments in this show, but Bloo covering Mac with the blanket is strangely touching to me. Maybe it's because Bloo looks so worried, and Mac looks so irritated, like, "I can't believe you did this to me!" Add in Wilt's dance contest, Coco's love affair, Eduardo on a tricycle, and Herriman's fridge saga, and it's almost perfect. I just wish Frankie was more of a presence.
Least Favorite: Make 'em Up, Bendy, and Europe.
Best Written: Mac Daddy. Bloo's sense of betrayal in the first act, and admission that he does care about his "brother" in the third is beautifully handled. Cheese is handled perfectly, an annoying yet harmless and unthreatening little brother.
Worst Written: My So-Called Wife is kind of...boring.
Favorite Bloo moment: Orlando Bloo invades the date.
Favorite Mac moment: The sugar high.
Favorite Frankie moment: Smile. Hold up the disk. Oops, disks. Got that rabbit. That, or her reactions to Prince Charming.
Favorite Wilt moment: Leading the hunt in Blooooo. "They've been out of business for years!" "Now that's really sucking!"
Favorite Ed moment: "What's that, Baby Paco? Oh, you musn't say Wilt is estinky, even if it's truuuuue!"
Favorite Coco moment: Fussing over her weight in "The Big Picture."
Favorite Herriman moment: "...said Funny Bunny to sweet little girl!"
Favorite Madame Foster moment: Cooking It.
