It doesn't say it'll be an actual crossover between shows, but a string of new episodes from different shows sharing an "alien invasion" storyline... though it seems that the invasions on the other shows is chronologically linked to the events of the Foster's episode. Though that doesn't necessarily mean we'll see the Foster's characters on the other shows.
Cartoon Network obviously created this 'major event' to spark interest in viewers and expand the popularity of the shows, without any regard to it's plausibility in the Foster's universe. I'm fine with that as long as it doesn't negatively affect the show's quality. I really don't want to see Foster's superb writing and endearing characters dumbed down to fit in with the irritating juvenility and stupidity of CN's current public image.
And I'm wondering: will there be other new Foster's episodes throughout May... or are we only getting one new episode because of the invasion event, meaning that we'll have to wait even more for the rest of the season?
