I would dissagree with most of this myself. I have not been keeping great track of this thread so sorry if I am a bit out of context.

I find Cheese a good character, He is not one dimentional unless you think all 2 and three year old toddlers are one dimentional (which may be true hence your opinion) I think cheese has a personality of a toddler, over the memorial day holiday we had house guest that included a 3,4 and 5 year old on top of our 2 year old. and there was many cheese moments. ("I wanta go to the Falls", "But You said, You said", "I want a Crabby patty[while fiddling with an empty bun, and eating grilled chicken], "WWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAA"[fo no reason]

As for goo, I like her, she is one dimentional in the aspect of the steriotypical overactive fast talking kid, but she is fun. I am not going to talk more on goo right now since I do not feel like butrassing my points.

But what I actually disagreed with the most was the use of cheese as a Plot device, if anyone is a plot device (in the maner you described/paraphrased) I would say that that would be CoCo. Who actually as I said in a different thread abou a month ago never really had her own LimeLight. So in essence they have been leaving her as a one dimentional character, and then they use her eggs to conviently move plots along by producing the needed item in the nick of time.


Either way back on topic, I liked this episode, I thought it was great that Jackie finnaly showed his personality, Taking Madam Foster to court over a Sandwitch that was not his, was not made by him, But it had his name on it(by Him). And he won not only a sandwitch but a soda and a bag of chips.
...[ more to say but I am a bit distracted today.]

My main issue with Cheese has always been that he is a completely one-dimensional character, and that doesn't sit well with a character-driven show like Foster's, where a lot of the enjoyment and humour comes from getting to know the personalities and watching them react to different situations. I know a lot of people don't like Goo, and she can admittedly be overbearing, but I'd take her over Cheese any day, because she is at least an actual character with some depth and identity. Cheese on the other hand, as Ub3rD4n hinted at, plays more like a plot device masquerading as a character, merely a construct that the writers use to create lunatic gags and situations. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, but it means that there's nothing inherently interesting about him as a character; the onus therefore shifts entirely to the writers to give him something crazy, interesting and funny to do, by way of compensation. Neither "Mac Daddy" nor "The Big Cheese" would make my Top 20 episodes, but at least they both found imaginative ways for Cheese to cause trouble; by contrast, "Cheese A Go-Go" had him running around screaming the same two words for 22 minutes, and for me that just doesn't cut it.
