Um I'm sorry, but which part if you're going to start a discussion thread like this, it's only fair that you give your opinions first before asking anyone else to do so. implies the topic is worthless or considered spam?

If I truly believed that (Which for the record, I don't.) I would have come right out and said so.

All I am doing is trying to make sure is that the rules are being followed, and yes starting discussion threads without contributing to them yourself is considered against the rules of the forum.

So what, if you haven't seen every single solitary second of Foster's from the day it debuted back in 2004 to today. That doesn't mean that your opinions are any less valid then any one else on the board. And we would still like to hear them regardless.

(We might be able to find out some pretty interesting stuff, like why did you stop watching in the first place? And what made you start watching again? Which are valid points worth sharing. )

So like stop being so defensive and just share man.

[The Huntsman]

I've answered what questions I could, and even then my answers are vague. It's the best that I could do.

I guess I'll go with that pink bear thing that has bat wings. Reminds me of something straight out of disgaea, but I haven't seen that character in quite some time. Not sure if it has a name, or what it even is.

You mean Mabel Licorice?

Yeah, she's cute, but she's actually a squirrel. Since her name hasn't been mentioned in the show, she's credited as "Pink Squirrel Friend", and is voiced by the talented Grey DeLisle..

Yeah, that’s the one. As I’ve said, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a lot of the episodes, so I was going on a vague image that I managed to remember. At any rate, thanks for posting that.

Forgive me if I'm off here, but are you sure that the "Pink Squirrel Friend" doesn't refer to Fluffer Nutter? I mean, she fits that description, and although she has been referred to by name in the show, I don't remember hearing it until "Cuckoo for Coco Cards". But maybe I'm wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.


Anyhow, my answers...

Which episode of the entire series do you believe is the best?

Good Wilt Hunting (I don’t have much of a problem lumping the specials in with the more regular stories, since I basically think of them as extended episodes). Wilt, a supremely endearing and interesting IF if ever there was one, had long been begging for his turn in the limelight (true, he did have “Where there’s a Wilt, there’s a way, but it was a little too brief and superficial for my liking) and this episode finally answered some of the burning questions surrounding his character and answered them more than satisfactorily, whilst still leaving other things open-ended enough to generate discussion (how did Wilt survive between leaving Jordan and coming to Foster’s, for example). That it’s by turns funny and touching and has a great story certainly doesn’t hamper it.

Which episode of the first season do you believe is the best?
Seeing Red - Red is a flower child after my own heart, and Terrence is always good for laughs. Another thing I like about this episode is how it captures Bloo’s softer and more sensitive side. Too bad that Red didn’t become a regular player, but hey, there’s still time for him to make a second appearance.

Which episode of the second season do you believe is the best?

This is much more of a toughie, given that there are a few Season 2 episodes with equally strong things for me to like about them - namely, the Big LaBlooski, the Sweet Stench of Success, Cookie Dough, Frankie My Dear and Partying is Such a Sweet Soiree. But if pressed, I’ll tip the hat to TBLB, for the cameo appearance from a certain trio of Coen Bros characters, and TSSOS, since it’s currently the only place to find my favourite human/villain/one-off character.

Which episode of the third season do you believe is the best?

Room with a Feud - a relatively simple premise that worked a treat, and involved all four leading IFs (and Jackie Khones ) very nicely.

Which episode of the fourth season do you believe is the best?

The aforementioned Good Wilt Hunting…but if you’d like a little variation in my answers, then Bus the Two of Us. I laughed until my intestines ached.

Which episode of the fifth season do you believe is the best?

I’m not sure if I’m really qualified to answer this one, since I’ve only actually seen three episodes thus far - but of the three, Schlock Star quite easily claims the crown.

Which of the five seasons do you believe is the best?

So far, it’s a toss-up between seasons 2 and 4. But then I haven’t yet seen enough of Season 5 to make a sound judgement.

Which of the special episodes do you believe is the best?

Three guesses. And the first two don’t count.

Which of the shorts do you believe is the best?

Like many others here, there’s a special place in my heart for Drawing Bored - but at the same time, there’s also something I find strangely cool and alluring about that Coconuts short. "Coco-Nuts-Arr-Fa-lingfrom...."

Which human character do you believe is the best?

Well, it’s just a personal preference, but I am totally honest when I say Kip Snip. True, he only appeared in one episode and we haven’t heard a peep out of him since, but I reckon he still fits the criteria. See, as much as I identify with Wilt’s insecurities and admire his steadfast desire to put others above himself and always do the right thing, the truth is…I love a bad boy. Kip owns.

Which Imaginary Friend do you believe is the best?

Wilt. What is there not to like about him? For starters he’s the perfect gentleman, his character design is simply beautiful and there’s always been a lot of depth and understatement from the beginning. Plus, I love how sweetly neurotic he is - I've had OCD for most of my teenage/twentysomething life, and his personal doubts and constant need to apologise are something I can really relate to, and I think it is portrayed really well...no small feat, given how frequently the media misses the mark when it comes to matters of mental and emotional health. Yay, Wilt.

Which “minor”, or background character, do you believe is the best?

I’ve already singled Kip out as my favourite minor character, but if you were thinking more along the lines of one of the supporting IFs who frequently show up in the backdrop of the house, then sweet little Crackers without hesitation. How anyone can slam eyeballs against that little darling and not want to pick him up and take him out for ice cream is beyond me.

[Ub3rD4n]

Okee dokes, let's see here...

What is your favourite episode?
That'd be Infernal Slumber

Which of the first season did you like most?
Berry Scary stands out as the best of that season overall, even though I love Red.

Which of the second season did you like most?
Frankie My Dear, a popular choice. The only second season ep to make my top 10.

Which of the thrid season did you like most?
Room With A Feud. My second favourite ep of all time.

Which of the fourth season....yada yada yada
As mentioned above, Infernal Slumber.

Which of the fifth season, etc
Affair Weather Friends, so far. I've only seen five eps of season five so far, so I'm even less certain of this than the rest of you.

Which is your favourite season?
Season four, so far. I see great potential for season five.....

Which is your favourite special episode?
The same as everyone else. There's really only been two special episodes, and this one really stands out.

Which of the shorts do you like most?
Haven't really seen many. Can't comment.

Which human character do you like most?
Hard to pick! They're all good, but I gotta say Frankie.

Which Imaginary Friend do you like most?
Wilt, to keep with my theme of giving the obvious answer.

Which minor character do you like most?I originally thought "Red!", but seeing as it has been brought up that Duchess is a supporting character, I'll go for her.

[Chaos Wielder]

Yay, surveys!

Which episode of the entire series do you believe is the best?

Oh, why must you tempt me?! Seriously, this show is filled with so many great episodes that it's very hard to choose just one, but if I was forced to choose one at gunpoint I guess I would go with "Good Wilt Hunting" as well (tv movies count, right?). I just thought it was extremely well-done by the Foster's crew since it answered so many questions about our favorite tall, red, basketball-playing imaginary friend...not to mention how the humor and tender moments balanced out quite nicely. If I could give an episode a perfect 10, this one would definitely deserve it.

Other honorable mentions would go to "A Lost Claus" (It would be my second pick, actually), "Frankie, My Dear" and "House of Bloos".

Which episode of the first season do you believe is the best?

This is another difficult choice since there are so many great episodes from this season. I think I will go with "House of Bloos", though, because it was a great way to start the series. It really gave us all a general idea of what the characters' personalities were like instead of just throwing in some random characters without any depth or personality almost as if we were expected to care about them regardless (a major problem I had when I watched the Squirrel Boy premiere last year, by the way. Yes, I tried to give this horrid show a chance! XP). It also had a slight sense of epicness that I don't see in many children's shows since Mac and Bloo had to go through a few life-changing experiences when you think about it (Mac was so used to having Bloo at home all the time and I'm sure that Bloo himself was used to this as well. You can't tell me that nothing changed for them when Mac had to take him to Foster's!).

Honorable mentions: "Store Wars", "World Wide Wabbit", "Berry Scary", "Adoptcalypse Now" and "Blooooo"

Which episode of the second season do you believe is the best?

Ah, another good season of Foster's. I think I'd give this one to "Frankie My Dear" basically for the same reasons as many others would. Plus, I liked how it looked into Frankie's love life and all of the supporting characters were hilarious. It was also the first time we ever got to see "Orlando Bloo", so how could I NOT love it?! XD

Honorable mentions go to "Partying is Such Sweet Soiree" since it would've come in a close third only behind the one I mentioned earlier and "Sweet Stench of Success", which would also make it into my honors list.

Which episode of the third season do you believe is the best?

I'm definitely going to give this one to "A Lost Claus". Like I said in another thread somewhere on here, this episode definitely had a major "Charlie Brown" vibe going in some areas and the humor was sublime, especially the Bob Marley gags. But what really got me was the touching message that was found in the episode. When Mac begins to lose faith in the idea of Santa Claus, but ends up keeping that faith when he gets what he secretly asked for at the end of the special (remember the underwear?! XD), I must say that deep down I believe that this was obviously representing the idea of never giving up hope or faith if you have a strong belief in what you are doing or feeling (whether that would be miracles or even a religious faith could be up to the viewer, I suppose). Sure, some of that was humorous, but I think it was meant to be a bit deeper at the same time.

Honorable mentions: "Eddie Monster", "Camp Keep a Good Mac Down", "One False Movie" and "Cuckoo For Coco Cards"

Which episode of the fourth season do you believe is the best?

Well, I would say "Good Wilt Hunting", but I'm going to go for something else to "spice things up". Instead I'm going to go for "Bus the Two of Us" simply because I found the humor to be really great in it.

My honorable mention goes to "Squeeze the Day" because I found it to be almost as funny as "BtToU".

Which episode of the fifth season do you believe is the best?

Well, this one is not going to be as accurate as the others because I still haven't seen all of the season five episodes yet! (I missed "Schlock Star" and "The Bloo Superdude and the Magic Potato of Power" since I was either doing other things or doing college work during the time they aired) However, so far I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and say that "Affair Weather Friends" is the best one I've seen so far. The episode was already enjoyable to begin with, but Berry's return was unexpected (although I probably should've seen the plot twist coming I actually didn't! It was a shocker to me! And was it just me, or was Berry, like, ten times as psychotic as she was in "Berry Scary"? ) and that made it all the more exciting for me.

Which of the five seasons do you believe is the best?

While I like all of the seasons of this show seasons one and three hold special places in my heart. I would probably pick season one over three, though, only because most of my favorite episodes happen to be from that season.

Which of the special episodes do you believe is the best?

"Good Wilt Hunting" for all of the reasons mentioned earlier.

Which of the shorts do you believe is the best?

I haven't seen all of these, so I'm not sure which one I'd go with yet, honestly.

Which human character do you believe is the best?

Sooo hard to choose since I think Frankie and Mac are nearly equals, but I think I'm going to go with Frankie only because I can relate to her a little more than I can Mac. But they're both pretty close and probably actually tie when it comes to how they're structured as characters.

Which Imaginary Friend do you believe is the best?

Wilt, of course! My reasons?...they're so obvious that I shouldn't even have to explain them.

Which “minor”, or background character, do you believe is the best?

I'd say Red, but I'm also starting to lean toward "Cherry"...uh...I mean Berry now, too! I guess I like both of them the same! Seriously, after Berry's crazy schemes in the latest episode I've started to wonder what exactly she was created for to begin with. We all know that IFs are usually created to be a "friend" to a child (and sometimes for even deeper reasons, as we found out in "Good Wilt Hunting" with Wilt's relationship with Jordan.), but what on earth could've happened that caused Berry to become such a rotten apple?

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Which episode of the entire series do you believe is the best?

Despite my overwhelming love for "Frankie my dear". I think "Store Wars" was probably their greatest episode ever created. It was a simple idea of having everyone getting lost in the mall and ti came out hilarious. All of the characters got a chance to be involved and it worked on SO many levels.

Bloo's whiny ass attitude and his classic "Rip off artist" have become unforgettable, not to mention the "cactus scene". I never get tired of seeing Bloo doing that .

Which episode of the first season do you believe is the best?

Like I said for the upper one, "Store Wars" a close 2nd is "Berry Scary" followed by "Bloooo!".

Which episode of the second season do you believe is the best?

"Frankie my dear". My reasons? Goes without saying .

Which episode of the third season do you believe is the best?

"Setting a president" SHOCK GASP! Another Frankie episode you say? Not only does it star my beloved red headed Frankie, but it was a great episode in general. Bloo was hilarious in his campaign for himself and especially for Mr. Herriman. Frankie really proved how capable she is and how well liked she is.

Which episode of the fourth season do you believe is the best?

This was hard because there were SO many good episodes in this season like "Infernal Slumber", "Bus the 2 of us" and "The Big Cheese". But in the end, "Squeeze the day" was freaking hilarious. Bloo and Mac's antics are beyond funny, their crazy screaming and goofy ideas is solid GOLD Fosters material.

Which episode of the fifth season do you believe is the best?

Even though the 5th season isn't done yet, and I missed the first few minutes of this episode, I think "The Bloo Superdude and The Magic Potato of Power" was the best. It just had so much going for it. So many weird inside jokes, costumes, and total weirdness. It was a blast. The characters never looked so awesome and funny.

Which of the five seasons do you believe is the best?

Season 4. It had the most top notch episodes running beside each other. It has the most number of best episodes than any other season if you ask me. Only one episode in there doesn't fit in my opinion, and that was the piece of crap "I only have surprise for you".

Which of the special episodes do you believe is the best?

Good Wilt Hunting, nothing can be said about it that really hasn't already been said.

Which of the shorts do you believe is the best?

Give pizza a chance.

Which human character do you believe is the best?

Do you even have to ask ?

Which Imaginary Friend do you believe is the best?

Eduardo. He's just so cute and so much fun to watch. His monster appearance, his crybaby nature and seeing him go crazy over the most bizarre things from mattress sales to potatoes.

Which ?minor?, or background character, do you believe is the best?

I'm tied on that one. I originally was gonna put George Mucas, I always liked slime monsters and he has a cool look to him despite the fact he's practically a mute, but after seeing "Affair weather friends" Berry has now totally floored me into reconsidering. So all in all, a tie between Berry and George Mucas.

[Bloo2daMacs]

I'm probably kinda late for this (eight days, I never know how late is too late), but I'll give it a go anyway.

Which episode of the entire series do you believe is the best?

I would definately have to say Bus the Two of us. I personally thought that was the funniest episode yet, and it really kept me engaged and excited. This was also the epsiode I watched last time I went to see my grandparents, and I'm glad they got to watch this episode of all. They really liked it.

Which episode of the first season do you believe is the best?

Store Wars. When I watched Hous of Bloo's I didn't really think the show was that great, but Store Wars really changed my mind.

Which episode of the second season do you believe is the best?

My So Called Wife. I thought it was a really clever and witty episode, and I still think Ben E. Factor was hilarious.

Which episode of the third season do you believe is the best?

It's hard to narrow it down, I can't just choose one. Camp Kepp a Good Mac own, Duchess of Wails, One False Movie, and Cuckoo for Coco Cards are my favorites of all of them, though.

Which episode of the fourth season do you believe is the best?

Bus the Two of Us, obviously. But Bloo's the Boss and Infernal Slumber are up there, too.

Which episode of the fifth season do you believe is the best?

If I had to choose just one, I'd explode. I like all of them, but I guess Bloo Superdude is the best so far. *explodes*

Which of the five seasons do you believe is the best?

Season Three?

Which of the special episodes do you believe is the best?

Good Wilt Hunting really good, but A Lost Clause was also had it's moments.

Which of the shorts do you believe is the best?

Drawing Bored, because it had a really neat concept, and it was dealt with really well.

Which human character do you believe is the best?

Mac or Frankie, hard to decide.

Which Imaginary Friend do you believe is the best?

Wilt, because he's just such a darn cool character.

Which ?minor?, or background character, do you believe is the best?

I guess I'd have to say... Berry. she's so deviously evil.

[Scrawffler]

I actually filled this in yesterday, but was automatically logged out before I could post it. So here's take 2

Which episode of the entire series do you believe is the best?
Yikes, I really don't know. There are so many good ones for all different reasons, and some of them are uncomparable!

Which episode of the first season do you believe is the best?
Hmm... either Store Wars or Adoptcalypse Now. Both of them have good storylines and are really funny.

Which episode of the second season do you believe is the best?
I'd list about half of the season if I could XD but I think that my very fave of season 2 is The Sweet Stench Of Success. There are a lot of good bits in it, and I particularly like the Broadway-style show Bloo performs in at the end - and Eduardo's potato song!!

Which episode of the third season do you believe is the best?
One False Movie. I always feel happy watching that eppie!

Which episode of the fourth season do you believe is the best?
Bus The Two Of Us. The whole concept of it is so hilarious, and there just isn't a dull moment.

Which episode of the fifth season do you believe is the best?
This one's still new to the UK (I haven't even seen 2 of the episodes yet) so I'm not very familiar with them, but Schlock Star was pretty awesome. Heh... another good musical episode!

Which of the five seasons do you believe is the best?
I like all of them, but season 2 is probably my favourite overall since so many of my fave episodes are in that one.

Which of the special episodes do you believe is the best?
Again, I'd pick them all if I could, although I think A Lost Claus was particularly good for the fact that it really seems to put you in that Christmas spirit. Possibly because it reminds me so much of 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'!!

Which of the shorts do you believe is the best?
Hmm... I've only seen 2 shorts so I'll come back to this one when I've seen more. XD

Which human character do you believe is the best?
It's a tie between Mac and Frankie. Both of them are realistic and believable, and they're both the kind of characters that if I met them in real life I'd want to be friends with them!

Which Imaginary Friend do you believe is the best?
They're all awesome in their own ways, but Coco is my fave. I love how she's so crazy and silly but at the same time very clever and resourceful!

Which ?minor?, or background character, do you believe is the best?
I'd like Bendy to have a comeback because he's that cool. Out of the background characters that just have a line here and there, I love that fuzzy orange and red guy (I think his name is Pointy Toehair, or something?).
