Wow, looks like the girl from the Deo commercial found a new gig as a pen.

This episode was pretty great, and I totally didn't expect Madame Foster's wondering if what she was doing was worthwhile. I love Madame Foster even more now.

I think Frankie and Mac got a pretty big part; Frankie did all she could, and wouldn't have been able to resolve the whole thing herself given the circumstances. They needed everyone to get involved. In a very humorous manner.

I was particularly tickled by the way Bloo was furiously playing the game and being like "eeehhhh...." whenever anyone addressed him because he sounded just like me when I'm busy.

Too bad the New Guy's not around anymore. He could've taken out Moose easily, but that would have defeated the point of the episode.

I totally missed the "Beeblebrox" gag. Shame on me.

In closing, I love Bloo intensely and I need to find opportunities to say "fuddy duddy" more often.

I added a poll to this topic, in case any of you want to grade the ep. I should have done this earlier.

I re-watched it (SpongeBob ended earlier than expected, so my brother finally shut up and let me watch it again).

I gave the episode a C.

Now, the overall plot/humor and stuff earned it a B in my book. Y'know what REALLY brought it down?

THE MUSICAL NUMBER!!!

Once again, I love muscial numbers. LOVE them. But this was so... random. It was a little much, therefore pushing my grade to a C.

I cracked up at the Lightning McQueen appearence, though...

I give it a B, it didn't stick out with the rest of season 4 but was funny. This was Herriman's best episode IMO atleast. I'm also mad at CN.com, I wanted to see Mac & Frankie work together, oh well.

I NEVER want to hear Madame Foster sing again, but I would love to here more FRankie & Wilt siniging!
Wilt as the flag pole was the best part of the episode.

LosDosEduardos · 11-10-2006, 07:50 PM

Whoa. Ed didn't have very many lines. His only lines were when he was singing and when he was working for his adopter.

Anyways, this episode deserves a B for a mostly-good job.

did anyone mention the Irony of Lincon selling IF Slaves?
thats one of several reasons I gave it an good grade

I honestly saw that coming the moment I learnt of this episode's premise.

I don't really think it's irony, as much as it is a blatant role-reversal.

Invader Bloo · 11-10-2006, 08:38 PM

Oh yes I felt bad for Ed, he had to be stuck with that jerky little kid.

She deserved a big spanking, or at least should be grounded for that kind of behaviour. Poor Ed.

I guess we'll call the pen "Dishonest Abe?" I'll soon add them to the list of secondary characters over at Wikipedia soon.
