Episode Discussion: The Buck Swaps Here (05/18/2007) - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Ditchy McAbandonpants · 05-04-2007, 03:55 AM

With Cheese A Go-Go practically upon us, now seems as good a time as any for a topic dedicated to the second episode of Season Five, due to air on May 18th (NOT the 11th, like I originally said). Credit to Ccook50 for finding this info...

From TV Guide: "Eduardo finds a $100 bill on the ground at a swap meet, which triggers greed at the Foster house."

Oh dear; sounds like Bloo might be getting his hands on some cash again. That's never good.

After the slightly controversial Cheese A Go-Go pitch, this episode sounds like a real return to basics; this premise seems to echo of a number of older episodes, notably "Cookie Dough" and "Room With A Feud". That's no bad thing, though; it can be extremely funny when the housemates start going for each other's throats, as those earlier episodes proved. As long as this one serves up a script good enough to keep the familiar concept fresh, we could have a real winner on our hands here...

As noted in the original post, The Buck Swaps Here airs May 18th. If you try to tune in at 8 PM Eastern/Pacific on the 11th, you'll be seeing Pokemon: Lucario And The Mystery Of Mew. (The listing of TBSH on that link is in error.)

May 11th's Foster's ep is a repeat of My So-Called Wife at 11 PM Eastern/Pacific.

Darn it!

You did say that and all...that's what I get for not reading things closely. Thanks again, Ccook50, and sorry for relaying wrong info. That's the 18th, then, people.

PS - Ccook50, where'd you get the correct date?

Ccook50 · 05-04-2007, 05:09 AM

Go to the listings at TV Guide, then click the dropdown bar for the date. It should now accomodate May 18th. Click May 18. After the page loads, use the dropdown bar for the time (8 PM, or the correct time in your zone). Click that time. After it loads, scrolldown to where Cartoon Network's listings are then hover your cursor over Foster's and it will give you the episode title and description.

Interesting episode, based on the premise.

Can't wait to see it.

Aly23 · 05-04-2007, 08:09 AM

Is this the airing date for America? If so, When would it be able for England or Europe? Or if one of you lovely souls would upload it to Youtube.

Ccook50 · 05-04-2007, 08:34 AM

It's the air date for America. We post at YouTube at our peril--third parties representing Time-Warner will have it removed as soon as it goes up. To see when it will air in the U.K., check Cartoon Network's U.K. site.

Okay, users of TV.com now have access to the episode title at that loving web site. *giggles because he is the editor of those pages*

In addition, the episode title is based on the saying made famous by Harry S Truman when he was President of the United States from 1945 through 1953, "The Buck Stops Here".

...The Foster's staff should totally use a Gollum priority with the whole "My precioussss" thing. XD
