Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends:Better Off Ed [Spoilers]

[NewcomerDC]

Hey, this is my first time doing a Foster's talkback so I'll start with the new episode premiering at 7:30 followed by a rerun at 10:30. If I have the times wrong, please let me know.

Here's the summary of tonight's episode:


Eduardo tells some fibs to residents of the nursery, and then must cover them up without having them catch up to him. (http://www.tv.com/fosters-home-for-imaginary-friends/show/28101/episode_guide.html?season=other&tag=season_dropdown;dropdown;5)


sorry if you can't see the info of this episode.

I liked this episode. It wasn’t the best, as I’ve always found Eduardo episodes to be a bit weak, but I enjoyed watching it. It was interesting to discover that, even though Imaginary Friends don’t physically age, they do get to leave the nursery after they “mature”.

[Rolling Cloud]

Hah, nice premise for an episode. Enjoyable, to say the least.

EDIT: Why does Eduardo always get the "cover-up stuff" type of episodes?

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Well I'm glad to see an episode not focus so much on just Bloo but the rest of the house. Well at least Ed anyway. I could understand him sort of wanting to be a hero to kids by stealing Bloo's thunder (who has been stealing everyone's thunder anyway by trying to squeeze his way into everyplot nowadays) and the opening was funny with various scenes from "Cookie Dough", "Eddie Monster" and "Sweet Stench Of Success" done Edwardo style. I also liked Frankie covering for him, no one liking Bloo's paintball game, Jackie Combs demanding a sandwitch out of Edwardo for keeping the secret (from this and "Cheese A Go-Go" he's obviously a big swandwitch lover), the knock out sweatsock, Edwardo getting stuck in the laundry hamper, Bloo being made fun of by the babies, the paintball war (though it would of been better to see Edwardo admit the truth and then get angry at Bloo still hammering the kids and actually be a hero and take Bloo out. Guess Bloo had to be caught in the act though) and Ed still being a hero to the kids which was nice. Could do without Mac blasting Bloo ending but otherwise a pretty good of still the best regular CN Original on CN right now.

Not great, but I can say that Jackie is quickly becoming one of my favorite charecters. Phil Lamar gives him that hillarious "John Stewart/GL" voice.

"Maybe Bloo isn't a baby, but he sure is a doody head."
"I know."

Fun enough, at least compared to last week's episode.

Never thought of Eduardo as the 'steal someone else's glory' type, even if that somebody else is Bloo. Nothing particularly funny about Ed trying to 'protect his rep,' though the paintball fight was enjoyable. Oh, and I'm loving Jackie Khones not only showing up more and more, but also doing some integral to the plot. Here, even tricking Eduardo and Scrappy to both make him sandwiches. He's a sly one, yes he is.

"Better Off Ed": 3.5/5.

Edwardo may be a bigger hazard than everyone thinks, I mean sure he's not violent by nature but he can do some harsh things to keep people from knowing something. Like when he head-butted Franky because she was going to tell Herriman his rules were out of control. Who needs this guy around when he can hurt you for no reason?

[Deadman]

that was a good one

Might as well ask...is Jackie supposed to be a play on Plankton from Spongebob?

[Mr.Penguin]

Nope, He's just one-eyed and green...:shrug:

This was a pretty good one, but I liked the Halloween one better; probably a 4/5 for me.

[DarthGonzo]

Nope, He's just one-eyed and green...:shrug:


But he's tiny, green, has little limbs, one eye, a deep voice and is generally cranky. Doesn't seem like a coincidence.

Regardless, I love whenever the little guy appears.

They just have similarities.
