"Crime after Crime" (Spoliers ahead!)

[mskinnikufan]

Meh, I didn't like this episode much.
The plot of Herriman trying to hide his stolen carrots as the main plot wasn't very entertaining.
However Bloo did get his comeuppance, something that should make many people happy.
Oh and the Imaginary Puppies from "Who Let the Dogs In" had a cameo.

I thought this was one of the funniest episodes yet! Mr. Herriman was acting JUST like someone who's really addicted to cocaine or heroin or meth-all paranoid and crazy, ashamed of his addiction, yet unwilling to try to stop. It was purely hilarious how Bloo kept desparately trying to get sent to bed without supper-a punishment he saw Herriman met out to so many other IF's for trivial little things(Herriman really was freaking out because he thought that they were too close to his carrot "stash"), so he could avoid having to eat IT, and failed miserably each time! It was also funny to see Bloo convince Mac to give in to his "dark side" in the hopes that Mac would succede in getting Bloo in trouble, only to discover that Mac's notion of rebellion was just jumping up and down on a bed("I cannot believe we're related!"), when it turned out that MAC was the one who got in trouble for it, after all!
I didn't quite "get" Wilt's desire to be punished, though, or his thinking that he was becoming a "delinquent" simply because he saw other IF's get punished by Herriman for doing simple things like standing on rugs, standing near lamps, or touching objects, and trying to think of ways to punish himself after Herriman told him to take care of the problem himself. While it WAS funny, and Wilt did have some funny lines and facial expressions, it made him seem uncharacteristically dumb. Wilt is generally, along with Mac, the most logical of the whole lot, and I'd expect him to be the first to question, albeit in a most polite manner with many apologies, just why doing those things was suddenly so bad. I guess that along with his far-sightedness, he was just having a sort of "senior moment"!

I loved this one! I was smiling through the entire episode, except for those parts when I was laughing out loud, like when Bloo whacked the house with a wrecking ball, or when he said "Tonight, Frankie is serving vomit...", Frankie & Mac's confrontation and it's outcome, Eduardo stalking Herriman, the list goes on. I thought it was well written (the bit with the diamonds was a nice twist), and wasn't that lady cop really Officer Jones of Mall Security from "Store Wars"? She looked awfully familiar.

Hmm, that's two exceptional episodes in a row. Here's hoping for a third next Friday.

I enjoyed this episode as well. I think the most amusing part was the Coco carrot ransom scene. When Herriman was reading the ransom note that read only various words of "Co-co" he read the note in complete english!! I almost died laughing!

[pitbulllady]

That still pales in comparison to "Frankie is making vomit for dinner, and I'm trying to get Mr. Herriman to punish me by sending my to my room without supper, so I won't have to EAT IT." Bloo can just say stuff like that completely dead-pan, and it's just hilarious!

I liked the episode too. I found the whole carrot thing hilarious, the best of those scenes being Coco and her revenge. She's getting to be a real fave in my book!
Bloo's whole skit was GREAT, I was SO happy they weren't focusing so much on him being an idiot towards Mac, it was toned down and instead BLoo was just being mischief-making Bloo, which was FINE with me. I actually felt bad for the little guy having to eat that horrid stuff, gawd only knows what was in it. o.o
Wilt's scenes didn't sit well with me either, pitbulllady. Though in truth, as far as the cartoon goes, that is just WIlt ^^ He can be over-the-top with the harshness on himself sometimes.

I wish I had cable! I MUST see these episodes...

Good, nice to hear the show is making a recovery. I was starting to think Foster's, as wonderful as a show it was, was being turned into crap before it got a chance to run for very long.

Yeah, I guess Wilt does have some serious self-esteem issues! After all, he DID volunteer to starve to death first, so that everyone else would still have enough to eat in "Camp Keep a Good Mac Down". He is also almost as obessed with following and complying with rules as Herriman is with making and enforcing them, and never seems to question whether or not a rule is fair or makes sense. I suppose it just goes along with his fear of being kicked out or abandoned again, and he was just wanting to show Herriman how contrite he was that he'd broken these new "rules".

I don't really think the show was ever losing any ground (then again, it depends on the person's views).

When I first saw the episode, I wasn't sure if I enjoyed it or hated it. Then, I watched it again -- loved it! Not quite as good as the last one, but there were a lot of good things about this episode. Bloo said and did a lot of things that were really amusing to me. As pitbulllady mentioned, gotta love that "Frankie is making me eat vomit.." quote. I also love it when we learned what Mac wanted to do that was "really bad", and saw Bloo's reaction, after seeing what Mac wanted to do. "I can't believe we're related." And "Goodbye, it, and hello -- hello -- hello to saying goodbye to it." After watching this episode, I would rather be in jail than eat "it."

Did anyone happen to catch the end credits to this episode, by the way? I saw those this evening(for some reason, they don't show the end credits following a brand-new episode on "Friday Nights"). This was one of the few times I really, really felt sorry for Bloo, even if he did sorta deserve it!

pitbulllady

[expirasin]

I can't stand watching the credits for shows on Fridays because they always block out the extra scene just so they bug you with those two annoying hosts.

In the credits Bloo finally downs the rest of the vomit dish and Frankie gives him another plate, reassuring him that he WILL eat the plate if its the last thing he does, or someting of that nature.

[pitbulllady]

Yeah, he had to apparently eat plate after plate of the stuff, one for every single one of his recent transgressions he committed in his attempt to make Herriman send him to his room! Frankie was saying something like this as she handed him ANOTHER plate of IT: "And THIS one is for the banana peels in the hall...and there's another one for the condiment couch."

Hopefully all the people(and I have to admit I'm sometimes among 'em)who want to see Bloo meet Karma for all the selfish and downright nasty things he's done.

[One Radical Dude]

As a huge Bloo fan, yeah, I agree that he kinda did deserve what was coming to him, and did he ever! He's gonna need several bottles of mouthwash, after eating "it."

[Cassini90125]

I'm getting really curious about what exactly is in "IT".

[Sparky]

I too was glad to see Bloo punished for trashing the house and whatnot, and that he didn't get away with it all.
