Just looked at the screencaps from the episode. I can't wait to see it, as I've stated a thousand times already. Looks like Duchess has been in the house longer than anyone else, even Wilt.
Does Bendy appear in any of the house photos? I can't see well enough.

Hah you're right! She HAS been there longer then Wilt! At least by a year, or so it would seem. Hawhaw, Uncle Pockets and Duchess been there before he was. No more 'longest lasting imaginary friend in Fosters' for Wilt!
Also for the nit-pickers: I love how they had Madame Foster shrink. But that so clashes with the flashback of 'Trouble with Scribbles' episode which showed Frankie as a wee lil' tyke and Madame was just the same as she appears now. I like pointing out continuinity blunders like that.
It also seems Eduardo came to the house the same year Frankie started 'hanging out' there. I don't think Frankie's lived there her whole life; maybe she moved in there after she finished College? I mean she mentions parents, and maybe she's just included in the photos since she'd go to the House after school (like Mac) to help out her Grandma and Mr. Herriman.
Also could someone tell me what's up with the screengrab of Wilt appearing at the front door with... a very LARGE/tall kid? Looks like Dennis the Menace, to me. But what's up with that? Is Bloo imagining Frankie having witnessed all the friends arriving at Foster's or something?
I loved the nod to Mork and Mindy with Eduardo's lovely red spacesuit. I half expect to hear him say 'Nanoo nanoo' or something. I certainly can't wait for this episode to grace MySpleen with it's presence!

Could the kid have been...Wilt's creator? (I missed that scene so maybe I don't know what you're actually referring to.)

Could the kid have been...Wilt's creator? (I missed that scene so maybe I don't know what you're actually referring to.) No, the "kid" wasn't even real. This was just a visualization of Mac's theory of how the Imaginary Friends, who were missing from the previous year's photo, all got back to Foster's. Mac theorized that they all got adopted, which was why none were in the mystery photo, but that the adoptions were poor matches and that they were all returned to Foster's in time for the next year's photo. The big kid looked like Dennis the Menace, but you couldn't see his head because it was above the level of the door, and he was returning Wilt because Wilt was "too short"! The kid was bigger even than the New Guy, so he would have been a real giant, well over 10 feet tall! It was just another way of showing Mac's theory in pictures, same as when Mandy is seen bringing back a smiley-face Friend for being "too happy". pitbulllady

I thought I was the only one who thought the big kid looked like Dennis.

Hah, cool! I thought it looked like Dennis the Menace too. The same red overalls, the blue and white striped shirt... all he needed was a shaggy dog following him and you'd have the whole deal done.

If "I" haven't seen it yet, it's new to me!
Wow, 2 episodes into season 4, and they are still bringing the quality baby!
So Bloo found out the real deal behind the photo and pranked everyone at the same time (I.E. The Trap door), it's one of those endings you should see coming, but are still a little surprised when it happens.
Okay I am totally convinced that Eduardo has become the shows goto character for B-Plots, I can just see this conversation in the writers room every week, "Okay we need a B-Plot for this episode, to fill it out a little", "Sure, let's do something with Eduardo." "Brilliant!" Off course this time around there was a C-Plot involving Coco, which I wish they had spent more time developing, but you know que sara sara and all that.
Cheese's cameo and Goo's Appearance = Fan Service (The good kind.)
And both characters will brought back in full episodes later on, so it's a great way to reintroduce them to the viewers, so as not to spend countless minuets on exposition in the latter episodes, minuets that could be best served on jokes.
A cameo by Mandy?! (Did Craig McCracken and Maxwell Atoms work together in the past? Or are they just fans of each others works? You know like some kind of strange mutual admiration society. )
All in all, another great way to spend 22 minuets looking at a screen.

Yeah, I'm glad they got B&M back for their Foster's parody. And did a much better job, especially since they actually used Grey Delisle's voice. How do you pronounce her last name, anyway?

Alright, finally downloaded this episode. Loved it. Well, I loved Duchess in it, anyway. Oh man was I happy to see her again.
The other bits were rather boring, though. And I hated the Cheese cameo. Because I don't like Cheese.
Goo was cute though.
Duchess made this episode, IMO. But . . . that's always my opinion. Duchess made World Wide Wabbit, and they didn't even show her face.

Duchess made this episode, IMO. Oh yeah she got some good lines and scenes in this outing and her quote about "Pain and Beauty" reminded me of Vega from Street Fighter 2. You know I might be in the minority here, but I would love to see Duchess running around with a masked Spanish assassin with an iron claw on his hand.

Quick, somebody go knock Eduardo over the head, making him forget who he is and take on this new persona of assassinating people with cream pies, Duchess to his side and rise to power only to be knocked back in the head and return to normal! ...yeah I'm gonna go watch TV now. Try and.. calm down.

*susplodes* Must...See...This episode! Good thing I've got a good buddy who tapes stuff for me. ^^ Just gotta get the tape from her somehow. If I can't get a ride, I can always ride my bike. XD She doesn't live too far away... Yep. I like amusing banter a lot, but I also like it when they're.... well, best friends. I mean, friendships like the one Mac and Bloo have only come around once in a lifetime (on average, based on absolutely nothing) for us normal non-fictional people, which is partially why I love 'em so. They're like yin and yang, because they just.... complete each other, y'know? I think you do. As much as I love the friendship between Mac an' Bloo, I gotta say I love the friendship between Madame Foster and Mr. Herriman more. With them being friends so long...My wandering mind has often explored the possibilities. NO, I'm not saying Madame FosterxHerriman! XO Ack. I just wonder about the stuff they could've gotten up to when they were younger. Don't ask me why, but I imagine Mr. H being a lot different in his youth. Like, not just in attitude either. Meh. I guess I'll explain it later...I've always got tons of ideas for Foster's fanart, but I lack time and talent to actually do them. ANYWAY, forgive my off-topic-ness, just wanted to say. I'll post about this episode once I've seen it. =P

You guys, I retook all of the screencaps of the pages of the photo album in a different program, that takes larger screencaps than I normally take, and looked them over VERY carefully. There are 34 pictures, one for each time a page is flipped in the album - and they ARE in fact, all different. Many of them look similar because it appears that the animators reused a lot of the shots of the friends on the stairs while continuing to age Frankie and Madame Foster in the foreground. There are several caps that very obviously have the EXACT same collection and configuration of friends on the stairs, but the slow progression of Frankie and Madame Foster's ages make them in fact entirely different shots. There ARE 34 years accounted for in the album. Frankie is apparently lying about her age, lol. Rather big continuity error on the part of the show.
I want to post the pics but I'm afraid they might kill my bandwidth with people constantly going to the same page over and over to view them with no thumbnails. Well, I'll keep an eye on it and if it's a problem I'll move the pics to photobucket maybe. I'll work on getting them online.

How can Frankie be that old?! When I first started watching Foster's I thought she was a teenager, and now she's at least 34? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!

That IS a very big continuity error to be sure, since not only does Frankie look WAY too young to be 34, she actually states that she is 22 in "Frankie My Dear" and in "Setting a President", Bloo's smear campagne says that 22 years ago, she couldn't do anything but cry, and it shows her as an infant! She appears to be around 4-ish in that first photo(that's also the age mentioned for her when she let the Scribbles out from behind the Secret Door in "The Trouble With Scribbles", so presumably that's the age she was when she first came to live there at Foster's), which would make her not 34 now, but THIRTY-EIGHT! That would mean she's just a few years younger than me, and I promise you I don't look anywhere NEAR as young as Frankie! I just can't buy into Frankie being almost 40, no way! Either Mr. Herriman was not telling the truth when he said that they never re-took photos if the first one didn't work out, or the production crew on the series stuck in some extras just to make that little "flip animation" sequence with the photo album work better, and hoped no one would actually bother counting. Come on, now Craig-you and the rest of the crew ought to know us die-hard fans are nit-picky and sticklers for details! pitbulllady
