FAN RECAP

Fan Episode Reviews (7)

A bad way to end a season.

1.0

By Emperor26, Sep 03, 2010

"Cuckoo For Coco Cards" is perhaps the worst season finale I had ever seen. Not only did this non-canonical episode almost cross the line to "jumping the shark", but the way it was displayed and how the character acts was simply not right at all.

The episode starts when Mac takes a group of kids a tour of the house, were Bloo tries to impress them,. However, Coco is the one who does the job well, so much, she had a group of fans, causing Bloo to get jealous. This jealousy lenghtens when Coco begins to create cards of everyone, and at first, Bloo didn't want nothing with them. But soon, Bloo becomes obsess wothj collecting every single one of them, whihc threatens his friendship with Coco.

Overall, a bad finale, another non-canonical episode and my final score: 1 out of 10.moreless

I was luaghing so hard when Bloo whined everyone into trading cards with him. The guy can do a lot of stuff and whining for a large amount of time is one of them. I was very proud of Ed in this one. he was proving to everyone that he wasn't just a big scardey cat, that he could be brave just like everybody else. Like eating Broccloi and sleeping without a nightlight, I luaghed out loud when ed screamed as the nightlight was turned off, poor guy but at least he is getting over his fears. And bloo found out for himself what we the viewers knew all along, that he is a jerk.moreless

Very funny and clever

7.5

By Beatledude64, Apr 11, 2006

I loved how Bloo uses his wining and trading skills to more and better cards in this episode. Soon, he has all cards except for one: his own! Even though this was the least rarest card, he was still missing it because he ripped it in front of Wilt. I thought that the idea of getting cards in this episode was clever. It was also really funny at the begining when Bloo thought he was the absolute best. So overall, I really did like this episode for humor and good writing and I hope to see it again on TV soon!moreless

Very funny!

8.8

By JPPT1974, Mar 31, 2006

Again reason why I loved the show

And that it is a very funny episode

Bloo can be obnoxious and loud

But also is funny with it as well

He tries to have everybody have his card

Get this of course, nobody wants it at all

Bloo tries to collect or out collect everybody

He gets on their nerves

While trying to outdo everybody

And nearly ruins his relationship with Coco in the process

Talented and great show!
