Eduardo episode for once

"Great"

By JPPT1974, Apr 01, 2006

For once in the series which I love the most
They focused the attention off of principal
Characters Blooregard and Mac
And focused on Eduardo the "scardy-cat" bull
Who speaks Spanish and despite his scary outward
Appearance, is really shy and sweet
Much like Wilt, another fan favorite
That bullying and jerky Terrance only wants
To use the poor bull for his own gain
Feel sorry that Mac has to live with a brother like him
Don't laugh but I feel sorry that Terrance will grow up to be dumb and an idiot
If he doesn't change his attitude towards his brother or with others!moreless

"Mediocre"

By Star_Blaster, Nov 04, 2005

In this episode we see Eduardo, still an enormous baby. Bloo, still sick and tired of his cowardliness, yells at him and causes Eduardo to go craxy and try and run off to prove he isn't a coward. On the way he meets Terrence who takes him to a junkyard where he makes Eduardo a competitive in a Extremesaur Battle Championship. His friends, worried where he is go off and search for him, Eduardo, happy that he's learning not to be afraid of monsters. Eventually the gang find him at the junkyard but Eduardo doesn't want to return to Foster's because of Bloo. Bloo feels sorry, but EDuardo doesn't care. After Eduardo saves the gang from an electric beast, they all become friends again, and Bloo, of course, apologises. Eduardo believes he is now not scared of anything, but of course, a single frisbee return shim to normal-The big baby scaredy cat.

The storyline was so poor in this episode. It was boring, Ed running about like a maniac killing Extremesaurs. And the gang trying to fidn him takes hours. Terrence is a jerk who tries to get Eduardo killed, and Bloo is happy Eduarod is gone forever. And Eduardo doesn't toughen up. He's still scared of a signle frisbee. It was okay, but could use more work. For starters, Bloo shouldn't of bene so jerky. He's not so jerky, just a little bit jerky. They really need to fix this episode up.moreless

Eduardo, the loveable friend, is fighting for his rights!

Eduard is scardey pants, but he is not some much of one.
True, Bloo was taking the mickey outta him, but he was wrong. Ed fought to gain respect, but "I am a lover, not a fighter!" Ed's finest hour, i mean...30 minutes.
Terrance's character is built up too. Usually, he would just shove Ed off.
I'm not a Ed fan, but this was a classic ep.

"Superb"

By pitbulllady, Jul 30, 2005

This was one of the best episodes of "Foster's.." I've seen so far, complete with plenty of humor, and more in-jokes than a Pixar movie! Bloo, as usual, is self-centered and completely oblivious to the feelings of others. After Eduardo is afraid of a "Whizbee"(Frisbee), Bloo taunts him, telling him that he wouldn't last long in "the real world" outside of Foster's. To prove him wrong, Eduardo runs away. In the meantime, he's discovered by Mac's brother Terrence, who intends to use Eduardo in dogfight-style battles between "Extremasaurs"-Imaginary Friends created by teenage boys-down at the local junkyard, with plenty of references to "Pokemon", "Dragonball Z" and other Anime series. Eduardo, despite his cowardice, proves a surprise hit on the Extremasaur battle circuit, winning fight after fight accidentally, while trying to AVOID his opponents. When Mac, Wilt and Coco discover that he's missing, though, they embark on a search for him, with Bloo tagging along, still unconcerned about Ed's safety. Terrence inadvertently reveals to Mac where Eduardo is, and the gang set off to the junkyard to rescue him. Some interesting character expansion from Wilt(which some might consider him being OOC)occurs when he backhands Bloo for continuing to show disregard for Eduardo being in a perilous situation, and does not apologize for it, something I see as an example of even Wilt becoming fed up with Bloo's behavior. In the end, rather than the gang rescuing Eduardo, HE ends up rescuing THEM from a particularily dangerous Pikachu-like electric Extremasaur, showing that he CAN be brave after all. Terrence, who put them in that dangerous situation in the first place, gets his comeuppance as well. Even at the end, though, Bloo fails to acknowledge that he was the one who caused Eduardo to run away in the first place. I can completely understand how someone would be tempted to whap him upside the head!moreless

Good job Craig Lewis!

"Superb"

By Sailormoonfan44, Jul 26, 2005

Here's the plot: Eduardo runs away from the home to prove that he's not a coward. Great episode!
Wilt smacks Bloo and doesn't apoliges for it. OOC for Wilt! Terrence has a big part since season 1. Amazing cameos in one episode it has: A kid in the junkyard wars was wearing a Fridays cap, then the Eds and Dexter are hanging outside of the giant crate, and finally a Pikachu look-alike shows up. And plus it was well written! Too many if you ask me! My overall Craig Lewis is 9/10!moreless

  EDIT SHARE

- The potato sack that Terrence brought to Eduardo before his fight was labeled "TATERS." Taters is a variant of potato, but used typically in the Upper Southern United States.
  EDIT SHARE

ALLUSIONS (13)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- On the bus, Coco presses the brakes and Bloo is flung into the windscreen. A similar scene occurs in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, on the Knight Bus.
  EDIT SHARE
- Eduardo: Off To See The Wizard? Eduardo proves his courage by saving his friends from a sleeping monster. This is very similar to a scene in L Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, where the Cowardly Lion proves his courage by killing a monster that has terrorised the forest when it is asleep.
  EDIT SHARE
- n/a: Baseball Cap Look closely at a baseball cap worn by the teenager next to Terrence's right after one of Eduardo's victories. It bears a striking resemblance to the "Fridays" logo on Cartoon Network, albeit in a different color scheme.
  EDIT SHARE
- Eduardo: I'm a lover, not a fighter. This is a line Michael Jackson used.
  EDIT SHARE
- Monster: Tranzor Z When Eduardo is fighting in the junkyard, he defeats a large robotic monster with a train like face and a red chestplate. This is a visual reference to the 80's anime, Tranzor Z (also known as Mazinger Z outside the US).
  EDIT SHARE
- Talking Urinal: I know you are, but what am I? This line was made famous by Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens).
  EDIT SHARE
- Monster: Pikachu The imaginary friend in the crate looked very similar to Pikachu from Pokémon. Even having the same electric attack.
  EDIT SHARE
- Four Kids: Ed, Edd, Eddy, and Dexter
  When the Foster's gang is about to be thrown into the the electric Extremesaurus cage, notice when a nerd is talking to three boys. The three boys look exactly like Ed, Edd, and Eddy from fellow Cartoon Network show, Ed, Edd n' Eddy. Meanwhile, the nerd closely resembles Dexter from a show Craig McCracken worked on called Dexter's Laboratory.
  EDIT SHARE
- Lemony Wicked Awesome: Lemony Snicket Lemony Wicked Awesome is a spoof of the author of the A Series of Unfortunate Events book series, Lemony Snicket (Real name: Daniel Hadler).
  EDIT SHARE
- Extreme-O-Saur Ultimate Fighting Tour: Ultimate Fighting Championships. The "Extreme-O-Saur Ultimate Fighting Tour" is likely a parody of the Ultimate Fighting Championships.
  EDIT SHARE
- Game: Whizbee A spoof of the popular Frisbee flying disc toy by Wham-O.
  EDIT SHARE
- Drink: Super Chug When Madame Foster is in the car and drinking from the cup, you can see the words "Super Chug" on the cup, which is obviously a parody of 7-Eleven's Big Gulp.
  EDIT SHARE
- Episode Title: Eddie Monster The tile is a pun on the name of Edward Wolfgang Munster (Eddie Munster) who was played by Butch Patrick in the TV series, The Munsters.
