Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends

Not really like the others. Focused on how the ball hits the pins mostly. All I found out it was how to bowl. Actually I didn't. Everything in this episode is how Mac learns to bowl from an imaginary friend who doesn't even know how to bowl. Bloo tries to get a paddle ball and couldn't get it so Flo Jerkhins gets it for him, and lures Bloo into the Jerkhins team as well as the rest of Madame Foster's team who were lured by Flo with doilies. This episode is boring and I expected much much more from Craig McCracken.

This episode was just average set in comparisson to some of the fantastic episodes this show has to offer such as "World Wide Wabbit" and "Store Wars". Like I said this episode was average. I mean some parts of this episode were funny. Like when Madame Foster was muttering in the beginning and the segment when the guy tried to get Coco's shoes.



But this episode did have a pretty thin concept and there were some continuity errors. This episode probably was supposed to air pretty early in season one. Those were probably the only things I found wrong with this episode.

I saw this episode after seeing many where Madame Foster was either featured in the background in her usual sweet, quirky way, or not featured at all. So, from my standpoint, it was interesting to see a new, competitive side of her.



Bowling Paul was an interesting character, with his polished bowling gear, deep, spiritual voice and his attempts at teaching Mac how to bowl by making it a spiritual experience. His personality fit in extremely well with Mac’s over excitement over learning how to bowl.



A prime example being:



Bowling Paul: First, take your ball….

Mac: But I don't have a ball.

Bowling Paul: Then, my child, you have no soul.

Mac: But I can GET a ball!

Bowling Paul: Do you think souls are so easy to come by?

Mac: Well, there's some balls in that rack over there...

Bowling Paul: Oh yeah.



Bloo’s appearances in this episode were also amusing, beginning with seeing him at the house, then witnessing his struggles while trying to get the paddleball and finally, the last scene when he finally gets the paddleball.



All around, this is a pretty good episode, featuring some great moments and just plain fun!

If you read my review of Berry Scary, then you know that I referenced this episode. I said that this episode should\'ve come before Berry Scary, because Bloo get a paddleball in this episode and trys to use it correctly in Berry Scary. Some of you might disagree with me, so I\'ll add any reason. At the end of this episode Bloo is trying to use the paddleball, but can\'t use it properly. Mac says he knows how to and Bloo tells him to prove it, which Mac procedes to use it correctly.



In Berry Scary, Bloo still doesn\'t know how to use it correctly but tries to while the others are watching a soap opera. Bloo claims that he and Mac are going to break the world record of paddleball, and that he\'s not the one who is going to use it, but Mac is; Bloo is the counter for how many times Mac hits the ball. If Bloo knows Mac can use the paddleball correctly in Berry Scary, why would Bloo be surprised that Mac can use it properly in The Big Lablooski? Therefore, The Big Lablooski should\'ve aired before (and must\'ve been made before) Berry Scary.



Enough with that subject.



This episode is alright I guess. There are some funny parts in it. The beginning is kind of funny when Madame Foster is muttering to herself. I like when the bowl-shoe guys asks Coco for her shoes, because she keeps saying \"Coco\" and he keeps saying \"Shoes, please\" and then Mac says that she doesn\'t have any shoes and the bowling-shoe guy keeps saying \"No shoes, no shoes\" and Mac keeps saying \"Yeah, but--\" until Coco lays an egg with shoes in it.



When Mac bowls for the first time, it\'s pretty funny. I like when after Jerkins scares Eduardo as he bowls, and he bowls a strike, he says to her, \"Ha. Ha. You big meanie.\" I also like when Mac\'s bowling ball is ricocheting all around the alley and it hits the crane game and all the toys fall out and the little girl runs up to it and it hits the gumball machine and all the gum falls out and she runs to that, too.



Sure some other parts are funny, too, but, eh, the story is kind of hum-drum compared to great episodes like World Wide Wabbit and Who Let the Dogs In?.

Again this is a great show and no wonder

I watch the show over and over again

All because of not just the writing and the great "acting" that you want to call it

As the friends try to be Madame Foster's arch-nemises and rivals at bowling

Mac must learn to bowl as he can't bowl at all

But then the other team tries to steal Bloo away

Will the team win with Mac and face Bloo

Or will they get Bloo back in time?

You just have to watch in order to find out!

This episode is funny and kind of boring. I just like the part when the gang were bowling and Madame Foster was slightly getting mad at them because they don't know how to play bowling. The funny part to me is when Bloo was trying to get the thing that he wants to get to play. the other parts kind of boring. This episode is like Cookie Dough to me. Not the best or not the worst, mediocre. But this episode is more ok to me than Cookie Dough. A funny episode!

This is the first episode to focus on Mdm Foster. The humor in this episode was quite good and I have to say that I feel sorry for Mac.



In this episode, Foster meets up with her rival Jerkins who looks like Mandark from Dexter's Lab. Mdm Foster has dexter's glasses too you know! Mac was quite bad at bowling skills but I too am bad at bowling. But, Mdm Foster kicks him out and puts Bloo in the team instead because Bloo hits well. And what is Bloo's reward? A paddleball.



Mac isn't going to let a sweet old lady hurt his feelings so he meets Bowing Paul, imaginary friend, and thinks Paul is good at bowling. However, later Mac finds out that the owner was good and the friend was lousy.



Things didnt seem good at Foster's when Bloo betrayed Mdm Foster and joined Jerkins team.By some dumb luck, Mac scores.



The episode was funny with the Paddle Ball Paul and Bowling Paul scenes and the scenes with Bloo and the quarters. I do hope Season 3 will live up to this expectation.

The Big Lablooski reserves top appreciation from me, since this was the first episode I ever saw. Though this started my craze/passion for the show, I later realized there are far better episodes out there.



Nevertheless, I'm not slamming this episode, as it had its momments.



When Madame Foster's arch-rival challenges her to a bowling match, the essentric lady hastily drafts Mac and pals.



However, the team is so utterly terrible that they quickly fall behind in points. Mac, in particular, is so horrible that he's only capable of knocking down a single pin.



As the tension mounts, the stingy-as-ever Bloo reveals his bowling talent, and is fought over by the two teams.



This episode is downgraded due to a certain annoying 'Bowling Paul' but is brought back up by a number of in-jokes that I found quite funny.



Example:

Mac: So you and Doily have been enemies since she stole your lunchbox, your boyfriend, and....

Foster:My marbles!!

Mac:Clearly.



Well, it went something like that. x_x

The Big Labooski is one of my Fave Foster Episode. I haven't watched that many episodes yet, but this episode is the bomb! I personally like Bloo, he's funny, funny, and funny! Paddleball! And I also liked the ending, with Bowling Ball Paul, and then Paddleball Paul! LOL. It was a great episode! 2 THUMBS UP!

This episode is when Madame Fosters needs bowlers for her bowling team. She decides that Mac, Ed, Coco, Bloo, and Wilt are the ones. All these people have somewhat probems with their bowling skills. Wilt thinks that bowling is like basketeball and throws the ball like as if he was shooting it in the basket. Ed is scared of the ball itself. Mac is just plain and simple a terrible bowler so that results in Madame Foster kicking himm off the team. Coco is somewhat a good. and Bloo is so distracted that he wants a paddleball from the crane machine instead but when it's his turn he rolls a strike. Madame Foster promotes his skills by giving him quarters every time he rolls. But after a while he notices the paddleballs not their but Madam Foster's enemy has it. The only way he will get it is if he rolls for their team instead. Once Bloo does his jo he gets the paddleball but doesn't know how to do it. Now this time Mac's the expert.
