!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!
One of the things I love about Foster's is their continuity. They are able to make details from other parts of the series and make them important. As you'll see, that continuity is fried here.
The plot of "Cheese A Go-Go," is that Frankie needs to get all these errands done, and notices Cheese, who keeps saying "Gotta go, Gotta go" over and over again. Bloo, who notices Eduardo acting strangely due to anesthesia, thinks that Cheese is an alien and sucked out Ed's brain. Bloo then starts a sort of crusade against Cheese, trying to stop him from sucking out the brain's of everybody else. Now then, before I do anything else, I want to analyze the characters.
Cheese- A main character in this episode, he was really annoying. In my opinion Cheese is supposed to be random, that's what makes him funny. When he says "Gotta go" throughout the episode, and he's such a main part of it, eventually you just want him to shut up.
Bloo- Hmm... Bloo's character was alright I suppose. I'm not really sure I like the way they had him act so paranoid, but it was alright.
Frankie- You know, I actually like Frankie and her character, and this was just a "Torture Frankie" not only that, but they didn't even pull it off well. They exaggerated it so much that it became so unrealistic. Sometimes This sort of thing can be funny, but the way they pulled it off, it just made me feel sorry for Frankie.
Madame Foster- I really liked the sub-plot, but I think it could have done better than this. I was hoping that somehow the sandwich would end up being an interesting plot-point, but really it wasn't. I think that they could have used her character better than they did.
Mac- Same as with Madame Foster. Mac didn't really seem to play a big role in this episode, which really annoyed me. Going in, I expected him to be the rather skeptical voice of reason in the episode, and I suppose that he was, but it didn't really work out that well. Mac didn't have enough lines in the episode to really make him that interesting.
Wilt- Hmm... Wilt played a big enough role to be that interesting. Eh, it's ok though, considering that they just went through a Wilt-centered movie, so I comfortable with Wilt's role here.
Louise- Too small a role. She could have been a big part of the episode, yet they choose to just make her have 1 line.
Ed- I think that this is like, the only character, (other than Bloo), who was in the majority of the episode and I actually liked. He was quite entertaining, one of the few entertaining characters in the episode.
So out of all the characters used; the only ones I think were played/used well were;
Ed, Bloo, and Wilt.
Wow, out of what? 12 characters?
In addition, the fact that I was more interested in the court and sandwich sub-plot really hurts the plot as a whole. In my opinion, it was just more interesting. I've seen the whole "character sees alien movie and thinks other character is an alien" plot and variants of it too many times to get into it much. I hope that they try the court and sandwich plot in another episode, because it just wasn't done enough justice here.
Ok, now back to the continuity problem I was talking about eariler. They fulfill the requirements of the Invaded, series by making Cheese an alien. A problem with this is that the ending seemed to be slapped on, and really rather confusing. If cheese is an alien, then Louise has to be too, or else, since Louise was created by Cheese, it makes no sense. Yet we see no sign of that here. Unless I'm missing something, the ending just seems to be one huge plot hole.
I'll assume that the "Invaded" series just really kind of limited the things the plot-designers and script-makers could really do in this episode, so I'll cut them some slack and hope that this lack-luster episode isn't a sign of things to come.
