Is anyone else here impressed at the way KND seems to have a lot of original plots and dish them out so fast? It's just something I think of.

[noahrave]

Numbah 2's dramatization scene of Mushi made it the BEST KND episode ever! :evil:

That was freakin' sick and genius.

[STARTOUNZ]

I'm glad they finally decided to show Hoagie's mom's face, as well as seeing Kuki's parents for the first time without cutting away from their faces. Now all they have to do is show the faces of Numbuh 1's mom, Numbuh 5's dad (as well as mom if she'll ever appear and hopefully Hoagie Sr.), as well as both of Numbuh 4's parents. Frankly, it's long overdue. I liked Tommy still doing his "The Tommy" routine, though he should have had more screen time and at least interact with Mushi a little bit. Speaking of her, is there any chance she'll be joining the KND in the near future? Perhaps she can move on where Tommy left off. C.L.U.E.S. (as well as O.F.F.I.C.E.) also indicates that Numbuh 4's dad and Numbuh 2 and 3's moms work at the same place, though the latter two are in the accounting division. Between the two shorts though, C.L.U.E.S. was better, especially with Hoagie's granny whining about dinner and bashing the kids with her cane, giving Numbuh 2 what he deserved for eating the turkey. :evil:

Oh, I just saw the Mushi thing :D very very funny.

The show is about kids, so don't hold your breath. I say Number 5's dad has had the most airtime. Parents are shown as incompetent and more immature than the kids. Look at Number 5's father, or Number 4's parents.

It seems Kuki is mixed Indian and Japanese. I mean Asian Indian. Why?

Father's name is Khan (Khani with affection?)
Accent more Indian
Skin tone more of Indian


I gave this episode an A for the musical and Number 2's live action of Mushi. Just like Super Milk Chan. Hmm the musical was good and unique I loved it alot, alot. I watched this episode twice for it. The second episode was funny, and Khan was funny as hell where he always jumped in saying his daughters was bickering. The mother seemed to hace a stick in her ... yeah ... but seems to have loosened up in the end. Nice move catching Hoagie for the turkey, looks like she set up Number 2, she knew even before he answered. Mushi gone evil! We knew this in the Space Oddessey Parody episode.

[CaseClosed15]

Wait, didn't they already show numbuh 4's parents in operation S.P.R.O.U.T.?

[Swonker]

Wait, didn't they already show numbuh 4's parents in operation S.P.R.O.U.T.? Yes, but not their faces.

[DanniB]

This episode has mixed reactions from me.

FOOD FIGHT: I was VERY dissapointed. I was expecting all the characters to sing! I wanted five part harmony with the KND kicked Gramma Stuffums butt! But nooo only she was singing. No offence to Grey, she was great, but I was too dissapointed to care about anything else that happened in this episode.

CLUES: this soooo made up for food fight. I loved Hoagie and his intereactions with the other characters. This was definatly a character driven episode and made me really happy. Kuki was so cute and so was mushi and tommy (espeacially tommy's monologues). Genki and Konni were cool too, so nice to finally meet them. I noticed that Mrs. Gilligan was different in this episode then she was in TOMMY, in fact she had a different voice too (in Tommy it was Cree Summer with a snarky, take no poop additute. in this she was grey deleslie (i think) and she was all nervous and stuff) I'm surprised they showed the parents faces, I thought that was a privilage saved for Nigel's dad only.

The re-inactment was neat, that was a REAL rainbow monkey! EEEE! That rainbow monkey was cute, even if I am getting sick of them showing up all the time.

Oh and another thing, when kuki's mom kept saying "interesting" I was so expecting them to reveal that she was the interesting twins in desguise.

Operation: F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E

Well my thought on this it was a bit disturbing KND running away from fruit and vegetables? Weird. I didn't really get the whole singing either where the heck did the sinning come in?! That was just odd.






Operation: C.L.U.E.S.


It was a lot better than the first episode nice to see number two's brother back again he's the best character ever and I hope we see more of him in more missions I'm hoping he’ll be in the movie helping in a big way like in Operation: Graduation I think that's the title if not than sorry. I also liked see number three's little sister too she's so quit, I would love to see a mission involving the two younger siblings of number two and three that would be sweet. I can't wait for Operation: Snow that one sounds cool, Number One getting captured by the Principle while he's sick should be interesting. Also can't wait for Tommy Gilligan next appearance dealing with Number five's evil sister. These all sound so cool any ways great episodes.

[Deadman]

i really liked both of the episodes.

[Xfox]

One of the worst and best episodes of KND right here.

F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E. was downright horrible. Bad song (with incredibly inane lyrics), bad story and bad execution.

C.L.U.E.S. was excellent! I absolutely love when Mushi is on, and she was so funny in this one. Also loved Kuki's parents, Hoagie reprising his detective alter ego and the return of "The Tommy". Mushi with those sharp teeth- I would love to get a pic of that. I want more Mushi!

[creativerealms]

My guess is Kuki's Father works with #4's parents and the mother seems to be the bread winner in that family I could see the father as just working in a cubicle.


Anyway I hated the first and loved the second. Looks like CLUES is season's fours great episode (Like POINT, SUPPORT, and ARCIVE before it.)

"Operation: F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E." gets a 3.6 out of 4. Notes:
- Musicals always tend to bring a different look to series... and this is no exception. Though I agree in DanniB's assessment that only Grandma Stuffums sung, and not any of the kids, was a disappointment.
- It's one thing to get kids to eat... but Stuffums professes on making them good and fat. I thought America was bent on stopping obesity. This ISN'T helping.

"Operation: C.L.U.E.S." gets a perfect 4 out of 4. Notes:
- A good look at #2's mom and #3's parents... clearing the picture up of the KND's parents even more. Interesting contrasts between them, too.
- I didn't think for a second Mushi killed the Rainbow Monkey! What an intriguing case! Of course, it doesn't take an Americanized Conan to deduce #2 ate the turkey! All how many pounds of it it was!

Finally, KND puts together two 11-minute portions that were great! A first this season... and enough to make it my show of the week! Great job, KND!
