And, now, my response.

Another good episode, and a bit of a step up from last week. Frankie's brief parts were small, but appreciated. Bloo was absoultely nuts and selfish this time around. And, for the second time in a row, Eduardo was a hoot. And, Wilt's gracious-to-a-fault attitude to the quicksand was perfectly in character.

And, let's hear it for "BUNNY SUBTITLES" I wasn't expecting that, especially the ending which was absoultely hilarious. And, the reveal that they were right by the house was a very nice touch.

A-

The ending of this episode is what made me love it.

Bunny:Go on, Herriman. It's where you belong.
Herriman: I'll never forget you. Please let me know, if there's anything I can do for...
Bunny: Actually, we'd like to live with you in the warm and safe house and not be chased by wolves.
Herriman:Are you mad?! Letting filthy creatures like you in the house? Never!
Bunny:...SUCKER. I took his wallet.
Bunny 2: TO THE MALL!

*note that I screwed up Herriman's last line. Just too lazy to change it right now (no need for others to correct me)

Herriman stole this show, with the noble savage business and the subtitled nosetwitching. I felt there might be some reference to the Disney short "Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger, Too" for the rabbit freakout scene.

Two other good bits: Madame Foster as Lady Godiva, and Eduardo's "I'm not worried for ME...." speech. And Wilt, dependable as ever.

I am starting to wonder if Bloo should be turned down a notch. He's best as the id to Mac's ego - watch the premiere again where he's not wild at all, and you'll wonder why he's in it - but you do wonder after a while why Mac puts up with him. Which makes "If we die, I want you to know...it's all your fault!!! that much funnier.

[90'sCartoonMan]

Yeah, that ending was absolutely hilarious! Ed and Mac was great, so was Bloo's rain dance, and I liked how Bloo casually said Coco was eaten by a fish.

The only thing that kinda bothered me was how no one even attempted to stop Bloo when he was eating their food. Surely, Coco could've snatched SOME blueberries, and they should've been able to get the water away from him.

[One Radical Dude]

I understand a few not pleased with Bloo's self-centered behavior, but some act like they've never seen it before. It's what he is, although I will concede that he needed his butt whooped here. :p Leaving Wilt behind (while being stuck in the quicksand) wasn't any better, even though he said that it was fine. But hey, it's just a cartoon.

This was better than the first episode of the week, albeit quite bizarre. The ending was probably one of the greatest, and most bizarre ones ever for the series. I thought most of the gang was great, especially Ed, Herriman, and Mac. I almost gave it an A+, but an A will do here. Nice title card, too.

[I.R Joey]

Another really good episode of Foster's. The charecters were all acting like themselves, and the situations they got into were really funny. The gags and the "buisness" (as one might say in the toon buisness) were well timed and executed. The pay off at the end of the episode where we see that they were still in sight of Foster's was great. The best parts...

Bloo acting like a jerk (but being oblivious to it). Plus the rain dance.

Ed thinking that they weren't going to hurt the animals.

Coco laying a million eggs so that they can't eat.

Madam Foster fighting off the bear and running through the forest liker a wild woman.

And most importantly the Bunny Subtitles. That was a great little bit, and I think the funniest moment in what was an already funny episode. Who'd of known the bunnies could be so petty.

An A class episode for sure.

[Cartoonboy900]

This was a very decent episode, in fact it is now one of my favorites. I give it an A+

[Bubblegum Girl]

Good episode. I was hoping to see Bigfoot in this episode well since this show is always about imaginary friends Bigfoot would have been viewed as an imaginary friend. It was funny when Herriman and Madame Foste going into thier wild sides. I didn't think Bloo would have a huge appetite. it was really who Mac blamed Bloo when they thought they were going to be goners. It was really funny when they were all camping right next to Foster's Home and when the bunnies took Herriman's wallet. :D

[Freedom Fighter]

My favorite parts were when Eduardo was actually scaring Mac, and the 'bunny subtitles'... because both were totally unexpected.

Aside from that, nothing else in this episode really jumped at me. Bloo on the 'aggravating' side of his jerk-ness is one thing, but the whole thing about Wilt not panicking while taking forever to sink in that quicksand puddle... that was just weird.

7 out of 10 for "Camp Keep a Good Mac Down."

[raykremer]

Bloo ate two day's worth of food for seven people on the way to the campsite? :eek: That's impressive.

[djthomp]

Couple things I haven't seen mentioned yet, I loved Herriman's last minute instructions for Frankie at the begining.

"Emergency numbers are on the fridge, cabinets, walls, floors, ceilings, floors, and sewed into your clothing."

Don't remember the complete quote, but I also loved the bit with the huge list of chores, "and start by cleaning up this huge list of chores!"

[New Noise™]

I gave it an A-.
