Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends - S1E12

Adoptcalypse Now
First Aired: Friday October 15, 2004

Unbeknownst to Bloo and Mac, it is adoption day at Fosters Home. When they realize the true meaning of the day, they do everything in their power to stop anyone from getting adopted.
This was a good episode that didn't have a whole lot of laughs but just enough to make it funny enough. Bloo and Mac try to bring their friends inside from outside to stop them from being adopted during "Adopt-a-Friend Saturday". The bulk of the episode was spent watching Bloo and Mac scheme and then succeed in bringing friends back into the home. This part of the episode is basically action-packed, with the characters resulting in a Benny Hill Show type of pursuit.

I found the most humorous moments to take place with Mr. Herriman or with Eduardo. Mac slyly points out that Mr. Herriman doesn't wear clothes (ie, the "Daffy Duck complex") and for the rest of the episode, he tries to hold on a pair of pants. As for Eduardo, it is both sweet and funny when he is frightened by the cutest little girl. Besides Bloo, he is perhaps my favorite character due to his naivety and timidness.

As I said, this was a good episode that was mainly based in action with a good touch of humor. Not the best, but certainly not the worst.

Score: 8 / 10
