Goodbye to Bloo
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Cartoon Network
3 May 2009
As I said in an earlier post, I didn't get to see this ep when it premiered. I found out about it the next day. Not even 2 years later I finally got to see the episode. Yeah, the week of 3 May 2009 wasn't the best week for me (for personal reasons). To this day I have seen "Goodbye to Bloo" several times and here's what I think of it.
They tried to make it where Mac would no longer be coming to Foster's when it was something else entirely. This was how they ended the series. Even if I had absolutely no idea this was the actual last episode, I can tell it's the final episode just by seeing how the story proceeds and ends. Toward the very end, upon closing the episode, the ending made my mind flash backwards through the entire series, remembering the great and not-so-great moments that made "Foster's" "Foster's." Don't miss the closing credits. There was a very sincere message from the creators.
I could give this episode the full 5 stars but there was one thing holding it back. Let's say an unwanted visitor showed up...to move in. Ugh! It totally ruined the ending of the episode and series for me. This episode gets 4 stars. Despite that one shortcoming, this was one excellent ending to one...excellent...series. Not all shows are blessed to have that. Makes me want to re-watch the entire series from the pilot to the very end. I just might do that. Here I go!
Update: I have successfully watched the full series 2 times on Hulu. I am currently on my 3rd round completing season 6 (the last season). YAH!
