First season

Episode Number	Production Number	Original Airdate
"House of Bloo's"
01 - 03	101 - 103	August 13, 2004
File:BlooandMacTackle.PNG Bloo (bottom) tackling Mac. We are introduced to eight-year-old Mac and his imaginary friend, Blooregard Q. Kazoo ("Bloo" for short), as Bloo is about to be ejected from Mac's apartment by his mom, who says that they and Mac's older brother, Terrence, age thirteen, have had enough causing trouble and Mac's too old to have an imaginary friend. Mac, however, does not want to give him up until Bloo sees an ad on TV for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. At first, they're hesitant, but after visiting and meeting some new friends — the basketball-obsessed Wilt, the single-word-speaking, losing-her-sanity Coco, and the monstrous coward Eduardo — Bloo decides to stay. Mac says that he'll be back at the home, until Frances "Frankie" Foster, the keeper of the home says it's not a boarding home, but an adoption place. The next day, a filthy rich family wants to adopt a friend, namely Her Royal Duchess Diamond Persnickity the First, Last and Only (Thank goodness!) As Mr. Herriman draws up the papers, their bratty daughter decides she likes Bloo better and wants to call him Tiffany. The others chase them through the house and she shows Bloo to her parents, and Duchess is upset. Mac comes back to save Bloo from adoption, but Duchess and Terrence conspire to rid everyone of Bloo with the help of a ball-and-chain extreme-a-saurus. After a chase through a junkyard and one parody of Pac-Man, Mac and the friends save the day, and Mr. Herriman punishes Duchess by staying at the home, and is about to say that Bloo is up for adoption, until Madame Foster, Frankie's grandmother, arrives and says Bloo can stay as long as Mac visits him everyday. Episode Notes: The title is a pun on the Dan Aykroyd co-founded restaurant/concert venue chain called House of Blues. This is a three-part episode shown back to back. As such, it is counted as three episodes. Mac has what looks like a Game Boy Advance. An Eduardo doll can be spotted in the closet that Mac is locked into. As the Extremeasaurus' main head was chasing Bloo in the junkyard, the junkyard resmembled the maze found in the classic arcade game, Pac-Man. In this case, the extremeasaurus would be Pac-Man himself and Bloo would be one of the ghosts in the game. In this episode, Mac's brother Terrence is banned from setting foot in Foster's ever again and cleaning the unicorn stables. But he would set foot again into the residence in "Seeing Red", "Beat With A Schtick" and "Duchess Of Wails".
"Store Wars"
04	104	August 20, 2004
The gang heads to the local shopping mall to purchase a birthday present — and on Mr. H's insistence, some streamers — for Madame Foster's birthday, but everyone runs amuck in the shopping center, as Bloo calls all of the store clerks a "ripoff artist" and kicks them in the shin after hearing the price of some items, and Coco gets three jobs — as a fast-food server, an information desk worker and as a security guard — all in the same day just to pay for a massage chair for the matriarch of the house. Episode Notes: The title is a pun on the Star Wars franchise Look for visual skewering of Sears (under the signage "Seared"), Victoria's Secret (using "Victorian Indescribables"), and The Sharper Image (renamed "Pointier Image") in this episode. Debuted on Kids' WB on July 9, 2005. This episode debates about who really understands Coco. In the middle of the episode, Coco announces Bloo over the intercom system, but none seems to react utterly. A little later, when Coco is working as a guard, she calls for backup on their intercom system, and a couple seconds later a mass of security officers runs after Frankie, probably understanding what she said.
"The Trouble With Scribbles"
05	105	August 27, 2004
One day Bloo finds a door in Foster's that is to remain closed. He askes Herriman about it but he says that the "Dark, dark secrets" inside must not be released. Bloo's curiosity get's the best of Bloo and he opens the door. Upon opening the door he unleashes a giant mass of Scribbles which Herriman describes as "the purile thoughts of bratlings" or the imaginary friends created by infants. The effort to clean up the Scribbles seems tedious until Bloo discovers that every Scribble can perform a task such as cleaning the dishes, or mopping the floor. After a while the whole house becomes dependent on the Scribbles and Mac sees the Scribbles as exploited slaves and attempts to free them from oppression. People line up to adopt Scribbles because they perform chores and at the end all of them get adopted except one, which Frankie hopes is the one that scrubs toilets but it's the Scribble that blows a raspberry upon command. The episode ends with the Scribble and Bloo's blowing raspberries. Episode Notes: The episode title is a pun off the Star Trek episode entitled "The Trouble with Tribbles". In a flashback, look for a reference to the classic George Orwell novel 1984. Made an over-the-air debut on Kids' WB on July 23, 2005.
"Busted"
06	106	September 3, 2004
While trying to follow the rules established in the home by Mr. Herriman, Bloo breaks a bust of Madame Foster (by accident) and the gang rushes to fix it — resorting to toothpaste, soap and even asking Madame Foster herself to be covered in flour — before Mr. Herriman finds out. Meanwhile, a frustrated and overworked Frankie gets upset over the "Funny Bunny" and those same rules. Episode Notes: Debuted on Kids' WB on July 16, 2005.
"Dinner is Swerved"
07	107	September 10, 2004
It's dinnertime, but a very starving Bloo and Mac are lost in the labyrinthine house, seemingly winding up on the roof every time they try to get to the table. Mr. Herriman feels that everyone shouldn't eat until Bloo arrives, but Madame Foster and Frankie feel otherwise. Can an imaginary food friend named Charlie the Chicken Leg get them downstairs in time to chow down? Episode Notes: The title is a pun on "Dinner is Served." Debuted on Kids' WB on August 6, 2005.
"World Wide Wabbit"
08	108	September 17, 2004
Working on a video with Frankie's digital video camera for the Foster's Home web site, Mac and Bloo accidentally tape a video of Mr. Herriman singing a silly song to his owner. Much to Mac's chagrin, Bloo and Frankie show it to all the friends, then Bloo uploads it onto the world wide web where it becomes an Internet phenomenon. Episode Notes: This story closely resembles the fabled tale of The Star Wars Kid, which has become a cult classic on the web. Dell Computers (identified as "Dull" on Frankie's computer), eBay (shown as "eBun" on the funny bunny site), and the Girls Gone Wild video series all get a visual parody, while Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang gets spoofed here. The title is spoof on the name World Wide Web and Looney Tunes character Elmer Fudd's pronunciation of the word "rabbit" as "wabbit". When Eduardo says "Azul!", captions say "Bonjour!" which is weird because Eduardo can't speak French. Well, maybe a little French in "Foster's Goes to Europe", but we never learned then. This episode was to have aired on Kids' WB August 13th, 2005, but was replaced by a second airing of Pokémon Advanced Challenge earlier in the week. When Bloo sends out the video of Mr. Herriman on the Foster's web site, one of the videos is called "Lord Of The Bunnies" which is an obvious spoof on the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Another spoof seen is "Space Bunny", which is a parody of the Star Wars series of movies.
"Berry Scary"
09	109	September 24, 2004
A cute new friend named Berry shows up at the house and falls in love with Bloo. When Bloo ignores her, she becomes jealous of the friendship of Mac and Bloo, proceeding to "accidentally" break all their attempts for a world record. Episode Notes: The storyline resembles the storyline on a parody of The Young and the Restless entitled The Loved and the Loveless. Look closely for the in-joke of a book entitled BLOCKHEAD'S GUIDE FOR CGI ANIMATION as the reference to Foster's as a computer-animated series. The title is spoofing the way Strawberry Shortcake says "very" as "berry". Debuted on Kids' WB on July 30, 2005. There is what looks like a Nintendo Gamecube in Mac's room. When Mac is in his room, near the photo of him and Bloo there is a poster in the back that reads "Spacer Wars" which is an obvious spoof on Star Wars.
"Seeing Red" / "Phone Home"
10	110	October 1, 2004
In "Seeing Red", Terrence has been the constant victim of Bloo saving his owner's body from harm, citing that "this'll only hurt for a second", so he creates his own imaginary friend — a giant red cube named "Red" — to torment the blue blob. However, it does the opposite of what Terrence wants it to do, namely "kill, destroy, crush, maim (and) smash" while being abused by imaginary bees, a sea monster and unicorns as Bloo gives him a tour of the residence. Only then does Terrence realize that it will ony hurt…for a week! In "Phone Home", Blooregard mistakes a man in a cell phone costume with the zipper stuck as one of his own, and brings him to Foster's trying to out-do Wilt winning the "Friend of the Month" award. Look for plenty of jokes about "mobile phones" and "cell phones" as well as Eduardo being told by Blooregard that "I'm on the phone" in the script. And when Mac finds a perfect example of an imaginary friend, what does he get for his reward? Episode Notes: This is the first two-part episode.
"Who Let The Dogs In?"
11	111	October 8, 2004
After a couple mistakenly brings a dog to Foster's, Eduardo brings a puppy (an imaginary one) into the house and tries to hide him from the deathly afraid of dogs Mr. Herriman Meanwhile, Bloo's trying to make a time machine, but Mac finds more (imaginary) puppies. What will Herriman do? Episode Notes: The title is a reference to the 2000 song by the Baha Men entitled Who Let The Dogs Out?. Among the spoofs here are references to the 1980s rock group Frankie Goes to Hollywood when Bloo tells the funny bunny that "Frankie says 'relax'", a pun on a James Bond movie title (Licence to Kill) on an apron and the movie Gremlins near the end of the episode. The puppies names are: Chewy, Juanita, Estella (named by Eduardo), Michael, Magic, Kareem, (by Wilt), Buckaroo, Lucy (named by Mac), Stupid (named by Blooregard), and three named by Coco as "Coco." Wilt names all his pet dogs after famous basketball players in the story. He names them Michael after Michael Jordan, Magic after Ervin "Magic" Johnson and Kareem after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
"Adoptcalypse Now"
12	112	October 15, 2004
When the house holds a special event called "Adopt-A-Thought Saturday," Mac and Bloo conspire to keep their good friends from being adopted by little kids. Unfortunately, their plans fail and the two have to deal with being tied to a chair in a closet during the next "Adopt-A-Thought Saturday". Episode Notes: Look for cameoes by the title character, Pops and Carl from the Johnny Bravo series and Cousin Itt from The Adams Family. The title is a pun on Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 movie Apocalypse Now. Debuted on Kids' WB August 13, 2005. When the children are chasing Bloo through the yard of Foster's, the music (along with the camera angles and their movements) is a takeoff on The Benny Hill Show in which, at the end of almost every episode, an exaggerated chase scene would occur with the same wacky music each time. As the chase would continue, more and more people would become involved with it until it would become one long line of people chasing after each other (in this case Bloo, then the kids, followed by Mr. Herriman, Frankie and Eduardo).
"Bloooooo!"
13	113	October 22, 2004
"It was a dark and stormy night." Frightened by a scary movie, Coco, Wilt and Eduardo mistake a cold-ridden Bloo (who has turned white) for a ghost. Included is a sub-plot where a scared Frankie tries to enter the locked house while being followed by a mystery person with a hook for a hand (revealed as an imaginary friend looking for the house). Episode Notes: Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart is referenced in this episode. The title is an obvious pun on ghosts say "Boo!". There is a reference to the Ghostbusters movies in this Halloween-themed episode when Wilt asks Coco "Who you gonna call?" Coco answers "Co-coco" in a rhythm simillar to the line to the Ray Parker, Jr. theme song "Ghostbusters", Wilt responds "Nah, they've been out of business for years" in a reference to Ghostbusters II where the movie starts with the company no longer in business. There is also a brief The Honeymooners reference when a scared Wilt does Ralph Kramden's famous "hummina-hummina-hummina" stammer. The fact that Frankie was being chased by a hook-handed man is an obvious parody of the I Know What You Did Last Summer plot. You can clearly see the three pictures of The Powerpuff Girls on Frankie's shirt in this episode Screenshot Of Frankie And The Three PPG Pictures

Second season

Episode Number	Production Number	Original Airdate
"Partying Is Such Sweet Soireé"
14	201	January 21, 2005
File:MAC2.png Mac blowing a (sugar-free) bubble. Madame Foster and Frankie have gone away for the day, and leave Mr. Herriman in charge of the house, and needless to say, he's not good at it. Bloo feels that this is a great time to throw a party, and Coco disguises her voice to call the rabbit and ask him that old prank call if his refrigarator is running, which Herriman takes literally and starts out of the house (when in fact, there was an imaginary friend icebox doing just that during the credits) When Duchess and Mac try to bring the party to a halt, Bloo tempts Mac with his one weakness: sugar. Apparently, Mac has a strange condition where if he has a single molecule of sugar, he goes on a sugar rush. Mac continues to consume sugar, and eventually ends up rampaging around town in his birthday suit. Episode Notes: The title is a pun on the line from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet "Parting is such sweet sorrow." When Bloo is trying to give candy to Mac, he wears a red-and-white striped stovepipe hat similar to Dr. Seuss' The Cat In The Hat. When Mac is trying to explain about Bloo staying in the house in direct violation of Mr. H's rules, Bloo asks "Do I have to fight for my right to party?", he uses the title of the Beastie Boys' song from 1986. Later, when Mac is on his sugar rush, he sings out loudly "Pour some sugar on Mac!", a play on the title of the 1985 Def Leppard song "Pour Some Sugar on Me." The DJ friend looks like a characture of "Bootsy" Collins from Parlement Funkadelic. Dancy Pantalones claims to be "the best dancer with the worst reputation", a line that was in both the Broadway and movie versions of Grease which was spoken about a girl from a Catholic school with the same problem. When Mac says "You wouldn't like me when I have sugar", he makes reference to Bill Bixby' s portrayal of David Banner in the television series based on the Marvel comic book series The Incredible Hulk, where he says "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" before turning into the Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). Mac has a mixture of "Fizzy Rox" and soda, a visual reference to the urban legend about the child who played Mikey in the Life Cereal advertisements that claimed he was killed by mixing Pop Rocks and soda. That story was untrue. In an interview with Animation Insider, Sean Marquette, who voices Mac, says that this episode was his favorite because he got to "scream and go crazy for a few hours". When Bloo gives Mac sugar free gum, Mac grabs his throat and shouts "It burns us, it burns us" this is a refrence to Gollum from Lord Of The Rings trilogy when Sam has tied a rope around his neck and Gollum shouts those words. When Bloo tells Billy the Squid that the fruit punch is too sour and needs more sugar, the imaginary friend takes out a box of sugar which resembles the sugar Professor Utonium uses to create The Powerpuff Girls.
"The Big Lablooski"
15	202	January 28, 2005
When Madame Foster loses half her bowling team to her rival, Mrs. Jerhkins, because she bribed them with lace doilies, she turns to Mac and the friends to help win their upcoming match against Jerhkins' team. Bloo would rather play with his Chinese finger trap and try to win a paddleball in a crane game at the arcade inside the bowling center. When Mac gets thrown off the team because Blooregard's a better bowler, he turns to an imaginary guru named Bowling Paul for advice…with disastrous, albeit happy, results. Episode Notes: See the movies section of the trivia article below for specific references. Only Shirley's name is on a nametag.
"When There's a Wilt, There's a Way" / "Everyone Knows It's Bendy"
16	203	February 4, 2005
In "When There's a Wilt, There's a Way", while getting a bowl of potato chips for Bloo, a series of ridiculous demands keeps Wilt from watching the big game on the television, first in the house, like changing a lightbulb or doing laundry, and then outside the home, such as helping an old lady across the street, being framed for a robbery that he didn't commit, going into outer space as an astronaut, delivering anchovies to a pizza shop, making the pizza, and delivering it to the police station where he gets locked up again. All he has to say is "no", but he just can't do so. In "Everyone Knows It's Bendy", the parents of a young child whose imaginary friend named Bendy (voiced by Jeff Bennett) has caused trouble around their house, and for his own good, leaves him at Foster's. The gang has all sorts of problems, and Bendy frames them to Mr. Herriman and Frankie as he claims to say they have done the dirty deeds. Now it's up to Bloo to catch him in the act. Episode Notes: This is the second two-part episode. The first title refers to the phrase "When there's a will, there's a way", while the second makes reference to a line from The Association's 1967 Number One hit "Windy", citing "Everyone knows it's Windy". The ending of "Everyone Knows it's Bendy", where Bloo is punished for the destruction he caused in the act of proving Bendy's wrongdoing with Bendy apprently geting off scot-free, has been meet with much scorn with the fans and has been appolgiesed for by Lauren Faust who admited the episode (and the intent of Bloo's downfall being ironic) somewhat backfired on both her and the writing team (See [1]).
"Sight for Sore Eyes" / "Bloo's Brothers"
17	204	March 4, 2005
In "Sight for Sore Eyes", an imaginary seeing-eye friend named Ivan (voiced by Kevin McDonald) who has twenty eyes has been separated from his blind owner, Stevie (a reference to musician Stevie Wonder), and it's up to Mac and Bloo to find the child. Meanwhile, Wilt, Coco and Eduardo have played a game of hide-and-seek and believe Bloo ditched them, then they find him in a trash dumpster and think Mac abandoned him. Can they all get together and have their act straightened out in time to find Ivan's owner? In "Bloo's Brothers", Mac makes Blooregard the subject of his weekly show-and-tell at his school. The classmates are so amazed, they want to make up their own versions of Bloo, and as a reward for publicizing the home, Frankie and the others give them tickets to the Ice Charades (a spoof of the old Ice Capades skating show). But all Mac's classmates are not thrilled about their Bloo clones, and bring them to Foster's. How will these lookalikes save the Ice Charades when a star skater is out with an injury? Episode Notes: This is the third two-part episode. The setting where Stevie's birthday party takes place is called "Van Dyke Park", which plays off the name of musician Van Dyke Parks. The home's address, listed as 1123 Wilson Way, was first mentioned by Mac in this episode. Look (very quickly) for Bart Simpson and Homestar Runner-like versions of Bloo.
"Cookie Dough"
18	205	March 11, 2005
On a very rainy day in the middle of winter, the house's roof leaks beyond all control because Madame Foster used the emergency money to buy a gold safe, which prompts Bloo to sell lemonade, which is a major flop because lemonade is usually sold in the summer. When the home's matriarch brings out some of her cookies, people start buying them, but there's one problem: she only bakes them once a year. So Blooregard buys the rights to the recipe, and the power of ownership goes straight to his head, and he becomes a successful businessman at his friends expense. Bloo continues to push all of his workers to work harder, and, in the process, almost loses his friends by acting like — in Mac's words — "a royal jerkface." Episode Notes: The title is a pun on "dough," which can mean both dough for baking and dough as slang for money. In this story, Bloo mentions both Aron City from Johnny Bravo and Townsville from McCracken's previous series, The Powerpuff Girls in announcing cities that placed orders for the cookies. The Clear Cookie that Bloo tries to sell could be a spoof on Crystal Pepsi. Bloo shouts Donald Trump's catch phrase from The Apprentice (and to an extent, WWE owner Vince McMahon), "You're fired!" (listen when he says "YOU'RE ALL FIRED! F-I-R-D! FIRED!"). In the end credits we see Frankie eating the cookies like she did only with a difference, she gained a massive amount of weight.
"Frankie My Dear"
19	206	March 18, 2005
Both Mac and Bloo develop a crush on Frankie after Mac gets her get out of doing some paperwork of Mr. H's, and they compete with one another for her love, but she falls for a secret boyfriend. The two become jealous, and thwart Chris (misconstrued as either Chad or Quinn), a pizza-delivery boy and an imaginary Prince Charming who uses lame pick-up lines from singles bars that Frankie gets in contact with, but when the see the real suitor, a Gen-Xer named Dylan Lee, they decide to proceed and spoil their date, dressing up as "Orlando Bloo", a pun on the name of actor Orlando Bloom and Prince Charming comes along in drag. Only when Dylan proves to be just plain stuck-up, Frankie realizes who her true friends are. The episode ends with Frankie punching her ex in the face. Episode Notes: The title is a pun off what the American Film Institute's survey of famous movie lines considered the number one classic movie line in the 1939 adaptation of Gone with the Wind as Clark Gable said "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." The Prince Charming in this episode is similar to Prince Phillip in Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty, except he is drawn with a more muscular body and has blonde hair. Chris works in "Geromno's Pizza" this is the parody of Domino's Pizza. Wilt, Eduardo, Coco, Madame Foster and Mr. Herriman are not in this episode, although Mr. Herriman was mentioned and Frankie says see you later to Madame Foster. Orlando Bloo would later re-appear in "Neighbor Pains" with Wilt helping him out. Later, when Mac appeared in the episode, he disgustedly complains that Blooregard did Orlando Bloo without him.
"Mac Daddy"
20	207	May 6, 2005
One morning, Mac wakes up to find an imaginary friend named Cheese sleeping in his bed, similar to a scene in the 1972 movie The Godfather. Alas and alack, Mac thinks he created a new friend, when in fact, his neighbor, Lousie, created him. Madame Foster allows him to stay under the same rules as Bloo at the house, and Bloo doesn't like it one bit, trying to get rid of him. After failing a few times, Cheese goes out on his own in the house, and Blooregard realizes that the house could be too dangerous for someone as amazingly dumb as Cheese. Will Bloo find him before Mac notices he's gone? Episode Notes: Listen for a running gag involving mac and cheese, blue cheese, cheese and crackers and "Cheese, Louise" (which to English speakers, is "Geez, Louise"). The title refers to the 1990's rap duo Kris Kross which featured Chris Kelly, a.k.a. "The Mac Daddy." Cheese returned for a cameo in "The Big Picture", and returns in the fourth season episode "The Big Cheese". In a store, there is a "Toys For Toddlers" display bin where Cheese is dropped off by Bloo. The name is a pun on the annual Christmas toy drive by the United States Marine Corps called "Toys for Tots".
"Squeakerboxxx"
21	208	May 13, 2005
The gang pays a visit to The Bee Hive Arcade (a parody of Chuck E. Cheese's) and pool all their tickets to buy a pink squeaky elephant, but all argue over who should own it…that is, until Frankie decides that everyone should share it. Coco displays it on her turn, Eduardo nurses it like a child, Wilt (who wanted to name it "Harry Elefante") plays basketball with it and Mac (who suggested the name "Donald Trunk") teases Bloo with the "baby waby pachyderm". When Bloo gets his chance, he squeaks away and it drives everyone crazy sqeaking it repeatedly until Frankie tells him his turn is over. That night, Bloo sneaks into Frankie's room, and takes the elephant from the music box she keeps it in, but while playing with it, it breaks. The next morning, Mac overhears Bloo telling himself he broke it, so it's time for another trip to the arcade to get a new elephant. What are the chances that will happen? Episode Notes: Alternate title: "Pachyderm Panic". Look for another chase scene based on those in The Benny Hill Show in this episode, and the guy behind the counter at the bowling center from "The Big Leblooski" at a new job. The title is a pun on part of 2003's OutKast double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.
"Beat With A Schtick"
22	209	May 20, 2005
A big, scary new friend seemingly takes Bloo's comedy the wrong way in the eyes of the others, and Blooregard is scared that he's be finally be getting what he deserves, and it's not a race car bed or bubble gum flavored medicine, either. Madame Foster seizes the chance to lay down bets against Bloo lasting thirty seconds against him, and tries everything from breaking all the clocks in the house or hiding in houseplants (until he gets ratted out by Jackie Khones) and trying to get expelled from the premises and even resorting to Terrence to beat him up, but it turns out to be different than he thought, but Blooregard still gets it in the end when he critiques his comedy act. Episode Notes: The title puns the cliché "Beat with a stick." The small orange friend who kicks Bloo out of his house (a hat) bears a striking resemblance to Ristar. The New Guy resembles Sully from Monsters Inc. or Sweetums from The Muppet Show. The scene where the New Guy "steps" in is a reference to the film Godzilla, especially its teaser-trailer which had a scene where a T-Rex model gets crushed by a giant foot of Godzilla. The scene may also refer to the classic Marv Newland cult animation short Bambi Meets Godzilla.
"Sweet Stench of Success"
23	210	May 27, 2005
When Bloo is jealous of the others for appearing on a segment of the local TV station's newscast, he feigns illness, appears on TV and a Hollywood producer named Kip Snip notices. Suddenly, he's the star of deodorant ads for a product we later find out that actually doesn't work, and Kip makes Blooregard (who is now known as "DEO", the product's package mascot) sleep in a cage as he tries to get out of the contract — which Mr. Snip claims are adoption papers — and Bloo uses an old-fashioned variety special on TV to rat him out. How will Bloo and Mac be reunited? Episode Notes: Kip Snip's name may be a pun on the name of a character from the musical Little Shop of Horrors named Skip Snip. The scene where Bloo signs the contract from "Store Wars" also took place in this episode. Mr. Snip had the same voice as that clerk who sold beepers and he said the same synch from that clerk. Watch for a cameo by Chris from "Frankie My Dear". Sara Bellum, from The Powerpuff Girls, makes a cameo appearance in this episode. The title plays off the 1957 movie and failed 2002 Broadway musical Sweet Smell of Success. The title of the TV show Bloo-as-DEO appears in — The Deo Good Time Variety Hour — is a play off the 1969-1972 TV show The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour that aired on CBS. In the UK broadcasts of this episode, there is no title card. A Mexican TV advertisement for Deo is displayed in the show. The Spanish phrase at the end of such ad spoof is wrong. The Spanish word for Deodorant is "Desodorante", not "Desorizante" as shown in this episode. Also, the "Viva para el Deo" tagline is weird on its own. The correct wording for that is simply "Viva Deo". The Spanish dub has a voice-over that ignores the text on screen and says a corrected version of it instead.
"Bye Bye Nerdy"
24	211	July 1, 2005
When Bloo beats the high score of Mac in a Space Invaders-type video game, he proceeds to go to Mac's school and tell him by rubbing it in his face. However, Mac has been sent to detention for throwing a spit wad at another student, so Bloo thinks Mac has become - gasp! - a nerd! When Mac makes his daily visit, Blooregard's attempts to make Mac the coolest kid in school are failures, even to the point where one kid asks if the clothes he's wearing were "bought at the 1987 store." Mac says he doesn't care, which is news to Jamez Witazee, the coolest kid in town, and invites him down to "The Rock" after school the next day. With Mac's absence, Mr. Herriman decides Bloo's eligiable for adoption, so how will he survive this double whammy? By using a line from the 1980 Blues Brothers movie and trying to avoid getting caught similar to what happened in the opening credits of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Episode Notes: This episode's title is a spoof of the Broadway and Hollywood musical Bye Bye Birdie. We see Frankie at her computer for the first time since "World Wide Wabbit" in this episode. Jamez Witazee is a pun on the 1972 TV special Liza with a Z, starring Liza Minelli.
"Bloo Done It"
25	212	July 8, 2005
When Bloo becomes popular for publishing a newsletter for the Foster's residence, he suddenly gets upsurged when the first, best and original friend of the house, Uncle Pockets (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) pays a visit, and he charms the others. Bloo is jealous of the attention Uncle Pockets is getting, and is suuus-piii-cioouus (a sing-song running joke) of him, so he plans to write up in the newsletter that Uncle Pockets is a fraud…until he overhears what he thinks is a plan to eliminate Madame Foster, even as going as to tell Mr. Herriman and Frankie about "rubbing her out" when in fact, the house matriarch is getting a trip to a day spa…complete with a massage. Will Bloo stop this in time? Episode Notes: Originally titled "Bloo With Envy". The title plays off the phrase "Whodunit?" for mysteries. Bloo parodies Inspector Gadget with a flying hat and Harry Potter's invisibility cloak when trying to talk about his version of Uncle Pockets' story. The main character of the episode, Uncle Pockets, is a clear parody of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and is named after a Danny Kaye song.
"My So-Called Wife"

When Benjamin Edward Factor III, Esquire, D.D.S., a rich philantrophist, mistakes Coco for being Mr. H's wife, he decides right then and there to promptly enter them into a contest to be held at a challenging gala for lots of cash ($10 million US to be exact), and amongst the compitition are none other than Bloo and Mac, who want jet cars. As it turns out, Bloo and Mac win, but when they realize he doesn't have the money, he trips out in the middle of the night, then the real rich guy appears and everyone there — including Mr. Herriman, Coco, Blooregard and Mac — spend the night in jail. Episode Notes: Look for extensive references to the Lerner and Loewe musical My Fair Lady (and in turn, the George Bernard Shaw play that inspired it, Pygmalion) in this episode, such as a parody of the line "the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain," and a parody of the names Eynsford-Hill and Pickering, along with a tribute to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the final round of the gala's contest involving jet cars. The episode's title is a pun on the short-lived Claire Danes TV series My So-Called Life. The benefactor in this episode is named Benjanmin Edward Factor III. When shortened, his name is Ben E. Factor, as in the word "benefactor." Goof: Bloo and Mac are not old enough to be in jail because Bloo is five years old, and Mac is only eight. Wilt and Eduardo seen in this episode but have no lines. Madame Foster doesn't appear in this episode as well.

Third season

Episode Number	Production Number	Original Airdate
"Eddie Monster"
27	301	July 22, 2005
File:F1a030a7.jpg The titular characters from Ed, Edd n Eddy and Dexter's Laboratory make a cameo, Foster's style. Eduardo runs away from the home to prove he's not a total coward after trying to retrieve a "whizbee" (a spoof of Wham-O's "Frisbee" flying disc) from the Extreme-a-saurus cage. Terrence finds him in the slums of town in a dumpster, and recruits him to be a fighter in the Extreme-a-saur fighting circuit. Terrence keeps it a secret…that is, until he lets the preverbial cat out of the "tater" bag to Mac at home. Can Bloo and the others get to Eduardo before harm is done? Episode Notes: Watch for Fosterized versions of the titluar characters from Ed, Edd 'n Eddy, Dexter's Lab and Pokémon, as well as that little girl and counter man at The Prize Hive from "Squeakerboxxx". The title is a pun on the character Edward Wolfgang "Eddie" Munster (played by Butch Patrick) of The Munsters. One of the extremeasaurs looks like the Great Mazinger.
"Hiccy Burp"
28	302	September 5, 2005
Mac finds a rival in his school named Richie Wildebrat talking about his imaginary friend, Blake Superior, being the best in the world. Bloo gets an earful from Mac about it and decides to drink mass quantities of soda and eat a few bags of potato chips, and gets the "invincible" hiccups. Everyone tries to rid Bloo of his hiccups before the county imaginary friends talent show pageant, which serves as the home's annual fund raising event. On registration day, Richie brags to Mac about it so much, that Mac decides to enter Bloo in the contest, using the hiccups to Bloo's advantage in the talent segment, which Richie and Blake are secretly viewing…and proceed to steal the act, which makes Bloo lose those hiccups. Can those hiccups come back and be a blessing or a curse for him in the contest? And will Wilt do a better job hosting than the previous year? Episode Notes: The title is a pun on the Quincy Jones song Hikky Burr, which was the theme to The Bill Cosby Show from 1969 to 1971. Most web posters on forums and other web sites believe Richie and Blake are similar to Calvin and Hobbes. Again, the debate on Coco's communication skills continues on when she replaces Wilt in the Talent Show Pagent host's role. Blake Superior is a reference to Lake Superior in Michigan.
"Camp Keep a Good Mac Down"
29	303	September 9, 2005
Survival of the fittest in the wilderness is the story here when Bloo hogs up all the food when the friends go camping. So, they try to rough it: Bloo tries to grow a beard with honey and pine needles, much to Mac's disbelief; Mr. Herriman goes after some food, gets befriended by rabbits, and goes feral; Madame Foster befriends a bear; Coco takes over for Bloo while fishing and refuses a request to have a can opener laid from one of her eggs; Eduardo is scared about all of this, and Wilt gets stuck in, er, quicksand. And all of this a half-mile from home? Episode Notes: The title is a pun on the phrase (and song title) "Can't keep a good man down." There is a parody of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit with Mr. Herriman as the credits roll.
"Imposter's Home For Uh, Make 'Em Up Pals"
30	304	September 16, 2005
"Goofball" John McGee comes to Foster's and drives Frankie nuts on a night when she plans to go to a concert, and is out to prove him as a fraud as McGee wreaks havoc by eating all the food in the kitchen with Bloo and Frankie has to go shopping for some more food and orders out for pizza when three human friends come over. Even Mr. Herriman, Coco, Blooregard, Wilt and Eduardo fall for this, and Goofball makes a call to Canada for his owners, but when Frankie decides to fight fire with fire — becoming an imaginary friend named Goof-Goof, with a tutu, deely bobbers and Groucho Marx funny nose glasses and impression — Goofball unmasks her and Frankie has to miss the concert with the Fake Outz because she is told by Mr. Herriman that she has to clean the house from top to bottom. When they return from the concert with new T-shirts, and Goofball's family arrives, much to Frankie's surprise, it turns out that Goofball is an imaginary friend with an elephant trunk-type nose from hiding inside his red clown nose. Episode Notes: The episode's title is a spoof of the name of the series.
"Duchess of Wails"
31	305	September 23, 2005
Duchess is adopted by Mac's new next-door neighbors, the Applebees, Mac didn't even know about that, and because of this, Mac's mother (making her first appearance since "House of Bloo's") and Terrence are thinking about moving somewhere else, far away from the home like Singapore…in Malaysia before 1965, and not Wisconsin. So Mac and Bloo decide to sabotage the Applebee apartment and show Duchess what she really is, but those darned Applebees think otherwise of their vandalism, praising Duchess instead, and the two resort to kidnapping her. What will happen? Episode Notes: The title is a pun off the royal name Princess of Wales. The "attack" of Bloo and Mac bears striking resemblence to the Defense of Helm's Deep from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. James L. Venable and Jennifer Kes Remington won an Annie for Best Original Score in an Animated Television Series in 2006. In the penultimate scene, when everybody at Foster's starts to throw tomatoes, Bloo screams "Attack of the killer tomatoes!", which is obviously a reference to the cult movie (and animated series) of the same name. The reasoning behind another scene (trying to pass through a doorway in order to forcibly activate a mystical law) is a probable reference to Dogma. In addition to those, Madame Foster's quote, "Show them what's up, Doc!" is an obvious reference to Looney Tunes' lead protagonist Bugs Bunny. Duchess refers to Bloo and Mac as "Blinky" and "Clyde", two of the ghost monsters from the arcade game Pac Man. This may be because of Bloo's resemblance to the ghost monsters. Once during the episode, Mac appears to be listening to an Apple iPod. In this episode, there's an orange imaginary friend that looks suspiciously like Homestar Runner's Trogdor. They made a mistake in this episode, Singapore is not actually in Malaysia it used to be, but it was before the episode was even created. Duchess's only Season Three appearance.
"Foster's Goes To Europe"
32	306	November 4, 2005
Mac and the friends win a contest where the prize is a European vacation. Things go awry on the day of the trip departure: Madame Foster needs her older-than-her babysitter, Wilt has to pack the essentials (nothing), Eduardo can only take one Beanie Buddie, Coco is afraid to fly, even though she is part bird and part plane, Mr. Herriman has to reschedule everything over and over and Mac is harried while a new friend, Eurotrish dreams of going, but Bloo takes the ticket given to her while singing every time he changes his mind, and to make things even worse, someone has sabotaged the bus by taking all the sparkplugs. It all has a happy ending... that is until they arrive at the airport and Mac finds out the tickets are gone. Madame Foster snitched them and went to Europe with her friends and Eurotrish. Episode Notes: Look for cameos by Mrs. Jehrkins and her bowling team from "The Big Leblooski" as well as the old lady in the store from "Imposter's Home For Uh, Make 'Em Up Pals" as part of a surprise twist ending. You can spot Jacques Tati's creation Monsieur Hulot in his trademark hunched walk by the characters in the airport toward the end with his pipe, hat and umbrella. The brand of Deodrant from "Sweet Stench of Success" named "Deo" appears in Wilt's bag before being thrown out. Also, Bloo is seen watching the Spanish Deo ad on TV.
"Go Goo Go"
33	307	November 11, 2005
After meeting Mac when his backpack breaks trying to recover an eight-person toboggan in the middle of June in a tree (don't ask), Goo Goo Gaga introduces herself to Mac, who is introduced to Bloo. Goo then goes insane upon meeting the best friends and creates many new friends. One small problem, though: Frankie and Mr. Herriman have banned this "total nut job" for her hyperactive imagination because her parents can't repress her creativity. So when Goo returns, she goes over the top as far as making new friends and overfills the house with imaginary friends, and Frankie and Mr. Herriman think Goo and Mac are... boyfriend and girlfriend? Mac is banned until Goo is no longer creating friends of the imaginary variety... so will there be a solution, and will Mac's backpack ever be repaired? Episode Notes: The episode's title character (Goo) is a reference to the title of the 1990 Sonic Youth album Goo which contained the song My Friend Goo. Goo came back to Foster's to help solve a mystery about a picture taken years ago in "The Big Picture", organizing another "Adopt-A-Thought Saturday" in "Neighbor Pains" and will return in "Make Believe-It-or-Not". The fact that a tobbagan is stuck in a tree may be another reference to Calvin and Hobbes. This episode waqs nominated for an Emmy in 2006 in the category "Best Animated Program Under One Hour."
"Crime After Crime"
34	308	November 18, 2005
Mr. Herriman is addicted to carrots and can't stop, so when Frankie discovers that all the carrots are gone, Coco gets framed by the chief rabbit in charge and is sent to her room... without supper, along with everyone else except Blooregard. Madame Foster offers to give cooking lessons to Frankie of a mish-mash she calls "it"…a recipe so seemingly hideous, Madame Foster doesn't even know that pieces of plaster from the ceiling where Bloo, Mr. Herriman, Eduardo and Mac bouncing on the bed in her bedroom places plaster into what Bloo believes is "vomit" (which Frankie catches Mac bouncing her grandma's bed, and thus getting kicked out the house), so he decides he wants to be punished without supper, but every time he tries to stop Mr. Herriman, such as using "Gelatin-O" (Cartoon Network wouldn't use the brand name Jell-O) to fill his office with the product, put banana peels on the stairwell, causing the Funny Bunny to take a deep fall down a few flights of stairs or even trying to use a wrecking ball to destroy the house, only to have Herriman find Eduardo, who had been "stalking" him, he gets nothing but praise from Mr. Herriman. Meanwhile, Wilt has a problem about punishment, so he winds up in jail — with Mr. Herriman, who was caught "stealing" Madame Foster's diamonds Bloo had planted in Mac's backpack, and what's on the menu in jail? Carrots! Episode Notes: Watch for cameos of Todd the newscaster (misnamed as Ted by everyone) from "Sweet Stench of Success", the puppies from "Who Let The Dogs In?", and the policeman who has made several appearances before. The title of the episode puns off Cyndi Lauper's 1984 hit song Time After Time. Bloo says "Guess who's not coming to dinner", which is a reference to the 1967 film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
"Land of the Flea"
35	309	November 25, 2005
Chewy (from "Who Let The Dogs In?") has returned to the home, and joins his owner, Eduardo, at the beauty salon one morning. After Eduardo is primped for the day, he feels Chewy needs to be cleaned up, so he decides to give her a bath, and lo and behold, fleas (the imaginary variety) jump into Eduardo, leading to Bloo, Jackie, Brushy and one of several monkeys to label him as a "weirdo". When Mr. Herriman and Frankie overhear that Eduardo has the fleas, they take drastic measures to rid them from his fur, such as trying to give him a bath, or giving him a flea collar, or resorting to sending him down to the salon with a flea comb imaginary friend waiting for him. Meanwhile, Bloo wants fleas for some reason, and Mac won't let him. What will Blooregard do to get fleas, and what would be the ultimate solution? Episode Notes: Look for a cameo from The New Guy from "Beat With A Schtick" in this episode. The title is a pun on a line in The Star-Spangled Banner that reads "O'er the land of the free..." A sign similar to the one in "The Trouble with Scribbles" is put on the door to the Flea's room in the house. Also, Bloo has another "Secret Door" fit in the end credits. After Eduardo's treatment at the beginning, he looks like the Cowardly Lion from the famous movie "The Wizard Of Oz".
"One False Movie"
37	311	February 10, 2006
File:Craigmccrackenanimatedform.jpg Series creator/executive producer Craig McCracken played the producer of "Lauren Is Explorin". Mac decides to make a home movie about Foster's for his school project, but then Bloo adds some "pooting" noises, and turns it into a funny movie that the school principal loves. Mac is then entered into a statewide student film competition, and Bloo turns the film into a blockbuster hit. The film costs money, so Mac starts selling collectible stuff, including some of Madame Foster's possessions, on SchmeBay to raise more money. Meanwhile, Eduardo, worried about the armpit skills of Bloo, not believing he has a "pooting" problem, writes to the executive producer of "Lauren Is Explorin'" to tell them about it, and makes a special episode. The night before the premiere, Eduardo sees the tape and records the special "Lauren is Explorin'" episode. At the theatre, the film cuts out in the middle, showing the "Lauren Is Explorin'" that Eduardo had recorded, and everyone ends up hating the film. The episode ends when Bloo says that shows don't need ending, appropriately cutting him off half-way through the statement. Episode Notes: The title puns the phrase and the 1992 Billy Bob Thornton movie One False Move. SchmeBay is another spoof of eBay, the other being "eBun" in "World Wide Wabbit". The cartoon that Eduardo watches ("Lauren is Explorin'") is an obvious spoof of Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. preschool TV series Dora the Explorer. Oddly enough, series supervising producer (and the wife of Craig McCracken) Lauren Faust uses the name "Explorin' Lauren" on the BLOGregard Q. Kazoo web page. A caricature of Tom Hanks makes a cameo appearance. Tom does not do the voice, however. The mumbled voice is done by Keith Ferguson. An animated version of series creator/executive producer McCracken (as himself, above) appears as the producer of "Lauren is Explorin'" in this episode, and listen when he says that "it's time for a very special episode... Lauren?" as an in-joke about his wife. Also, the only visible door in the cartoon studio's room — the producer's office — is covered in barbed wire at the top and sides and there is a M*A*S*H-style megaphone at the upper right corner of the door. This is another in-joke from the animators at Cartoon Network regarding the hard work they do and what little (perceived) work McCracken does for the show. On the previously mentioned BLOGregard Q. Kazoo pages, he's known as Craig MAC Cracken. There are spoofs of James Bond, Jurassic Park, The Matrix, I, Robot, Back to the Future (look for the DeLorian DMC-12 look-alike with the exception of the doors in particular), E.T., western movies, Smash Mouth's song "All Star" used in the opening of Shrek and Citizen Kane to name a few. In the movie, Eduardo refused to take part in the filming, so a 3-D computer version was used in his place. We learn that Eduardo, according to Bloo in his narration of Eduardo's part, is an ogre. Bloo plays Super Mega Blasteriods 9 from "Bye Bye Nerdy" prior to be talked to by Mac. Bloo buys a megaphone on SchmeBay that was owned by film-maker Cecil B. DeMille, who mistakenly pronounced his last name as "DeMilly".
"Setting A President"
38	312	February 17, 2006
Frankie decides she's had enough of Mr. Herriman's oppression, so one night at dinner, she throws an open challenge for President of Foster's: her, Herriman and Bloo. At first, the tides are clearly in favor of Frankie and her honest, "woman of the people" campaign - with everybody cheering her during the official debate - so a worried Mr. Herriman convinces Bloo to drop out of the race and become his campaign manager. Together, they bombard the house with unsavory attack ads against Frankie; complete with a paid-advertisement song (which even she admits is catchy). The redhead, instead of attacking her competition, does a heartfelt speech over the intercom to win the friends back. The next day, the election is held, and when the results are tabulated…Frankie wins by a landslide, getting 1,287 votes while Mr. Herriman gets only 52 (and Coco gets one write-in vote). From the get-go, Frankie proves to be a very successful and well-liked president; however, as a result, Mr. Herriman decides to leave the house for good, and becomes a grocery bagger at a supermarket. This, along with the discovery that her new payday consists of a few pennies and carrots, causes Frankie to reconsider and put the rabbit back in charge. Episode Notes: Madame Foster says to Frankie "With great power comes great responsibility". This message is used as a theme from the movie Spider-Man. She even says after that, "I'm thinking about renting a DVD. Something actiony!" The title is a pun on the phrase "Setting a precedent." Political jokes abound in this episode, ranging to "mudslinging" to "attack ads". When Mr. Herriman is in the shopping mall asking for a job as the Easter Bunny, look for the first imaginary Santa and listen for the jazzy version of Jingle Bells from "A Lost Claus". Timelinewise, the show holds to a mild continuity, as evidenced when Mac peppers Bloo with all the trouble he's gotten into (all of what he lists are from previous episodes in Seasons 1-3). However, in "their" world, this episode apparently takes place sometime around late November/early December, as shown by the Santa Claus at the mall. During the presidential debate Bloo is dressed up as Abraham Lincoln. Bloo stating that "2 + 3 = 42" could possibly be a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams wherein "42" is the answer to a millineia-old question on why everything exists. "2 + 3 = 6" could be a reference to George Orwell's novel 1984, the second reference of that book in the series. Mr. Herriman working as a bagboy in a grocery store after losing the election (and thus the only life he knew) is a reference to Stephen King's novel The Shawshank Redemption. In the film version Brooks, an elderly ex-con, can only find work as a bagboy in a grocery store after finally being released from prison; a prisoner's life being the only one he had known for several decades, just as Mr. Herriman notes that it had been "30 years" for himself. This also hints Frankie is about 22 years old
"Room With A Feud"
39	313	March 17, 2006
After a calculator friend called Poindexter Dorkface III moves away, a new room is available. Bloo, Coco, Eduardo, and Wilt all end up seeing the room and wanting it. Mr. Herriman decides to let them sort it out amongst themselves. Not willing to let anyone else have it, the four perform various contests and tasks to see who gets it. During these contests, an imaginary friend named Peanut Butter also tries to get the room. Frankie takes advantage of their eagerness to get them to do her chores. Tired of all the fighting, Mr. Herriman gets Mac to decide when he shows up. Mac isn't sure what's going on, believing someone to be in trouble, so he picks Peanut Butter. No one is happy about the decision, they try to drive Peanut Butter out. First, they form an oompah band, which Peanut Butter turns out to be a fan of. They then wreck the place, but Peanut Butter says that reminds him of home because his creator was a slob. Mac then gets a human classmate named Jerry to be a friend with him. Madame Foster eventually shows up to resovle the dispute, making each friend draw straws. Eduardo wins. At night, Eduardo sees a spider, which scares him, so Wilt comes in and sleeps in his room. Soon, Coco goes in the room leaving the old room to Bloo. Bloo is happy at first, but then he feels lonely so he goes in the room too. After they all settle in the new room, Jackie gets their old one to himself. Episode Notes: The title is a pun on the 1908 E.M. Forster book A Room with a View. When Mac gets Peanut Butter adopted to Jerry, He says that he knew that they would go together which is a reference to the popular combination of peanut butter and jelly. Peanut Butter visually and vocally resembles Fuzzy Lumpkins from The Powerpuf Girls.
"Cuckoo for Coco Cards"
40	314	March 24, 2006
Mac brings his school class to Foster's on a class field trip. Bloo tries to entertain them by telling a joke, but gets the punchline wrong. After Coco tells it correctly and makes everyone laugh with her knock-knock jokes and various antics, Mac appoints her as tour guide for his classmates while Bloo continues to try to outdo Coco for attention. As the tour ends, Coco creates a new line of Foster's trading cards for Mac and his classmates, but Bloo scares them off by throwing eggs at them to demonstrate that he "can get eggs too." Coco's trading cards quickly become popular among the residents of Foster's, and everyone wants them, especially Bloo. Once he tries to make his card seem important, he finds to his dismay that it's the most common card (and thus the least valuable) and is being used as everything from dental floss to a coaster. In a fit of desperation and jealousy, Bloo trades his Eduardo card for a Bloo card, only to find out moments later that the Eduardo card is the rarest and most valuable. Bloo then confronts Coco, accusing her of favortism, making her angry. As a result, she refuses to lay more eggs/cards for Bloo, who is now left to do whatever he can to acquire cards, with the goal of being the first person to have an entire collection. He does this through a combination of manipulation and annoying whining, but by the time he announces his possession, Coco has created newer cards with holograms. Bloo then tries to collect that entire set, but is thwarted after Coco created a third edition. This continues up until the fifth edition of cards, by which time Bloo is a ranting, paranoid mess. Finally he announces to Coco that he has achieved a full set of cards for every collection - without her help - only to be informed by Coco that he still has one card missing. Unable to figure out which card he doesn't have, Bloo is reminded by Mac that it's his card which is missing, and by this point the Bloo cards have all been discarded or lost as a result of misuse or disinterest. Bloo finally locates a card - it's stuck in the spokes of a tricycle being ridden by Eduardo, who has been trying to increase his card statistics all this time (going from "big fat baby" to "chicken" to "scaredycat") and is about to perform a dangerous stunt by riding his tricycle down a ramp through a ring of fire. Bloo interrupts Eduardo, who accidentally starts the ride early, but manages to escape via parachute, earning his new status as "a crazy idiot." Bloo rides the tricycle through the ring of fire, turning the Bloo card into ash. Finally, Coco relents and lays an entire set for Bloo, who discovers that the statistics on his card say that he's a jerk. Bloo reluctantly apologizes to Coco, who lays him an egg with a "Bobble Body" Bloo inside. Bloo goes into an adjoining room to gloat about his Bobble Body, only to find out that everyone already has one and the rarest Bobble Body is a Wilt Bobble Body. Episode Notes: The episode's title is a pun on the slogan "Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs," made famous by the product's mascot, Sonny the Cuckoo Bird. Near the end of the episode, Coco creates a new craze called "Bobble Bodies," a spoof of the popular sports promotional giveaway and selling product bobblehead dolls. The show still remains unclear on who exactly can understand Coco. In "Store Wars", shoppers listened to her announcement over the intercom system but there was no indication if they understood her as well the security guards understand her when she talks over their radio. Then in "Hiccy Burp", when Coco takes over for Wilt in the hosting role of the County Imaginary Friends Talent Show Pagent, everyone understabnds the joke and the announcement of the winner. In this episode, Mac's classmates all understand her, or at least understand enough to comprehend her jokes and follow her on a tour of the Foster's house. Coco also seems to be apt in taking care of children, by the way she kept them happy the entire time they were there. The name "Socket Tuby" is a spoof of the popular phrase from the 1960's TV series Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, "Sock it to me" It is unknown, however, if Coco ever made human cards around the house like Madam Foster, Frankie and Mac Bloo mentions collecting all 150 of the original Foster's cards. This could be a reference to the original 151 Pokémon.

Holiday Specials

Episode Number	Production Number	Original Airdate
"Challenge of the Superfriends"
41	401	April 28, 2006
File:EDUARDO2.png Eduardo holds a few books Mac and the rest of the imaginary friends are rescued by Imaginary Man (voiced by Daran Norris) after they try to bring in an extremeasaur, and Mac is so enamored by him that he becomes his sidekick, Mac Attack. Bloo gets jealous and becomes the sidekick to his arch-rival, Nemesis as "Lord Uniscorn." Only later do they realize that they are siblings, and Nemesis is actually named "Nemisister." Episode Notes: The title comes from the 1978-79 Hanna-Barbera version of the Super Friends series. Look for a running gag involving many catch phrases from the 1966-68 Batman TV series, Thundarr the Barbarian, X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Diff'rent Strokes, the 1982 G.I. Joe cartoon series, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and Scooby-Doo. Wilt's dance with the alien in "One False Movie" is seen again in this episode as Jackie Khones watches it on television as Imaginary Man chases through the home looking for Mac. Lord Uniscorn said to Mac Attack "I am your father". This is the same thing that Darth Vader said to Luke Skywalker. Bloo's transformation to Lord Uniscorn is an exact parody of Anakin's to Darth Vader in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. In one of Bloo's scenes as Lord Uniscorn, his manner is similar to Mojo Jojo, another creation of Craig McCracken.
"The Big Picture"
42	402	May 5, 2006
On the day of the annual house photograph being taken, Mac and Bloo look into the mystery behind an unusual picture taken years ago as a prankster named "Wally" playing tricks. Meanwhile, Duchess tries to give Eduardo an extreme makeover for the photo shoot, Wilt wants to have his face in the picture and Coco needs to lose some weight. When picture time comes Mr. Herriman relizes three imanginary friends were adopted, so he brings Goo back who after some time creates three new friends and later helps Mac and Bloo solve the picture mystery. Episode Notes: This episode was first scheduled to air in March, then as the fourth season premiere in April, but was moved back a week. Eduardo's unibrow is split into two eye brows briefly in this episode, thanks to Dutchess. Mandy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy makes an appearance, and The New Guy from "Beat With a Schtick", Goo and Cheese (in a cameo) return in this episode. Cheese's cameo comes in Goo's thought of what was behind the mystery, where he was floating in a river of chocolate milk, and says his line "I like chocolate milk". This "Wally" in the episode is not related to the Wally who looked like a wall in "Duchess of Wails" who protected the home from Duchess' return by Bloo and Mac. Instead, he is based on Waldo from "Where's Waldo?" fame. Oddly enough, Wally is Waldo's name outside the United States. Eduardo's line "I'm ready for my closeup" is a quote from the 1950 Billy Wilder film Sunset Boulevard. Mr. Herriman is supposed to arrange everyone in alphabetical order, but Mac is standing next to Armpit Joe. A second later, he is replaced with a short green creature and is now near the front row. Bloo makes reference to A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, when he theorizes that Eduardo took the friends back in time, and Wilt passes himself off as a wizard by predicting an eclipse. Also, the suit Eduardo comes in looks just like Mork's from Mork and Mindy. The first time the 'weird picture' is shown, the clock says 6:00. The next time it is shown, it says 5:00, then 6, then 5 again.
"Squeeze The Day"
43	403	May 12, 2006
The friends go out to the beach leaving Blooregard alone on purpose so that he doesn't ruin the day, so Bloo and Mac try to squeeze as much fun as possible and make it the best day of their lives from gorging on the pantry, the old bucket of water over the door gag and going on a treasure hunt…only to dig up Uncle Pockets' bag of treasured possessions again. Episode Notes: The title is a pun on the phrase "Seize The Day." Look for a visual reference to all the Merchant Ivory movies. During the end credits Madame Foster digs up the real treasure, which was first seen in "Crime After Crime." When Bloo goes to Never Leave Steve's room and lists all the missing characters if you listen closely you can hear the names of some famailiar characters such as Eurotrish, and Jackie Khones. Bloo's theory about a comet wiping out all life on Earth and creating zombies is a reference to the 1984 science fiction film Night of the Comet. When Wilt says he'll punish himself after "the governor" (Frankie's reference to Mr. Herriman) bans the entire residence from ever going to the seashore again, this comes as another reference to "Crime After Crime." Eduardo is absent in this episode, like in "Frankie My Dear."
"Neighbor Pains"
44	404	May 19, 2006
Old Man Rivers, who lives across the street from the home, hates imaginary friends. So on "Adopt-A-Thought Saturday," which is now made more effective thanks to the returning Goo, his grandson is giving Blooregard fits, so he and Madame Foster throw papers - adoption forms - and the whole process is thrown askew because Old Man Rivers won't give them the adoption papers. How will it be resolved? Episode Notes: The title is a pun on the term "labor pains". "Orlando Bloo" also returns in this episode as Wilt helps Blooregard. Also, near the end of the episode, Frankie decides to burn the costume. We learn Madame Foster's first name is Martha. "Old Man Rivers" is a reference from the title of the song Ol' Man River from the Jerome Kern musical Show Boat. The Fosters crew watching Bloo trying to avoid Old Man Rivers through the windows of the second floor is a reference to Alfred Hitchcock's movie Rear Window. Throughout the episode, Bloo calls Old Man Rivers' grandson "Young Man Rivers". At the end of the Episode, we hear that his name is indeed "Youngman". In previous episodes where the street is visible from inside the house, such as 'Frankie My Dear', little detail is shown about the other side of the street, other than perhaps a rolling hill. With the addition of Old Man River's house to the geography surrounding 1123 Wilson Way, this indicates that Foster's Home is located in more of a bedroom community than a purely rural area as shown in the title sequence.

File:MAC3.png Mac never lost faith in Santa Claus. After seeing a gaggle of imaginary Santas, which Frankie says are as real as her Aunt Fanny, Mac believes that there's no such person as Santa Claus, so he and Blooregard — along with the rest of the imaginary friends — must regain their faith in Jolly Old Saint Nick to prevent a horrible Christmas with scientific experements: Wilt goes off with unicorns around the world in a day, Eduardo gets stuck in the house's chimney and Coco takes a short-lived job at the mall from "Store Wars" as a Mall Santa, only taking the job to pay off her vacation home. On Christmas Eve, Madame Foster tells Mac that he's at a stage in his life where it comes together. That night, as Mac asks Santa for underpants — the worst possible gift to get for Christmas, Mr. Herriman gets scared by Bloo in a spoof of A Christmas Carol — with Bloo playing all the ghosts (except for the Ghost of Christmas Past) as Bob Marley instead of Jacob Marley, the Ghost of a Christmas Present and a robot representing Christmas Yet To Come who reprograms the rabbit in charge into cancelling the holiday like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Will there be a Christmas miracle unlike "Adoptalypse Now"? The Foster's home has the best Christmas Day ever, and Mac gets what he wished for to know if Santa exists — underwear. Bloo, however gets the worst Christmas because he got piles of coal. Episode Notes: The title is a pun on the line "A lost cause." The music by James Venable and Jennifer Kes Remington is done as a tribute in part to that venerable holiday TV tradition A Charlie Brown Christmas. You can also look for the sorry little tree and Snoopy's doghouse with the first-prize ribbon for the best-decorated house from that perennial classic in this episode. Craig McCracken, Mike Moon, David Dumet, and Martin Ansolabhere won an Annie for Best Production Design in a Television Episode.

Shorts

On June 9, 2006, many of the main characters (with the exception of Mr. Herriman) were in a two-minute short titled "Driving Miss Crazy" in which Frankie went to a mechanic to find out about the bus, which had broken down, only to find out there were cheese fries in the engine and couldn't be fixed. The title refers to the play and movie Driving Miss Daisy. Template:Endspoiler
