Aliens Take Over Popular Original Series in "Cartoon Network Invaded," an Out-of-this-World Event

The invasion begins in May when Bloo from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends sends a message to deep space and ends up letting aliens loose on Earth and in several popular Cartoon Network original series Ed, Edd n Eddy, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Camp Lazlo, and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Alien-themed episodes will air throughout the month, beginning Friday, May 4, at 7 p.m. (ET, PT), culminating with an out-of-this-world alien invasion marathon on Memorial Day.

Mischievous alien warlords invade Cartoon Network in search of the one element they need to rebuild their galactic world: cheese. The hapless aliens take over the hit series and the entire network in May on their way to universal domination. Following is the schedule for the invasion. All times ET, PT.

Friday, May 4, at 7 p.m.: Foster's Home for Imaginary
Friends: "Cheese A Go-Go" - After seeing an alien movie and reading a tabloid about an alien who somewhat resembles Cheese, Bloo becomes convinced that Cheese is a brain sucking alien. Bloo sends out a message to deep space and essentially invites the aliens to Earth.

Friday, May 11, at 7 p.m.: Ed, Edd n Eddy: "The Eds are Coming!" - Ravenous aliens have descended on Rolf's house, and the kids of the cul-de-sac must band together to defeat the invading scourge.

Friday, May 18, at 7 p.m.: My Gym Partner's a Monkey: "That Darn Platypus" - A duck-billed platypus named Rick is a new student at Charles Darwin Elementary. Everyone but Adam is convinced he is a brain-juice sucking alien from outer space since he doesn't look like any animal they've ever seen.

Friday, May 25, at 7 p.m.: Camp Lazlo: "Strange Trout from Outer Space" - Three aliens abduct Samson and make his life even more miserable than it already is. "Cheese Orbs" - Three aliens hang out at the Squirrel Scout Camp and come between best friends Patsy and Nina.

Monday, May 28, at 9 p.m.: The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy: "Billy and Mandy Moon the Moon" - When cheese-obsessed alien invaders from the moon abduct Billy, Mandy, and Grim, it's up to them to save the world's dairy supply with magic, kung-fu and a good nose-picking.

Hehe that's funny...Cheese is good, Cartoons are good...Aliens also good

I am looking forward to Fosters and Grim, I also hear Ed, Edd, and Eddy is ending soon

What about Johnny Bravo? I want him to come back and Aliens come to him...Lady Aliens made of cheese...haha

Okay I'm done....

Hmm, Billy and Mandy may have the best one, Fosters and Camp Lazlo are garbage, and the theme is'nt exactly original.

[Leonardo's_Girl]

I'm more looking forward to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends than the other shows because they're kinda dumb, but I love Foster's, and I wonder how much trouble Bloo gets into this time with the aliens.

[ZariusTwo]

Probably the same length of trouble the stale characters get into every week, and the thriving dump audiences cheer him on to another lackluster season of no progression or evolution whatsoever.

Billy and Mandy has more brain-cells than five minutes of Fosters

I also really like Fosters it's a really fun cartoon for kids and adults to watch together sort of takes me back to the hay day of cartoons.
I'm not so much into the storys allthough I do have the first season dvd and they do keep to the storys of things very well Blue is by far my least fave. character of the show It's of like how I like everyone on spongebob besides him.
I'd have to say my favorite episode of fosters is the one where blue gets sick
and everyone thinks hes a ghost. Allot of cool things happen in that episode.
While the show is a no brainer at times it's atleast visually stimulating.
I'm really into the art style of Fosters though I think it's simply beautiful.

haha I don't know Zarius Maybe Mandy and death but I'd say Billys just as stupid as Blue if not more.

I do agree that the animation is very well detailed, it's just half the characters are corrupted (there's not one redeemable person in the cast except Wilt), everything that Bloo was introduced as in the pilot went south so they could reinvent him into a manipulitive, uncaring sod, and the writing tried to follow on the same crude humour that saturated and befuddled the final seasons of the Mcracken-less post-movie Powerpuff Girls.

"Bloooo" is the best example of the show's 180 from a family comedy into just a showcase for adolescent boys, the entire story has virtually no goal other than to terrorirze Frankie on the outside when she's trying to get back in, and Bloo scaring the spit out of a poor Ghostbusters impersonation. It does'nt have sensibility to accompany it's edgy humour. Mccracken's style of animation (which differs strongly from the PPG material) is virtually the only thing that saves it from being seen for what it is

I know you like it, it's just EFFORTLESSY overrated, but it's good to see you can also find flaws in it, others tend to just blindly praise the heck out of it

[AquaParade]

I think this is a really cool and fun idea. Kudos to CN

[ZariusTwo]

..God, when did CN audiences become so...cumbersome about lame-ass promotional ideas? That's what happens when you brain-wash 'em with Camp Lazlo...

I think the major reason I even really like the show is because of it's muppet-rippoff-looking characters.
And god that goo girl needs to die she is by far the worst most annoying character ever.
The dvd was very fun though and like I said yeah what brings me back in the animation and style of the show it's the very same thing that had me drawn into PPG & Samurai Jack.
But oddly enough I didn't care for the Star Wars cartoon But that really has to do with what an over hyped fad the franchise of Star Wars in it's self has become.

ahaha yeah I must admit I've watched that show and it doesn't come off to me as anything more than a bad roco's modern life knock off.

Don't talk bad about Clone Wars...just...don't.

Personally, I believe everything on CN, (aside from Adult Swim) post Samurai Jack is garbage.

[Ra]

Eh, I kind of agree with Peanut on this one. Kind of. Anything that came after Samurai Jack has just been...well, crap, to say the least. There has only been 2 shows that have come up after Samurai Jack that I have truly enjoyed, and they are "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" and "Codename: Kids Next Door". Actually, it makes me wonder why "Kids Next Door" doesn't have an episode on there. Ah well... *shrugs*

I'm I didn't say jack squat about the toon I said I'm sick of Star Wars period.
I grew up with the stuff loved it I never watched this cartoon just never really cared to so I can't say good or bad about it cause I don't give my opinions unless I have.
But Star Wars in general had way over populating the market or well it was untill last summer it's slowed down a bit now.
I'm sure the cartoons fine though and atleast lucas cant go back and rape that..god atleast I hope he can't.

[ZariusTwo]

I've often thought of Jack and Clone Wars as overrated, not tripe, just overrated, Megas XLR is much better than both, and I don't even like that. I thought Ewoks in the 1980's was the best of the Star Wars cartoons (especially Dini's "Battle for the Sunstone", the series finale that served as a prequel to Return of the Jedi)

Jack's had some great storylines though, and it's comedy is perfectly surreal, I don't want to criticise it at all at times.
