Blythe is accidently invited to the Biskits birthday party, and the pets decide to join her.

Well another Biskit episode haven't seen enough of those. Ha ha ha. But seriously if footware will play a role in this, sounds like Cinderella. I hope we get to see Cashmere and Velvet and all of the pets finally meet them. I for see Zoey and Pepper becoming their nemeisis, their Blythe if you will. Well Zoey at least.
 
I saw the facebook picture for this episode. Youngmee is in this episode. Yay. Now I'm more interested in this episode. Just to be clear, this episode is about Blythe, Youngmee, and the pets going to the Biskit twins' birthday party in an episode written by Corey Powell.

Cool just saw it. It is awesome to see Youngmee all dressed up. I am used to seeing Blythe wearing all kinds of different clothes and hair style. Seeing one of the other characters out of uniform is awesome to see. We know Blythe was alligately invited accidently, I wonder if is the same for Youngmee? Why wouldn't see be invited, they don't be pay attention to anyone but Blythe, and of all of Blythe's friends she is the most tolerable of the Biskits personality.

And Corey Powell he is the master of writing for the Biskits, so my expectations are high for this to be a good one.
 
Since "Door Jammed" and "Grounded" both had songs, I have a feeling we might get one in this episode. This episode will probably be a combination of "Mean Isn't Your Color", "What's in the Batter", and "Door Jammed". It's like "Mean Isn't Your Color" because of Youngmee's big presence, and it's the only Corey Powell episode with her in it, up until this point. It's like "What's in the Batter" because she and Blythe are going to a party hosted by the Biskit twins. And it feels like "Door Jammed" since a large chunk of the episode takes place at the Biskit twins' mansion, and considering the writer, they'll have a positive appearance, most likely.

At the very least sympathetic, Corey he understands the inner tragedy of the Biskits that despite all their material possessions, they have no real friends, the people that go to their parties don't care about them, they pretty much have to buy or bribe people to hang with them. I hope this episode does touch on that.

I'm sure it will be touched upon. The writers are geniuses . They're not perfect, but they know what they're doing, even if it doesn't work out sometimes. In any case, let's see what happens.
 
I'm probably going to skip this one because I don't think I can take another frelling Biskit Twins focused episode and I don't want to spend the next few days venting about them and debating their worth as characters. Been there, done that. I will say this, though: Whittany & Brittany have to be the most polarizing animated characters on TV since Lola Bunny on The Looney Tunes Show. Fans either seem to love the Bisktis or they hate them. There seems to be little to no middle ground there.

This.

Aside from the Biskit Twins overload, the over-reliance on My Little Pony and the recent cancellation of The Aquabats! Super Show!, The Hub has really fallen out of favor with me, and they'll have to do something majorly awesome to get back in my good graces. I know I'm light years beyond the audience Hasbro wants to attract so my opinion carries the weight of an anorexic flea, but as my current avatar suggests, this channel is more or less dead to me right now.

I already have a feeling that this episode is going to fail royally, due to who it focuses on... As for the Hub being dead at the moment, I also agree with that. LPS might be going soon, as it is, and I'm not watching this channel for just that dang pony show (it's going to get bad, eventually, if it hasn't already...).
 
Disclaimer: This is my first review where I review the episode as it plays. It may seem clustered.

Act 1: The fangirl screams remind me of the ones from "Hedgehog in the Plastic Bubble". It's a bit over the top, but I like it, and at least it doesn't overstay its welcome. We see Jasper again. He and Roger get some good lines. The pets get a couple of good lines. I thought it would just be Blythe, Youngmee, and the pets, but let's see what happens. I wonder why the Biskit twins would invite them? Let's see. I figured they would appear within the first seven minutes. I also like the continuity.


Act 2: I really like the pets' costumes. But, it was cool to see the pets' human disguise. Blythe probably should have been more aware of the Biskit twins' behavior, but she was fangirling. So, I can excuse it. The party looks really cool. Apparently, they were invited by accident. Youngmee's barking was funny. I'm not too crazy about the Biskit twins. But, let's see what happens.


Act 3: The pets act silly as ever. That scene where Pepper sprays the boy is funny. Now we have a dance off. This is pretty cool. Now Youngmee clucks like a chicken. Roger is still fun as ever. Now we have the Cinderella reference. The song reminds me of "Crush" from
"Blythe's Crush". The Biskit twins were almost nonexistent in this episode. They were easy to overlook. Not too crazy about how it ended with them, but it's okay. They at least let Blythe and the others stay, which is fine. I like how Blythe thinks she's friends with the Biskit twins.


In conclusion, it's not as good as I thought, but there is plenty to like. Corey Powell at least wrote an entertaining episode. I give it 90/100

Sigh... Just another bad idea all around, IMHO - I was expecting little to nothing here with this one, due to it being a bad idea.
Please let next week this be the end of these.

I can see the negative reviews elsewhere from galaxies away (Complaints made include or range from: "Too much humans; not enough pets", "Biskits are unlikable as usual", "Corey Powell shouldn't not be writing anymore if this is the best she can do.", "Blythe and Co. acted stupid here (whether this is normal for kids her age or not, because I didn't act that way growing up!)"... That's all I see coming out of this in terms of critical analysis anywhere but here on ToonZone...).

You're missing nothing, guys. Go back to being disappointed in the Hub as I am right now.
 
I did not think it would be more human centered, but it's okay. The show may be called Littlest Pet Shop, but it doesn't center only on the pets.
 
I'm gonna consider this episode as OK.

Some of the highlights in it include Blythe and Youngmee fangiriling over a boy band. And their screams are WAY more over-the-top than what you'd expect. Guess the fangirls have the most shrilling scream out there when it comes to beefcakes. Also, what was enjoyable about their fangirlism was how they act when they see the Soul Patches in person. Youngmee barks like Zoe and bawks like a chicken. lol


Now, here are some of the problems I had with the episode. Blythe told the pets that they shouldn't come to the Biskits' next party (because of what happened last time). Not obeying their master, they decide to disguise themselves... together in a tan coat with a fedora and Groucho Marx glasses. Now, to me, that has to be the most cliché disguise ever. No one was suspicious about this and one of them (Fisher Biskit) actually bought it. Do you think this disguise should already cause much more suspicion as of today? I think people already understand the "tan coat" disguise has already appeared too many times in entertainment, and it would've been much funnier if the guests weren't that fooled (because everyone else is done with the cliché).

Also, I wanted the chinchilla twinnies to make an appearance in this episode, at least be the antagonists against the gang's stay at the party. Cashmere and Velvet could show much more character if they're placed in a position of allowing them to join the party or not.

Nothing else was amazingly awesome nor was it cringe-worthy nor did it leave me empty inside with no other material to fill me up. This episode was just OK.

Those words are likely to come from someone else - My opinion is that this episode wasn't really a good idea and I have seen better, hence my overall lack of expectations and overall disappointment (moreso) in the end result.

Here's hoping next week kicks all kinds of butt going forward, like I said before in the past... I expected nothing out of this one and I was kind of right.
 
Okay this was a good episode, however it was disappointing, I didn't the stuff I was hoping or expecting. First of all no development on the Blythe / Biskits relationship. I hope we would get more of a followed up from "Doorjammed" instead the Biskits barely appear and the focus is more on some boy band. Though we get some info on the butler, perhaps he is trying to get Blythe and the Biskits together, he could be their guardian angel like the butler form Good Luck Girl. Second disappointment, no Cashmere and Velvet, that is a big disappointment, when will they appear again in a speaking role.

This is the second episode in a row because of a guy or guys Blythe's common sense goes bye bye. I understand why, but still two episodes in a row of this, I want the sensable Blythe to appear again.

The pets outright ignoring Blythe order not to show up at the party, if I look at Blythe as the mother and the pets as her kids, sometimes kids find loop holes to disobey their parents, though I like to see more of Russell argue with the other pets that this was wrong. How are the Biskits rich, they are all idiots. I know about the twins, but Fisher you to. Now I see where the twins get it from and why perhaps Fisher's wife let him if that is what happened, perhaps she was the only intelligent one in the family, and being surronded by idiots was too much. But it was still funny. And Roger was hillarous as always, but for an episode title the shoe is a very small part of the plot.

Blythe and Youngmee fan girling that was over the top, but okay, I am glad Youngmee got some screen time with her own plot and wasn't just Blythe sidekick this time. We only two more episodes till "Secret Recipe", I can't wait. Youngmee was hillarous with the barking and the clucking. She has come a long way from the bland tooken character she was in the beginning.

And some check the skys for pigs flying, check the tempture in hell, we had a miracle. Jasper was very good in this episode, maybe even excellent. I liked his trying to deny he is a fan of the boy band, but actually liking them, and seeing him chill at the party that was actuallly funny. Corey Powell is a genious, he wrote Jasper so well that is a possitive in this episode. I think we found a formula for Blythe's friends, Youngmee is the main friends who appears more than the others, and Jasper is the tooken male character, Sue is not needed. I thought Jasper was the problem the whole time, but no it was Sue. She is the bad ingredient to this formula.

I was cringing at all the fan girling of the boy band, but I was plessent surprised, they are not a boy band, they are playing their own instruments, they are a real band. I could tell you a few bands and artists I would go to a concert with satin to see, so I relate to Blythe and her friends in this episode.

The Biskits were like last week used more of a plot device, this episode didn't focus on them. Though I am glad their party wasn't ruined. And things ended mostly possitive, they didn't like Blythe's gift, that is no surprise, though I agree with them when they said "What did you expect?" What did they expec?. Really Blythe really? Weather you are friends with them or not, I think you know them well enough to know what type of gift they would like, perhaps you can't afford that, but at least get them something they won't hate, but a picture of Blythe and her friends, clearly she put no effort into this, if you going to get them a picture, get them a picture of themselves, they are so self absorbbed., Blythe should know that. Or a picture of Blythe and the Biskits perhaps from their temperary friendship in "Penny For Your Laughs".

All and all a good episode, some good surprising like Jasper, but lacking things I was hoping for.

I always go into something with low expectations, so it's hard to disappoint me. I mean, I can tell if something is bad or good, but I always like to give something a chance. In the case of next week, while the premise is somewhat far fetched, it is still interesting. Let's see what they do.

That is what I have been saying the whole time. We are already on page two. When the Biskits are involved, the talkbacks are always interesting. They are like the John Cena of the show.
 
It's only because they weren't fangirling over some stupid fraud - level boy band did this not completely anger me - I still would have loved it if it had more pets and the Biskits were not here at all... That's what makes this a Mid - Tier effort at best for me. Not horrible like 2 episodes ago now, but so forgettable, it doesn't even hurt.

I still see this episode getting royally bashed elsewhere, however. My ultimate complaint is that both the humans and pets acted really dumb here when both should know better. It's stuff like that that makes this show so darn unpopular.

About Jasper, zoombie - we need to face facts. He's starting to become overhated...

Perhaps the people that kept telling me give Jasper a chance if written well he can improve, maybe I owe them an appology. Sue is a different story, Corey Powell at least does not want to bother writing for her anymore, so don't expect to see Sue in any Corwy Powell episodes in the future.
 
I like Youngmee in this episode. You're right Zoombie. She got to be her own person instead of latching into Blythe a lot. I wonder if it means if we get any more Youngmee episodes after "The Secret Recipe".

Here's a fun article I wrote on why Ruby and Jade from Sofia The First are good characters.
Okay hear me out, Isn't it kind of crazy how CN never thought about doing a Kids Next Door x Teen Titans OG crossover back in the 2000s? There's five members of Sector V, five titans, and they both have super cool HQs. I'm telling you guys, a TT and KND crossover would've been so epic!
Watched the live-action "Moana" today and felt nothing that special compared to the original 2016 film. In fact, I don't remember much from the first animated film, but I think they barely changed anything in the 2026 version
