This has me really worried. Sad to see this beloved cartoon come to a close. Seems like it just started.

I know some Animated Shows tend to have these type of stories, which treat it like it’s the las, but something happens before the climax to show everything is okay again.
Although, it’s surprising to see that they’ve actually got to address Lucky’s Human again, after nearly Two Seasons.
Like said, the show still does have some arcs that it needs to address. Like the SSPC Graduating to be full ‘Pound Puppies’ or actually getting Lucky & Cookie together. Don’t they?

Dot came back for her first encore earlier this season in that episode with a quiet nervous pup being dragged along to her "Hyper Scouts" camp or something. If this is the end I'll treat the penultimate episode dealing with a pound closure as the end. Dot didn't act like a kid who knew how to handle a dog in earlier episodes, she'd be a lousy owner unless she matures a lot (her second episode didn't gave her any development in that area).

I know some Animated Shows tend to have these type of stories, which treat it like it’s the las, but something happens before the climax to show everything is okay again. I know what you mean. Hamtaro had an episode that shows a good example of this. There was an episode where Bijou announced that she was leaving the Ham-Ham Clubhouse because her owner was moving, but the very next day after she supposedly left, she came back after all because her owner loved living here so much. So I'm guessing if they are continuing the series after this season, the episode should be something like that. Otherwise, they'll have to cancel the series. They can't continue the series without Lucky or have someone replace Lucky; Lucky is too important to the other dogs in the pound. Something tells me that could happen with what's left of the series. I'm not sure if a new episode aired today (there may not have been due to the Hub's Halloween Bash), but after last week's episode, there are only 2 episodes remaining this season. Does sound like a lot of stuff to cram into just two episodes, but look at MLP and how much they crammed into "Magical Mystery Cure". They had better not do the same thing here!

A few things to say about this episode...
1. The beginning I felt was kind of weird. It put us right in the middle of the action, which made it feel like we missed a lot of stuff.
2. I loved the shout-out to "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer", when Stuffy, Schleppy and Axel said they came from the Island of Misfit Pups.
3. I thought it was nice to see Cookie show her gruff side again, for she really hadn't since Season 1.
4. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole Cheese Town thing reminded me a lot of De Vil Ville. Not sure if that was the writer's intent, but maybe.
5. I'm not going to question the ending for continuity purposes like on my rant on "Homeward Pound". Although my only problem with the ending was...it was way too predictable. We've seen stuff like that done a million times already.

Well, Sometimes starting in the middle of the action isn’t so bad. Sometimes it can demonstrate “Another Day At The Office”.
The Uploads to Dailymotion paused after Episode Twenty and I’m unsure when the uploader will…well…upload them. =s
Yeah, like you say Belchic, solving all the loose ties would require more than two episodes. So a Forth Season is likely. And whilst I do find that “Magical Mystery Cure” was incredibly rushed, but with that case the show runners did state they were planning on continuing it, right?

The Uploads to Dailymotion paused after Episode Twenty and I’m unsure when the uploader will…well…upload them. ? I feel the same way about imdb. None of the episodes after "All Bark and All Lite" seem to be on the site yet. I was so desperate to add in quotes from "Lucky the Dunce", I had to add the episode in myself. Even so, I still had to wait a while because of the errors. I may have to do the same with "Lord of the Fleas".

The next episode is postponed to next week due to the season Premeire of Littlest Pet Shop, which is playing back to back episodes. How many episodes are left in the season? I thought there was only one left, but I thought Race said there were two.

Seeing the way the Hub is still advertising this show, I'm guessing a fourth season is likely.

Turns out, there are 2 episodes remaining in this season.
In the next episode, Shelter 17 is getting inspected. Something tells me Agent Ping is going to be in this episode. That probably can't be a good sign.
I'm still super nervous about the season finale. I have a bad feeling it's going to go in the same direction as MLP and be something I don't want to have happen, and if they do continue the series, there will be a change made to it, and everybody will accept the change except me! Either that, or they'll end it (while the Simpsons and South Park will just continue to keep on going!).

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I, for one, am not ready for the show to end anytime soon. I want it to go for at least one more season. Though, like bab said: the season finale may turn out ok. I mean, we thought the series was going to end when Lucky got adopted at the Season 1 finale. Well, let's just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

I guess I was right about Agent Ping being in the episode. As for the episode as a whole, while I was watching it, I kept thinking: "This isn't going to end well!" and "This could be it. This could be the predecessor to the season finale, and the show is ending for sure!" Though I am glad everything turned out ok in the end, but wouldn't it have made more sense to have Lucky declared guilty anyway? Whatever happened to "The law is the law"? I know, none of the episodes should have sad endings, but take a look at a majority of Shakespeare's plays. "Romeo and Juliet" didn't have a happy ending. Neither did "Hamlet". I know this isn't a Shakespeare tragedy, but not everything has to have a happy ending. Heck, the Titanic story didn't have a happy ending! I wouldn't mind seeing something with a sad ending once in a while. It's like babclayman and what he said about if everyone in the world had the same interests we'd all be mindless drones. Life can't be all peaches and cream all the time. Know what I mean?

One thing I forgot to say about the most recent episode: I have a feeling Slayer is going to love it, considering a characature of Ozzy Osbourne was in this episode.

The Season 3 episodes are on YouTube now BUT only for purchase at $1.99 a pop. They even have the finale, clicking the link gives you the first two minutes as a preview (although the theme is included in that chunk) before you have to pay... www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VsaQAsWiLo...Looks like Lucky switched from staying at the pound full-time to splitting between it and a home like Cookie does at some point. The Pupple's Court (like the pun but it's a stretch) was a good episode for about two acts and then Dot showed up again. Oui, well maybe kids like her. If the show's ending this would be a decent finale because of the callbacks, flashbacks, and a few returning characters (the SSPC, Dolly, Dash, Agent Ping, Shelter 17's other canines we normally don't see) but the courtroom plot didn't really seem to work because Miss Stiffwhiskers very clearly had an axe to grind and was trumping up charges. One gets an idea the Pound Puppies organization might be corrupt... Dot got some cute moments but I still don't like her. The finale might be painful because it centers on her quite a bit.

I...I don't like the sound of that. Another thing I wanted to say about this episode: it strangely reminded me a lot of the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" episode where Alvin and Britney were sueing each other for an accident they both got involved in.
