    This show is the best

    I am 25 and I have to say, I cannot wait for this show to come out on DVD. I LOVE IT! It is perfect for kids and even better for adults...as we all know, those cartoons today mean something totally different to adults than children. I recommend this to ANYONE who likes a chuckle...plus, all the characters are so cute...how could you not wanna watch...well...coco is annoying, but every show has to have at least one. This show makes me remember my childhood as I had a couple imaginary friends who I totally believed were real. The only problem I see is advocating imaginary friends as being real. THis could be a disaster to parents. Although, telling kids they are not real is like telling them Santa does not exist. Try that one out...the kid will hate you forever!

    Very creative and interesting!

    Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is a very interesting piece indeed. It is extremely creative and funny, a combination of wit and humor. The storyline follows an eight year old boy named Mac (yes, he's eight, mistakes in the plot section) must give up his beloved imaginary friend, Blooregard Q. Kazoo, because his mother believes he has outgrown him, and Mac's older brother Terrence treats Mac like a baby. Mac stumbles across a large house belonging to Madame Foster, a childish old lady and her imaginary rabbit friend, Mr. Herriman, who keeps the place in schedule.

    Bloo realizes that if he is put in Foster's, he would be up for adoption like the rest of the Imaginary Friends at Foster's, but in the end, Madame Foster allows him to stay in Foster's without being adopted, as long as Mac visits him every day.

    Bloo meets many friends, such as tall, helpful Wilt, the injured one-eyed, one-armed 'basketball player' imaginary friend who always has a smile despite his painful past, Eduardo, a large, purple beast imaginary friend with a skull buckle, fangs, and large horns, but is afraid of everything that moves, and Coco, a strange bird-plant-airplane imaginary friend that only says Coco, but lays strange colorful plastic eggs that contain prizes.

    In short, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is extremely creative and fun for the whole family, each episode has some strange wacky mix-up and a whole lot of laughs. The creativity of Foster's is unbelievable- Imaginary Friends coming to life as you think them. In my opinion, Foster's deserves a 10-10.

    Almost As Good Now As It Was When I Was A Kid

    I recently went back to watch some old kids shows with my girlfriend. I have to say, this show is almost as good now as it was when I was a kid. The humor can be outdated at times, and the first season isn't as good as the rest, but all-in-all, this kids show, much like many of the other Cartoon Network / Nickelodeon Animated shows from the early and mid-2000 holds up well and has a very nostalgic feeling to it.

    With all that said, there are some negatives. For starters, Cheese. When he is introduced, he works by himself for one or two episodes. But the show took it a little to far every once in a while, throwing in annoying characters that worked for about five seconds before making me wish they were gone. Luckily, the main characters also would get annoyed with them, so it's not that bad.

    Some of the episodes are genially great. Some are hit-or-miss, and some are bad. Most TV shows are like this and you can't escape it.

    All-in-all, this is a great kids show with some discreet adult humor sprinkled throughout that makes it much easier for adults to watch this. But with that said, most adults (that I know at least, and millennials) could watch this show no problem without the head- banging annoying goofy over-the-top colorful migraine inducing characters and animation that brand new shows have.

    The most original cartoon in a very long time

    It's kind of funny that a cartoon has never been made with such a simple theme as the Imaginary friend. In the world of Foster's, when kids think up imaginary friends, they become real and can interact with anyone, even adults. But as the kid grows older, they grow tired of their "fake" friends. Or, in the case of Mac, a kind, friendly eight year old, parents and older siblings force him to give up his friend, Bloo. So he takes him to Foster's, where he makes an agreement with the staff to allow Bloo to live there without being adopted out as long as he visits him. The show has some pretty interesting characters, while they are not very original, are voiced and animated so wonderfully, it really doesn't matter. Among them are Madame Foster, (the eccentric, adorable old lady who run's the place), Frankie (her granddaughter), Mr. Herriman (Mdm. Foster's stiff, English imaginary friend), Wilt (an extremely apologetic, helpful friend), Coco (in my opinion, the only annoying part of the show), and Eduardo (the shy, Spanish speaking "monster".) Eduardo is also voiced by Tom Kenny, a truly talented man who has given voices to dozens of animated characters including BNLT SpongeBob and Heffer from Rocko's Modern Life. This show is very funny, no underlying "adult" humor here as far I can tell. My favorite episode is the one with Cheese, Bloo's younger brother. It will have you rolling when he sneers *bunnies*. Beware, though, if you watch this show, I guarantee you will get hooked!

    I don't remember every episode but.... it was good

    Well this might be a bit hard for me to review but I shell try as I have not watched this show for years.

    Well this show is pretty much about this young boy called Mac who comes to this mansion where he meets this blue ink looking thing called blu and they become good friends. Mac also meets so many other good faces and I had a crush on Frankie the teenage bus driver when I was really younger.

    The animation was decent, the voice actors were good especially since it had good genius like Tara Strong, Keith Furguson, Phil LaMarr and Grey Delise.

    That's all I can remember about this show I am afraid but it was good regardless.
