Foster's


If you've never watched Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, well then I suggest you start. Whether you had an imaginary friend growing up or not it's an amazingly entertaining show, and luckily....it's about imaginary friends! So that means I get to talk about it!

Foster's (as it's more commonly called) is shown on the Cartoon Network rather often, so it's pretty easy to catch. The show is mainly about this giant house run by a little old lady named Madame Foster and her grand daughter, Frankie, where old, unwanted imaginary friends go to stay. Other families come to the house to adopt friends for their children...who apparently aren't imaginative enough to come up with their own imaginary friends.

The main characters of the show are Mac and his friend Bloo. Bloo's full name is Blooregard Q Kazoo. Bloo lives at Foster's because Mac's parents wouldn't allow him to stay at their house anymore. But Madame Foster told Mac that if he came to visit Bloo everyday, he could stay in the mansion and no one would be allowed to adopt him.

In the picture to the left we have Coco, who can only say her name, yet everyone seems to know what she's saying. She can also lay plastic easter eggs that contain random items. Frankie, who helps take care of the house. Mr. Hariman, Madame Foster's imaginary friend from when she was little who also helps keep the house inhabitants in line. Wilt, who always apologizes for everything. Eduardo, who looks big and tough but is scared of most anything...and speaks Spanish. Then on the couch is Bloo, Madame Foster and Mac.

The show deals mostly with Bloo causing trouble and Mac chasing after him trying to fix it. Most of their hour long specials are centered more on the actual theme of creating imaginary friends or adopting friends or where the friends came from. Either way, it's a very entertaining show.
