Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (Cartoon Network)

Mac is a good boy- bright, sensitive, and a little shy. His mother insists he's too old to have an imaginary friend. She means well, but Mac and his imaginary friend Bloo refuse to part. So Mac secretly brings Bloo to Foster's, where many other colorful imaginary friends live because their creators gave them up. The other friends are hoping to be adopted by a new kid, but Madame Foster, for whom the home is named, agrees to a deal with Mac that as long as he visits Bloo every day, Bloo will always be his and no other child will ever be able to adopt him. So now Bloo has a new home, makes new friends, gets into new mischief, and still sees his best buddy Mac every day. I love this cartoon! It's so funny, even by adult standards. I don't know why potty humor is considered a factor here, because it really isn't. There might be a total of five or six "suggestive" comments in the entire series, they are all very mild, and should go right over the heads of anyone under the age of 8 or 9 anyway. And it does handle lessons and morals like friendship, loyalty, courage, peer pressure, self esteem, and others. On TV it's rated Y7, probably because some younger kids might find some of the imaginary friends a little scary looking, particularly the "Extremesaurs", but they don't make very many appearances. But even if some of the friends are "monsters", you can't find any funnier or nicer, other than maybe in puppet form.

Some kids of ages 6 and older will enjoy watching this!

It was a fairly good show, I always got excited when it came on. There are a few fights, and the first movie was a little scary, but otherwise this show is really intertaning. All the differen't imaginary friends, and the caretakers of them all, Frankie, Madam Foster, and Mr. Herimen are just hysterical when they argue. It's always fun, they get themselves into wacky situations, and Wilt, Edwardo, Coco, they're all so friendly! Concittering it is not on, I'd suggest buying it on DVD, you won't regret it.

Foster's is a wonderful show about a boy named Mac and his imaginary friend, Bloo. Bloo now lives at Foster's because Mac's mother thought that Mac was too old to have an imaginary friend. With Mrs. Foster's help, Bloo is allowed to stay at Foster's and not be adopted out as long as Mac stays loyal and visits Bloo every day. This is a wonderful cartoon. Yes, Bloo does get into quite a bit of mischief, but the mischief is NOT encouraged. The lessons my son has learned from this show (reinforcing lessons from Mom and Dad)are priceless. My son often will state "Uh-oh! Bloo's being naughty again. He shouldn't be doing that." or "Bloo's being stingy, he should share." Things to this effect where he calls Bloo on his poor behavior. At this point, if my son has recently been naughty with similar actions, all I have to say is "Reminds me of a little boy I know....". Then, he more effectively realizes that he had been acting like Bloo and corrects his behavior since he caught the naughty-factor in Bloo himself. It also shows me that the lessons we are teaching my son are not falling on deaf ears! :) Besides the social lessons, the entertainment value is great. For the naysayers on this show, please watch the shows with your children. This show is being widely misconstrued. We need to be watching these shows with our children to explain things and to help put them in the correct context.

they says bad words like dam it and screw you and piss off and others frequently but its not bad for ages 6 and up

Man I really hate this show, The animation really creeps me out. I try watching 1 episode but it is so weird and dumb, doesn't have a good message and I can't believe how much Bloo is such a bad role model. I was afraid of this crappy show my whole intire life, and yes, I am totally too old for it. I agree with GoodParenting, this is not for kids and should be TV-MA instead of Y7. Why is it so popular. I am very happy how the TV critics hate this and common sense too. Glad it got 2 stars and I am glad it got canceled! Actually it should get 1 star too. Probably one of CN's worst shows yet. I feel horrible for the fans of this show that their brain is going to explode once they watch enough of this. I would rather be watching Barney the purple dinosaur than this, Yeah I do despise that show but I despise this a lot more. I am very disapointed in CN for making so many horrible shows, Except I do like some shows but whatever, I am more of a Nickelodeon or Disney Channel fan than CN. They say "Pi**ed" once oh and some uses of the worst swears and "F**k" a few times. It was the best day of my life when it got canceled! HATE IT SO MUCH!

I remember watching this when I was little. My family loved this show! I wouldn't suggest any kid younger than seven to watch it, due to the violence. On the same note, the violence is no worse than the Looney Tunes, Okay? I confess that the series lost some of it's humor and family friendliness as the series went on. (ironcally around the same time Cartoon Network began to change for the worse). But the first few seasons still are very enjoyable to watch! I noticed that Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends also has excellent quality, perhaps maybe Cartoon Network will consider replaying it...maybe replace those shows (dare I say them?) that have language issues, violence issues, sexual issues, and just plan indesency issues...you know, everything FHIF has been accused of...

Great show for all ages. Its smart, funny and IMAGINATIVE. Its great, highly recommended for kids 4 and up. MUST WATCH.

I think people on this website are stupid. I agree with Zimhatesu, but I hate GoodParenting and Victoriun. Any who hates show (Besides my friend Peter) shall go to a place I'd like to call home: Zombie Verruckt. Foster's is good for every one. Both kids and adults will enjoy it. I do not like the play the blame game. I don't care that Foster's is for adults only, I don't care if people say it is not for kids, I want kids to actually enjoy their childhood while they can. I think Frankie is the best role model in the show. It is a colorful, imaginative show. Kids do not deserve to have their freedom taken away I accidentally put the violence symbol by the way.Where is the cursing?! I don't give a sniper what you think. Parents out there; you should actually think about give your children a chance and blow them out of protection bubble. This is my message. I am tired of overprotective parents. Matticool and Zimhatesu= Good. GoodParenting and Victoriun= Bad. Don't listen to them. GoodParenting is a fraud and a gimmick. He said that South Park is a children's show, which is not true. He also said that Zhu Zhu Pets is not for kids, which is also not true, Octonauts: LIAR! Cops: It teaches kids how to respect. EH, WRONG! Dexter: For kids. Me: Are you drunk when you post?! Manhunt 2: My seven year old loves this show. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo: I thought it taught a very good lesson to all of my children. This is an ADULT'S MOVIE! Oobi= Raunchy Bizzare Twisted Comedy- NOT for Kids. Barney & Friends: Funny show for adults, but too mature and violent for my children. Me: THAT IS THE STUPIDEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD! Last but not least: Happy Tree Friends: This is very fine for any age! Kids allowed! He has probably never, ever watched any of these shows before! Foster's is NOT EVEN VIOLENT! Please take my advice and listen to me, Zimhatesu, and everyone else besides GoodParenting and Victoriun Watch Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. P.S.S. Foster's is a good show! P.S. There is no cursing. Keith Furgonson (The voice actor of Bloo) actually meant to say peeved instead of pissed.
