    The "is it any good" review for this show is ridiculous.

    This is frankly the most clever show that has been on Cartoon Network in a long time. I'm disappointed by the low expectations put forward by the reviewer for this site. Sure, the character "Blu" does con other characters pretty much every show and preys on weaker characters to get what he wants, but by the end of the episode, he gets his. This is the way people taught morality in folk stories, I don't know why the reviewer has no confidence in the ability of modern children to see cause and effect.

    So Darn Funny

    We watch this show together - with Gramma - on Friday nights. It is great - funny, clever, colorful - and while someone might be called stupid, it's usually accurate (!) and there are some good lessons taught about friendship (Fosters is a home for unattached imaginary friends). It's creative and moves at a good pace. I would NOT plop a young five year old down in front of this, but in context and for kids that have been to school there are NO surprises here!

    If you look at it differently....

    I love this show. The characters are entirely original. Blu is a troublemaker. He lies, cheats, makes fun of people, and somtimes even steals. He's always getting into trouble. On the contrary, his best friend, Mack, shows him his wrongs. He tells Blu when he's doing somthing he'll regret; and, usually, Blu gets what was coming to him. For example: Blu tried to make lies and spread rumors about an imaginary friend named Unckle Patches. He came up with an article that he was out to kill Maadme Foster, and had buried her in the yard. The entire time, Mack was out to find the truth. In the end, Madame Foster had simply gome to a spa. Unckle Pathes had buried tresued belonging, and Mack then explained the truth about Unkle Patches; that he was NOT a bad imaginary friend. So depite bad behavior, the show seems to tell NOT to act like Blu. So yes; maybe only those 7 and up would understand this.

    Funny, for kid's brings back memories of the cartoons I watched

    Fosters could possibly be recomended for younger audiences in some episodes. It is humorous and can be enjoyed by all ages. Heck, my uncle watches Camp Lazlo alone.

    I love watching the show with my son

    I really like Foster's home for imaginary friends, I think people take television too seriously now days. Years ago everyone watched Bugs bunny blow up Elmer Fud and Tom cut of Jerry's head, but you get a cartoon that has a ghost that might say the word "butt" and Oh my Goodness! what are the children being subjected to. Give me a break, the cartoon is clean and funny enjoy it!

    I am 25 years old and even I greatly enjoy this show. I watch it with my 6 year old nephew often, but I've even caught a few episodes on my own. I think the messages are intact with being good citizens while still having creativity and imagination. The show is humorous enough for children of all ages and even adults (as I said, I'm 25 and I laugh too!) I definitely recommend this show to people of all ages.

    Does anyone remember being a kid?

    Foster's is a highly imaginative, fast-paced cartoon brought to us by the creator of the Powerpuff Girls. Bloo, an imaginary friend, is a very impulsive, self-centered character that subjects most of the other residents in the home to a great deal of frustration. Mac, the boy who created him, visits him everyday and often gets pulled into drama or adventures that Bloo and the others have gotten into in his absence. Mac and Frankie, a teenaged girl who lives and works in Foster's, often have to solve these problems before Mr. Herriman, the figure of authority, finds out for himself. Although Bloo is a bit of an antagonist (although a very lovable one) each episode has a moral, if Bloo realizes it or not. The purpose of Bloo behaving like a "brat" is to set an example of what NOT to do. The reactions of other characters carries the message of fairness and responsiblity to compensate for Bloo's poor behavoir. Mr. Herriman is often too overbearing on the residents of the home, which is illustrated through the many ridiculous rules he makes up every episode. It is very hard for the friends not to break one of his many, needless and seemingly pointless rules once in a while. This serves as a catalyst for many episodes. Many times characters find themselves in life-like situations, dealing with peer pressure, (sometimes called for)rebellious behavoir and bullying. These are all things all children can relate to and although they aren't "encouraged" in the show, they are often used to drive each episode's plot.

    A silly and hilarious cartoon

    I know, I know; I'm a little big to be watching cartoons. But I still love the good ones, and Foster's is one of my favorite cartoons ever. It's characters are strange and lovable- easy to sypathize with. There are many, many funny moments and it's a good show overall. I think it is great for kids 6 and up.

    Good cartoon! One of CN's best!

    WELL... foster's home is very funny there is a little innuendo, definately not things kids would pick up on! Bloo is selfish, ignorant and sometimes pretty damn annoying, put Mac shows him the do's and don'ts and Bloo nearly always learns a lesson. Its not violent, no bad language yet it still manages to be hilarious! Good Show!

    It's a hilarious show about crazy imaginary friends. There's Bloo who is always causing trouble and breaking rules, Wilt whos is extremely polite, Eduardo who is a scary looking scaredy cat, and Coco who is a weird airplane, tree, bird thing. Then, there's Mac who created Bloo. He's almost the exact opposite of his best friend Bloo. Mac is very responsible (as long as he stays away from sugar). Bloo, Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco live in Foster's home for imaginary friends along with other imaginary friends. They usually have some sort of "problem" (sometimes caused by Bloo) and solve it (sometimes with help from Mac).

    Good show...nothing bad.

    I watch with show with my little sister all the time...I don't care if I'm too old. It is cute, clever, and we both enjoy it. There is little to none innuendo, and if there was anything, none of the little kids would understand it. Bloo is mean and sarcastic, sure, but he's the Anti-role model, and he always gets his just desserts. I don't see anything wrong with this show and I greatly reccomend it to little ones 7+.

    Very Silly, and Yet Imaginative Cartoon

    Here I go again, another kickbutt cartoon. Foster's Home For (the Greatest) Imaginary Friends is another excellent cartoon ever to come out of Powerpuff Girls mastermind Craig McCracken (A.K.A. one of the greatest cartoon creators of all time in my opinion). Silly characters (Blooregard, Wilt, Eduardo, Coco, etc.), fun plots, good animation, and perfect humor made this here cartoon one of the greatest cartoon success stories ever, and the best while I'm at it. Even though this is not as violent as McCracken's previous cartoon, Powerpuff Girls (which can still be seen on the Cartoon Cartoon Show and Top 5), and uses more humor, it's still cartoon gold in my humble opinion. I also found a great link for screengrabs from the show (www.fosters-home.com), check it out, I encourage you to. Kids will LOVE Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and the funny imaginary friends in the show! BLOOREGARD Q. KAZOO IS HILARIOUS (and mischievious, too)!
