Let me tell you what sold me on this show: The title. "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends" the TV listings said. Obviously, it was a show about a retirement-like home for imaginary friends who had, for some reason or another, worn out their usefulness. Then I turned it on and saw the pilot movie one afternoon. I thought it was the best new cartoon show I'd seen since "Invader ZIM" (although the shows are about as different as night and day).
Kids shows should look cute. That's just a rule. And this one brings fond memories of "Fairly Odd Parents" "Dexter's Laboratory" and other recent additions to the Hall of Cartoon Fame. The main character, Bloo, is just a blue blob, but he's a great character.
But the best part of the show is it's imagination. Obviously, a show about imaginary friends is going to have a lot to do with that, but I've always thought that a kids' show should be imaginative. And this show is very original.
Anyway, it's on Fridays at 7 on Cartoon Network. I hope you enjoy it. I think you will.

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 The humor can be outdated at times, and the first season isn't as good as the rest, but all-in-all, this kids show, much like many of the other Cartoon Network / Nickelodeon Animated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.

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!
They get so many emotions out of such a simply drawn character ( bloo ). What a fabulous idea to do a cartoon about our imaginary friends. I think young and older alike will enjoy this toon. I'm almost 50 years old and enjoy this cartoon. The design of the characters, back-rounds and props is wonderful and creative. It's flash animation at it's best. It's whimsy with a touch of reality. I think kids and adults will love it and have turned many a friend on to it. I like cartoons that show kids that your brains count, that when your clever and smart you can achieve anything. I love the music as well. thumbs up for a great new show and congrats on the Emmy nomination.
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.
