TV Show Review: Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is probably one of the funniest and most highly praised animated shows to ever show on Cartoon Network. The show features some of the most beautiful art design and superb flash animation that is very attention grabbing and eye pleasing. The plot of the show centers around the adventures of an eight year old boy named Mac and his imaginary friend Bloo, who is forced to move into a foster home after Mac's mom says that he has been outgrown by Mac.

The entire show is full of some very interesting characters that are all quite easy to like. There are many different imaginary friends that are all uniquely designed and sometimes unusual and bizarre. I think that this is one of the few cartoons aimed towards children that can easily be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike. It is both clever and smart in addition to being absurd and silly.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends lasted a solid six seasons lasting from 2004-2009. It went on to win a whopping seven Emmy Awards during its run and is in my opinion one of the last great animated shows that appeared on Cartoon Network before the network took a dive. It is a show that I would strongly suggest to pretty much anyone who enjoys animation, it is just a shame that we don't get re-runs of it on anymore. Fortunately, seasons 1 & 2 were released on DVD in 2007.

Overall Rating: 4/5
