The Show

In Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, one a kid dreams up a new pal, it becomes real. Imaginary Friends are a part of everyone's life, whether they like them or not. Sometimes, kids get separated from their imaginary friends. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends was created to give a home to those abandoned pals, and to help them find a new friend to live with.

Mac is a normal, if sensitive, 8-year-old boy who has created his own best friend, Bloo. When his mom decides that Mac is too old to have Bloo around any longer, Mac reluctantly seeks out Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends . He convinces Madame Foster to let Bloo move in, but Mac worries that his pal will be adopted by another kid. After much cajoling and hijinks,  Madame Fosters and the home's staff (giant bunny-turned-house administrator Me. Herriman and Frankie, Madame Foster's sensible granddaughter) agree to leg Max visit often and keep Bloo from being adopted by anyone else.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is populated by an odd assortment of residents. Literal madnifestations of children's desires, some of them downright weird. All of them have a distinct personality and want to find another kid with whom to live with, permently. Mac and Bloo spend a lot of time with a small group of the more colorful residents. Wilt was once the ultimate best friend for a sports-obsessed kid. A busted arm and a wonky eye have left him less skilled as a sportsman, but he remains generoous and optimistic. Eduardo looks tough, but beneath his thick fur, horns, and gruff voice, he's more pussycat than monstruo. Poor Coco has spent too much time in the sun to be much of a conversationalist, but this scrambled creature has an uncanny knack for laying eggs that contain very handy things. And then there's everyone's least favorite housemate, Duchess, an imaginary friend with a designer pedigree and snooty attitude.

The series is created by the Emmy Award winning Craig McCraken, creator of the successful Powerpuff Girls, which spawned a billion-dollar licensing business and a theatrical motion picture. McCracken attended the California Institute of the Arts, and also worked on four-time Emmy-nominated series Dexter's Laboratory and served as an art director on the first season of 2 Stupid Dogs.
