Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
So, has anyone seen this? do you guys like it? I find it interesting from an artistic point of view and it reminds me of both Nuts and Calvin & Hobbes...

When I first saw commercials for it, (before they started showing it), I hated it. The Animation style looked too much like "Flash" stuff I see on the internet, which just felt like they were short-changing me or something ... taking a budget saving shortcut. Also...my first impression was that most of the characters were ugly looking and unlikable.
The Pilot movie failed to impress me, but at least manages to catch my curiosity.
...oh how glad I am that I gave the show a chance...
I don't know how I looked down on this show so harshly at first, because it's an absolute RIOT!
It's hard to really say that I have a favorite character, because they are really thier funniest as a group.
Bloo (aka Blooregard Q. Kazoo), Mac, CoCo, Wilt, Eduardo, Madame Foster, Mr. Hareman, Frankie, Cheese, Goo...
...and one mustnt forget Fred Fredburger!

...Isn't Fred Fredburger on The Grim Adventures of Billy& Mandy? And, just picking nits, I found out it's spelled herriman (Though i'm not sure if it has one or two 'r's.)
Yeah... Glad to see peope here like it. I like bloo because he's interesting, animation-wise. How you can convey expression with so little and tone of voice. Mac's kindof funny though, though also freakish in that A: he look like this friend I have who's in 7th grade, and weirdly enough B: he looks sort of like my aunt in the occasioinal frame. It's kinda weird...
They use a bunch of digital programs and it's all vector art.

I love this show!
I also thought it looked dorky in the ads, but I watched it anyway because I'm a cartoon fiend and it ended up being one of my very favorite shows!
I like Frankie because you almost never see a 20-something character in a cartoon.
The unicorns crack me up!
"They looove when you call them cute and girly! Especially those three over there....Frank, Joe, and Bill!"
*dies*

I watch both shows all the time...and you have to admit...the character looks more like the critters you see on Fosters than the usual creepies in Grim...so I guess I just forgot which show I saw him in...though now that you mention it, I remember him as part of the Jury in a court episode...I think...

I NEED to see more of this show! I swear, I have only seen about 4-5 different episodes, but I've seen the one with BERRY like, three times. God, that thing creeped me out!!
I adore crazy nonsensical humor, so Foster's is pretty much right up my alley. I don't understand why most cartoons today seem to be a compilation of repetitive humor and fart jokes. Foster's, though. Brilliant!
Cheese spooks me out, too, though. He says such weird things! Just out of nowhere - "I have ringworm!"
If you like this show, you should try Excel Saga. It has quite a few Japanese pop-culture-related jokes, as well as word puns, so sometimes you miss the real point, but it's hilarious.

So far, my favorite episodes are "My So Called Wife"
(Mr. Harriman and CoCo pose as a married couple, Mac and Goo try to explain Sarcasm to Bloo, Mr. Harriman tries to teach CoCo to be a lady, party games and Rocket Cars...need I say more?)
...and the Road-Trip Episode.
I agree...this show is allways a riot. Along with Family Guy, Robot Chicken and Fairly Oddparents, Fosters is one of my favorite cartoons on the air right now.

Oh gah! I hate Cheese and Goo. They're both so annoying!
It could also be because CN shows those episodes over and over and over.
I really liked Red, but I think the effiminate unicorns need more airtime, they're the greatest!
I wonder though, why so few of them are animal-like. Most of the kids I know who have imaginary friends their friends are animals. Like my 7 year olf cousin- her imaginary friend is a pink snow leopard. And I kid when I was in elementary had an imaginary dog named Catfish that he kicked to the moon.
