The sweetest gesture that I’ve seen in this show (And a whole lot of other shows for that matter.) is when Madame Foster bakes a special sugar-free batch of her Famous Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies just for Mac.
When the tables have turned and those at Foster’s hear about Mac moving, they try to do something special for him to show how much they care. (And if the family isn’t the right fit, the friends find their way back to Foster’s sooner or later.) The whole reason for Foster’s existence is to get friends adopted, so it’s tough to have to let go, but having great friends for a little while is better than never making any at all. I know that he has to show up every day if he wants to keep Bloo, but spending most of my free time at Foster’s doesn’t sound too shabby. He gets to play with all the friends he wants every single day. (I’d snag up Wilt in a second.) But if I had the chance, I’d love to be in Mac’s shoes. And when their children have to give them up, instead of just going “poof,” the imaginary friends can go to a safe place like Foster’s until they meet a new family. It’s fun to see imaginary friends as visible, living, breathing beings coexisting with humans.
“Sugar-Free” Foster’s Famous Triple Chocolate Chip Cookiesįoster’s Home for Imaginary Friends is one of the most brilliant concepts for a cartoon.
