4/10
Really over-praised Cartoon Network show
23 December 2017
Foster's Home For imaginary Friends has a cool premise for a Cartoon, Imaginary Friends have a foster home to look for kids who really need a friend when they need to leave their original owner. The "House of Bloo's" Movie pilot was really good and the First couple of Episodes were pretty funny. Sadly though it really goes down hill from the first season and that is all because of Bloo. Bloo in the pilot and first season was pretty much just Mack with a little more Snark, I understand that he was too similar to Mack to begin with but the way they retooled him was for the worse. Bloo was to be those Love-able jerks but he really isn't lovable, He's just straight up a sarcastic, immature punk. It's not like in Ed, Edd 'n Eddy where when a character get's whats coming to them it's hilarious because with the Ed Trio it's slapstick it's supposed to be over the top and painful, Fosters pay off however is predictable and not very satisfying. The rest of the cast is good Like Wilt who is so overly nice you wish he was in a better Show, & CooCoo who is bizarrely hilarious at times, though characters like Frankie and Mack are pretty bland and Cheese who is just Pandering. Not too mention the other huge thing that Bothers me is the run-time, the first season kept it short to two 11 segments for each episode but then the plots take up 22 minutes. 22 minutes cartoons should be for Action cartoons Like Generator Rex or Justice League not for Comedies, It's better to keep the run time short for comedic cartoons becuse it slows down the past of the comedy. Cartoons like Looney Tunes & Tom and Jerry were usually only 7-8 minutes long, even if a Cartoon need to be an exact time shows like Power Puff Girls and Camp Lazlo which were airing at the same time as this was knew to keep it short and Sweet with 11 minutes even to day's shows Gumball, We Bare Bears and K.O kept it fun sized so it doesn't over stay it's welcome. Their are good Episodes like the One where Coo Coo goes on a world tour, the Good Wilt hunting Special and a couple other's, but as you would guess they have little screen Time of Bloo. This is one I only recommend if your a big fan of the creators.
