Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is a brand new TV series by cartoonist Craig McCracken, who created the Powerpuff Girls. It premiered on Cartoon Network on 13th August, 2004 as a TV movie. The series began a week later.

In this world, imaginary friends become real the instant a kid thinks them up. Everyone can see them, everyone can talk to them—-but what happens when a kid outgrows his friend? Then that friend is welcome to Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, the adoption center, owned by old Madame Foster, that provides a home for them, untill a child, in need of an imaginary friend, who can't think their own up, comes to adopt them.

One such friend, there, is Blooregard Q. Kazoo, the creation of 8-year-old clever, yet shy Mac, whose mother tells him he's too old for Bloo. Though Bloo felt that "adoption is not an option", Mac convinced him to stay long enough that, after a sinister plan devised by self-centered Duchess fails, Mac proves his loyalty. Moved by his loyalty and pure imagination, Madame Foster, herself, states that Bloo may stay at Foster's without ever having to worry about being adopted. In return, all Mac has to do is visit every day.

This isn't a problem, considering that Mac would rather spend his after-school time with Bloo and all the other wacky friends, than at home, with his 13-year-old stupid, bullying brother, Terrence. Every day, thanks to Bloo's crazy scheming, the gang end up in wacky adventures that involve mall hectics, toothpaste-covered stone busts, laundry chute jumping, and much, much more.

True to its motto, Foster's is, definitely, "where good ideas are not forgotten."
