In my opinion Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends is the best cartoon made in at least the last decade.
I think what's most impressive is the fact they have managed to create a main character (Bloo) who is entirely selfish, unsympathetic to the feelings of others, self-centred and still likable.
There's a good variation of other characters too, from the brilliant regulars, to the slightly more hit and miss one off characters. Some of these are so good, however, that they make it back for future episodes; Cheese being so funny in the episode "Mac Daddy" in season 2 that he was brought back in season 4 in "The Big Cheese"
There's also a brilliant range of props in it, which it generates a huge appeal for. Having seen them starring in Foster's, I've had urges to play paddleball and to get a pink squeaky elephant - well who doesn't want one of those?
"Pfft! Secret doors, who needs 'em? What do I care about secret doors?... and the unparallelled delights they keep hidden from the world!"
