Best Cartoon Since Spongebob

The one thing I love most about Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is that everyone can enjoy it. Kids are fascinated by the imaginary friends and the unique animation, the humor is tasteful and it's simply entertaining. Generally when a new cartoon comes out it's just a regurgitated form of something else, or simply a bland idea. Foster's is a very fresh concept. Mr. Herriman is an old bunny who runs a foster home for, you guessed it, imaginary friends. Some are adopted, but some are just too odd and end up making it their permanent residence. What drags you in is all the very different imaginary friends. They're likable in all their own strange ways. That's what I like most about it, but the animation and the two human characters, Frankie and Mac, who work at the home and get into plenty of trouble while doing so. Whatever age you are, I highly recommend this cartoon. It's not often something like this comes around. I hope it lasts a long time.
