It is revealed that Bloo was hiding behind a cardboard cut-out of himself. She is elderly, but has child-like boundless energy and enjoys life to the fullest. Imaginary friends also require sleep, as shown in "The Sweet Stench of Success".

The series is set in a universe in which childhood imaginary friends coexist with humans. In the show's universe, imaginary friends take physical form and become real as soon as children think them up. Once children outgrow them, friends are relocated to the titular orphanage, where they stay until other children adopt them. The home is run by the elderly Madame Foster, its lovable, kind founder; her imaginary friend Mr. Herriman, the strict rule-abider and business manager; and her granddaughter Frankie, who handles day-to-day operations. Because his mother believes he is too old for imaginary friends, eight-year-old Mac is pressured by her to abandon his imaginary friend, Bloo. When Mac takes Bloo to Foster's after seeing a television advertisement, they discover that if Bloo were to live there, he would be available to be adopted by another child.

04 Something Old, Something Bloo
It’s a never-ending tug-of-war between house hunters seeking a place to live and others looking for investment properties. Low homebuying affordability puts a focus on investors — especially big-money giants — and their role in rising home prices. It will be a slugfest, but it’s a reasonable to think the pro-development will eventually prevail as the cost of housing grows. But that kind of emotion and energy isn’t just limited to athletic contests. For example, there are plenty of big real estate battles brewing across California this spring.

The Extremeasaurus begins to chase Bloo around the junkyard while Terence and Duchess watch from the distance as the Extremeasaurus then corners him. Just as the Extremeasurus is about to eat Bloo, Mac and company arrive with the unicorns, making Bloo dodge the Extremeasaurus. The Unicorns angrily point their horns at Terrence, but he avoids their attack. The next day, a wealthy couple stops by Foster's to find a friend for their spoiled daughter. They only want the best for her, and Frankie sees a perfect chance to get Duchess out of the house for good.

She is also often swayed by Bloo's "get rich quick schemes" and has proven to be an efficient ally in promoting Bloo's agendas when she feels she can get a good profit or outcome out of it. Wilt runs away in search of his creator after he receives no visitors at the annual picnic, so Bloo and the gang head out to find him and discover some interesting things about Wilt's secret past along the way. Bloo gets jealous when Mac is chosen to be the sidekick of an imaginary superhero friend. Mac starts to doubt Santa's existence when a hoard of imaginary Santas appear. Although Eduardo is infested with fleas, he soon befriends them, but Frankie and Mr. Herriman want to get rid of them.
A suspicious imaginary friend shows up at the house, and Frankie is out to prove him a fraud. An evil imaginary friend sets a sinister plot in motion against Bloo, and Mac and the home's residents must save him. Bloo is determined to win a game of Hide and Seek, so he hides in the trash. Since 2004, the show spanned 6 seasons with 79 episodes in total, along with 18 shorts that have aired. It’s playoff season for basketball and hockey with sports fans glued to the big matchups.
Before Duchess attempts to stop the Extremeasarurus, Mac and the others drop vases on top of her and Terrence's heads (the same type from the beginning), knocking them both out before they both get eaten by the monster, much to Bloo and Mac's shock. Mac is worried about explaining to his mother about Terrence's supposed death, but Wilt reassured Mac and shows him that the Extremeasaurus revolts with Duchess and Terrence and spits both of them out of its mouth in disgust right near the hands of Frankie and Mr. Herriman. Mac and Bloo are imprisoned by evil characters unwittingly created by Goo in her sleep.
03 Squeeze the Day
He is very attached to Bloo and it is shown that his biggest fear is never seeing him again, because Bloo is what keeps him happy and cheerful and vice versa. Mac becomes hyperactive to the point of a rabid mania when he eats sugar. Once in this state, he becomes impossible to control, will often become obsessed with seeking any other source of sugar. He, alongside Bloo, made a cameo appearance in The Powerpuff Girls series finale, "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!". This seems to support the relationship between Mac and Bloo and Mr. Herriman and Madame foster. The imaginary friends have nothing in common with their creators but retain a close relationship.
Special 23 End of Episode Gags, Part 1
The episode "House of Bloo's" won two Emmy Awards for art direction (Mike Moon) and character design (Craig McCracken). The show's theme song (described by McCracken as "psychedelic ragtime" and written by Venable) was nominated for Best TV Show Theme in 2005, but lost to Danny Elfman's theme to Desperate Housewives. The episode "Go Goo Go" was nominated for Best Animated Program Under One Hour in 2006, and Character Design supervisor Shannon Tindle won an Emmy that same year for that same episode. The 2006 episode "Good Wilt Hunting" was nominated in 2007 for Best Animated Program One Hour or Longer, but lost to the Camp Lazlo TV movie "Where's Lazlo?." However, David Dunnet won an Emmy for his background key design for said episode. The 2008 television movie "Destination Imagination" won another Emmy in 2009 for Best Animated Program One Hour or Longer.
It could also be that the process of creating an imaginary friend is a random occurrence more than something that can be controlled so children don't wish to imagine a random friend and would rather adopt one. Other than in-house items such as Cartoon Network's internet shop (T-Shirts, a Bloo plush, etc.), there has not been much as far as major products. As of 2005, there has been a statue series with Bloo, Mac, and Eduardo featured in the first statue. A 2nd statue features Frankie, Madame Foster, and Mr. Herriman released in November 2006, and the third in the series featuring Wilt and Coco was released in December 2006. Two limited edition inkjet (giclée) cels — one with the cast posing for a picture, the other styled like a cross-stitch — were also created. DVD season boxsets have been released with seasons one and two being released in Region 1 and Region 4 during 2007.
While Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends does serve as a care facility, no other facility has been shown so far. The main examples being in "Dinner is Swerved" where it is shown that there are food imaginary friends that go into hiding for fear of being eaten (a perfectly justifiable reason). Also, in "Seeing Red," Terrence is hungry and inadvertently imagines a pizza imaginary friend whom he eats with no regard. Wilt reveals that there are also imaginary friends who are "unimaginative".
She can lay colorful eggs that contain seemingly anything and everything. Though it is unknown how many friends there are in the world, due to the ability of children to imagine an unlimited number of imaginary friends, it is possible they make up a large portion of the population. Each year, the imaginary friends covered a pop song about friendship when the float arrives in front of Macy's Herald Square store. Bloo, Wilt, Coco and Eduardo performed the Beatles' "With A Little Help From My Friends" in 2006.
