Review of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

This show is very much a "text book example of" Hit or Miss in the history of children's cartoons. Don't get me wrong; Fosters home for imaginary friends has a lot of heart when it works, and the jokes can be very funny. It's just this shows biggest problem is it's writing. Where in it feels like there weren't enough drafts, and they just went with whatever looked good to make. But there is something that has always bothered me about this, mainly the inconsistent character personalities. The episodes having either really annoying or very hatable characters that just offer frustration than anything else. Looking back at a lot of cartoon network cartoons from this era, there seems to be a lot of mean-spirited, tasteless, and unfunny humor, that just came across as pandering and laziness than actual creative effort. Fosters Home For imaginary friends, feels like a show that could've been a classic for Cartoon Network, but it wasn't, Why?. It has too do with character inconsistency and very bad writing. I might be very wrong in that regard, and perhaps the context of the jokes or the overall framing of this show was intentional by the show's creators. But I very much doubt that. Because when I say hit or miss, I like to use percentages, in this shows case I give it a fifty -fifty, meaning half of it is good, the other half being utterly awful. I don't hate mean spirited humor, but the mean spirited humor on this show is bad not just because there's too much of it, but simply because of it's unlikeable characters, who either annoying, hatable, too stupid, too boring. This show is hit and miss with everything, it's characters, it's writing, and it's never consistent, which sucks most of all.
