Yeah I totally agree with that. The whole "OMG will Mac's Mom find about Foster's?" thing would get so tiresome if it were in every episode.

Agreed. It sounds like a plausible plot for a special (a la Good Wilt Hunting), because of the increased allowance of more "serious" emotions. But it would require too much continuity to resolve through normal episodes. Who knows. Maybe they'll use that for their last episode.

Last episode?

But won't the show last forever, until our kids have kids?

Ha, just kidding.

I agree completely, though.

It would be good as a special. I have to agree that Mac's Mom has got to ahev some idea that he goes to fosters.

Terrance knows, and, even though he's not the most trustworthy person, if he mentioned Mac's trips to Foster's enough then their mother would be awful suspicious at the very least.

It may simply be that she doesn't care too much...

I do agree Terrence is not the most trustworthy person,
but Mac might say something as:"Mom, i'm going to play with a friend after school.I'll be back at five"
So if Terrence does say something about his trips, his mom will think Mac's "friend" has a surname: Foster...
which is quite right.

The reason i think she told Mac to get rid of Bloo is different.
I think Mac's mom once had an imaginary friend, but around the age of 8, she wasgetting teased with it. So she did not want her son to get in the same trouble with Bloo so she kindly said he should get rid of Bloo

The problem with that is her use of the word "rid", like Bloo is some kind of used toy and not a creature with real feelings. Plus she had to KNOW full well those two were close friends and that she hurt Mac by taking him away. I just don't care for the attitude most people have towards Imaginaries, or clearly Fosters wouldn't need to exist.

I agree with that. For example, I don't think parents giving their babies or young kids they can't afford to take care of up for adoption would call it "getting rid of them". Maybe you'd say that about, say, a dog, but dogs can't understand you, and you wouldn't say it in front of a kid who was really attached to it. I don't hate her or anything, and without her the whole premise would not be, but jeez... if she had to rip Mac's only friend away from him, she could've said it a little nicer.

How nicely can you tear best friends apart?

Touche, but how about wording it like.... "give him another home" or something. I dunno. At least don't make it sound like he's going to be thrown out into the street.
