I can't agree with you there, T-Rex -- I just can't. The way Mom talked into Mac by getting rid of Bloo, she made it seem as if Bloo is some sort of toy or useless object, instead of someone that's as real as a human being. Anyone with a brain should never force someone to give up someone that's very close to him/her...never! The two are best friends, though I also seem them as "family".

What he said. :)

It's against the law to abandon a cat or a dog. And yet IF's can be abandoned without a second thought.

Yep, that's why it's so disturbing to me.
I even re-watched the pilot again just to carefully pay attention to that scene. Mac's mom, despite all her talk about "getting rid of Bloo" still says sorry for knocking him over when she opens the door. What is WITH that lady? How can you SPEAK to a LIVING CREATURE and apologize for hitting it, but at the same time, decide to toss it out the door (so to speak) on a second's notice when you think that's the way to solve the problem between your sons? And furthermore, did anyone notice how she agreed with Mac calling Terrence a "jerk"? If I were a mom, I would not condone or allow my children to be calling each other names (especially from an eight year old), no matter HOW terribly they got along.
She really confuses me....I think this woman needs to go back to mothering school or something. I can give her some credit, considering she's a single mom, but still...I just don't like that lady.

I dunno, i've called my irritating older brother things MUCH less complimentary that 'jerk' and had my parents agree with me, because i'm right.

I can almost imagine Frankie arguing with Mac's mother, most likely about Mac and Bloo. I have a picture in my head of the scene with Frankie angrely yelling and pointing her finger at Mac's mom.

You read my mind. I can imagine that happening, also.

Oh I'd LOVE to see that happen. Frankie chewing Mac's mom out? Whoo yeah. :scaryberry:

Frankie might sympathize with Mac's mom about being overworked--but she'd also point out how she remains loyal to the imaginary friends despite all she goes through as caretaker.

Yeah, a confrontation would be quite interesting.

yeah, could be a hidden scene of "Blooooooooo!"
