The only kids I know who have ever heard about this show, very rarely watch it, so I can't talk about Foster's with them. Or, like my brother, they think I'm too old to watch cartoons and they laugh at me, no matter how young they are (he just had his 12th birthday a few months ago).
I keep on telling him I'm not too old to watch them, but you must know how many kids of that age are.
And I can't talk about Foster's at school, either. Looks like nobody knows it (I noticed it when someone mentioned different cartoons and then the others answered if they had ever watched it or not: nobody mentioned Foster's), and usually my friends watch very different things from the ones I watch, so... I'm lonely here, but luckily this forum exists, and I am happy, very happy about that.

Thank you for the comment on the car and the Wilt doll; I'm pretty proud of 'em both!
I have a lot of students that watch the show, but then, my youngest students would be in fourth grade, and most of my students are in Jr. high school. It's ironic that the really young kids, those in that 4-9 year-old age bracket, are the ones that Cartoon Network really insists are the core of this show's fans, yet in my experience, they are the LEAST likely to watch Foster's, while many of the teens and young adults I know of watch it. Like I said, the GRANDMOTHER here at the car show knew who Wilt was, but her grandkids didn't. It was pretty obvious who watches the show in THAT family! Back at the beginning of last school year, one of my seventh-grade students got a new pair of high-top Chuck Taylor All-Star sneakers, just like the ones that Wilt wears, and made a special effort to show them to me, bragging about how he had "Wilt Shoes" and I didn't(I soon fixed THAT, though). He, like myself, got those shoes because Wilt has them, and that's pretty good, considering that a lot of the young boys I teach watch the show, but dislike Wilt because he's RED, since many of them are involved in the Crips gang, whose "colors" are blue and black, and they refuse to have anything to do with anything that is red or pink, the "colors" of their rival gang, the Bloods. I know it sounds silly, but sadly, they're really serious about stuff like that.
