Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad etc. spoofing Fosters? - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Mulch · 07-27-2009, 05:19 AM

Futurama's original run was cancelled before Foster's even started, since then the only new Futurama content that's come out has been four movies, and, predictably, none of them spoofed Foster's. That's the only show on the list I'm 100% sure of (The Simpsons comes close) but none of those shows are likely to ever reference it. (From what I've heard, though, Family Guy crams a thousand pop culture references into every episode.)

Anyway, you don't really seem to be trying to keep your family from knowing you watch Foster's as much as you don't want them to know it exists.

Family Guy briefly spoofed Scooby-Doo one time. Kind of amusing.

As for Foster's, I'm happy to tell anyone who's listening that I watch it, and why, if the conversation goes that far. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Sometimes I find myself bashful to admit I'm such a big cartoon fan, but that's because I don't know if they'll understand more than I'm embarrassed of it. I've never hesitated to tell people how much I like cartoons though, as I know it's nothing to be ashamed of. And as far as Foster's goes, I more than glad to talk about it. If all works out well, I'll turn the interest in whoever I'm talking to, and they might start to like the show too! It's worth a shot, and I never pass up an opportunity to increase it's popularity.

OK, they might keep producing more episodes of those shows, but my family KNOWS that I watch fosters. It's ok to know what the show name is, but the most embarrasing thing is the characters. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my sister has heard of foster's and she knows nearly everybody.

I find nothing embarrassing about the characters and in particular how I feel about Frankie:

I'm a big Simpsons fan, and they haven't spoofed Fosters. I don't think Family Guy has either - not sure about American Dad, though. Futurama definitely hasn't.

Why is it embarrassing for your family to know the characters?

By the way - Cassini, good for you. I've felt that way about characters before, and good for you not being ashamed of it. If Frankie knew, she'd really appreciate that.

Cass, I read the post. You can do whatever you want with Frankie about your feelings to her, and you can show your family too. That's your life. My life is way diffrent than yours.

Have I ever told you I had Asperger Syndrome? Abbey does too. And that could be why I don't want to show my family the characters. Now, I don't want to go off topic. If we go off topic too much then Sparky is bound to post here and lock the thread. Thanks Abbey for telling me about the shows. Now I am quite ok with not worrying about the Simpsons or the other shows out there spoofing foster's. However, if there IS a foster's spoof, then I will turn off the TV immidiately. Period.

What does Asperger Syndrome have to do with watching Fosters?
