Quotes:

Wilt: Hey, how ya doing? Name's Wilt.
[Mac and Bloo stare up at Wilt for a long time]
Wilt: Yo, guys! Hello? Oh, I get it. Is cool, is cool. I know I'm all broken, with the wonky eye and the stubby arm. Probably freaks you out, huh? Don't worry, I'll get someone else...
Mac, Blooregard "Bloo" Q. Kazoo: You're tall!
Wilt: Oh, well, yeah.
Blooregard "Bloo" Q. Kazoo: You should play basketball.
Wilt: Oh, well, actually I used to... sure. So, how about that tour?

love this smart cartoon

They get so many emotions out of such a simply drawn character ( bloo ). What a fabulous idea to do a cartoon about our imaginary friends. I think young and older alike will enjoy this toon. I'm almost 50 years old and enjoy this cartoon. The design of the characters, back-rounds and props is wonderful and creative. It's flash animation at it's best. It's whimsy with a touch of reality. I think kids and adults will love it and have turned many a friend on to it. I like cartoons that show kids that your brains count, that when your clever and smart you can achieve anything. I love the music as well. thumbs up for a great new show and congrats on the Emmy nomination.
