What Season 5 of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

The season kicks off when Bloo sees an ad on TV for a huge Victorian orphanage for imaginary friends. Mac, whom his mother has forced to separate from him for being too old, takes him there, and the two discover that the house's residents can be adopted by kids. Mac looks for a way to keep his friend. Meanwhile, the mansion, run by Madame Foster, fills with everyday mishaps caused mostly by Bloo, who gets into trouble at a fair, in a retirement home, or in a garage band. The episodes pit the characters against the consequences of their impulses and their desire to seem like more than they are.
