==Biography==
===Pilot===
Mac and his imaginary friend Blooregard Q. Kazoo (or "Bloo" for short) often get into fights with his 13-year-old brother Terrence. When Mac's mother tires of this behavior, she tells him that he has outgrown his age to have an imaginary friend and must get rid of him. Crushed by overhearing their argument, except for Terrence, who is rather pleased, Bloo later comes across a TV commercial for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends - "where good ideas are not forgotten", according to the motto.
The next day, Mac and Bloo stop in at the sprawling mansion and are met by Mr. Herriman, the strict business manager. After Bloo explains the situation in comically exaggerated detail, they are given a tour of the house. Frankie, the caregiver, is about to show Mac and Bloo around; however, she is soon called away by the ill-tempered, high-maintenance resident Duchess. Basketball-loving Wilt takes over the tour and introduces Mac and Bloo to the wide variety of imaginary friends that live in the house. Along the way, they meet Coco, who lays plastic eggs when she gets excited and only says "Coco" when she speaks, and the fearsome-looking but soft-hearted Eduardo. Mac and Bloo both think Foster's will be a good place for Bloo to live. However, Frankie tells them that if he stays there, he will be eligible for adoption whenever Mac is not around. Mac promises to stop by after school and departs, taking Coco's eggs with him and leaving Bloo alone with his new housemates and showing him that he will be sleeping in their bedroom, when Wilt sees Bloo about sleep on the floor, he lets Bloo take his bunk and he sleeps on the floor and they all fall asleep for the night.
The next day, a wealthy rich couple stops by Foster's to find a friend for their spoiled daughter. They only want the best for her, and Frankie sees a perfect chance to get Duchess out of the house for good. The married couple agrees. Just as Mr. Herriman is getting ready to do the paperwork for the adoption, though, their daughter catches sight of Bloo and starts chasing him. Eduardo, Wilt and Coco race all over the house to keep Bloo out of reach, but the married couple's daughter finally snatches him up and shows him to her mother and father. They agree, but only Mac's last-minute arrival saves him. The millionaires leave empty-handed, while Duchess becomes even angrier at not being able to leave Foster's (which she refers to as a dump) due to Bloo's interference. Frankie is amazed that Mac refuses to abandon Bloo. But Mr. Herriman assumes that Mac will do so in time, only to have Frankie remind him that his creator never abandoned him either
Terrence, meanwhile, has been watching from behind the bushes across the street and realizes that Mac has not gotten rid of Bloo. He and Duchess join forces to do away with their common enemy. As Mac is on his way to Foster's the next day, Terrence stops him from reaching Foster's, carries him back home and locks him in the bedroom closet. Terrence then pays a visit of his own, dressed to make a good impression. Duchess creates a diversion by provoking one of the Extremeasauruses (dangerous monster friends created by teenagers), leaving Bloo alone with Terrence.
Mac finds Coco's eggs in the closet and gets from them the tools needed to make his escape. He is too late to stop the adoption from going through and Frankie, Eduardo, Wilt and Coco calls him out for it, but despite his insistence that he never abandon Bloo and knowledge about the consequences of this action. Mac informs them about Terence's true appearance, but Mr. Herriman objects to this claim, stating that he was a good boy and that Mac must accept the consequence. Frankie reminds Mr. Herriman about the consequences during their conversation and knowing Mac's intelligence. Despite the appreciation, Mac interrupts and explains about Terrence locks him in the closet, impersonating as good boy to adopt Bloo, but he is working with someone that plans to kill Bloo. Learning from Mac's suspicions, Frankie and the others soon realize that Terrence and Duchess are working together after they found the Extremeasaurus' cell empty. That night, Terrence takes Bloo to a junkyard and meets Duchess, who plans to feed Bloo to an Extremeasaurus she freed earlier to extract her revenge for ruining her adoption with the millionaire family. The Extremeasaurus begins to chase Bloo around the junkyard while Terence and Duchess watch from the distance as the Extremeasaurus then corners him. Just as the Extremeasurus is about to eat Bloo, Mac and company arrive with the unicorns, which makes Bloo dodge the Extremeasaurus. Terrence mocks Mac and the Unicorns by calling them as "ladies". The Unicorns angrily points their horns at Terrence and he avoids their attack.
Mac and company confronts Terrence and Duchess while he says "Bloo this", much to everyone's bewilderment. Naturally, the Extremeasaurus quickly appears to bypass them (except Mac who evasively avoid it) and proceed to chase after them once more, as Terrence and Duchess know that their plans work. Mac orders Wilt, Coco and Eduardo to help Bloo, but they're terrified to fight against the Extremeasaurus. Mac gets an idea where he runs up to the Extremeasaurus to get capture and swung around. Bloo questions sarcastically about Mac's rescue attempt at first. However, Eduardo witnesses, charges towards the Extremeasaurus, ripping off the tentacle apart to save Mac. Suddenly, many of the Extremeasurus' tentacle parts turned out to be a bombs that approaches and corners Mac and Eduardo that explodes on impact. Terrence and Duchess are impressed by it. Eduardo lands on the pile of tires and Mac also lands on the pile of Coco's eggs that she was laying out, but they both are remain unharmed from the explosions. Miraculously, Mac formulates his plans by having Eduardo's strength to strip off all of the Extremeasurus' tentacles, Wilt's basketball techniques to throw all of the bombs and Coco layout many eggs to close-up all of the bombs before Mac irritatingly says "do this" instead as Terrence still poke fun about it. Mac's plans turns to be successful as several of the Extremeasaurus' tentacles are stripped out and the bombs closed-up inside Coco's eggs. Duchess complains about Mac and the others are ruining her plans while Terrence is amazed about their actions, much to her annoyance. After Mac's plans completed, Eduardo, Wilt and Coco cheer happily at their success before Frankie and Mr. Herriman's arrival as they're impressed and compliment about Mac and his plans. Mac shouts at everyone and reminds them about the Extremeasaurus still chasing after Bloo again with no tentacles. Frankie demands Mac to solve this problem, which he looks around before notices Terrence and Duchess laughing evilly at Extremeasaurus chasing Bloo.
Thinking quickly, Mac spitballs at Terrence, who then chases him. Mac meets up with Bloo and advises him about the beginning of the event, before Terrence appears and chases them, anticipating the inevitable. Mac tells Bloo to split away, who obviously assumes that he's abandoning him, but Mac have him to make their turns on separate path and tricking Terrence by turning the monster on the masters that proceed to chase him instead. Duchess loses her patience about awaiting of someone's scream until she heard Terrence's scream and finds the Extremeasaurus chasing him as he begs her to stop the Extremeasaurus after he hid behind her back for protection, where she does so. Before Duchess attempts to stop the Extremeasaurus, Mac and the others drops the vases on her and Terrence's heads (the same one from the beginning), knocking them both out before eaten by the monster, much to Bloo's shock. Mac is worried about explaining to his mother of Terrence's somewhat death, but Wilt settles Mac and shows him that the Extremeasaurus is revolted with Duchess and Terrence and spits both of them out of it's mouth right near the hands of Frankie and Mr. Herriman.
Once everyone is back at Foster's, Mr. Herriman apologizes to Mac for his misjudgment and wholeheartedly agrees about Terrence. Frankie informs Mac that she, Wilt, Eduardo and Coco have already decided to take care of dealing with Terrence. It reveals that Frankie, Wilt, Eduardo and Coco lock Terrence in the unicorn stables as punishment for his duplicity, much to Terrence's shock and horror. Terrence is finding himself at mercy of being surrounded with the angry unicorns, where one of them whom hold grudges at him that he had taunted them about female comment during the junkyard fight before they point their horns at him. As for Duchess, Mr. Herriman gives her punishment is to be forced to stay at Foster's because she hates living there so much since he can't think some of the other ways are too torturous (while Mac and Bloo taunts her), much to her and Frankie's dismay. Mac and Bloo are then surprised by the arrival of Madame Foster herself. She announces that Bloo can live there permanently and never be put up for adoption, as long as Mac visits him every day, much to his and Bloo's delight.
===Frankie My Dear===
It's Friday night, but Frankie's left deep in paperwork when she'd rather go out with her friends to a concert. Seeing Frankie unhappy, Mac says that he can do the paperwork himself and encourages Frankie to go to the concert -- though tempted by the offer, Frankie initially refuses, claiming that she doesn't want Mac to "suffer" either. But Mac insists that it's no big deal -- he claims to do this sort of thing all the time for his mom ("I organize [my Mom's] bank statements"). Overjoyed by this, Frankie calls him "the best" and kisses him on the cheek. After that, Mac develops a huge crush on Frankie, and later, Bloo does too.
The two start competing for her love the next day as Frankie is unusually happy about the previous night, mentioning how she met the man of her dreams. Soon they realize her unnamed suitor is neither of them, and Mac and Bloo become jealous, trying to thwart every guy she comes in contact with, namely Chris (a pizza guy), Prince Charming (an imaginary friend), and her real date, Dylan, who takes her to a fancy restaurant for their date.
Mac, Bloo, Prince Charming, and the delivery boy form a team and a master plan to get Frankie's new boyfriend. The plan involves Chris, Mac, and Bloo standing on each other's shoulders and wearing huge overcoat to make it look like they're one really tall person, with Bloo on top wearing a fake mustache and to the Prince Charming's disappointment, him disguised as a woman. The plan that involves trying to fool Frankie ultimately fails, because Frankie is able to see right through Bloo's ridiculous disguise. After Bloo talks the Prince Charming into taking Frankie to the lady's room to "powder their noses" Bloo tries to confront Dylan who quickly yanks the disguise off.
It turns out Dylan is a complete jerk as Dylan reveals his true colors— he claims that Frankie is his property and that she doesn't truly like Mac and Bloo, and is only being nice to them because she "feels sorry for them", but they corrected him by saying that Frankie is nice to them because she's cool and she likes them. Dylan goes as far as to verbally assault the three of them by saying that why would any girl want to go out with a dork, a kid, and a thing when they can go out with a guy like him. Dylan tries to send them off just as an enraged Frankie, who overheard his insults, comes out of the lady's room. Frankie angrily confronts Dylan about everything he said about her friends. Dylan unsuccessfully tries to hide what he did, and Frankie punches him.
In the end, Frankie and the guys are eating pizza at Foster's, and the guys talk about the way that Frankie beat up Dylan for what he did (during which it's revealed that Frankie gave him an atomic wedgie and that he apparently wears briefs). Mac apologizes for him and the other guys for ruining Frankie's date, but Frankie claims that the guys ultimately did her a favor, since Dylan turned out to be a jerk, and that, had the guys not done what they did, her life probably wouldn't have been that good.

When Bloo leaves a snowboard up in a tree, Mac climbs up to get it back down. He tries to reach for it but he can't hold the tree much longer and ends up falling down, but his backpack holds the branch to safe his life, however the strap of his backpack rips off and Mac falls back down in a mud puddle. When Mac falls on a girl named Goo, she begins visiting Mac every day at Foster's. With her hyperactive imagination, she creates a new friend one after another, which causes a big problem for the other imaginary friends in the house. After she creates so many imaginary friends that it crowds the whole house, the others have to sleep in the Foster's bus and feel that Mac is to blame for all of Goo's continuous visits.
