With the thing on "World Wide Wabbit" and "One False Movie" he could've re-done any scenes he messed up on, but with the Friday's Friend thing it looks like he would've only gotten one chance.

Those local evening news programs ARE live, AND they have to adhere to a strict schedule, so there's no room for mess-ups. There's no way to shoot a re-take or anything like that, and even if the audience isn't the studio, Wilt would be smart enough to know that there were still a LOT of people watching him at that very moment, whether or not he could see them. That is just the sort of pressure that seems to have the worst effect on him. Knowing Wilt, though, if he did manage to keep his composure, he probably wouldn't have tried to convince anyone to adopt HIM, but would have used that opportunity to talk about Foster's in general and all the OTHER great Imaginary Friends there who needed homes, as Jekyljuice suggested. Probably several other Friends found new homes due to Wilt's public service announcement, but as is the case with the Adopt-A-Thought Saturdays, most people probably assume he's an employee who's not up for adoption.

Were the "Friday's Friend" segments broadcast live? Given that Eduardo and later Bloo were able to view their spots from the comfort of their own living room, I'd kind of assumed not. Unless of course they were watching repeats of what had been shown earlier in the day.

I Think wilts a very boring character, The only excitement ive seen is when frankie was chasing him in that neighborhood episode, other than that, A waste of ink and vocal cords.

I beg to differ, and as you can see, there are a LOT of people on here who do likewise. It's not a very smart move to come on a thread devoted to a character, and totally bash that character, and it would be prudent of you to avoid doing so in the future. If you want to character-bash, try tv.com's Foster's forum, since it's a haven for character-bashers, spammers, trolls and other internet detritus.

Im just stating my opinion, if i cant do that in here than where? this is the most appropriate section to do it since its about "WILT".

Makes sense to me.

[BabyCharmander]

She told you where. This is a topic for discussing the character, not bashing him.

Not everyone has to like a character, I know I like plenty of characters the some of my friends don't really care for, and vice versa, but they're never outright bash the characters I like, and I'd never bash the characters they like, either.

I don't see anything wrong with saying you dislike him, but outright bashing him and declaring him to be a waste of ink and vocal cords just isn't cool...

I think the complete opposite of you, I like Wilt, but I'm not going to bash you for thinking that way...

If he thinks Wilt's boring, try watching paint dry! That's faaaaar more boring.

...But seriously, there's nothing wrong with trying to watch paint dry, and then comparing it to a wonderful nice mysterious helpful apologetic adorable large-smiled character like Wilt.

Wilt is one of the few character on the show that we've seen actually undergo real character development. We've seen drastic changes in his personality, from a confident, head-held-high helper in Season One(especially in the pilot), then the "deeper" they "dug" into the character, the more we realized that all wasn't well, that Wilt had some serious issues and was dealing with them in less and less of a good way as time wore on. His lowest, and yet most-interesting, points were in Season Four, prior to GWH, when it seemed clear that whatever demons he was fighting were winning the battle, and that there was something that he was keeping hidden. What little we've seen of him in Season Five, though, seems to indicate that Wilt is finally beginning to heal and find some closure to his unpleasant past; "Nightmare On Wilson Way" really showed a side of him that has probably always been there, but has been repressed out of fear of upsetting someone or making someone disappointed in some way, and now of course we know WHY that's been Wilt's obsession for the past 30 years. Wilt is by far the most down-to-earth, ADULT character on the show, which is one of the reasons he appeals so much to me, personally. I can't really relate to child or child-like characters anymore, and I certainly cannot relate to someone like Bloo, who thrives on chaos. Wilt is someone who embodies positive character traits, in spite of what most people would see as an insurmountable handicap, and that fact that he's overcome anything like that, and never uses it as a "crutch" or excuse not to do something, is reason alone to like him. His voice is very pleasing to hear also, both the pitch and the accent, which is as familiar to me as the scent of Magnolia blossoms and the taste of a home-cooked Southern Sunday dinner. Wilt is like a relic of a by-gone era when MOST people were willing to help others just because it made themselves feel good, not expecting anything in return, and I guess that to someone who lives for the "it's all about ME" credo, as so many people nowadays do, that must seem awfully strange and screwed-up.

You know, just a thought.

If this isn't a troll, he has his right to his opinion. of course, other people also have the right to disagree with him.


If he is a troll...
