How can we forget Tony from The Shining? XD "REDRUM! REDRUM!"

And Johnny 2x4's best buddy Plank from Ed, Edd 'n Eddy!

Ooh, I thought of another one! Billy, Murdock's invisible dog from the A Team. Though I desperately wanted to believe that he was real.

Oh yes, and does this ring any bells? : "Where's Wilson? Where's Wilson? Wilson, where are you? Wilson! Wilson! Wilson! Wilson! I'm comin'! Wilson! I... Wilson! Wilson!"

Nope.

I got another one. Patches the evil Imaginary Friend from PPG and the imaginary lady bunny who beats him up.

There's also a song by The Divine Comedy called My Imaginary Friend. He's called Benjamin. This is the last verse:

One day we're gonna play hide and seek
And Ben will be up the creek
Never to be seen again
He'll disappear the day that childhood ends
And reality descends
I'll never forget you my imaginary friend.

Wasn't "Wilson" the Imaginary Friend/companion of Tom Hanks' character in Castaway? I think that was the name of the movie, where Hanks put faces on coconuts and talked to them so he wouldn't forget how to talk, and he eventually started believing that "Wilson" was real.

They did a hilarious parody of that on the "Lilo and Stitch" tv series on Disney Channel, where Pleakley drew a face on a coconut and started talking to it after like, five minutes on this island that's actually not deserted at all.

Lol Wilson. I saw someone who had a Wilson antenna ball on their truck.

Lynnie · 09-20-2007, 08:40 PM

Oh yeah, I remember Castaway. Interesting movie, I liked it. Don't remember his character's name, but Tom painted a face on a volleyball that had been in a package he opened, hoping it would be of some help to his survival. He named it "Wilson" because it was a Wilson ball. He got quite attached to that ball (and the viewers did as well), and shortly before he was finally rescued he actually got mad at "Wilson", yelled at "him", and threw "him" far away. And when he realized what he did, he started crying. I remember that scene really tugged on my emotions, too.

jekylljuice · 09-21-2007, 04:35 AM

Yeah, good old Wilson. In reality he was a blood-stained volleyball, but the companionship-starved Tom Hanks was able to project so much personality and emotion upon him that it makes his final character arc quite heart-breaking. Dear Wilson.

On the plus side, in real life things appear to have ended quite happily for Wilson. Having retired from show business, the volleyball in question was apparently purchased for $18,400 on an online auction (according to these Movie Trivia playing cards I have). Well, who wouldn't want to give that loveable little volleyball a home?

And I do remember seeing the Power Puff Girls episode with Patches several years ago. It scared the bejeezers out of me at the time.

WiltsAKGirl17 · 10-07-2007, 11:30 AM

OK, I'm probably the only person on the boards who'd know this one:

The entire episode of "Imaginary Friend," fromStar Trek: The Next Generation. (Sorry, I can't remember the season number-- usually I try to put info like that in.) In it, a little girl's imaginary friend is taken over my a bodiless alien thing and begins wreaking (sp?) havoc on the ship.

I doubt I'll ever forget Whoopi Goldberg's line best line in the ep (IMO): I don't think you should have to give up your imaginary friend. I automatically thought of Foster's and Mac and Bloo. (

This is going to sound really nerdy. OK, when I was yuonger there was a nickelodeon show called Space Cases that I used to watch. On Space Cases there was a character named Catalina who was always made fun of because her best friend Suzee was imaginary. Catalina always claimed Suzee was actually only invisible, but nobody believed her. I think eventually Suzee did turn out to be real and everyone was really surprised when she appeared.

So that's basically what I think of when I think of other shows with imaginary friends... even though Suzee wasn't imaginary... but everyone thought she was.

Anyone remember MR. BOGUS, the cartoon and the movie?
