This show is a fav of mine, my daughters and my niece. Ages 54, 27 and 16. This is a show that we all can’t get enough of. Love the acting of all the characters but Jesus in session 4 has me on the edge of my seat. His acting is amazing. Jud is my favorite character….. Just love him.

I’m 67 and LOVE The Fosters!! It’s so relevant. Please keep up the wonderful work you are doing.

Darlene

I thoroughly enjoy this show. I am well beyond the 18-34 year old age demographic mentioned in the ratings and I hope this show continues for a long time. I especially enjoy the chemistry between Steph and Lena. Hope the writing continues to be relevant and doesn’t become pedantic. Thanks for renewing it.

Diane

Truly enjoy this show. It covers the good and bad part of life without using fowl language or extreme violence. Everthing including any sexual situations become a learning experience. I think it is a show that a family could watch together and come away with a positive attitude toward a great many issues facing people today. A very entertaining and informative show. Hope it will continue on.
