The Fosters was one of the best family shows on tv. I'm 65 and just loved this family and their values in raising these children. Keep it going. No spin off

so sad to see them go! ?

0 1 DL March 16, 2018

I cannot believe they are not having a Season 6 with the whole family, but instead a "spin off?" I am a senior citizen and I absolutely LOVE this show and the characters. I will admit though, that the story line was not quite as captivating the last few episodes, and I got a bit tired of seeing Jude on his "game" show. But the lessons learned for kids was worth it. I would have liked them to concentrate a little more on Lena and Steph, and their work roles, and what it takes to keep a family like theirs going. They really should KEEP THIS SHOW ON THE AIR! We definitely need more shows on with this kind of diversity.

I'm 59 and I also loved the Foster family very much! The spin-off is, in my opinion, a good way to, indirectly, prolong "The Fosters". It will not be the same, the girls will not be teenagers anymore, but that's much better than to end the story completely, right?

"Many Roads" seemed to me as a natural end of The Fosters! Sad to see them go! The series was awesome! ?

0 0 Lindsey Price March 7, 2018

Shows been cancelled, for a spin-off. 3 specials to air in summer.

Spin off of what character? Callie, Brandon?

0 0 Lindsey Price Dejan Milenkovic March 16, 2018

At the moment it's announced its about Callie and Marianna.

SEASON 5 IS GOING TO BE SO GOOD. I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL IT COMES OUT.

0 0 GONZALEZ May 18, 2017

I love this show that I can't wait for season 5.....

0 0 VICKIDEE GONZALEZ May 27, 2017

This is one great TV show; it demonstrates a wide range of diversity and compassion for humanity. The writer of this show has great vision and keeps you waiting for the next five minutes.

I am a grandmother and absolutely LOVE The Fosters. Found it by accident on Netflix. I watch the 7pm episode and then rewatch it again at 9pm. Hope they NEVER cancel it and Stef and Lena grow old together and have lots of grandkids. There are so many interesting stories and themes they can go with. Great character development. Thank you Freeform.

0 0 Li January 30, 2017

I don't want to STOP Watching this show i really like it ...is interesting for me.. so please make season 5 happen too......thanks..

0 0 Jessica Rivera January 2, 2017

I really hate how they just left off like that. I hope Jesus is okay. I hope Marianna gets some sleep and Nick is sent off. I wish that the funaial situation gets better. I hope Jude stops smoking weed. I wish Kyle gets out of jail. I like Aj and Callie together but Callie and Aaron would make a cute couple. Really excited but probably going to have to wait for it on Netflix.

0 1 Michael December 13, 2016

I hope that it will be on the @Netflix. Stuff seems to disappear from there. I hope that's not the case. I don't subscribe to cable and I cannot get on the air TV.

0 0 Minahill Kirmani December 13, 2016

Why is it taking so long to air back on? I hope the new episodes are on Netflix as soon as it airs back on t.v. I watched every episode on Netflix, and I am very curious about what happens next. I am trying to be patient and waiting for the next. I hope Jesus is alive and Mariana problems are cleared about Nick. I hope Kyle gets out of juvie, because he seems like a nice guy. I hope Brandon comes home, stays or gets a second chance at Julliard. I hope everyone gets back in true relationships and stay together. I hope Callie bails out the Harvey dude. I hope they keep their house. I hope Mariana stops taking Jesus AHDH pills and move on. I hope Gabe tries to reach out to the twins. I hope Jude stays happy and stop smoking pot. I hope Step and Lena are safe and happy. I hope that the Adams-Family work everything out. I also want to know what happens to the others Ana, Connor, Robert, Sophia, Daphne, etc. They can't just leave off here, i feel lost and I want it to be a happy ending.

I meant adams-foster ;-)

0 0 hey im claire Minahill Kirmani December 17, 2016

it's called the "mid-season finale." they pause the series for a period of time until they return with new episodes. usually, we are left on a cliff-hanger just like what happened here :) hope this helped!

0 0 Lit Minahill Kirmani December 28, 2016

I really think that this Harvey kid killed his grandmother, but it's just my opinion. I hate the mid season cliffhangers, like who does that!?

0 0 Nene December 12, 2016

I hate it for nick, he didn't mean any of this he was hurt. Callie omg and please don't take Jesus

0 0 Kia L. December 11, 2016

Absolutely live this show!! I'm worried about Callie but I'm worried about Jesus. But i think Jesus is more safe then Callie. Emotions torn. :o :sad: :sad:

0 0 Lachelle Rodriguez December 4, 2016

I absolutely love this show.Me being a previous foster child, I feel this show hit it right on point with all the emotions it comes with being a foster child to he reforms bills and just living a daily life. I cannot wait until Season 4 Part Two is released. I will be watching

0 1 Resha Lachelle Rodriguez December 19, 2016

0 0 Mandy Lee November 18, 2016

To me, this show has an amazing background and plot.. I hope this show never ends, seriously. It's literally my favorite and I do a lot of replay & catch up on Netflix. I love everyone in this show! Everyone has a special character and by far, I dont just favor one, I favor all!!! Great role plays and this is the only best show that covers everything on a daily life & sometimes, I feel it too, their pain and love. It's so great to see how supportive Stef and Lena are! I would love for them to be my moms, lol. Please dont ever cancel this show!!!! Cant wait for more!
