* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The show is about an imaginary friend reuniting with her creator after not having seen each other in a long time, but just because the show stars an imaginary friend doesn't make it for kids. The titular character drinks alcohol, there is tons of swearing, and one episode had a subplot about sex. In short, it's a SpiritualSuccessor to Drop Dead Fred. Not helping matters is that Imaginary Mary came out shortly after Inside Out, a children's movie (distributed by Disney, which is the parent company of the series' home network ABC) with its own cute imaginary friend character, did.
