The Frankie Foster appreciation thread

[Frankie_4_Prez]

Those characters were alright. They had good intentions, though clearly not enough sensibility to impress Frankie. After all, their computer systems were crucial in finding Wilt. And though I haven't watched too many cartoons, I daresay that a character with that kind of stereotype could easily be voiced with a very annoying tone, which wasn't the case here.

[Xroc88]

I just noticed im only two years younger than her. Im sure she'd date me in "frankie my dear" that dillian dude seemed like such a twit.

Dylan is the north end of a southbound donkey - and I will not get into what I think of Goofball Magee.:wiltshock:

[Cassini90125]

Goofball has been dealt with; let's keep him out of this thread.

On a much happier note, my calendar tells me that July 25th is coming up in two weeks. I think we all know what that means, right? I thought so. So, any Frankie fans out there who'd like their names on the upcoming birthday card? :frankiesmile:

[WiltsAKGirl17]

Dang, the 25th is coming up! Shoot, where does time go?

Anyway, I always miss out on the nice, thoughtful cards and whatnot that everyone makes for these sort of occassions, so... sign me up, please. :frankiesmile:

[Mac-a-lacka]

So, any Frankie fans out there who'd like their names on the upcoming birthday card? :frankiesmile:

I would!

But, if I may ask, where exactly is Frankie's birthday card shown off at? :frankiesmile:

[Cassini90125]

I would!

But, if I may ask, where exactly is Frankie's birthday card shown off at? :frankiesmile:

In this thread. Look around, here and in the old Frankie thread, you'll find other birthday and Valentine's Day cards people have posted for her. :frankiesmile:

[Mac-a-lacka]

Oh, now I see. :)

Frankie definitely gets appreciated around here. :frankiesmile:

[Cassini90125]

She certainly doesn't on other sites. But yeah, some of us do like to express how we feel about her her; I know I do. She's so woth it. :frankiesmile:

[Xroc88]

Sing me in, i would like my name on there also.

I hope they are making a birthday ep for frankie and it airs on july 25th, that will be awesome but i doubt it because she doesn't get the recognition she deserves.

[Cassini90125]

She rarely does. Sorry, but no such episode is coming up for the 25th; if it were I think we'd have heard something by now.

Just a reminder to y'all; the 25th is also Lauren's birthday. ;D

Yeah, like I even need to ask you guys. ;)

Earlier today (yesterday now) I spent some time tweaking the desktop wallpaper I made from Craig's pic, trying to resize it for my laptop. Not an especially easy task, given that my main system and my laptop's screens don't have the same proportions; the former is 1024x768, while the latter is 1280x800. Eventually I got everything the way I wanted it and installed it. There was much rejoicing. Anyway, I thought y'all might like to see how it looks when in use so I made a screencap, resized it for Photobucket, and here it is:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/ffdw02.jpg

I wish you could see the full-sized version; it's a beautiful sight, it really is. :frankiesmile:

Thanks again, Craig. :)

Yup it is very nice. I have the wallpaper of Frankie and IF Frankie (comicbook) Where Bloo is calling Frankie a showoff for having a twin.

Did I mention I was in love with IF Frankie?:frankiesmile:

[Xroc88]

Id like to think that frankie has no definite stereotype about herself, She is so original and fresh that she doesn't need to be categorized in anyway.


The only thing i can say is that she is very strong and has potential, sadly the writers don;t fully use her that much to show it. They only focus on wilt,eduardo and coco because little kids can fully relate to them more, while adults like us can faun over miss foster.

[frankie_fan]

Hey guys. You may have noticed that I've now changed my avatar and signature bar for two reasons:

1) It's July 25th in Australia now and we all know what that means.
2) I'm starting to get sick of my old sig bar. The whole 'Black fingernails' thing has become old! 8D

So, I'll be the first to wish a very happy birthday to Frankie! :-* :-* :-* :-*

[Lynnie]

Aw, that's a cute sig FF! I wish the second picture was a bit higher quality, but then, you probably do too huh? It still looks great!

Happy Birthday Frankie! :frankiesmile:

Sorry I'm late for for our #1 lady's Birthday party. Here's to Frankie having a day to kick up her feet and relax.
And I see some great new stuff being sported around here to. Great avi and sig bar, Ducky! And I love that wallpaper, Cass. What a great way to make use of that sketch you got.:D

[L.G.]

Should've said this sooner but Happy belated Birthday, Frankie.

My present to her would be $250 worth of diesel fuel so she can still take fun trips with the whole Foster house despite rising fuel costs :scribble:.

[WiltsAKGirl17]

It's a shame I missed Frankie's birthday, really, but I had something resembling an excuse (grounded xP), so I'm going to try to redeem myself:

~ Happy birthday, Frankie, even if it is later than it should have been!

~ Gorgeous card, Cassini! It's amazing-- just like the recipient. :-*

~ I really like your new avatar and sig bar, FF-- very sharp and nice looking.

This guy named dude13 at fanfiction.net writes really great frankie stories. I love them, jhe knows how to keep frankie in perfect character and it makes me even love her much more, good to read while waiting for new fosters eps.:frankiesmile:

"Perfect character"? I've never noticed that Frankie was so bi-polar on the show, swinging from acting like a silly, goofy little girl one moment and becoming a screaming, hysterical maniac the next. I never noticed Mac being a whiny, scaredy-cat crybaby, either-that's Eduardo's gig. Frankie is a LOT more emotionally stable on the show than in those fanfics, sorry. But then, those stories are "AU", more or less.

pitbulllady

[Xroc88]

But its still the same personality, on the show frankie doesn't put up with anybody, same in the fanfics, although it seems to exaggerate it a bit, i see no changes.

[duck2k]

I do enjoy Dude 13's stuff as well. The stories are fun to read, but PB is right, he goes over the top with Frankie's character (Mac and some of the other characters too). While Frankie can be the big sister, prankster, the hard worker, or a mother hen, she does not overdo these little roles. The only thing I was disgusted with Frankie, is when she showed her weakness in "Little Peas." I felt a strong young woman of Frankie's caliber, should never show her weakness ("I'm such a LOSER!"). There is nothing wrong with her doing that in the privacy of her bedroom; I was very upset when she showed her "vulnerability" hand. While I think it was a set back on Frankie's demeanor - I will not love her less.:frankiesmile:

[Mac-a-lacka]

I've never really noticed or payed much attention to any possible "out of character-ness" in Dude13's fics. :P :wiltshock:

But, I still really enjoy his stories. :)

[Cassini90125]

We all reach our breaking points. Considering what Frankie has to put up with every dang day, I don't blame her at all. As for fanfics, you already know my opinion of the bulk of them. :frankiemad: Of more interest to me right now is whether or not our favorite lady will have a significant role in the remaining few episodes and the movie. We'll definitely be seeing her in Return Of The Bloo Superdude (y'all are going to love her costume) but I don't know anything beyond that.

Return Of The Bloo Superdude is a new episode; they showed us a preview at Comic-Con. Looks like a dang good one, too. I don't know what the airdate is, though; not until November at least.

[Xroc88]

You said frankie has a costume? how does it look like?

No, I'm talking about a new episode with the Bloo Superdude that hasn't aired yet. The preview had Frankie in a supervillain costume, mostly black, with a high coller, high-heeled boots, and a cape. And an attitude. :frankiesmile:

*dusts off the thread*

Hey Cass, do you know when this Bloo Superdude episode airs? I'm DYING to see Frankie in this supervillain outfit! :frankiesmile:

[Cassini90125]

I don't honestly know. If the movie is the next new episode we get, and it airs on Thanksgiving, we may not see Bloo Superdude 2 until December. :P

I looked on YouTube earlier in the hope that someone had managed to record the clip we saw at the Con but I found nothing. Guess we'll just have to wait for it. Definitely an interesting outfit, I'll say that. :frankiesmile:

[Xroc88]

I seriously hope she will get good sized roll in the final eps and the movie. If not i will be severly dissapointed, she hasnt had a good sized roll lately and that is worrying.

[Medikor]

I'm sure that the crew will do their best to give the characters equal treatment for the final season. Frankie included.:frankiesmile:

[duck2k]

It is the last hurrah, they have to put quality time into each character.:frankiesmile:

[Mr. Marshmallow]

I sure hope so. Frankie I think deserves much more attention, focus and above all, appreciation and I feel its a shame that she didn't get at least a little bit more air time after 6 seasons. I'm hoping the last episode will give her a pretty decent chunk of air time, I mean she got pretty good work in the Wilt movie.

Unfortunately, I have my doubts that she won't get that much time or credit to amount up to a proper send off. Much as I do love Frankie, I fear she isn't seen by other fans as such an important asset in the "credit" department. The only way I can see it working is if there's some big problem, plot, or issue that can involve everyone so everyone can contribute.

Kind of like the climax to Pirates of the Caribbean or Season 1 of Heroes, all the characters both big and small managed to play a role relating towards the bigger issue at hand. Its rare to see it done properly but it can be done and I hope Fosters can accomplish that....but most importantly, I hope Frankie gets some mad love ;D.

Lots of Frankie fans has said how much we love her on this board, so let's hope we get some more reasons to love her by this last episode. Here's hoping.

[Cassini90125]

I think we'll get something, although perhaps not as much as we'd like. She might have a decent-size role in Destination Imagination, although the movie itself is I think likely to focus on Mac and Bloo. But yeah, she very definitely deserves some quality screentime. And I agree, some other fans don't give her the credit she deserves or even have much regard for her. But we know better, and that counts for something in my book. :frankiesmile:

As for her role in the remaining episodes, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I think she'll have a significant role in Bloo Superdude 2 but beyond that I haven't heard anything. As you said, here's hoping. :frankiesmile:

[Xroc88]

If this show wasn't IF focused based then im sure frankie would definatley get much more attention, but since its heavily focused on the fosters five that we've all seen too much of than i have my doubts also.

Seriously when i heard the fosters five and looked at the picture and it didn't include frankie i kicked a chair.:edmad:

[Cassini90125]

That's the way the show was designed, dude. Strong fan base or not, she was always intended to be a secondary character. Nonetheless she's gotten a couple episodes of her own, and happily they were among the best of the series. :frankiesmile:

[Xroc88]

I gues your right. but still when your a hardcore fan of someone you must want MAOR!!:cheesegrin:

Inspired by Sparky's recent work with the online coloring book (http://www.fosters-home.com/coloring/), I decided to make myself a birthday present. I liked the results so I thought I'd share it with you guys:

[Mac-a-lacka]

Nice picture. :) :frankiesmile:

[L.G.]

Awesome! :groovyed:

[Cassini90125]

Thanks, guys. :frankiesmile:

Something perhaps worth noting, here. The coloring book contains scenes from three Foster's episodes, including Store Wars, which is the story containing the pic I colorized. Take a look at Frankie's ears; in the pic (and throughout the book) she has the redesigned version, which weren't created until long after Store Wars originally aired. Mildly interesting factoid, I think. :frankiesmile:

[Lynnie]

I saw this last night, no reason really for not replying until now, but good job Cass! She looks like she just stepped out of the show. :frankiesmile:

I don't remember noticing how her ears are different in the early episodes as compared to the later ones. I know her hair was different, with wispy strands hanging loosely in front of her ears in the earlier episodes. Hm, going to go look at some screencaps now. :smed:

[Cassini90125]

Version #2 is an improvement, in my opinion. As I recall there was at least one episode where she had both versions at different points.

[Lynnie]

Aah, I see now. In the early episodes her ears are elongated and almost appear to be pasted to the side of her head. In later episodes they're rounder and stick out a little more naturally. I agree, the later ones are much nicer looking. She looks cuter in the later episodes. :frankiesmile:

[Cassini90125]

It's Thanksgiving, the day we give thanks for the things and people in our lives. Of all the things and people that I'm glad are a part of my life, Frankie Foster always tops the list. This is for Frankie, the lady who always makes me smile, and who truly lights up my life.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/FFSH.jpg

Happy thanksgiving to you, Frankie Foster, and to all her fans everywhere. :frankiesmile:

[Lynnie]

Aw, very nice Cass. :frankiesmile: I've always really liked that song, too. I sometimes sing it to myself. And of course I always like those space backgrounds you choose.

[xxxClaire]

Aw, that's sweet. :frankiesmile:

[frankie_fan]

[Mac-a-lacka]

I bet Frankie would love it. :frankiesmile:

[Frankie_Foster]

Indeed I she would! :frankiesmile: 8D

[duck2k]

Nice Thanksgiving tribute Cass. Our princess would definitely love it. She makes it all happen at that place for those imaginaries!:frankiesmile:

[Cassini90125]

As I've been saying for ages. She's the one who keeps the place going, and almost entirely by herself. No one else even comes close. Quite a lady. :frankiesmile:

Love the new sig, by the way. :frankiesmile:

[Mr. Marshmallow]

"Destination Imagination" is the pinnacle of Frankie fan devotion, as I said before in the actual episode thread, this movie just honestly felt like Craig and the other creators were bending over backwards and literally giving Frankie everything the Frankie fans have been asking for since she first appeared.

Every minute of this movie was such a treat, everything in it was perfection at its finest and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. Finally now everyone who watches the show can see Frankie is and always will be, the heart of Fosters.

[Cassini90125]

In truth, not quite everything; it left a couple of large questions unanswered, although I got them answered at the Con so it wasn't a big deal (for me, anyway). The first segment of the movie was amazing; so was the rest of it but that first part, to sit there and watch the herculean effort Frankie puts forth day after day with little help and hardly a break... wow. You've got to give her a lot of credit for that. Small wonder that she succumbed to the lure of the toybox; she needed and deserved a break, a long one, and she needed and deserved it badly. I doubt any of us would have been able to resist either.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Only thing I would have liked to know is about Frankie's past and her parents but I think this is something that needed to happen.

I think this movie needed to be this way and people needed to see Frankie's importance on a larger level.

Something Frankie's past episodes and other "crazy house in a panic episodes" failed to truly capture the true depth of the emotional need and importance of Frankie until now.

[Cassini90125]

It succeeded, too, I think. It's always been said on the CN site's Foster's page that "Frankie is the engine that keeps Foster's running"; the way the House fell apart when she decided to stay in the toybox proves just how indispensable she is, as did Mr. Herriman's futile attempts to find a replacement. Can't be done, Mr. H., can't be done. :frankiesmile:

[duck2k]

Concur; Frankie is the ONLY one that can handle the load at Foster's. She is the only one that knows the ins and outs. Foster's would not be Foster's without her.

I do not blame her for taking an unexpected hiatus. If that was me - I would NEVER come back. For me there would really be no reason to. Kind of like when Ozma made Dorothy, Uncle Henry, and Aunt Em, permanent residents in the land of Oz (yes I do read the original L Frank Baum stories).:frankiesmile:

[Xroc88]

Frankie certainly delivered in this movie. I think she is the movies main character.
