I love that. That would so be great in a episode...

Cool, what's that story from?

Well, I have to say the Frankie would be the best female character I've seen; Also the voice is so cool. I love it how she can be _very_ happy and _very_ angry, It's funny how much that can change in 1 episode. Look at Store Wars... ;)

That is SO good that I could actually see that in the show! Let's hope Craig is watching, Emma.;)

Madame Foster laughing at the end was priceless.
Frankie probally dosen't get paid alot, she's to nice to care. That's what alot of us love about her. An ever growing legion of fans.:frankiesmile:

This is weird for me but, I was really shocked at Frankie's actions after seeing "World Wide Wabbit". This doesn't change how I feel about her, but it does bother me a little considering I didn't think Frankie was acting the way she would normally act here.

Frankie has always had beefs with Herriman, his rules and that are incredible anal retentive and I know she acts like she wants to pop him one sometimes. But I was little surprised she would be so eager to totally slam Herriman in such a public scale.

It surprised me that Mac would actually prove to be the cooler head between him and Frankie, having her realize she'd be totally screwed if Herriman found out. But anyways, I just thought it was a little odd to have her so "evil" like happy to get dirt on Herriman.

I always felt that Frankie had a love/hate kinda relationshop after seeing what happened to them in "Setting a president". It was kinda funny to see her so giddy about it but at times, she almost seemed like she was becoming like Bloo.

Anyways it was just an odd realization for me but that doesn't change my love for Frankie or anything like that, just something weird that caught my attention.

It's an old episode; perhaps the writers were still trying to figure her out at that time. Plus I'm sure she has a dark side that comes out now and then; I've never met anyone who doesn't.

Yeah, that's why she's so Bloo-ish in my fan-fic is because of that episode. It was an earlier episode so they didn't have all the characters fully planend out yet. (Like Ed is obsessed with potatoes, Bloo barely ever shows his soft side, Franke is nice, etc...)

It was just weird for her, I mean I know it was an older episode but even when I saw Frankie in her first episodes like in "Store Wars" or "Blooo" she didn't really seem like the kind of person to act that way. But this is just me here.

Bloo definitely lost his soft side, or at least buried it deep deep DEEP down below and brings it out on rare occasions, "Bloo's the boss" for instance. Another weird thing was Frankie diving into the garbage can for her computer.

That was also weird but that i actually found funny just because it was just a surprising action. Frankie treated that thing like cookies or something.

It probably took her some time to save up for it on her salary; it could be quite valuable to her. Definitely funny though. :frankiesmile:

....I'd probably dive into a garbage can to get my computer. Well, maybe. Depends on what it had in it. Like if it was a bio-hazard dumpster in the back of a hospital, I probably wouldn't.

I'll do the smart thing and REACH for my computer out of the trash can rather then dive for it :frankiesmile:. Not saying Frankie was acting stupid, just silly and that's what made it all the more funnier.

It's amazing she can get the time to make a homepage for Foster's with all the taking care of the IFs and catering to Herriman's psycho cleaning rules and standards.

Some of the IF's probably give her a hand here and there; they can't all be unappreciative of all the work she does.

In would if it was my Mac, a PC not so much.

None of the characters are completely perfect angels; even WILT has been showing his dark side recently. That's what makes them so great and lovable.

I think for that episode, Frankie was obsessed with getting some serious payback--so much that she temporarily lost hold of sanity and reason. And it probably fried the part of her brain which dictates that you shouldn't dive into garbage cans.

But I loved that moment because not only was it funny, it shows that she isn't afraid to get down-and-dirty for what she loves, whether it's her friends or her computer.

I didant think Frankie intended to show the tape of Hariman to anyone, let alone put it on the internet. (Bloo did that) I think Frankie just wanted to have it so she could let Hariman know she had it and let him torture himself about it. I think she was so caught up in the momant that she didant relize the concequanses that could happen when it got on the net.
I thought her diving into the can for her computer was one of the funnyestparts of the episode. Computers are expensive and we see Frankie useing it alot in her spare time. I just loved it when she screemed "My baby!". I would have done the same if my computer was thrown into the trash.8D Plus it's a cartoon, so it would be funnyer if she jumped into the can rather then just reach into it.;)

I know I'm late to the discussion, but I liked that part (the trashcan jumping). Very funny. Would have been funnier if she'd owned a PC Jr.

Funnier to me at least...

That's all with Cheese, Cheese CAN & WILL make most people show their dark side including nice people like Wilt & Frankie.

All characters do. Witness Mac and sugar.

IN that episode I would ahve acted the same way. ON the net? no, but showing it to other residents? yeah!

Yeah that computer probally cost her alot of money & took alot of time away.

I caught "Busted" the other day and I have to say that Frankie looked really cute in that bathrobe with the towel over her head.:D

That she did. That whole scene in the bathroom was pretty funny, too. ;D

"Closer."
"I don't think I want too..."

Exactly! Classic moment! ;D

I love those Frankie/Harriman moments!8D

"Two squares Ms. Francis"

"What?! I'm not even doing that"

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, classic.

Okay, I can't have this thread heading towards a discussion of toilet paper or anything related to it, so here's something new; a shot of Frankie like nothing you've ever seen before:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...25/Red_Hot.jpg

I've always wanted to see her in red. I've been looking for the outfits she's worn on the show; y'all saw the little black dress in my Sims thread, the other outfits are proving to be harder to find. I did find the blue bikini from "Squeeze The Day" and her nightclothes from "Squeakerboxxx", but you can rest assured that I have no intention whatsoever of ever posting either one of them. ;)

As for the red outfit, what do you think? :)

Very nice. It makes Frankie look like she's going for an interview or something. Very profestional.:D
I just rewatched "Frankie my Dear" again today, and I have a question that will probobly not be answered. Dylin (That jerk:scaryberry: ) commented on the difficulty of Frankie's major. Does this mean she went to collage? She's 22 and she was likely 18 when she finished high-school, so that would be enough time for her to get a four year course. And in "The Big Cheese" she say's that she's a "profestional care-giver". But in "The Big Picture, you can see that she has been in the house almost her whole life-including the years she could have spent getting a degree.
I just assumed that she would have learned what she would have needed to be qualified to work at Fosters just from growing up there. And I like to think that all it would take to get the job is to have Maddam Foster give you the "look over" to see if you truely have, or could learn, a love for imaginary friends.
Maybe I'm just thinking too hard or I need to remember that as much as I would love to, I could never live in a cartoon.:( So what do you guys think?

I went to college, and I wasn't in class 24/7. ;) Frankie could have easily been in the house the day of the annual photo for those 4 years. Also, getting a degree in something does not automatically equal you getting a job in that field, as many of us here can attest. :) Frankie surely went to college, got a degree in something, and wound up right back at the house doing what she probably did during pretty much her entire child/teenhood, as well as every college break she had. :terrsmile: I wish *I* had a family business to fall back on, I can tell you that much.

OHHHH...yeah, I can attest, indeed. I have TWO degrees, one of which started out as a Visual Art degree with emphasis on Graphic Design. My intention was to become an advertising designer, but the computer revolution pretty much took care of THAT, so that degree had to morph into a Master of Art Education. That Biology degree was to help me get a job in a major zoo or wildlife park in the event that the advertizing thing didn't work out, and so far a bunch of sugar-hyped middle-schoolers are the closest I've gotten to dealing with "wildlife" as part of my career. I still came home on most weekends while at college, and was around for major family events, including family portraits, during my undergraduate years, and I had quite a drive between home and college. It's possible that Frankie was able to attend a college right there in her hometown, wherever Foster's is located, so she could still live at home and commute daily to classes. That's what I did while earning my Master's degree.

pitbulllady

I would agree with Pitbulllady,

I think Frankie would have gone to school locally,
Most likely night school.

I put myself through school (attending three different institutions in comletion of my AS,AAS and BS) and have come seen many other students commuting to classes. Where some but not all worked full time. It is very common for people that work in family bussiness to attend night school as opposed to going away to school (in my opinion).

Monty:-/

Thanks, guys. That was very informative. I finished high-school and never went to, or intend to, collage. I hated school more then anything else in my life, and the thought of going to another one just makes me wanna die.:(
I don't know what it is but Frankie just dosent strike me as the collage type. I guess that's just one more thing that makes her out of my league if she were real.8D

Wellll... It depends, she coudl actually have finished earlier than 18: I'm a year younger than my classmates and I got an offer to skip senior year (I don't actually meet the qualifications, though) from a college in california, which would mean i'd start college at 16. WHich i can't, but it's possible for someone not so hard-headed as I to do.

I personally think Frankie didn't go to college yet, or if she did, she just got started and had to stop due to her duties at Foster's. Frankie's knowledge of the computer and judging by her own attitudes, I'd say she's been out of high school for a bit now.

My guess is that she wasn't able to do as much at Foster's as a child as she was growing up, with school and all. But now that she's an adult, she's free to take time off and devote herself full time to Foster's, which is what's most important to her.

Frankie doesn't seem like the kind of person who's rushing to go back to school, she seems content and happy where she is. I'm sure she wants to go back but it's obvious no matter how you slice it that her heart will always belong at Foster's first and foremost.

Dylan says to her in Frankie My Dear:

"Wow, I heard that's a really tough major; I'm impressed. So, what do you do now that you've graduated?"

I suppose one could argue that he's referring to a high school major. But I wouldn't.

I just think it's a bit fast for her to finish college so quickly.

Especially with such a heavy load to take care of at Foster's.

Well, college is typically 4 years. If she graduated high school at the age of 17 (her birthday being in July, so she would have turned 18 that summer) and entered college that fall (again, at the age of 18), she would have graduated at the age of 21 (in May/June) and turned 22 the following July. I was 17 when I graduated high school, it's quite common.

But if anyone prefers to think she didn't go to college, no one's stopping them. :terrsmile: It's just a cartoon and we're all just throwing theories around half the time anyways. It's fun.

I just don't find Frankie to be the collage type. I'm not insulting her intellagane or anything, she just seems happy at Fosters. We all know that she's going to take over someday.:D

Would you mind telling us exactly what IS "the college type"? I have two degrees, like I've said, yet I did very little drinking in college(REALLY), I had no interest whatsoever in pledging a sororiety, I came home to my family on most weekends, and I actually made very good grades-3.8 GPA. I knew from the get-go that if I wanted to get a half-way decent job and be able to afford getting out on my own and not have to live with my parents for the rest of my life, I needed a degree. Frankie probably was thinking along those same lines, since she seems to be the practical, logical sort, much like myself. She might not have actually been WORKING at Foster's while she was in college, but like so many college grads, might have found that it was far more difficult to get a job in her chosen major than she originally thought, and her grandmother offered to put her on the payroll, OR she might have had a change of heart about pursuing a graduate degree and career outside of her home. That often happens, too. I orignally set out to be a graphic designer, with big dreams of moving away to a big city like NYC or LA, but the Computer Revolution did for graphic designers what robotics has done for the automobile industry, and I quickly discovered that my family and country traditions that I almost wound up taking for granted were more important than a job far away in some big cold city. I can easily see Frankie arriving at a similar conclusion upon graduation.

Incidentally, I graduated when I was 17 from high school, turned 18 the following July(didn't the info on Frankie's DL say she was born in July, as well?), and completed my undergraduate degree by the time I was
21. I COULD have actually graduated earlier than that, having exempted most of my basic ed requirements, like US History, Literature 101, and several Biology and General Science, by taking AP tests in high school. I just got sorta lazy in my Sr. year of college and opted out against taking a full course load each first semester, which meant I had to go through the second semester to get enough credits.

pitbulllady

the "Frankie My Dear" reference to her "major" and "graduation" does everything short of prove that the writers intend her to be a college graduate.

Mr. M, I haven't seen anything that indicates (with certainty) that she's worked at Foster's fulltime all through her college-age years (she's obviously lived there, or at least shown up for picture day and secret door openings). Finishing college before or at the age of 22 is certainly not unthinkable...

July 25, 1984 is what it said. The premiere date of the Foster's Pilot movie, I believe, with 1984 being the year neccessary to make Frankie 22 years old when "Bus the Two of Us" aired.

speaking of which, she needs to get her lisence renewed by January 9.
