You know, for a bunch of people who watch cartoons, we're awfully mature and deep.8D

I like to think it says something about both the quality of the show and the caliber of it's fans. I think it's by far the best program that CN's ever come out with, and while it's certainly attracted it's share of freaks, it's attracted a lot of really good, caring people as well, as one can see in this thread and elsewhere on the Forum. :frankiesmile:

Mr. Marshmallow 09-04-2006 09:52 AM

Well said.

Take a bow you crazy Foster's fans ^^.

Medikor 09-04-2006 09:53 AM

*Promptly bow's*

Voxxyn 09-04-2006 12:29 PM

**Joins in**

Cassini90125 09-04-2006 01:15 PM

(Bows as well) Now, back to Frankie. :frankiesmile:

Here's the most obscure and obsessive bit of Frankie trivia I could come up with. Did anyone else notice that in both Squeeze The Day and The Big Cheese Frankie has five toes on her feet, but in Squeakerboxxx she has only four? :o

Yeah, I know, I'm not well. ;D

billytheskink 09-04-2006 03:12 PM

that's pretty interesting actually, Cassini. To me, anyway.

Well there is an obvious explanation for that; "Four Toed Frankie" is Frankie's stunt/body double. 8D

Hmmmm, Four Toed Frankie, that sounds like the name of a gangster from one of those cheesy crime movies :D

kageri 09-04-2006 03:47 PM

I get dibs on "Four Toed Frankie" as a rock band name. I was here first!

LOL! That was priceless! ;D

Mr. Marshmallow 09-04-2006 05:06 PM

Obscure and obsessive?

Why that's the definition of a true geek fan!

Just playing, that is odd but I'm sure that's just a mistake. I taped "The Big Cheese" tonight so I can rewatch it.

By the way, seeing Frankie do that just for the security code was certainly funny, but also certainly weird.

Medikor 09-04-2006 05:14 PM

I can't wait for season dvd's so I can see all these episodes! Frankie's pressance in an episode always make me smile and feel much better. I don't know why, but she's the perfect pick-me-up after a bad day.8D

That she is. The whole cast is, actually, but Frankie in particular. If I'm having a bad day I sometimes pop a Foster's disk into my DVR, kick back and just lose myself in an episode or two, and within ten minutes or so I'm feeling better. Works every time. ;)

Don't try this with "Imposter's Home", though. :P

Medikor 09-04-2006 05:51 PM

I still have to see "Imposters", so no worries there!8D

Voxxyn 09-04-2006 07:36 PM

Absolutely. Especially in "Foster's Goes To Europe"; Frankie seemed to be the ONLY one(aside from Mac) who was actually trying to be responsible in that episode... and, of course, it's her who discovers that Madame Foster is gone at the end.

After watching that episode, I wondered(and still do) that if I were Mac, I would've just stayed behind and let Frankie go to Europe on her own. She definitely deserves it.

Medikor 09-05-2006 07:00 AM

I don't think Frankie would have enjoyed Europe as much without her good friends.

Mr. Marshmallow 09-05-2006 05:22 PM

I think she would have been fine so long as Bloo wasn't there, she didn't have any problem ditching him during "Squeeze the day".

Mac was at school but I bet if he was out on that day, they would have asked him too, or I should say Frankie would have asked him.

Medikor 09-05-2006 05:33 PM

Mac's a cool kid. Why wouldan't Frankie ask him if he would want to go? Maybe she see's him as the sibling she never had (as far as we know).

No that's what i am saying. If Mac was out on school that day or he was off or something, I do believe Frankie would have asked him to come.

Frankie has always gotten along great with Mac, and they've never been at ends with each other the whole time I've watched the show.

Only time she ever got mad I can recall offhand is when Bloo and Mac tried to crank out Orlando "Bloo" again during "Neighbor Pains". To which Frankie replied

"I AM BURNING THESE"

To which, I laughed my ass off 8D.

Voxxyn 09-05-2006 08:17 PM

Actually, there's a pretty nasty instance of Frankie being angry at Mac in "Crime After Crime". If you haven't seen that episode yet, I suggest you catch it when it airs to get the full understand why, as the storyline is too elaborate and complicated for me to explain. Let's just say that it shows that Mac IS able of acting like a child after all...

Other than that, they do get along great, which I really enjoy.

Medikor 09-06-2006 06:00 AM

That was just an insttance of Mac being at the wrong place at the wrong time more than anything. Frankie's temper was already at the end of it's fuse, and a bunch of crazy stuff was happening. I'm sure that if they all put there sides of the story together, then the house would have a collective laugh.8D

Voxxyn 09-06-2006 02:57 PM

I admit I was a little hasty in writing that part, so please forgive me. When I wrote "naughty", I was actually referring to the blatant way he teases Frankie upon discovering him jumping on her bed(something like "NAH-NAH, YOU CAN'T STOP ME!")--but in retrospect, it's actually a part of his child-like behavior. Needless to say, I laughed when it unceremoniously cut to Mac standing glumly outside the entrance with Frankie throwing the backpack at him.

And I agree with everything else. Though she got quite mad at him there, it was really a misunderstanding caused by everybody else's antics.

Medikor 09-06-2006 03:55 PM

I just watched that episode again today (Teletoon has put Foster's back on the 7:00PM wekkday timeslot. Huzzah!:D) and I have to say that that episode (Crime after Crime) has to be one of the most well written episodes of any show I've seen! It was one of the first episodes I seen, and I can't wait to see more then the half-dozen (Teletoon is awful at airing a wide variety of episodes) I've seen.
I just like to think that Frankie would have thrown anyone out of the house if she found them jumping on that bed at that instance.8D And I love how she would throw that bowl of "It" into the trash. Flash animation is a great thing.:D

Voxxyn 09-06-2006 08:14 PM

I must agree that "Crime After Crime" had some brilliant writing, especially how they handled "It". Presumably, it looked like it was just going to be one bowl shared by all the friends, but thanks to the chain of events set off by Mr. Herriman's carrot addiction and Bloo's resulting overreaction, the poor little blob ends up having to eat the entire thing multiple times. It's also bitingly ironic that the punishment is a meal worthy of Bloo's mighty appetite, maybe a response to how that very appetite caused bad luck to the other characters in "CKAGMD" and "Imposter's".

And I LOVE it when Frankie changes expressions in a snap. In this episode, she becomes deeply worried as Madame Foster samples the last "It" dish, affectionately relieved when grandma gives it the thumbs up, and then vengefully glee as she prepares to give the dishes to Bloo. It was even better in "Setting A President", when she goes from genuinely concered as she finished the intercom speech, to beaming triumpantly in her personal pride, to a frustrated scowl when the smear attack sneaks in one final blow--all in just seconds! It's done so quickly, and yet it's still very natural and seamless. Frankie is so expressive, and I adore that.

Medikor 09-07-2006 05:15 AM

Yes, I love Frankie's expressions! There funny but realistic at the same time.:D

I wondered about that subject myself. I have some questions:

What happened to Frankie's parents?
Does she have any siblings?
Does she have any aunts,uncles, or cousins?
Did she ever have her own imaginary friend at one point in her life?
Is she hiding any memories that were sad,unpleasant, or traumatic?


Was this already been discussed?

It was discussed on the old forum, but that doesn't mean it can't be discussed again here. Those are all good questions; alas, they are questions that have no answers as yet, although there are plenty of theories, some good, some bad.

Medikor 09-09-2006 09:48 AM

I saw the episode "cookie dough" today, and Frankie just cracked me up! She was definatly the funniest character in theat episode.8D

Mr. Marshmallow 09-09-2006 01:48 PM

I should ask the Comic con panel about her cookie obsession as well 8D it's such an odd idea, having Frankie just go totally nuts for Foster's cookies. You don't feel sad for her when she overstuffs herself because its just too funny.

She goes beyond wacko when they come out, and her expressions are just priceless. But actually Frankie "technically" did make imaginary friends when she created those scribbles she was "sowwy" for that they locked up in the walls.

There not ideal imaginary friends but they are living creatures thought up by someone's imagination, that's close enough.

Medikor 09-09-2006 02:15 PM

You can't blame Frankie for loveing her Gramma's cookies. I'm the same way with MY Gramma! And we all know that Gramma's make the BEST cookie's in the world.8D

Mr. Marshmallow 09-09-2006 03:04 PM

Frankie is CUCKOO for cookies, like mentally unstable "I'm Napolenon" crazy.

That's the big difference ;D and a funny difference at that.

Medikor 09-09-2006 04:22 PM

The coockie's must be REALLY good too.:D

Voxxyn 09-09-2006 04:37 PM

The thing I just ADORE TO ABSOLUTELY NO END about Frankie's cookie addiction is that it shows, no matter how mature she is compared to the other characters, she still has a very goofy and vulnerable side. Frankly, I find that very attractive.

I want a Goof Goof McGoof plushie, so I can hug it everytime CN airs "Imposter's Home"... :P

Thornwhistle 09-09-2006 07:46 PM

Mr. Marshmallow; Frankie didn't create those scribbles. In the Trouble with Scribbles episode,Frankie and Mr. Herriman said that they are imaginary friends created by human babies.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see.

I agree with Voxxyn also on the fact that as mature as Frankie is, she still pertains that bit of wackyness that everyone in the Foster's "family" seems to have.

Other good examples is Mac in "Squeeze the day", Eduardo's obssesion with the mattress in "Bus the two of us", and Herriman's drug like issue with carrots. This all good stuff and I think it's funny Frankie has such a bizarre quirk like that.

I also said before I'm happy Frankie is being used more but I think the writers are finally showing how caring and mommy like Frankie is. Like how she cared for Coco when she thought she was sick, or trying to get Cheese to sing with the games.

True, Cheese can work any sane person's nerves and with Frankie's short fuse it's no wonder she snapped. But it shows she's a caring person and that she at least tries her hardest to help out others, even at her own embarassment.

Like at the end of "The Big cheese". I also thought this was kind of touching as sappy as it sounds, I thought it was very cute when Frankie saw Mac was sick in "Bloooo" and took him home and told him to get inside and get warm.

I know alot of people would say anyone would do that, but it just felt much more compassionate and sweet coming from Frankie.

Medikor 09-10-2006 06:10 AM

Yes, Frankie is very careing and compassinet, and a good singer too.;) It just warmed my heart over when she was singing those nercery rhimes to Cheese. And her cookie addiction shows that, for as mature and responsable as she is, she hasen't lost touch with her childhood.:D

billytheskink 09-10-2006 03:16 PM

Understandable that she'd be a good singer.

Grey DeLisle's released a few albums, and from what I've heard of them, she's not bad.

Medikor 09-10-2006 05:41 PM

I think Frankie's voice play's a part too. I love her voice, but I have no clue why. It's just perfect to me. But, yeah. Grey Delisle is supposed to be a pretty good singer. (not my kind of music from what I think I heard) But that is part of the reason I love learning about voice actors. I find them more interesting then "real" celebritie's. And the Foster's crew seem like they would be real fun to be around.:D

Cassini90125 09-10-2006 05:45 PM

Yeah, she's very good. Ms. Delisle has the perfect voice for Frankie. She did a marvelous job as the voice of Daphne on Scooby-Doo, too. :)

Medikor 09-10-2006 06:16 PM

Did she take classes for acting, or did she just audition cause she was told that she's good act makeing voices? Either way, she's very good at what she does.
