On that, I gotta say something in regards to the episode "Bloooo". I get the impression that alot of people consider that episode to be anti-Frankie and that it gives her a "non funny" treatment that ends poorly like in "Make'em up pals". I think that's crap to be honest.

"Bloooo" doesn't treat Frankie any worse then the other characters were treated, why you ask, because this was designed as a "horror" episode. Frankie was played off as the typical teen girl being stalked by a killer, and I actually thought her running around scared thing really helped the episode.

It gave off a good Halloween vibe and it wasn't a direct bash at her in any way, same with "Cookie Dough". Her obsession with cookies was used as a sub-plot, just like her role in "Bloooo". It was just there to help the show move along, and not in any way try to negatively portray her character.

I mean come on, how can you not find a 22 year old girl going bannanas over cookies and porking on them like there's no tomorrow in a kid's TV show? I do agree though that "Make'em up Pals" was completely negative and was just one Frankie bash joke after the next. She was really thrashed in that one.

Btw, another thing I loved about "Bloooo", this line says it all:

Wilt: All right now it's REALLY sucking!

Nuff said.
