I know this will be off-topic, I really do. But I need to say something.

Please tell me you're kidding. Too mean?
TOO MEAN?!?
That is just plain repulsive and wretched. I've always been leery of IMDb and the intelligence of it's community, but that is officially rock bottom for me. "All she does is yell"? "Especially Bloo"? Yes, because Bloo is such a poor, helpless, innocent charity case while Frankie is an evil monster that eats children
Does the topic creator actually pay attention to the show? Frankie is the caretaker and legal guardian. She does a little bit of EVERYTHING around the house, so that the friends don't have to, not even the ones who are so careless or rotten that they should be punished with trying to do it own their own(you know which ones). She only yells and gets mad because of the stressful and demanding nature of her job. She's not mad or cranky 100%. Saying that is just sick and wrong. I'm sorry that Frankie is only human and not a perfect Mary Sue angel. But the fact that she isn't a completely perfect angel is part of what makes her such a wonderful character to me.
"Stop them from having a good time"? Yeah, because Frankie has lots of free time for enjoyment while the friends have to do all the work... she sure succeeded in stopping the friends from going to the concert that SHE missed thanks to that repugnant disgrace of a character/episode idea.
Wrong again, SHE'S the one who's always denied having a good time. She's an authority figure and strict at times, but she is NOT "The Man" at all. In fact, she's a far bigger victim of "The Man" than all of the show's other characters combined.
I am not "attacking" whoever made that thread solely because he/she "doesn't worship Frankie"; I'm defending Frankie from the extreme ignorance and unfairness of that argument, just like PBL says she'll defend Wilt everytime they bash him for being "too nice". It's one thing to not like her type of personality/character, but I will not be quiet about seeing someone I love dearly be so blatantly disrespected.
