What would we do without Francis Foster? For the most part, she's definitely a sweet 22-year-old woman. But when you push the wrong buttons, look out!!

I do believe that Frankie does not get the appreciation she deserves. She definitely needs to show that darn rabbit (Mr. Herriman) who's boss.

I still think the episode 'Frankie my dear' is one of her best. lol and it also brought us Orlando Bloo

I second that statement, as I said before on the old forums, I was laughing so hard during the last act of that episode, I thought my chest was going to cave in.

And as I also said before, it's quite refreshing to see a fully fleshed out female character on a cartoon show, one who isn't totally vapid, shop crazy, boy crazy or doesn't come across like a total "know it all" most of the time.

Or exists solely to fill the "token female character"/"voice of reason" role. That happens all too often...

SkittleMonkey · 08-17-2006, 09:09 AM

Well, sometimes she's the voice of reason, but alot less than other female characters on different shows, which is good.

I think we're just saying that because we're aware of everything she does to keep the house running, day in and day out. That, and we love her. :3 But housework and chores almost always go unappreciated. Think about maids, nannies, hotel housekeepers, cafeteria workers, housewives. In reality, all those occupations are hardly considered "real" jobs and they never receive any praise. I admit that I never give special attention to when my mother sweeps, cooks, and loads the laundry. They're just little things that seem so insignificant because they're all mundane tasks that don't require special skills or a college education, even if they DO take a lot out of you by the end of the day. Thanking Frankie for doing her job would be kind of like us going up to the cafeteria lady and thanking her for cooking. It's not that we don't appreciate it, but I think it's mostly that we've just come to expect it.
I'm thinking Frankie isn't tending to more than a thousand IFs because it's a job, but because deep down she must REALLY love being there, nervous breakdowns and all.

Looks like I'm late to the conversation... Oh well.

I can't say much about Frankie that hasn't already been said; she's the most entertaining character on the show. She also owns the award for the show's best quote (guess which one).

Frankie is a fantastic match of great voice talent (Grey Delisle rarely misses) and excellent animation (particularly with her facial expressions).

Now, something to debate...
Her driver's license lists her at 5 feet 8 inches tall. Her Coco Card lists her at 5 feet 10 inches. Either way, she's fairly tall for a woman, and her neck is awfully long.

I adore adore Frankie, hence my username.

Just some thumbnails I laboriously sliced together this morning:

Not that I'm obsessed with Frankie or anything, 'cause I'm not. No, really, I'm not. Seriously. Excuse me, I have a doctor's appointment now.
