Well I'd say the show almost (if not did) JUMP THE SHARK with this episode:frankiemad:

It was one bad episode, and we've had plenty of fantastic ones since then, so I don't know where you got that from...

(spits in bucket making nice pinging noise)

You'd better watch yourself with that kind of talk...

Last folks that mentioned that shark round here didn't get too far

No sirreee.

Hey hey hey, must we always dwell on the show's faults? Can't we just let go and forget the past? Instead of singing about how much we hate Goofball, can't we focus that energy into singing songs of praise for Frankie?

Imposter's was definitely not a top-notch episode, and it really did hurt to see Frankie suffer from Goofball's actions, but I don't think Frankie let that one horrible day make the rest of her life miserable. She isn't gnashing her teeth in agony, sulking in depression, or throwing darts at a poster featuring Goofball. I honestly believe she forgave him.

That little lady from Incredibles--Edna Mode, I think her name was--said something along the lines of, "Never look back. It distracts from the now."

Sure I'LL forget of Impussturds when they make a new episode with frankie in it (but not being"background character who cleans everything and drives bus")

By the way I'm VERY sorry about my "shark" comment,I'll never bring it up again NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!!!!

The only thing I like about Goofball is the person who voiced him, Tom Kenny.

We all like Tom Kenney he does Eduardo!:-/

Even the best shows have some bad apples, and many considered Imposter's one of them. The show is not even close to "jumping the shark" (ooh, I hate that term). Anyway, yeah, it's fine to be critical of Goofball or not have any feelings for the guy and to be sympathetic towards Miss Frances., I don't think she'll lose sleep over it. :P It's not worth dwelling over it for so long. It ain't healthy.

Tom Kenny gets an A+, even though he was stuck doing a character for one episode that doesn't get a lot of respect.

By golly, you're right! I didn't even know Tom Kenny did his voice! I've said before that I liked his voice and I stick by that opinion. Also his tie.

I'm with this 110%. "Setting A President" is not enough. Frankie deserves something truly glorious and wonderful, something on the same scale that GWH was for Wilt. Until that happens, I won't be able to rest easily or accept the existence of this hurtful disgrace.

I'm happy you agree with me Voxxyn. Frankie DOES deserve to have another great episode(but since this is the goofbarf/turd/tard/whatever thread I'll discuss this more in the"Frankie" thread.


btw the place where I heard the show was going downhill was TV.com:P

The show did recover admirably from this and "Europe". And hopefully, there will never ever be another "Imposter's".

That's the spirit! I'm sure I don't have to remind everyone not to hold a grudge against anyone who worked on this episode, because if they hadn't made Frankie such a sympathetic character y'all wouldn't be so resentful of this episode in the first place. Right? Am I right? I think it just shows how awesome all these characters are.

heeheehee
 

Say I had created a silly poem about gooftard a while back, so here's part 2!


oh goofball oh goofball your brain is really small

in fact it is smaller than even a golf ball

oh goofball oh goofball oh goofball oh goofball

I wish that a pitbull would give you a big maul!


3rd part coming soon!:frankiesmile:

No it didn't 1 horrid episode followed by the rest of the 2 seasons being good, dosen't qualify as jumping the shark.

Sorry, but that's just taking Frankie fan waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to extremely not even Vox or Cass think that.

When I said that the episode "nearly ruined the show", I don't mean technical quality(because it was a success in what it actually did :( ), but how the show's magic gets tainted sometimes by the crew's baffling need to be meanspirited. I still think Lauren got it completely wrong--'conflict' does NOT equal unwarranted cruelty towards sympathetic characters.

The only way I'll truly let go my resentment towards this episode is if Frankie gets her own GWH-like masterpiece. After being forced to endure the horror of IHFUMEUP, she and her fans deserve it.

She deserves it whether or not IHFUMEUP had ever been made. :frankiesmile:

Amen to that:-*

Now I understand what you mean.I'm terribly sorry about my earlier comment,REALLY! I agree Frankie should have another great episode,but I have a nasty feeling that it's not gonna happen:(

I agree to that. Frankie should really great another great episode, yet I hope it's not gonna be like "IHFMEUP".

I edited my last post, so anyone who has quoted my quote, can unquote it now.

now it makes sense
 

ok;) Now I get it.

Just wanted to mention something.

DOWN WITH GOOFBALL. WE NEED A FRANKIE EPISODE.

Lol. Look at this. Wilt got a whole pro-Wilt movie, so why can't Frankie get an episode? :)
By the way, we need a Goofball smiley. (a frowing one with a blue eye.)

I think we all agree that Frankie deserves something special(she always has, don't get me wrong, but I think the writers owe it to her after this malicious disgrace). I'm willing to wait extra months for Season 5(since I doubt it'll premiere in February after all) if it means it'll give us lots and lots of positive Frankie moments.

A "punching Goofball" smilie would be good, kinda like this one(from the IGN/Jedi Council forums): http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/56.gif

I dying for a Frankie episode the next season of Foster's. The only Frankie episode I like is "Frankie My Dear".

You don't like "Setting A President"? :(

"Setting A President" is okay.

This thread keeps straying to be Frankie Centric instead of about Goofball,

Asking for Frankie episodes I would think is more appropiate for the Frankie thread. am I wrong in thining that?


well Anyway, too bad Goofball is Canadian, I was hoping he would run for President.

UP WITH GOOFBALL,


on a side note: I hope none of you Frankie Fans are missing "Frankie My Dear" is is airing now. I like the part were she gets rid of Dylan.

Monty :-/

Goofball for president? I'd rather see Vader:

:P

He can run for Prime Minister.

I think he's got as good a chance as anyone, considering he is about as mentally mature as most of the politicians in power in my country.

Personally I wouldn't vote for him, unless he promises another lowering of the Goods and Services Tax, that would be nice....:bloocross:

I'd have to agree with that, but it's not a really big deal.

There is a political party for Goofball supporters. It's called the "Witness Protection Program". :bendy:

I'll talk all I want about Frankie on this thread. All Goofball and the episode did was hurt her and mistreat her repeatedly. :( :'(

indeed. makes no sense.


eh, id have to vote against him, see avatar. but he would get my vote as prime minister. but then again i dont live in canada, so i cant really vote for him.. eh, you get the point. and why exactly is everyone against goofball anyway? sure, he may have done some annoying, mean, cruel, whatever you want to call it, things to frankie. but seriously, it was ONE EPISODE. and besides, everybody needs somebody to annoy them to death. thats how life works.

It wasn't just "one episode", it was a nightmare and a disgrace. It wasn't merely annoying, it was cruel and meanspirited. It left me with a very negative impression that continues inside me to this day. I will NOT be quiet about seeing Frankie be so horribly mistreated and abused.

The fact that it was just "one episode" makes no difference. Frankie is someone I care deeply about, and I do not like seeing the people who mean something to me suffer. I will not cavalierly dismiss what happened to her. Goofball hurt her, and that hurt me. Do you like seeing the people you care about in pain? Think about that.

Wrong. Being annoyed is something we can all do quite nicely without, thank you. It isn't fun, it distracts one from getting things done, and it makes life less pleasant. And deliberately going out of one's way to be annoying is not an endearing trait, nor is it cute in any way. It's childish, mean-spirited, and rude.

I agree with you 90% of the way Cass, I do believe that Goofball's actions be it a one shot or a thousand times, it's still a tragedy what Goofball put Frankie through and the fact his episode actually DEFINES suffering in such a way shows he truly was an ass that deserves every bit of slander towards him.

However, the other 10% of me does agree on one thing some guy said: I do believe we need people that annoy us (thought not the death part). I think characters do need episodes where they are put through crazy crap that annoys them to high hell, like I said before with the whole "Rita and Runt" torture episode.

I think it is a necessity but more as a TV show thing and not as real life thing. But, just so were clear, just because I believe in such a statement that does not mean I condone or accept the horrible methods Goofball enacted on Frankie. Annoyance is one thing, but his went beyond the call of duty.

I honestly believe that had this been done differently in regards to the particular torture Goofball put Frankie through, the episode would not be as unwatchable as it is now and it would have been in some small way, more acceptable then inexcusable. But as we all know that isn't the case.

Goofball put Frankie through a meat grinder rather then a mere "hard day" and whether his character was a great gimmick, Frankie didn't need to be repeatively run over by this character idea to the point of total agony.

The latter part of my statement was in fact referring more to real-life pests than what's on TV. Irritating characters can make for better storylines (up to a point, anyway), but they add nothing to real-world happiness.

Frankie already has Bloo, Mr. Herriman, Duchess and Cheese to annoy her. She puts up with more than all of the other characters, arguably combined. Goofball was not only unnecessary, but completely uncalled for. :(

Well Bloo, Cheese, and occasionally Duchess are everyone's problems. Cheese is too stupid to honestly know what the hell he's doing, saying, or directing it to. Bloo is Bloo and he basically does this to everyone inside and outside of Foster's.

Herriman and Goofball are both more Frankie directed and I agree that Goofball's level of mean spirited careless actions couldn't have been meaner if he honestly tried. He did everything short of yanking out her heart and using it as a door stop.

I always found it particularly insulting that he couldn't even take the time to get her name right. How self-involved and uncaring is that? And people wonder why we hate him?
