Not all us Canuks say "Eh" at the end of every sentance you know.;) 8D

Riiiight...and I suppose next you'll want us to believe that you don't all sit around in flannel shirts all day eating back bacon and maple syrup... :)

As much as the twisted side to me would love to see Goofball in extreme pain, that's not what I really want.

I hope Sparky is right when she says that a happy ending is waiting down the line for Frankie. I wish there was a way of knowing if Craig, Lauren and everybody else have realized just how negative and viciously cruel IHFUMEUP truly was, because I'm still not completely convinced. I'm still aching for a Frankie episode that will celebrate her character and use her to her fullest potential instead of burying and abusing her. "Setting A President" is a step in the right direction, but it's not enough.

Don't worry, Vox. Craig and Lauren visit this sit to give us a heads-up once in a while. So I'm sure that they take the time to read what we have to say amongst ourselves. I'm sure that a great Frankie episode is on the horizon!:D

It seems like this thread is Basically a "I Love Frankie and Hate this episode"

I Liked this episode, I think Goofball was funny.

I would agree that lfe was misserable on frankie, However I think that was the neccisary in for the story. It was not ment to be a Bash on Frankie, but ment to be a fun.

I Thought it was a great Cat and Mouse game. Frankie thinking that Goofball was fake and unable to get anyone to believe her. I actually believed that goofball was not imaginary until the end when she took off his nose.

I thought it was funny that MAC was the only one who reconized Frankie when she wore the Red Nose.

I do not want to sound raceist or anything, but I think GoofBall is a good Canadian personallity. I do not live in Canada, but I can see Toronto on a clear day. I think goofballs character matches SCTV humor better than Saterday Night Live or Flying Circus. I know this is a week argument, but maybe some Canadians can give their view of If they feel Goofball makes a decent Canadian. (or What they feel goofball represents)

I still fail to see the "fun" in what happened to Frankie. There's a line between goofy, slapsticky fun and inexcusable maliciousness, and what Goofball did crossed it by about a million miles.

Nor was it necessary at all. They could've EASILY done this episode without being so cruel to Frankie. It was a golden premise that could've been used far more wisely than just to attack a character with a large fanbase.

That's your opinion, though. Just because you saw it as evil and wrong and malicious doesn't mean it was. If I'm "completely trivializing" what happened, you're blowing it way out of proportion. Some people found it funny, some people didn't, there are always a few bombs in a series, but I don't understand how it was an "attack" on Frankie.

Watch the episode again and tell me if you see ANY positive outcome for ANY situation Frankie entered in that episode.

Also Frankie wasn't attacked, she was freaking Pearl Harbored in that episode.

There are completely different kinds of "bombs". Any given television series will have episodes that aren't up to par with it's usual standards of quality, that's inevitable. And then there are episodes that are disliked not because of any gap in technical quality, but because they do things that seem to only be there to deliberately shock and anger fans.

The problem with IHFUMEUP wasn't that it was 'not as funny' as usual--it's that it was INDEED evil, wrong and malicious.

Your stating your opinion as though it was a Universal Truth.

I enjoyed watching this episode. I thought goofball was fun.
I do not think I am Evil or malicious for liking it but if what you said is a universal truth I must be at least Wrong.
I know frankie was treated unfair, However I am sure the writers were not intenially trying to offend Frankie Fans but were trying to create a fun story.

Also it is not the first time they treated a lead character in that manner. look at how BLoo was treated in the Benndy episode. same type of situation, but directed to bloo, and bendy was definitly a Bad Egg, While GoofBall was just Misunderstood because he was from a different country.
