That's basically what his role is, at least the way I see it; he's the one who enforces all these rules and tries to keep the house as civilised as possible. What's funny (again, in my opinion) is how over-the-top he is about it.

That's another one all the people who complain about him need to remember; his character does add something to the show, and it probably wouldn't be the same without him.

Well they showed what would happen to the house if he was less strict in
Let Your Hare Down
but your right there isn't anything interesting in a story without an antagonist

I really need to watch "Let your hare down". Sadly, my local TV station only seems to have Season 1 and 2.

Major_Abbey, Sparky has generously provided the link to watch and download that episode in the 'Downloads' section here :)

You can stream it, but downloading is usually better quality for me. 'Let Your Hare Down' is the last episod of Season 5 on that list :bloogrin:

Thanks. :)

To be honest, I'm really neutral with him, but I hated him in Impostor's and Destination Imagination. And I kinda wish it was him who was getting fired instead of the replacements.

"Imposters" was quite possibly the only episode where Herriman annoyed me, and that is saying a lot. I will stand by my "he's only harsh because that's the way he was created and it helps to keep the house going" belief, but he really was annoying in that episode.

I don't think he should be fired, though; he is very over the top with his rules, but he's presumably good at his job and he clearly loves it.

I think Craig and the writers wanted you to hate him, just to emphasize the raw deal Frankie was getting, and the harsh conditions Herriman puts Frankie under.

Also for 'Imposter`s', Herriman was acting that way only for and because of Goofball, so it was just to stress the burden Goofball put on Frankie I think.

I actually liked him in Destination Imagination. He wasn't exactly nice at the beginning, but I was actually very impressed when he admitted to trusting Frankie's judgement. That couldn't have been easy for him to say.

I definitely give im credit for doing so. It takes a lot of character to admit it when you're wrong about something big like that. A lot of real people don't have the guts to do so.
