Goofball John Magee - Page 45 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

My point is that Frankie has had to put up with all of them, sometimes all at once(Cheese was an isolated but notable instance). Bloo's recklessness and Mr. Herriman's fixation with rules affect others, but Frankie almost always gets the brunt of it, because it's her job to clean up and look after Bloo and obey Mr. H's demands.

Goofball's behavior caused Frankie to suffer and no one else. No one else. She didn't have anyone to share her agony with, which makes it even more heartbreaking. Just horrible and uncalled for.

At least we feel for her. Some of us, anyway. That's the part that hurt most; seeing her suffer like that and not being able to do anything about it, feeling helpless to intervene.

I almost cried when I watched the episode. At least I feel better knowing I'm the only one upset by it.

Antother thing that disturbs me is how every other imaginary"friend" thought goofplop wasn't a human when he seriously looked like one!!!!!Plus goofblob's nose was pointed at the end until it was "revealed" it was a (rather crummy looking)trunk! This episode disturbs me,too

The reason for that was obvious, it was to further exploit the use of the episode's "so called gag". The same thing was used when Bloo barbarically tortured poor Mac to the brink of insanity with everyone at Foster's helping Bloo in "Surprise".

They believed Goofball was an IF because it helps the episode build it's point of singling out Frankie. They do it all the time in TV. Like in shows like Teen Titans where, if the episode focuses on say Cyborg, he will "convienetly" be the only one powerful enough to take down the villain of the episode.

It's an annoying cliche that can seriously bug you, even when your trying not to notice it. Unfortunately Foster's did it twice for Frankie and Mac, and they made it PAINFULLY obvious in both Mac and Frankie's torture episodes.

And Wilt, in "Where there is a Wilt there a way"
he spent the whole day just trying to watch the game,
He even developed a twitch twords the end of the episode.

I hate those types of cliche's,WHY DO WRITERS DOO THIS?!(that type of cliche,mind you)

That "cliche"(as you call it) was what gave me the impression of the episode being anti-Frankie.

Vox's last paragraph up there might be one of the most true things in this thread. HOW did no-one notice Frankie was annoyed by him and that HE gave Frankie chores so she missed the concert? The whole house was on his side? It's just not logical.
