Goofball John Magee - Page 2 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Now, I'm no fan of him. He was quite obnoxious and the writers left a hole in his backstory that was almost as annoying as he was (why would an imaginary friend who is a football mascot have homework?).

However, his conversation with Frankie about phones in Canada was hilarious.

Are you kidding?! Come to think of it, I totally hate Goofball! He was nothing but a total jerk! He should die and go to H-E-double hockey sticks!

It's his fault that Frankie didn't go to the concert! Besides, remember when he smirked at Frankie after Mr. Herriman said she couldn't go to the concert? I bet he just wanted Frankie to go to the extremes just so she could miss her concert!

*Bleep* Goofball! *Bleep* Goofball to *bleep*!

(long pause with others staring at me in shock. I then chuckle nervously with a nervous toothy grin.) He he. Sorry.

Yes, Goofball was definitely the north end of a southbound donkey!

Frankie missing the concert is due both to Goofball and to Frankie; Goofball because of his actions, Frankie because of her responsibility she took up on her self when she agreed to take the job of keeping up the house. While we can feel sympathetic for Frankie, she was basically bound to clean the messes up due to the fact that that's her job. She didn't deserve what happened to her, but that's life.

Also, I doubt Goofball had the foresight or intelligence to plan out Frankie missing the concert, especially since there's no evidence (that I can recall) of him having ever had the chance to know Frankie was going to a concert before the part where Herriman told her she couldn't go. I think his smirk was more just him being a smug jerk and thinking the current situation was funny.

Frankie already works very hard to keep the house in order and almost never gets appreciated. She worked EXTRA HARD just to make sure that the house wouldn't collapse from Goofball's carelessness... only to miss the concert so that she could do even more work.

There are tough days and there are bad days. And then there's the viciously rotten and callous experience that the day with Goofball was. IMO, absolutely no one outside of murderers deserve to go through that kind of experience. To see someone like Frankie go through that was just upsetting to no end.

It's not fair or acceptable at all. It shouldn't be. Goofball should NOT be let off the hook just because he was a legitimate IF.

It's good that you don't let the episode upset you as much as it does others. But I hope you realize that you will NEVER be able to change my mind on this.

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.
