issues i have with the children’s tv show franklin

cljavjr:

donrickles:

  • all of franklin’s friends have names like “bear” and “owl” but franklin’s name is franklin.
  • all of franklin’s friends parents have names like “mr. otter” and “mrs. otter.” does that mean that otter’s name is otter otter?
  • bear has a sister named beatrice bear which means that bears name is definitely bear bear.

consider: everyone in the show is actually referring to everyone else by last name as a sign of deference. bear is called bear but his sister is called by first name because bear is older and therfore requires more respect. the reason franklin is called by first name is because no one respects him

    Why would you do this to my poor baby turtle? I loved Franklin so much as a kid but never noticed this.
