great show with good lessons to learn, 15 July 2000
Author: ktkb3 from long island

even though this show is childish and im only 15 i still enjoy the animation and the characters and some of them you see in the show only get some appearances inculding the characters skunk,bat,mole (actually he's related to mr. mole) and moose, and porkupine

i predict that the studio who does franklin might make a franklin movie titled "franklin the movie: bigger, longer, and uncut" o.k. so that's from south park but who cares its not like the title "urban legends: final cut" if they do make a movie they should put all the characters and the ones i mentioned in except otter im not crazy about that character she moved away

the show tell's great lessons for people to learn and they will help you with your problems

even though i am a teen i never forget this kind of animated heaven catch "franklin" on nick j.r. weekdays at 10:30 pretty soon they will have two episodes every weekday when the summer is over because it is replaced by reruns of doug

dont watch their new show "dora the expolrer" stick to "franklin" i hope they dont cancell it once the show premires i hope it dosent I HOPE! I HOPE! I HOPE!...
