    Frank is definitely the one that makes me laugh the most in this show :guffaw:. Not only his lines but the way he delivers them. It wouldn't be the same without Frank, at all! :thumbsup:

    Frank is great. He does get the best lines, I love all of those mentioned above. Its just a shame he doesn't get more screentime.

    It was Frank's character that got me watching this show. However it would be nice if there was at least one Frank centric episode perhaps one where he repays Delko for clearing him in Bait

    All of the moments/qoutes posted here are my favourites. The one where he starts acting like a putz after seeing that woman on Chip/Tuck was a funny moment for me.

    The Frank quotes are always classic, thanks for posting some! I'm glad to see an appreciation thread for this guy, he's one of the greatest characters. We really do need an episode that focuses more on him. And thanks for clearing up the issue with his uniform. I missed some episodes too and always wondered about that...lol!

    If I may say one more thing, I was annoyed that they didn't have Frank say goodbye to Alexx but they had Natalia and Ryan. He's probably known her longer than them right?

    Yeah, Frank's been around since the beginning of Miami.

    Natalia and Ryan showed up in season 3. I believe they weren't there for even a year when Alexx left?

    Frank came on at the end of season one, a little after Yelina first showed, and long after Megan was gone.
    Ryan came in at the start of season 3 a little after Speed died in that season's opener.
    Natalia came for the opener of season four, as a lab tech. She didn't change to CSI until the opener of season five.
    Alex left at the end of season 7, in the third to last episode.

    I really wish, Frank would get more time. I love him, and an really unset that they are giving Tripisms to Jesse. "Dumb and Dumber" is totally a Frank line! Why did they have to give it to Jesse who said it so badly?

    Alexx left at the end of season 6.
    I don't think Jesse said it so badly,it's just no one can say it quite like Frank.

    Oosp! You're right! Haha!
    Thanks!

    It is true that no one can say Frank's lines like Frank, but I think that Ryan or Eric could have said "Dumb and Dumber" so that it sounded funny, and not like they were reading a script.
    Jesse often sounds like he's reading a script, and it is every annoying.
