Line 31:
* [[Breakout Character]]: Mr. Groundhog in ''Franklin and Friends''. This character never appeared in the books and only showed up late in the original ''Franklin'' TV series, appearing in just a couple of episodes. The writers of ''Franklin and Friends'', however, seem to have taken a shine to him and have included him in many episodes, often in an at least somewhat central role.
* [[Call Back]]: Franklin's knight costume is seen in a treasure chest in ''Back to School With Franklin'' and that film also references Franklin's distaste for brussels sprouts from "Franklin's Blanket." The sixth season story "Sir Franklin's Squire" also heavily references ''Franklin and the Green Knight''.
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Franklin is a Canadian production, and Mr. Marmot invoked the trope in ''Franklin Plays It Safe''. To be specific, Mr. Marmot punctuates the end of every other sentence with an "Eh".
* [[Canon Dis Continuity]] - Beaver got a pet hamster in the third season of the original show, but in "Franklin in the Gecko Games," on ''Franklin and Friends'', it's said that one of the reasons she's excited about the idea of taking home the class gecko for the summer is that she doesn't have any pets of her own. Unless, of course, "doesn't have any pets" is just [[Never Say Die|code]] for Henry having died and the characters not wanting to talk about it directly, but ''Franklin'' has never been afraid to tackle to tough issues before.
* [[Character Title]], or [[Character Name and The Noun Phrase]] for ''Franklin and Friends''
Line 43:
* [[Dead Pet Sketch]]: The "pet goes missing" variant in ''Franklin and the Two Henrys''
* [[Diurnal Nocturnal Animal]]: Owl and Badger, though badgers can sometimes be diurnal in certain seasons. Averted, however, with Bat
* [[A Dog Named "Dog"]]: Nearly everyone but Franklin.
* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: Invoked by Beaver in ''Sir Franklin's Squire'' with ''The Obstacle Course Of Doom''!
* [[Dream Within a Dream]]: In "Franklin the Fearless," Franklin has a nightmare about trying to reprise a daring stunt he only managed before by accident in which he falls and falls. He seems to wake up before he hits the ground, then heads off to perform the trick. He chickens out, then wakes up to find out that was just a nightmare as well.
Line 69:
* [[Inevitable Waterfall]]: Franklin rescues Snail from going over the edge of one just in the nick of time following the "I Wonder" song in ''Franklin and the Green Knight''.
* [[Innocent Swearing]]: Used at one point, with the "swear word" [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|stupid]].
* [[Know
* [[Large Ham]]: In the TV version of "Franklin's Valentines," Beaver's Valentine box is plastered with massive photos of herself. Bear jokingly asks her which box is hers.
* [[Licensed Game|Licensed Games]]: Two [[Game Boy Advance]] games, one [[Nintendo DS]] game, and one [[Play Station 2]] game. All of them by The Game Factory.
Line 132:
* [[Totally Radical]]: "Coolio" in ''Franklin and Friends''. Most if not all of the kids use it, and even some of the adults. It seems to be an all-purpose replacement for "cool," at least one character even says "coolio-est."
* [[Treasure Map]]: In ''Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure'', Franklin's Aunt Lucy has one that's supposed to indicate the location of the time capsule that Franklin's Granny buried when she was a kid. Aunt Lucy has been searching for the treasure with no success for years-- it turns out it was dug up a long time ago and kept by a packrat who didn't realize its significance.
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting]]: Usually avoided, but done fairly successfully in ''Back to School With Franklin''. The A story involves Franklin's class and their substitute teacher Miss Koala, while the B story focuses on Franklin's sister Harriet developing a friendship with Beaver's little brother, Kit.
* [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]: In "Franklin the Coach," Beaver becomes the tyranical new coach after Franklin surrenders his substitute coaching role because he's considered to be too wishy-washy and offers the job to Beaver instead. She gets [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]], among other things telling Bear that he can't eat marshmallows because "You are what you eat and I won't have any marshmallows on my team!" The characters all decide [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]], but Franklin and Beaver eventually resolve the situation by agreeing to share coaching duties, balancing each other's personalities and skills.
* [[The Unfavourite]]: The subplot of ''Franklin and the Green Knight'' involves Franklin's fear of becoming this in the family, and Snail's fear that Franklin will become this to him.
* [[Vacation Episode]]: With a twist. Franklin and his family visit a pioneer village and Franklin is ''not'' pleased at first. The spry young turtle then finds that he ''likes'' pioneer life, while his parents struggle to keep up with the hard work routine. ''Franklin's Magic Christmas'' might also count, as the Turtle family goes on a trip to Franklin and Harriets' maternal grandparents' farm.
