Frank Comes Through Heart Surgery Okay

As regular readers know, we have a rule about the personal lives of the cast and former cast: We don’t talk about personal stuff until THEY do. It was how we dealt with Josh’s cancer and it’s how we’ve dealt with this, which Frank recently posted on Twitter:

Update: I had quadruple bypass surgery and I just got out of the ICU with a good prognosis for recovery. So grateful to all who sent me such warm wishes. I love all of you.

Everybody at Satellite News wishes Frank the very best and is hoping for a quick recovery.

Thanks to @MST3KMotivation for the graphic.

    Great news! Both Frank and Josh were so cordial at the meet and greet a few years back for Cinematic Titanic. I took my sons (who had grew up watching MST) and both took the time to talk with them. Hope to see Frank on tour soon, and, Josh to continue his journey of self discovery.

    And be careful which buttons you push, Frank!

    Well wishes, along with many heartfelt “euyuk-e-ue”s (sp?), and especially prayers.

    Winona!

    But seriously, all the best wishes for a speedy and/or comfy recovery, Frank. We love you… maybe not as much as Pearl Forrester loves you, but that would be icky.

    Listen, I am one who doesn’t agree with most of his political positions, but I’ve always found him interesting and funny when reading his opinions. This is not the place for comments like the one above. I would recommend that it be deleted along with my comment quoting it. All the best and love and prayers to Frank!

    And yet he looks so damn good in a strapless, sequined evening dress. Who’d thought it?
    All our best wishes from my wife who adores you and my self who is only willing to admit a mild fondness. But in a a manly way of course.

    TV’s Frank would laugh at the irony of someone who thinks he’s “pure trash” calling him hateful and vile. And so would Dr. Forrester.

    The worst thing about DavidM’s terrible comment is the three people who liked it. At least he had the courage to sign his name to something so vile and hateful.

    Anyone who has ever met Frank knows he is beyond awesome.
    I was at a Portland show that got delayed for an hour due to technical difficulties and they took an hours worth of questions, and still stayed late afterwards to do the meet and greet.
    If you are offended that he makes fun of PUBLIC political figures then MST3K isn’t your thing to begin with.

    Perhaps the assumption that three other people created those likes is in error?

    I cannot think of a better time for Frank to create a sequel video:

    (We’ve been waiting so long, Frank.)
