Mrs. Franklin is one of Keesha's maternal grandmothers and caretakers, voiced by the late Eartha Kitt. She is Angela's mother and made her debut in a cameo in "In the Haunted House".

She attended Professor Frizzle's parent-teacher conference which included a field trip to an abandoned castle. During the visit which focused on bats, she was particularly excited to see bat babies - and noted she didn't know bats took care of their young. She added that she'd recognize the sound of "her Keesha's voice anywhere". During the trip, Keesha became slightly worried that the Frizz was trying to turn her grandmother into a bat ("Going Batty").

Later when Professor Frizzle's class was selected to create a statue of Captain Walker, Mrs. Franklin was among the parents that attended the ceremony and had a seat in the front row ("Rocks and Rolls").

Trivia

  • In Season 4 episode Sees Stars, it's revealed that Mrs. Franklin once bought a mop from the Home Mopping Network which ended up being defective. The incident led Keesha to become mistrustful of TV shopping networks.
