'''Bubby''' is the fun and energetic maternal grandmother of [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] and [[Catherine Frensky|Catherine]], and the mother of [[Laverne Frensky|Laverne]], and also the mother-in-law of [[Oliver Frensky|Oliver]].


She first appeared briefly in ''[[Arthur's Perfect Christmas]]'', but became recognized larger in ''Is That Kosher?''. She went to [[Westboro Apartments#Frenskys' Apartment|Francine's family's apartment]] to celebrate Yom Kippur in "[[Is That Kosher?]]".
'Bubbie' is a Yiddish term of endearment which is interchangeable with 'grandmother', the original Yiddish being ''bubeleh''. Bubbie's last name is unknown because she is on [[Laverne Frensky|Laverne]]'s side of the family. She practices the Jewish religion, like Francine's family. She went to [[Westboro Apartments#Frenskys' Apartment|Francine's family's apartment]] to celebrate Yom Kippur in "[[Is That Kosher?]]".


In "[[The Great MacGrady]]," it was revealed that her husband died of cancer. She is one of two guest stars that have returned with speaking roles, with Lance Armstrong being the only other guest star.

She possibly has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, because in "[[Grandpa Dave's Memory Album]]" she thoroughly cleans Francine's apartment, and she even cleans Arthur's dishes after she eats over at his house with Francine.

Laverne and Bubby have a good relationship, as they are mother and daughter. Bubby at times picks on her daughter (along with her [[Oliver Frensky|son-in-law]]), saying that she hardly feeds [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] and Catherine, as well as when she says that their apartment is not clean.

Francine and Bubby get along well too, and Francine seems to be the person with the most interaction with Bubby. The two do many things together.

Not much interaction is seen between Oliver and Bubby, but it can be (deeply) assumed that she loves him a lot.

====[[Catherine Frensky]]====
When Bubby arrived for Yom Kippur, she energetically embraced both Francine and Catherine and called then her "favorite grandchildren". She then told Catherine that, although she was turning into "such a beauty" that, "...blue really isn't your color, darling..."

"{{W|Bubbe}}" is a word originating from Yiddish which means "grandmother." Since there is more than one way to spell the word in English, official PBS sources have variously used Bubby<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ckQNk7zUwM</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/PBSArthur/posts/252383981527803</ref> Bubbe,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzTyzCLf_k</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/PBSArthur/photos/a.501573345202.387485.43562115202/10154553528215203/?type=1</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/PBSArthur/photos/a.501573345202.387485.43562115202/10156048295330203/?type=1&permPage=1</ref> and Bubba.<ref>http://www.klru.org/schedule/episode/190944</ref><ref>http://www.ket.org/tvschedules/episode.php?nola=ARUR++001201</ref> On this wiki, "Bubby" is preferred because it is the spelling used in actual dialogue in "[[Is That Kosher?]]"<ref>http://tv.ark.com/transcript/arthur-%28is_that_kosher%3b_never_never_never%29/1020/KTEH/Monday_January_11_2010/163049/</ref> In "[[Francine's Tough Day]]," Francine refers to Bubby as "my bubbe."
