I personally think Nancy should dump Ned, but that might be kind of weird because they've been together forever...
Happy Voting!
Yes!!! Kick Nerd, I mean Ned to the curb! Dump him like yesterdays trash, Nancy!! :D ;)
Yes! Completely. Although I like Nancy/Ned in a couple of the series.
TEAM FANCY! Let's call them Fancy! :D JK.

LOL!
What tabloid show do
you work for?
I like F. & C. and N. & N. together as they are!
YES!
I like Nancy/Ned at first, but after I read sm I wanted Nancy to go out with Frank.They're perfect each other
One question, what does Frank do with Callie?
Never mind the question, I now realize your talking about the new SuperMystery series. Sorry.

Not yet but I have Hope. ::)

Hate to shatter your hopes Robin, but there is never any change or progress in the UB series!

First of all, I'm talking about the ongoing plot/continuity, not the form the series is released in.
Second, they are hardly trilogy's! But I've already ranted about that in the Spoiler Board...::)
For all you Frank/Nancy fans out there...

You're not alone!!
Well, Frank isn't even dating Callie! ;D
On fanfiction.net they have a story thats called 10 ways to tell if you're a Nancy/Frank fan.
Over half applyed to me. :o :D
I love Nancy/Frank, they seem perfect for each other.
I even made a avatar pic of them.
They are perfect for each other! :)
Ditto.
I don't know why I put 'seem'.
I lost my head for a moment. :D
I think they should have been a couple in the old ones, too! They should just start a series with Nancy and Bess and George doing and exchange program for their school in Bayport and then they all decide to move there and eventually Nancy forgets about Ned and dates Frank. :D
Poor Ned! :'( ;)

They already mentioned that Nancy was an exchange student at Bayport High in
Double Crossing.
Well, I meant permanently because she decides she likes Bayport better then moves there. :)
Well, they've already married of Frank and Nancy in Secrets of The Nile.
Yeah, but that was only temporary and for a case!
Okay... which series are we talking about now?
I just said they should have been together for the old ones, but I think we're talking about the new ones. :-\ ??? :)
So what would you do with Callie? How about her and Cheat? ;D
Double Crossing was book #1 in the Supermystery'88 series, while Secrets of the Nile was #25 in the same series.

I mentioned in another thread that Callie could hook up with Ned. Leftovers meet Leftovers ;) :D

peace&love, I think these are hilarious (from what you mentioned on fanfiction.net):
3. When playing a Nancy Drew computer game, you avoid calling Ned at all costs, but call Frank and Joe even when you don?t need help.
2. When you found out that Frank and Joe Hardy were actual characters in the games Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon and/or The Creature of Kapu Cave, you shrieked for ten minutes straight?much to the annoyance of your mother, who quickly left the room.
And, the number one way to tell that you are a fan of Nancy/Frank pairings:
1. You call a matchmaker to find out the best ways to get Nancy and Frank together, but conveniently forget to mention that they are fictional characters.

Lol, I know.And actually #3 I do.All the time. :D
Me too, especialy #3. :D
If there was a music mix for each character, this is how it would go. I'm just going based on titles of songs, not necessarily the song itself. I'm including Callie because I'm doing this on a general Hardy universe basis. And it's for fun so no one take it personally, please.
Nancy to Ned:
-Anyone But You
-Who Am I Fooling
-How Strong Do You Think I Am
Frank to Callie:
-Over-Rated
-Natural Disaster
-Waste My Time
Nancy & Frank:
-There's Us
-Just the Beginning
-Worth Waiting For
I like the Nancy to Ned "Anyone but you" :D
Even If they get togather, in tipical UB fashion, the relationship will slowly dissapear into obivoin, like all good thing in the UBs.
Bigfootman, you probably just hate UBs becuase you're way out of the age range, so stop ruining the UBs for those who can still enjoy them! >:(
Oh, I'm sooo sorry for telling the truth! (sarcasim) Oh and guess what? I am in the age range, it just that I have an actual taste in books! Oh and I don't need to ruin the series, S&S has already done that! For crying out loud they removed almost all of the Hardy's freinds!
Just because you don't like them doesn't mean you have to totally trash them! ::)
Funny thing is I've never seen any bookstore or book list list books from the Undercover Brothers series as Classics, whereas I've seen quite a few lists where the Hardy Boys (Grosset & Dunlap) has over 20 books listed as Classics.
because they're relatively new books.

Also, the
Nancy Drew Girl Detective books when they were first released managed to make it into the 120's on the Top 200 New York Times Children's books list.
The Hardy Boys Undercover Brothers have never been able to do that. So most English teachers and Professors would call the
Nancy Drew Girl Detective series a recent children's Classic. The
Undercover Brothers series is not able to get that classification.

I can explain that, Nancy Drew focused more on Nancy's socal life then the UBs focus and Frank and Joe's socal life, making Nancy Drew Girl Detective more intresting, also would you rather read a book where the characters had no almost socal life at all (UB), or one where they did (ND)?
Look at this list of classics notace how the bluespines are listed but not the UBs:
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_7399792_7?ie=UTF8&docId=1000270251&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=0K5A2YJ0ZW6APH4XT3SF&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=434598201&pf_rd_i=402115011
Now look at the list of best selling HB books. of the UBs only the GNs appear on the first few pages, in fact I have no idea where the UBs are on the the list, I went until page 8 and altough I did see a ton of casefiles, no UBs beside GNs:
http://www.amazon.ca/hardy-boys-Books/s/qid=1221436769/ref=sr_pg_1?ie=UTF8&rs=927726&keywords=Hardy%20Boys&rh=n%3A927726%2Ck%3AHardy%20Boys&page=1
Maybe the UB fans don't order their UB books on Amazon.
http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/search?keywords=The%20Hardy%20Boys&pageSize=10&sort=Sales&sortDirection=true&page=0
Here's a sight that's more fair since Chapters-Indigo has Kiosk's in their Chapters, Indigo, Coles, Smithbooks and Book Company stores that allow people to order off their website while in the store and pay at the cash register.
And its nearly the same as Amazon, although Haunted is at #7, but that is probably because it was just released. Although, I must say that Feeding Frenzy is still doing well, since it is at #11, followed by Blown Away at #23, Extreme Danger at #25 followed by Danger Overseas at #26, Martial Law at #29.
#31 Top Ten Ways To Die
#39 Trouble In Paradise
#49 Terror On Tour
#81 Murder House #3 Murder House
#96 Double Danger #1 Double Trouble
#179 Haley Danelle's Top Eight (newest Graphic Novel-paperback edition)
#189 Murder House #2 House Arrest
#251 Murder At The Mall
#260 Hazed
#261 Comic Con Artist
#272 Foul Play (UB not Casefile)
#278 Death and Diamonds
Same list
#302 Bayport Buccaneers
#306 Pushed
I also did a search for the Bestseller between the Casefiles Foul Play and the Undercover Brothers Foul Play (I just used advanced search, typed in Title: Foul Play, Author: Franklin W. Dixon, and then chose Besteller in the scroll down list).
The results were:
1. Foul Play (Casefiles)
2. Foul Play (Undercover Brothers)
Oh yeah, I've seen a ton of people reading Casefiles at my school, but no UBs.

Second books in "Trilogies" don't sell well for some reason.
Also note that on that site GNs are doing way better than regular UB's
