I really, really, REALLY hope that the writers remember to give Frankie some more episodes for Season 5. Right now, it looks as if "The Big Cheese" will be the closest Season 4 will get to such... and ironically, although it was funny and I even have a screencap of it as my current avatar, it's an episode that seems like it was only pressured into existence by network executives and advertisers who want to hype Cheese as hard as possible.
I say "ironically" because it brings me to something that I'm fearing more and more each day. With Foster's slowly getting more merchandising deals and mainstream attention, I have a horrible feeling that the writers will start relying more on the "Foster's Five" and heavily-hyped recurring favorites like Cheese and Goo so that they can appeal to the kids and get even more mainstream attention--and, as a result, neglect Frankie more and more, to the point that she's reduced to a minor footnote that appears once in a while. Sadly, because she is neither part of the so-called "Foster's Five" or a recurring character that Cartoon Network is hellbent on shoving down everybody's throats, I feel that CN executives and merchandisers could start swaying Craig and the writers into doing exactly that.
I'm doing my best to keep an open mind, but it's almost impossible. I fear that such could very well be the case.
