Gdee, Lynnie, couldn't you have made it a spoiler?

Uhm...sure, I could have, but I don't think a synopsis is a "spoiler" as it's just a general...uh...synopsis. That's reserved for the more detailed goings on in an episode.

Whatever.

Coco "escapes" from Foster's? I wasn't aware that she was being held there against her will. Regardless, it's nice to see her getting an episode of her own; of the major IF's she's arguably the most neglected.

Yeah a synopsis doesn't need spoiler tags. I promise.

Yeah, I assume by "escapes" it's referring to a particular situation as opposed to Foster's per se. Something which Coco finds stressful or unpleasant.

For some reason the synopsis has me thinking of that early Malcolm in the Middle episode where Dewey wanders away from home and goes on that mind-bending road trip...the one where he pleads with a scarecrow for directions and convinces a lady who picks him up to resort to cigarette smoking for the first time in thirty-odd years.

Anyhow, Coco-centricity is always a good thing. This must be the first time she's had a starring role since "Cuckoo for Coco Cards" (which even then was more Bloo's episode). I say bring it on.

Is this the next episode to air? That's not too bad...I thought we might have to wait til May, which would have sucked.

As for the synopsis, I'm going to concur with the general "Yay, Coco!" sentiments expressed thus far. I've always felt that Coco is a far more developed and versatile character than her single-word vocabulary might suggest, and that she has been a sorely undervalued and underused up to this point; the only Coco spotlight episodes I can remember are "Cuckoo for Coco Cards" which, as jekylljuice correctly pointed out, was more of a Bloo episode, and "My So-Called Wife", where she spent most of the time acting mindlessly insane and rather out-of-character.

I'm optimistic, then, that "Mondo Coco" will go some way to redressing this balance, but still, I can't help but have reservations about the "escaping from Foster's" aspect of the plot, as it suggests to me that we might be in for another close-focus episode with a pared-down cast list. Don't get me wrong, I do like these episodes as a change of pace, but in recent times it's felt like they've become the rule, rather than the exception, which I'm not so keen on; as I've said, "Let Your Hare Down" was a fantastic reminder that the Foster's cast works best as an ensemble, and these single/dual character spotlights can sometimes dilute that, especially when they take the action out of the house and away from the likes of Frankie, Herriman and the supporting cast of Imaginary Friends.

Still, we'll wait and see, eh?

A Coco centric episode? It hasn't even aired yet and I am liking it already.

Like the plot of this episode, and its been a while since we have a new episode of Foster's.

Also, I'm glad that other characters besides Mac and Bloo are getting a chance to have an episode revolving around one of them.
