Good for you Blinky, I for one would be happy to se Roosevelt come back in one way or another.

You spelt Caroll Spinney's first name wrong. It's two L's not one!

Bruno would cost a fortune to rebuild. that's why we have never seen him since.

And I doubt anyone would want SAM the machine... even die hards. But there is no excuse to NOT make a new Roosevelt Franklin, even as a background character. He doesn't look like he'd cost all that much to rebuild.

I don't think the cost or design is the issue... I think it's the content of the character. He's way out of date and too stereotypical.

I say, rebuild him as a back ground character. He needn't say or do anything. Plus, are thoese little AM's pretty inexpensive (compared to certain others) to make anyway? It's a great compromise.

It's not the crucial to bring these characters back. Hopefully you'll be able to see them all again in older clips soon!
