The Cutie-mark Crusaders are major players in the series. It's on par with Simpsons episodes about Bart and/or Lisa. And not unlike The Simpsons, those episodes are often weaker.
There's a lot of character potential in the CMC's. Especially Scootaloo, as she's the only filly whose family has yet to make an appearance. A common misconception is that she's related to Rainbow Dash, especially since the other two are related to respective members of the Mane Six. The truth is, no one knows anything about Scootaloo's family, which has led to speculation that she comes from an abusive home.
