A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Hi! So I came to this site recently and whilst looking around I noticed a lot of posters have pony avatars. I was very curious about this, so I did a bit of research and I gotta ask, is Friendship Is Magic good? I mean, a lot of people seem to like it and I believe there's no smoke without fire. I think this deserves a look.
Welcome, Big Danny C. We're not murderers.
And yeah, FIM is not your mother's My Little Pony. In fact, it's fairly awesome.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Yeah, this show is quite good. No stupid tea parties, the characters have actual personality and depth to them {Though the latter might not be obvious right away}, and most of the humor works too. Though just to warn you, the show can be a case of Growing the Beard {YMMV though}, so it might not get real good for you till later. I personally find the first 3 episodes of the series to be pretty weak.

There's 71 episodes so far, and right now the show is in the middle of it's 4th season, so there's going to be 91 episodes total by the time Season 4 is done.
There's also a spin-off Filler film by the name of Equestria Girls as well.

Well FIM's first episode came out on October 10th 2010, and since then the show has been going apart from the huge breaks that occur in-between seasons {Which can last to about 7 or 8 months}. S1 and S2 both had 26 episodes each, S3 had 13 episodes, and S4 will have 26 episodes. Also, there's a comic series that takes place after Season 2 {At least until it gets to Issue 13, where it then enters Season 4 territory}. So yeah, this show is pretty long.
I wouldn't say that. Most non-bronies just don't know that much about FIM in general, regardless of what their current stance on the show and it's fanbase is.

A tv show and comics. Wow, OK. A lot to look at. And right now I don't have an opinion on it because I've yet to see any of it but I am keeping an open mind. If it is this popular then it must be doing something right.
And I took a look at the pages of it here and there's loads of information! I didn't think it was possible to say that much about My Little Pony.

Then again ponies also eat chocolate, and isn't that supposed to be toxic?
