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.

G1 had SEVENTY episodes?? I didn't know there was more than one season.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Also I think this was confirmed a while ago.
Yeah, there was a tweet at some point. Some people weren't convinced, though.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!I'm not too familiar with G1. 9 minutes? That's it? G4 is just getting into the meat of the plot at 9 minutes.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Fun fact: G4 was originally planned to have 11 minute episodes and Ticketmaster designed for that time frame. After the swap to 22 minute episodes, they had to expand on Ticketmaster fill the rest of the timeslot.
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiI broke my ankle and collarbone in the same fall six years ago. Not good. I've also broken the same elbow twice. It still aches on occasion.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!I guess they were going for Spongebob Scheduling. But it's weird to have a mandatory song with such short episodes.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYeah, talk about rushed, go watch a G1 stand-alone. Thank the gods at least they gave the series multipart serials, though even that took away from the time as the writers were forced to put a little song in each part and tack on a clifhanger at the end of every episode. That's why strong characterization is so sparse. not because the ponies didn't have personalities, but because they barely had any time to express them. Not helped by the fact that Hasbro all but made them cram a ton of ponies to market as many as possible.
@Syd: Ouch. Broke my right arm at one point, and my right wrist at another point.
@Starscream: Well, it's in case the medical equines gave Minty something she didn't like... besides, it's a salad sandwich.
@G1: Heavens... such short episodes... I thought the episodes would be longer back then. (After all, society today seems to have devolved into faster, mule! (No offense to any mules in the vicinity.))
@ Star: You may not like Minty, but do you really need to be so openly hostile towards her? You're basically treating her like she's diseased or something.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Yeah, we basically knew about Season 5 already, but heavier onfirmation is nice.
Also, chapter 3 of my fanfic
is out for those of you who were interested.
@ Star: Since I honestly don't care why you don't like her, I suggest you quit with the "Oh-woe-is-me-my-day-is-ruined" routine every time she shows up.
You may sigh and give your exasperated response now.

The Powerpuff Girls started to go downhill in the last two seasons. Hopefully ponies won't go that route. S4 has been doing well so far, so here's hoping they can keep it up.
