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.

Just learned news.

If I wasn't so busy now I would post image macros to show happy I am.

Yay for season 5.

5 seasons eh? I doubt any of the other generations have had THAT long a run before.

@star. Yeah, this has officially broken the run time of every non Friendship is Magic MLP cartoon combined. G1 lasted the longest at 70 episodes. The generations themselves last a good long while, but the cartoons themselves only tend to last a few years at best.

It's probably broken total viewership too.

Yeah, there was a tweet at some point. Some people weren't convinced, though.

It got like 14 episodes as part of season 2, but was canceled before they could fill out a second season. And 70 really isn't much considering each ep was 9 minutes.

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.

Well, all this is news to me. Not quite buying it myself just yet though. Still plenty of episodes left to sway the opinion.

Anywho, I hope Minty's holding up well. It's a case of I know I had a couple times I broke an appendage, and it was not pleasant. -readies a sandwich-

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.

I 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 guess they were going for Spongebob Scheduling. But it's weird to have a mandatory song with such short episodes.

Yeah, 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.))

@NES As much as I don't like Minty, I'm pretty sure the medical staff have some food she MIGHT like.

@ 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.

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 Why do you dislike Minty so much?

#36873: Jan 10th 2014 at 11:05:11 AM

@Story I'm fine with Pinkie Pie. Why the hell do you think I have one of her episodes as my favourite? It's Party for One by the way.

@Syd What do you suggest I pay her a visit in the hospital?

@ 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.
