I have watched the odd bit/episode.

It is a lot more like a GOOD Cartoon Network cartoon than the unwatchable stuff from the 80's.

Its still pretty girly but its no where near as grating.

I wish these were the ponies my sister watched as a kid.

<3 Fluttershy.

I don't know whether I should kill you two with my PPS or my shotgun, this will be a difficult decision...

Is this a real show? Is it geared towards children, or is it like an adult humor remake or something?

Is it just me or is every forum I go to filled with threads on this show. WHAT IS IT WITH THIS SHOW!?

Can't...escape...the ponies....

This, good mares and gentlecolts, is the official pоny thread. If you do so see another pоny thread, redirect them here.

Everypоny equal. Everypоny Loved. Love, Tоlerance, Friendship, and Kindness are the most important things a brony can have, let’s spread some joy and pοst sοme pοnies...

Every day I read this. Every day ponies.

Derp.

It's not an "adult" show or anything but it's definitely cleverly written. Enough for a swarm of 20-something year old guys to latch onto it, at least. Again, think Powerpuff Girls.



Derpy Hooves represent!



Pure awesomeness. The fanbase exploded because the show really is just that good.

I've gotta say I've only been watching this show since yesterday, and I've become a total Brony.


Rainbow Dash is hands down my favorite.

It's a guilty pleasure, but at the same time, it's not. Whoaaaah. Brainfucked.

My Little Pony is a show I watch religiously.

Yes, I admit it. I watch it and I LOVE it. It cracks me up like few things ever have.

"You are going to LOVE ME!!!!

Pinkie Pie has psychotic breakdown

FOREVER!

Evil Enchantress song

Seriously, give the show a shot. It's an incredible guilty pleasure.

Ok I just watched the clips above and I gotta ask, why is this so well written for a "My Little Pony" show? I mean seriously it's good enough for me to embarassingly watch it and not be able to comprehend why?

The reason the old school My Little Pony sucked is the same reason Care Bears sucked. It's not because it's "girly" or "kiddie." Jem was girly, too, but it was decent enough. And Tiny Toons was kiddie but it was actually pretty awesome.

No, the reason My Little Pony sucked was because all the characters were bland as balls. Mere empty shells who weren't characters but talking props. They had no discerning features other than their colors. You could take one pony's lines, give them to another pony, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Not to mention the writing itself was pretty insipid.

I hate to rag on the actors, some of whom like Charlie Adler have great work under their belt, but they all came off as stiff and over-rehearsed, probably because they had so little to work with. Plus the character design was pretty lame. The ponies couldn't deliver any emotion as they were drawn and animated. They had emotionless eyes. The show had nothing carrying it other than "Weeeeee! Colors!"

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, on the other hand? Well written, compelling characters, three-dimensional dialogue, lively acting, significantly better character design/animation (mostly through the very Disney-like eyes and squash and stretch animation), etc. So, yeah...the fact that they're all technicolor ponies is ancillary.

At first I was all - "Pssshh, My Little Pony? That's for little girls..."

Then I was all - "(Clicks on Garlador's links) Hey, this does remind me of the Powerpuff Girls. Haha! Pinkie Pie is insane! Maybe I'll give this cartoon a chance..."

Now I'm all - "I have spent the last 3 hours watching My Little Pony, and I have a quantum physics final to prepare for...

FFFFUUUUUU...."

Guilty pleasure, indeed.

Turns out that Lauren Faust, the show's creator, stepped down and only served as a consultant for a time during pre-production of the second season. Hopefully it continues to stay just as good despite her departure.

I was looking for a place to put this

I like Scorpion's cutie mark. It's Fry Guy from Mario 2.

Derpy/Ditzy Doo is a main character and they know of Bronies.

They are gonna try even harder now. lol

wha... who.....WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!?

thats it, what channel is this on?

It's on The Hub. The channel plays a lot of old skool cartoons from the 80s including new shows.

Transformers
G.I. Joe
Batman(Adam West)
Batman Beyond

New shows include:

Transformers Prime
G.I. Joe Renegades
etc etc.


I mainly watch both Transformers and both G.I. Joes because I'm a huge fan of both franchises.
