My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

TinPenguin:
I just watched it for the first time. It is pretty damn good.

It's more worth watching than most of the dross on television these days, anyway. It is a great show for children, but I enjoyed it too (and I don't mean ironically). While it's obviously not the greatest thing I've ever watched, I made it through the whole episode without once thinking 'why am I watching this?' Good script, good voice-acting, good animation, good lessons... what's not to like? It's entertaining; that's what matters.

sterlingdragon:
To those of you who don't see the appeal because you haven't seen the show: Go see the show. It is a good show. Why is it a good show? I honestly have no frickin' idea. It's....adorable and fluffy and happy and OH GOD A FUCKING COCKATRICE WHAT.
"If I ever saw one of them Cocka-thingys face to face, I'd laugh at how silly it was!"
It certainly has 'parental bonuses', although not as prevalent as in olden days cartoons like Rocko's Modern Life and Ren & Stimpy. It's well-written, funny, well-animated and downright spooky at times.(Especially 'Party of One'. I damn near shat my pants.)

And I don't know why you keep saying there's meme references. I didn't notice any, anyway.

LTK:
I believe the term you're looking for is pop culture references.

The parental bonuses is what makes or breaks shows like this for publicity, and... Wait a minute, are you telling me that Ren & Stimpy was primarily aimed at kids?

Blue Kitty:
Another thing My Little Pony lovers enjoy, putting it into everything

LTK:
Just like Adventure Time, eh?

I just watched that episode. Um, I can see why kids like this, and the moral of the story is nice enough I guess, but I'm absolutely baffled that anyone that isn't literally (not even figuratively) a child could genuinely enjoy it. People say they like it, but it seems to me more like some sort of purposeful discarding of all critical faculties, and it seems really false! I have a really hard time believing that anyone older than eight years could find this scene genuinely spooky or scary.

I agree, the sort of mental breakdown depicted can be unsettling but it's far from scary. Though I can see the appeal of the show; they do a lot of things right. The characters are instantly recognizable and you'd know them by name after one episode (and you gotta love the accents), the visual style is very pleasing, and the themes... well, they're hardly compelling, but if the show has gained such a following, then surely there are episodes that are more interesting than this one? Tell me if you've watched more, I'm curious.
