        I don't find it surprising people like the show. It's a sweet, innocent, positive, genuinely funny and smartly written show. It's also beautifully animated and wonderfully voice acted. Even John de Lancie (famous to sci-fi fans as Q) voiced the villian Discord on the show. In my opinion, it's also one of the few 80s updates that's actually much better than the original.

        Here's a link to a Friendship is Magic thread I started a couple of weeks ago.

        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          From further investigation, I hear the love is for the new version of the show, instead of the original which is supposed to be much inferior.

            The new show is just as Werewolf described. My daughter loves it, and it is one show our whole family can watch and enjoy.

              I haven't seen the show, but recently an audio clip showed up on one of my science podcasts because in an episode of the show they taught some basic ideas about critical thinking - which really impressed me.

              If I had a kid, I'd want them to watch a show like that for sure!

                  Dude, I'm such a brony! I wish some of the superhero shows were as entertaining as My Little Pony.

                  Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

                    Totally agree. Am really hoping the Lauren Faust short Super Best Friends Forever gets turned into a series.

                        she is...I'm amazed at all the things she's been involved in and that I'm a big fan of.....

                        I'm hoping S.B.F.F gets turned into a series.....

                          I'm bumping this because I'm guessing Tony Kornheiser on PTI is a fan. I saw an Applejack figure over by him today.
