And while it had a few funny jokes, I mostly found the characters to be annoying, and the plot lines to be stupid, cliche, and predictable. So I gave up on it.
It certainly isn't for everyone, but I'm wondering about your statement on plot lines. Compared to an actual little girl's show, I thought the plot lines diverted pretty far from the norm. Most shows for girls tend to do the "someone is upset, let's all hug out our differences" bullshit, while MLP actually uses advice, advice good for people of all ages. Even for the major villians, most shows for girls tend to use the "use happiness and the bad guy won't hurt you" crap while MLP encourages actually talking shit out.
Cliche, sure, but it's almost like a parody more than a cliche with how often MLP totally switches the direction the episode appeared to be going in.
I'm not disagreeing with you objectively, I'm just wondering what your thoughts on it are, if you remember enough about the plots and want to discuss it.
