Seriously? There's already another pony thread going on this very minute.

However, I will repost my reply from there to here:
It's animation is great, its characters are fleshed out and realised without being stereotypes, the voice acting is phenomenal, the songs are good, the subject matter is excellent, they don't treat the audience like idiots, and the Creator Lauren Faust made it with the intent that adults will be watching it with their daughters, thus she didn't dumb it down.
Lauren Faust was also able to make this happen by telling Hasbro that she wasn't just going to make a twenty minute commercial for the toy-line and actually make people care about what they are buying. Plus, she's the one behind Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, both of which are quite good.

Watch them on youtube, but don't watch the first two episodes first, try episodes three and four first instead.
People like the show, maybe?

I dunno, I watched the first few episodes and while it was ok, there was nothing really all that special about it.

You wouldn't believe how many times this thread has been made. Anyway people saw the show expecting it to be crap and were quite surprised to see it was pretty decent.
Before we have another explosion of threads wondering why MLP is so popular, I'm just going to link to this thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.284744-Is-My-Little-Pony-Friendship-is-Magic-good] and advise those curious about the craze to take the discussion there. Too many Pony threads too soon tends to upset people which can quickly turn into flame wars.
Don't mean to kill your thread OP, but your question will be answered there I'm sure and it will help cut down on the pony hysteria that tends to grip forums when it's exposed to enough Ponies (due to both Bronies and haters).

Yeah, think this explains it pretty well. Definitely seems to be one of the better internet memes we have going around to.Radoh said:
Thanks for posting that.Bara_no_Hime said:
I was content in letting this craze slip by me like any other until you made it convenient to see what the hub and the bub was all about. I can say that I'd be comfortable watching this show with my child (if I had one).
