This takes me back! Not so much to the 80s (I was never a real fan) but our own youngest watching Friendship is Magic. At one point, it seemed that there was a constant loop of episodes running throughout the week...

Great overview of this classic! I had younger sisters in the 80s who loved this gang, especially since we grew up on a horse farm. Then later my daughter fell in love with them as well and we would spend a lot of time playing together. Great memories.

Thank you so much Matthew for your kind words. I too had a 1980’s sister :)

I am embarrassed to say I used to LOVE these as a kid! Interesting background, Jon. Thanks!

MLP: FIM was a marvelous series. The other versions, not so much...

(Lauren Faust is married to Craig McCracken, creator of "The Powerpuff Girls", whose action/comedy tone FIM occasionally apes...).

I didn’t know that, thanks David.
