Finally! Something that passes as a confession and not an opinion! |

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

Takino has more eloquently summed up my thoughts on the issue at hand *claps* |

It's odd how many people don't stop to consider that adults write cartoons.
I can't imagine what a soul-crushingly terrible job it must be to work on a show written for an exclusively toddler audience. It really makes you think about the effort behind something like Blue's Clues. Thank God for for the fun cartoons out there. |

My bad, duped when I tried to correct grammar. |

I imagine that working on a show for a Toddler audience would either be the very best or the very worst of jobs, depending on how much freedom you were given, and how much the other people working on the show care about the show.
That's what really attracted me to MLP at first, that just watching it, you could tell that the people behind it loved what they were doing and cared about what they were creating. |

#476, If you take a hard look, making a successful toddler show is a very challenging and rewarding endeavor. Every piece has to be carefully thought out, or you get something like 3.5.
There's a very good reason why most shows for very young children are based around education: to have an intelligent show for that age and not be pandering or insulting, you need to teach them whatever you're talking about. Of course, the reward is that you're one of the first memories an army of children possess. |

Ugh ... it IS grown up of adults to watch My Little Pony because it demonstrates a maturity and a lack of fear of bright colours.
THAT'S THE POINT |
