Im looking for a new hobby and was seeing if anybody else watches MLP cartoons, plays with the dolls, etc.  

I used to watch the show, now I don't.
I think it was a phase

It was a good show, but I'm not really into it any more

No. But I watched two episodes last year trying to find out what the fuzz was all about.


Still haven't figured it out.

I am not, but my Music Instructor was. He was not reluctant to tell people about it.

Isn't that kind of the point.

I think most adult males only enjoy it ironically, or in an "I'm so masculine I can watch programs for little girls" way. In both cases the whole point is to advertise it.

Not really. For the generation that grew up with shows like Powerpuff Girls and later Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, the writing on the show harkens back to those, two figments of animation's second Golden Age (and the definitive Golden Age for Cartoon Network, though Foster's was at the tail end of that era while PPG was right through the heart of it). Friendship is Magic is a good thing for animation fans, beyond any of the strange phenomena that have surrounded it.

Heh, check the sig, or my avatar all last year. It's not as much of a mania as it once was, but it's still a consistently enjoyable show, and one of the few i'll go out of my way to stream now that i don't have satellite anymore (grad-school poverty huzzah!)

I'm not.

If you can watch it with an open mind and take in what is truly there without prejudice you will most likely enjoy it and could even come away from it humming a tune or singing a different song at times, both literally and figuratively.

Did I mention John De Lancie (star treks Q) voices Discord, a omnipotent being in the show who loves to spread chaos only to watch how people will deal with it? if you ever watched TnG Discord will Sell MLP to you.
