I've seen virtually every episode of the show on Netflix, held captive because the children maintain strict draconian rule over the remote and living room premises at all hours between 7AM-8PM...
The show isn't really that great. The animation is admittedly decent, compared to most of the nonsense these children watch (old Spiderman episodes, Magic School Bus, Wonder Pets, Toupee & Benoo, A Bunch of Munsch, etc) but really, it's just flashing colours and blinking lights. Some parts have made me laugh before. But, really, I find Spongebob to be a bit more appropriate for an adult male to be a fan of than freaking My Little Pony. At least Spongebob hides a large number of teen/adult jokes in its storylines. You can excuse being a fan of Spongebob by saying something like "Dude, if you smoke enough weed, you can practically taste the social satire", but with My Little Pony? I don't understand it, paste the weird group it has spawned. It's a nerd thing, I suppose. Men, showing they are weird and nerdy, looking to find other people who are nerdy, finding a common ridiculous ground to show their vulnerable nerdiness. Or... pedophiles. I don't know.
If I ever have kids of my own, there will be no TV and they'll be homeschooled. I don't like that a 3 year old can not only comprehend the remote, but use it very well. Reminds me of when I was 7 and couldn't figure out the VCR.
How dare you insult Magic School Bus. I'd still watch that shit.
