Wasn't sure if this counted as "spoilers" or not. To me it seems like general info.

Anyway long story short, assuming nothing changes, it looks like the rest of season 6 will air in the UK ahead of when it will air in the US.

What the hell? Seriously, that's Saturday next week. Is the UK broadcaster just skipping a ton of episodes to get to the finale or something?

Nope they're going to air an episode each day. So again, if nothing changes, there'll be new episodes spread across four days, even the two parts of the finale will each get a day.

Is Hasbro okay with this? Maybe they don't care, since they know kids are well able to find the episodes online now, and thus this gets to steal Discovery Family's thunder.

No idea and yeah at this point why should they really care? Let's be honest, FIM's ratings have been bad for a long time. No one watches Discovery Family.

Now if things do go through this will be the first time a two partners was split up and aired separately since Return of Harmony.

At the rate things are going, I expect to wake up tomorrow and the rest of season 6 will be on Netflix.

I like how it is starting to seem like the country that produces it is the last country to air it.

Youre probably right, I bet Canada and the Phillipines probably do get the shaft when it comes to broadcast scheduling.

It's not unique to Ponies. I recall that a bunch of Nickelodeon shows aired in other countries first before it finally aired in the 'States. I even recall it happening to Cartoon Network shows, too.

Treehouse TV up here was pretty good in the first half of this season, running the episodes at 11:20 am and no commercials. Unfortunately they're running the second half eps a week late. :rainbert:

And once upon a time it wasn't such a big deal, but nowadays it's incredibly easy for people on the other side of the world to record and share video of a show that ended early with its main audience in America or whatever other country. I guess it's still not such a big deal for Hasbro, given that they seem to just barely give the slightest of shits about airing the show on DF.

I've been watching G1 lately after a friend said it was quite... different from G4 and G3. And holy crap I can't believe how family friendly G4 and G3 are compared to G1 :gotcha: Kinda is a shame how a handful of cartoons apparently were more darker and disturbing in the 80s.

So recently Cartoon Network announced that Regular Show and Adventure Time have a set end date. The former actually next year in January and the latter in 2018.

Why do I bring this up? Because it seems like RS, AT, and FiM are the only popular cartoons from 2010 that are still running :pcstare:

I think it'll be interesting to see whether MLP or AT is the last one standing :-P

Hey, I got an idea! Maybe Fuzzbizz and run G1 cartoons in the Pasture since FiM is over?

Makes me wonder when more shows will realize it's time to go online-only. But I know that will likely lose money vs even a little bit on a bad channel...

Anyways, I won't be surprised either way if this stands or is pulled. I'm expecting some UK livestreamer ready to go now lol (8am UK time is night owl time in America)

I'm more surprised by Adventure Time ending. Sure it's not for another two years, and yeah we all knew it'd have to end eventually but it's been such a staple of Cartoon Network for the past several years it's odd to think it'll be ending soon-Ish.

And yeah depending on what the plans are for FiM post-movie, it could potentially outlast Adventure Time, which would honestly be surprising.

Keep in mind that most shows don't have the same business model as FiM. Most other television shows exist to get people either to subscribe to a premium channel/streaming video service, or otherwise to hook a repeat audience into seeing advertisements of some sort. FiM, meanwhile, exists to sell toys. Originally FiM was going to get 65 episodes and then go into syndication until it was time for G5, but around the end of S3 Hasbro realized that they could bring about a bigger and more loyal toy-and-merch-buying audience of kids and adults alike if they made more episodes and continued the story. Most other shows don't have the merchandizing machine behind it that FiM has, and as such I think most shows would stand to lose more by switching exclusively to digital distribution.

So in addition to season 7 being confirmed for totes reals this time, we're also getting three Equestria Girls "specials" next year.

Three 22 minute packages of EqG could be better than the played-out movie tropes they've covered.

CANNES: In 2017, Hasbro Studios will roll out the third season of Transformers: Robots in Disguise.

The new season will offer “young Transformers fans around the globe all-new action-packed stories featuring their favorite Autobots and Decepticons,” says Finn Arnesen, the company’s senior VP of global distribution and development.

Next year will also see the premiere of a new season of the hit TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, as well as the release of the animated feature film My Little Pony: The Movie. “Hasbro Studios will also continue to expand our successful My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic spin-off series, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls,” says Arnesen. “Fans around the world will be able to enjoy three all-new specials in 2017 that feature the colorful characters of the Equestria Girls universe.”

Arnesen adds: “Putting storytelling at the heart of everything we do, we continue to take our brands to new places across the TV, digital and movie landscapes.”

I'm not necessarily sure that implies they'll be only 22 minutes long. In fact, it seems to me like they could be the same length as the first four. That wording doesn't really explain either way.

I don't think it's practical, production-wise, to produce three 70-minute movies in a year. Three half-hour specials makes much more sense, but that's just me.

Me too, actually. I'm kinda curious to see a Pinkie one (of course), but I'd actually like to see a Fluttershy flashback, if only to get more Zephyr and interesting character development. :pinkieshrug:

I think Rainbow Dash has had the most childhood flashbacks, but I don't know the exact statistics.

On top of my head, we've had flashbacks to Rainbow's childhood in "Griffon the Brush-Off", "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", "Games Ponies Play", and "Newbie Dash". Oh, and if you count time travel, "The Cutie Remark" two-parter.

I'd like to see an episode that covers how Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy came to live in Ponyville. Applejack and Rarity are natives of the town, and we all know how and why Twilight moved there, but those other three still have that largely unexplained.

Rainbow's parents kicked her out the moment she turned 18, so she moved to Ponyville. That's why she gets to have a birthaversary :maddash:
