Just because they have that $5 million, doesn't mean it's good to go. It's impossible to know if something, anything could happen, that would prevent MLP from continuing. 7 years is a very long time.

I'm just saying, I have never seen or heard of any other show, (far more successful than pony) that would get 7 seasons ordered at once. Why would pony get that? It just doesn't seem like something's right about that, so I can't really see it as true. I mean, Simpsons could probably do that, but I don't even think they do.

Yeah, that's true. I don't want to see MLP go down that road at all.
SoundMonkey44 wrote:Edit: Also I still find speculation about degradation of quality &/or how many more seasons we will won't get fairly self defeating. I understand it's hard not to do stuff like that at times, but It's like Sayin wow I really like [insert thing here]. Wonder how long till I can complain about it sucking.... That just seems borderline psychotic to me.

Highbrow Dash wrote:Eh. Go watch Best night ever, Party of one or Return of harmony. There's a childish charm in earlier episodes that just isn't in recent seasons, the show has changed a lot. Not that I don't love episodes like Pinkie Pride, Rarity takes Manehattan, Filly Vanilli and many others, but it's a whole different show these days.

Sobana wrote:While I do miss the child like attitude, the staff did say they wanted the show to mature with the audience. They can always go back to their childish ways.

Well, no they can't, really. Can you imagine it? The feeling of whiplash? The fan arguments about how suddenly everyone's acting like kids?
They've at least got an organic arc going on that they can continue to exploit as long as it doesn't start defying time and space and causality.
