Meghan's promotion was announced in June, which is long enough ago that they might already have had half the season in the bag, or they might have handed the series off to someone else and kept her transition quiet until the time was right.

That ad actually helped convince me to start watching the show, since while I don't ordinarily read that section of the paper, I checked it after hearing about it online and that made me think that FiM was more important than I'd previously imagined.

If ad space is $5 million for a 30 second spot, that's more than the entire production budget for a season.

Fizzbuzz wrote:I feel like that has more to do with our own perceptions than anything else, seeing as so many of us started watching the show before or during the second summer at the latest. Sure, the show has built on itself a lot and the characters have grown up somewhat (and the art's gotten a lot prettier), but as far as tone goes I don't think the show has lost its appeal.
Then again, I suppose some people really loved (early) S1's simplicity in its characterization and story. I see the change in that as part of the show growing up, but if that was a big part of the appeal for anyone then perhaps that counts as something lost.
