Just finished watching My Little Pony. It was awesome!
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

Something I'm anticipating highly.

Don't get too excited for a DVD. The Hub might pull a CN on you (meaning, they wait 10 years, then only give you the first season.) I'm hoping The Hub is going to be good about that sort of thing though; I'd buy a Dan vs. DVD in a flash.

They've put together a pretty decent list there. The phenomenon of adult-accessible kids' shows, while perhaps more pronounced now, is nothing new. When I was growing up, there were shows my dad looked forward to watching as much as I did. This was no accident. When the creative staff of the most memorable kids' shows of the past give interviews, one thing you'll hear time and again is that they did their best to make shows that they personally would have enjoyed watching. Writer J. Michael Straczynski went so far as to basically write The REAL Ghostbusters for adults, but within acceptable guidelines for children. When he was no longer allowed to do this, he quit the show.
There's a TVtropes link for this sort of thing. Thankfully I don't remember.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
