The old Cartoon Cartoons were awesome. I frickin' loved Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Cow and Chicken.

Actually, one episode of Cow and Chicken gave me one of my best laughs ever while watching anything. It was when they were moving and were saying goodbye to all places in their old house.

Then, they get in the car, start moving and stop a few feet ahead. They'd move to a that looked exactly the same right next to the old one.

When Cow and Chicken asked why they had moved, Dad and Mom said: "Because of the ants."

Then they asked "And couldn't we get rid of the ants?", to which the answer was a disdaining laugh: "Oh, children, you can't get rid of ants!"

Chicken then said: "I never knew about that."

And Dad rejoinded: "There are many things you don't know, kids, that's why you go to school."

The line was so random it had me rolling on the floor laughing for several straight minutes.

(The other memorable laugh I had when watching a cartoon was when Pinky, from Pinky and the Brain, was dared to come up with a plan to conquer the world. Then he opens up an Oyster Museum. Somehow, he manages to become very popular with that, and ends up becoming mayor for one day. His first ruling as mayor was to change the city's name to Shiny Pants, and everybody in town would have to wear very shiny pants.

The shiny pants everyone was wearing obfuscate Bill Gate's private jet pilot that was going over the town and the plane crashes. Bill Gates, far from being mad because of the crash, is very moved by a city where everyone wears Shiny Pants, and invites Pinky to be part of MicroSponge. In the end Pinky almost, almost conquers the world. And Shiny Pants was really, really funny.)

I saw half an episode 5 years ago, and it was unbelievably lame. It boggles the mind that so many love this series now.

I really hate Seth Green. Robot Chicken is the worst show on Adult Swim.

Worst show on Adult Swim? I certainly don't care much for it anymore (the show was hit & miss early on - now it's pretty much miss), but I'd say there's worse.

Then again, the only reason I watch Adult Swim anymore is for Superjail! They need to make some new damn Squidbillies.

Yes, because they needed someone to act like a hyperactive 7-year old in their motion-capture suits. But they had to hire a 14-year-old to voice one.
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.

Might not be the worst, but it's the worst regularly airing show.

Superjail is awesome though. I'm liking the new season.

Look, the point I am trying to make is that it is perfectly fine for someone who is an adult and/or male to like My Little Pony due to the quality of the show. I don't care who Seth Green is or what he was in, but I just wanted to prove my point.

Is it okay to dislike it do to it being overrated and poorly written?
not saying I dislike it or anything

Femininity would never prevent me from liking, or cause me to like, a show or cartoon.

Yes, it would be perfectly fine to dislike the show if it didn't have solid writing, fluid animation, and talented voice actors. I would have no objections to that. But you have to watch the show first, before you can judge it credibly.
