Apparently this My Little Pony is a bit of a cultural phenomenon these days.
Actually, the TV series is tied in to a product launch of dolls and play sets.
Oh, I think I remember those from when I was a kid. Do you know when the tv show started?
I believe it started in 2010 on the Discovery Channel
That's more recent than I thought. It seems like the show has some very passionate fans.
Yea, parents like it because the characters are not so girly --there is adventure and humor also
That's good. I bet a lot of kids watch it, so hopefully it has positive messages for them.
The showfound a big audience among adults on the Internet, especially males. 
That's funny, you wouldn't expect a show like that to be watched by adult men!
Adult males appreciated the animation style
