Roll around the Clocks (G1.5 TV episode, August 14^th 1992, 11 minutes)

Summary: Bright Eyes and Lancer want to participant in the Rollerskating competition, but they are too shy to ask each other out.

Rollerskating. In the early nineties inline skates were taking over from quad skates, which indicates the age of the creators here. They were unaware of the style change that was going on at the time.

Makeovers. This is the girly part of the show.

The boy section is just as girly. And the singing is awful.

This is why the old MLP stuff is the exact opposite of what Lauren Faust was going for with G4. It's not that they ponies have relationships, it's the *nature* of those relationships that's the issue.

Uhhhhh. Those outfits/hairdos are awful.

Another case of the creators being a bit behind times. The switchover from vinyl to CDs was pretty much complete in America at the time this episode was broadcast. Vinyl records were only being produced for the specialty market at this point, like scratchers.

Eventually they reached a good lesson about relationships, but the ones that *needed* to learn the lesson are still in the dark.
