Yes. It's true that people different ages are watching My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. It's because the show is incredibly popular. Why? Well, the show is more different than the version before, and more activities and the more fun and interesting stuff come along with it. As you can see, the characters are more different than the old ones. Names of ponies had changed. There are these things called "bronies" that are really on the internet, your right. It's being more popular, in each and every different state. Some states, most likely not others.
