Pony Of The Month

I'm not sure if I came up with a good title, but what I wanted to title this would have been too long. What I'm asking is what kind of direction does a show have to go in order for you to say that it has jumped the shark? What is considered good and what is considered bad? How many consecutively bad episodes will you watch before you drop the show completely? Do you welcome change, or do you want your show to stay the same every season? Did the show really decline in quality, or do you just have a Nostalgia Filter? What shows do you think jumped the shark and why? For me, the only show I can say that has truly jumped the shark in my opinion is Fairly OddParents. Inevitably someone's going to say "You forgot Spongebob!" but I haven't seen any of the recent episodes, so I can't say anything about that. So why do I think Fairly OddParents jumped the shark? Is it because of poof? No, but that's when it happened. You see, Poof isn't my problem. My problem is that I feel like they ran out of ideas, and created Poof as a plot device. I don't hate Poof, but he's only there because they ran low on ideas. Even before Poof, the show's humor had started to decline. There used to be brilliant humor, and now every episode is full of stupid running gags. To be fair, the older episodes had a lot of running gags, but at least they were funny. There are other cartoons that have been accused of Jumping The Shark for similar reasons. I can't remember much of it, but once Dil was introduced to Rugrats, that's when people say it jumped the shark. Honestly, the only thing I remember about Dil was The Rugrats Movie which is one of my favorite animated movies of all time. I can't say I hate Dil, considering that he was a big role in one of my favorite movies. People also say that Powerpuff Girls jumped the shark during their 5th and 6th seasons. I don't agree, but I can't argue with them either. Season 5 was the weakest and Season 6 was the second weakest. But I'm not just going to say the show Jumped The Shark. But I am a very forgiving person. I even forgave them for that awful garbage known as "Toast Of The Town." Seriously, if you've never seen Powerpuff Girls, don't watch Toast Of The Town. Watch something from the first 4 seasons first. So, that's all I have to say about Shark Jumping. What do you have to say?

Well, before MLP I watched Powerpuff Girls, which was the reason I gave MLP a chance. I have seen the first episode of Littlest Pet Shop, which was a 2 parter, but after seeing part 1, I really didn't want to watch part 2, unlike MLP where I gave both parts a shot. I think I'm willing to watch some Soujo and Magical Girls shows a shot.

I just saw someone post a topic about Ableton, and I thought that now that I have started using Reason, I wanted to know if there are any musicians here who use it. I have been sort of getting used to it, but the thing that really frustrates me is the piano roll. Well, maybe it's not really a "piano roll" but the only other DAW I've had experience with other than Reason is FL Studio, which actually had a piano roll. I really wish Reason had a piano roll, because the sequencer is just frustrating to use. However, I do still like Reason. I just wish there was something that was like a mix of Reason and FL Studio. That would be perfect for me. I'm not a "brony musician" (as in my music is not related to MLP) but I have considered making pony music. The music I have made unfortunately, isn't that great, and I need more practice.

Cartoons: Adventure Time Regular Show Gravity Falls Phineas And Ferb Dan Vs. Transformers Prime Powerpuff Girls Anime: School Rumble Puella Magi Madoka Magica Angel Beats Clannad The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Code Geass I don't watch any live action tv. It doesn't interest me for some reason....

I'm not incredibly spiritual, but I do meditate every once in awhile. I don't meditate to "become enlightened" and I don't believe in the law of attraction (at least not in a spiritual way) but I do meditate and astral project sometimes.

Well, I read the hub's 2013-2014 plans, and it says that it's coming out this summer and is supposed to be a series finale. I don't remember what it's called though.

Are you talking about the humans, Transformers or both? I believe that a lot of the character designs are based off of the Michael Bay movies.

I've never been a huge fan of the Transformers franchise in general, but when I found out that Transformers Prime is getting a TV movie, I suddenly became interested. I don't know why that was enough to get my interest. Maybe it's because this might be the hub's first ever original movie. (please correct me if I'm wrong.) I decided to watch it, and now I'm hooked. I'VE ONLY JUST FINISHED THE FIRST SEASON, SO NO SPOILERS PLEASE.

I have a few, but I've never decided on one... Maybe Bridle Gossip, because the moral is don't judge a book by its' cover. (which is what non-bronies do to mlp) But don't tell them the moral. Let them see it themselves. A lot of bronies say Lesson Zero, and while it is a good episode, it isn't really a good representation of the show as a whole, so I personally don't reccomend it for a first time watcher.
