How much longer should the show run?

[CastletonSnob 3,089]

How much longer would you like the show to continue running? Would you like more seasons, or would you be fine with it ending after S9?

I want at least 2 more seasons. They could easily get 2 more centered around the return of King Sombra and the Dazzlings alone.

[Black Sabbath 2,488]

Personally, I think that the show should have ended after season six.

Forever.

If MLP G4 is going down, I'm going down with it. It's the only thing I live for.

I'm perfectly fine with it ending at Season 9, if those leaks are true. It doesn't deserve to end when it's gotten stale and uninteresting and I personally find nine seasons to be of a solid length.

Gotta agree with @Cash In. I'd much rather the show end on a high note than continue on a downward slope.

It should run as long as it takes for them to give Spike his BIG season! Let's go with that!

As long as it putting out quality episodes... I don't care when it ends. I really like G4 and i think Hasbro got the winning formula down. However, from what i hear about G5... it's going to be really good as well. That, however, doesn't mean i want G4 to end as soon as possible to see it.

You and me both, pal.

Just give me enough to get through all this half-finished fan art, and I'll be satisfied...

Long enough that there will a practical incentive for Hasbro to buy a 'planet' in the eventually inevitable virtual reality Oasis, and build a thriving Equestrian civilization.

So... I'd say... May 18, 2047?

I don’t care if FIM end as long as G4 horses are still alive. They could easily make a spin-off to FIM

I feel it's already past its prime, so just one more season to send it off and wrap some stuff up is probably the right call. Not holding my breath for a sudden turnaround anymore. 

[DonMaguz 1,023]

Given the taste season 8 (6 and 7 too) left me, I think that the last season should be 9 or 10.

I still think the show could go over 14 seasons with a good quality, but to achieve that, major changes should happen and I prefer that FiM remains mostly about Twilight Sparkle and her group of friends.

[Ganondorf8 11,705]

I'd say that the show should end either after season nine or season ten. I know a lot of people don't want it to end but if it were to keep going, it would eventually become stagnant, and we've seen plenty of programs that have become victims of this.

Or they can take a break for some years and then upload more seasons so the folks will see what they were missing.

I don't particularly think the length of shows matters. Lots of people like to claim that shows that run long always get worse at some point, but I don't believe this is true. Shows wax and wane over time, MLP has done it just in eight seasons. In my opinion, the trend was upwards until season 4, a massive valley for season 5, a slight rebound in season 6, and a continued rebound over the past two seasons. If it were extended for a considerable number of additional seasons, say five, I'm sure there'd be another valley in there somewhere. BUT, and this is key, a downturn does not have to be permanent, shows are perfectly capable of rebounding and are capable of suddenly loosing the magic when everything had implied that they were still improving. What I'm saying is that I'll take all the pony I can get and that Hasbro deems profitable, and nothing about how much more that is will necessarily be negative for the quality.

The thing about those shows though is that people still enjoy them. That's why they are on season 22 or whatever. Just because you think a show is bad doesn't mean everyone does. For example... I think Teen Titans Go was bad and would not make it through the first season and pretty much everyone on the internet hated it... but it's still going... pretty successfully. The internet was a loud minority in that one. There is a silent majority of people who still enjoy it. 

Someone stated above that the show been going downhill since season five... but imo season 5 is the show best season and season 3 is the worst. Season 7 was extremely good and season 8 was overall good as well. Our opinions on these things... are just too different depending on the person you ask. Otherwise, these shows wouldn't still be on the air. I say this because i seen the opposite. There are shows i absolutely loved get canceled and I wonder how.

I think ending the show after season 9 is a good call.  FIM has already been going on for quite a while, and has already covered a lot, so I think it would be best for it wrap up before it gets stale.
