I've been watching this show nonstop all week, and now I find myself listening to the music constantly, waiting for the new episode to air on Friday. Catchy music, happy themes... Also, it's written by Lauren Faust, wife of Craig McCracken, of Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends fame.
The characters are likable and easy to relate to, and the moral at the end of each episode makes me feel my inner child again. The simplicity and innocence of the show makes me realize how too focused and irritated I get with everyday life, whether it be from studying or video games or work. I have to say, my nerdrage has probably dropped by a factor of 10 since watching My Little Pony.
i really wanted to post something with some biting sarcasm, but then i sat through the video with my mouth open pretty much dumbfounded. its like it magically turned off my brain.

That's pretty much what happened to me.
"People actually watch this show? I bet they're just trolling me."

I haven't gone down that road yet, but Lauren Faust and Craig McCracken are geniuses. The two cartoons they've done so far are easily among the best of their respective generations (Powerpuff girls and Foster's Home), So I wouldn't be surprised if it's good.
I'm sure there are many others who share some sort of way to keep their inner child. Anime comes to mind, although their demographics range all over the place. I do find it a bit unusual that you chose such a show, but I also think it's sorta nice that people actually do find a little peace in these "childish" things.
I actually kind of bought in to this after reading a thread about it and watched the first episode. Didn't get a thing out of it-- it might be a non-shitty kids' show, but that's all it is. If you really like kids' shows then this is right up your alley but otherwise you can just brush all these super-fan-theads off.
