From a quick search, it appears this is still true.
Last batch of troll ponies:
I've read this whole thread and I still don't know if you like this ironically or because it's actually good.
Honestly, it's pretty good. The end of episode aesops might be a bit heavy-handed and, especially towards the beginning, there will occasionally be plots that would be non-conflicts if the ponies had a lick of common sense. It's not the greatest show ever made, but you could do a lot worse.

Why is this show not on DVD?
It just finished airing its first season a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, I'd assumed it was at the end of it's second season. So many animated shows have 13 episode seasons these days.
Episode 4 was an improvement on 3. I feel like Pinkie Pi saves the show any time it threatens to become trite.
I'm starting to understand the caste system of this version of MLP. The non-pegasus, non-unicorn ponies are the laborer class, the pegasus caste do middle class work like animal care and working closer to the top caste, and then the unicorns are the scholars and landowners.
Episode 5: "Racism!"
"Hey, we're not racists. We have a non-pony friend."

I think all ponies can own land (Apple Jack seems to own her own farm), but Unicorns definitely seem to have a more glamorous position. I think it's more of a post-integration world. The original working caste is now free to move around the social ladder, but there's still some socioeconomic inertia that means they generally occupy the lower positions.

I think this made me laugh more than it should have:
SO I watched a few episodes... and I kinda... like this. Why the hell did Cartoon Network pass up on this, especially when they knew that Lauren Faust was involved?
The Hub is partially owned by Hasbro. I doubt this show was ever offered to CN for them to air.
Ahh.. well, there you go then. I remembered liking the new GI Joe show they had on too, but I haven't watched it in months since the Hub isn't on the basic cable of my new carrier.
Just watched the last 5 episodes today! Golly I love Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy. <3 Loved how Pinkie kept randomly showing up when Twilight almost told a secret. 
She'll haunt you in your dreams..... Forever!!!!Just watched the last 5 episodes today! Golly I love Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy. <3 Loved how Pinkie kept randomly showing up when Twilight almost told a secret.
Yeah I think they did a good job on the last episodes of making Fluttershy a more rounded character instead of a little bland like she started out as. Though I somewhat feel the opposite of Pinkie Pie. Making her a little too insane and random just for random sake which sort of took away from the personality she had behind doing the random acts. So I've been going back and watching some earlier episodes to refind my love for her.
I love Fluttershy's crazy moments!! "You. Are. Going. To. LOVE ME!!! /rage"
These Hitler videos always confuse my brain since I speak German and I understand what they are saying and while I read what the Subs say,it kinda fucks everything up.
