Smart Girl's New Favorite TV Show

Hi readers of the Heath Post! It's Smart Girl here. Today I'm going to a review of a TV show. This show will be My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, which airs on The Hub network. Just so you older readers know, this is not the 80's version, it has new episodes airing. Don't be put off by the fact that it's based on the My Little Pony toys. I'll show you why you should consider this show, not just for little girls, but people of all ages.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is about, obviously, ponies. There are six "mane" characters: Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle. Applejack and Pinkie Pie are known as "earth ponies" meaning they are just normal ponies, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are "Pegasus ponies" meaning, obviously, they have wings, and Rarity and Twilight Sparkle are unicorns, having horns and magical powers because of said horns.

The story starts with us meeting Twilight Sparkle, a nerdy student of Princess Celestia, who is obsessed with her studies. She is worried about the coming of "Nightmare Moon,"supposedly an evil pony who formerly controlled the moon before she got jealous of her sister and was banished to the moon. When she presents the concerns to Princess Celestia, she is sent to Ponyville, the site of the "Summer Sun Celebration" when Princess Celestia raises the sun on the summer solstice. Twilight is also told to "make some friends," a command which Twilight ignores. Despite trying to be antisocial, Twilight meets several ponies who seem to think they are going to be great friends. However, at the Summer Sun Celebration, Princess Celestia goes missing and who shows up but Nightmare Moon. After this, Twilight and the other "mane" six go off to defeat Nightmare Moon with the mystical "Elements of Harmony," which they currently do not have. Therefore, they must obtain them in order to defeat Nightmare Moon and bring back Princess Celestia.

What I just described to you was the first episode. Just because I described it to you, however, does not mean you can skip to the second episode or just turn on the TV and watch the episode that's just on or whatever. You must watch all the episodes, which you can find on YouTube. Once you have caught on the show, you can watch new episodes on the Hub at 10:00 Eastern on Saturdays. That made clear, I think this is an amazing show with awesome songs and awesome characters. Also, just so you know, if you are not in the target age group, DON'T WORRY, you are not alone. This is huge and is actually a giant Internet phenomenon. I highly suggest this for any and all to watch and love.

Official Smart Girl Grade:A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Best Watched by Ages: ALL! Anyone can watch this show and love it.

So there you have it, an unlikely winner, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
