Not really. I haven't watched an episode in years, but the ones I watched withy granddaughter were actually good. Much better than the ones her mom watched when she was a little girl. Much better.
I'm not a brony, but I won't diss anyone that is. It's just fate that had me use Trixie the first three times. I may not be a brony, but Trixie is now my spirit pony.
Now I gotta find out what I just let myself in for.
