Basically, it's cheaper to broadcast reruns than to pay for new content, and that 65 rule is a good rule of thumb, it seems, for a lot of shows to begin mainly showing reruns and cutting back on new content; plus, with that number, being able to be shown every weekday for a full quarter, the show can easily enter into syndication, netting the company (in this case, Hasbro) even more money. (though, I'm guessing since FiM has been so successful, they decided it was worth it to order a full season for s4)

Will we see seasons 1-3 enter into syndication on local stations, or something along those lines? I suppose we'll just have to stay tuned.
