Okay, for the people saying MLP:FiM won't be renewed for a season 5, is that what you want? Do you want the show to end after only 91 episodes? Because I want it to last as long as The Simpsons, at least, and there's plenty of characters and unexplored history in Equestria to make it last that long. But it won't happen if you people don't stay optimistic in the face of despair.

MLP:FiM is a symbol of hope for what American/Canadian animation can acheive if given care and effort, because it's all alone in that department atm. And, quite frankly, a future without it's continued existence is a bleak one.

Season 3 suffered only because Hasbro became overbearing in response to the show's surprising success, thinking they could use it to promote the toys and acheive massive profits. It's clear they've realized they were wrong as Season 4 is looking to be less toyetic in its content.

Getting back to The Simpsons, it was thought that with the departure of the original staff that Season 4 would be the show's end; WORST. PREDICTION. EVER. All MLP:FiM needs to copy that success is: 1. Zero intervention in the creative process from Hasbro. 2. A willingness to shift the focus away from the Mane 6, the CMC, and Spike onto the supporting cast of characters. 3. An introduction of more dramatic elements in addition to the already prevalent comedy.

It can be done, but only if the fans truly desire it. I do, how about you?
