But why does that have to be something "wrong" with television? I wish all shows were like this.

I'd really like to know more about Big Mac (even if he wasn't bestpony :3), because he seems really emotional. He never says much of anything and has no visible friends outside of his family, making him even more introverted than Fluttershy. When AJ ran away, he was the only one to cry. He genuinely wanted Smarty Pants, most likely for some sort of comfort. However, everypony still treats him normally and praises his physical strength, even if he has little emotional strength.

I was able to write all of that about the emotions of an extremely minor character. We could write volumes about the Mane 6, and that's how television should be. Ponies are more human than most shows' human characters.

I don't get why you put "aimed at girls mind you," because girls are more likely to be emotional. "Boy's shows," if there even are such things, wouldn't be emotional because more masculine little boys would dismiss it. Everyone, girls and boys and men and women and genderqueer and everyone else has somepony they can connect with. I really wish this show would have existed when I was actually the target age, because commiserating with a giant neon red horse only gets you so far as a teenager.

tl;dr Big Mac is bestpony.
