well, at least there is some continuity to the story, for the fact that Cranky has been all over Equestria (obviously, but not blatantly stated) looking for her. And if you think about the show as a whole, it may be "for" little girls, but the audience is much older. The words used are too complex for a child to understand. especially when they come from Twilight Sparkle. The whole "friendship" premise deals with issues beyond what young children's friendships are. Children struggle with sharing and just accepting others on the skin deep level (most teasing and bullying revolves around how someone looks), whereas the ponies have issues are deep and complex (for example, they strive to be friends despite almost hating eachother {i.e. Applejack and Rarity for one example} or being unable to accept a pony's strengths AND weakness's {Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy}... Though most kid's shows are targeted towards older audiences (like Spongebob Squarepants, Adventure Time, etc), the humor isn't nice, the stories are dumb, and morals lacking...which is appealing to older audience...At least My Little Pony has a bit of something for everyone, while being clean AND appealing to the oler audiences....lol, Derpy would have never made an official apperance if it wasn't for the older fan base, and she isn't teased or ridiculed for being "retarded", by which, the notion has no grounds with this show, because she's fully accepted. Even Rainbow Dash accepts her, but her personality is just one that isn't fully accepting of many things (eggheads, losing, you get the idea)....
