YAY!

Hopefully.

With less strict standards we can get more Luna and other things they held back on.

Not sure if good for writers or bad for audience expectations.

Not at all.

Just more supposedly "scary" or "iffy" things. "Iffy" a term that somehow applies to Luna because she's "dark" and night themed.

Keeping Luna out because she's the princess of the night is the most stupidest reason ever.
Especially since there was a strong distinction between Nightmare Moon and Luna, and the Night is beautiful, Twilight has even a star as her cutie mark.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think the EI logo comes as goes during the episode.

The show's still been really awesome even when it was bound to the e/i code, but if no e/i means more stuff like Discord and chocolate rain, I'm looking forward to it.

The e/i watermark doesn't have to be there throughout the whole show, only for like the first minute or two after the ratings note (the TV-Y) disappears. in other words, the first couple of minutes when a show starts or right after a commercial break. the bottom screenshot unfortunately proves nothing.

Now as much as I'd love for FiM to drop e/i, I doubt they did. Lauren said as much when she complained about how hamstrung the writers are.

It's sad (& dumb). e/i standards are SO strict, it actually keeps writers from being educational or informative.

I have to wonder if the adverts for Apple Jacks and chocolate milk might trigger an FCC fine against Hub if someone wants to push it. One of the E/I rules states that the TV show cannot have product ads that tie-into the program. It's a long shot, but there might be a chance.

Also, Hub is in violation of E/I standards by not having the logo displayed during the entire episode. This has been mandatory since 2004.

Now let's see if Wikipedia was lying to me. Can't be though, the Internet never lies...

As long as they keep the same style or writing. Maybe occasionally toss in a subtle adult reference the kiddies won't get.

If Spongebob and Rocko can get away with it, I think MLP can too.

That would be all fine and dandy if the Hub was a public station, but seeing as it's only available by entering into a contract with another company, that gives it out, and provides content, I'd say no.

Dealingwith cable and sattelite, the FCC only goes as far as making sure the boxes used don't interfere with radio freequencies.

sooo... how did ei affect the writing of episodes for season 1, exactly? (i'm not from us so i'm not familiar with that)

the less references in the show, the better. (Chocolate rain made sense given the context, but I hope it's not a "promise" of future references to come)

either way, I hope this means they can "get away with" more stuff :D

Also, we may not have "Dear Princess Celestia..." letters at the end!
