I know we all want it to last forever but some day it's going to come to an end. How long do you think it'll last?
I personally think it'll go through 5 or 6 seasons and a DVD release short film.
The brony community however, will last a lifetime :3
Yeah, it should get pretty far, especially considering there are bronies out there who love the show enough to get tattoos of it. I'm serious. Tattoos.. :I

Each season produced should contain 26 episodes, something about a contract they sign before production, not too sure about that though so don't quote me.
I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

Alrighty then!
I'm just going to wildly guess that it will last anywhere from 6-8 seasons.
I'll play it safe and say four seasons. Let's not forget that, although it can be grand good for any programme to last a long time, the creators have got to be careful not to let the show decline in quality over the years.
Seasons 1 and 2 were fantastic, baring like, three episodes I wasn't so sure about, but that's just my opinion. I'd rather have FIM comprised of four or even just three seasons of perfect story than twenty-odd that'll gradually decrease in quality as they run out of good ideas, until it becomes an abomination (Eg: The Simpsons).
Whenever it ends, it should end in a really good final few, consecutive episodes. Followed by a movie ofc :D

aka until all the brony dies!
And they won't! I'm going to call all my kids fluttershy!
Nan, just kidding, just one and the others will be called by background characters.
considering that Studio B and hasbro has been putting all its effort and time into the new show Carebears with only 20% of the original staff left on MLP:FIM and the fact that Lauren Faust now has completely left all the story and writing to Amy and her team of writers... I give it til season 4 realistically, BUT I'm hoping for 8 seasons. The only thing that can keep it afloat is if the merchandise keeps selling and the ratings keep in high numbers. The owners Hasbro after all are a toy company and the cartoons are developed only to sell toys.
It's already submitted that Season 3 will have 13 episodes. And what comes to my mind, is that s3 is the last one. Because... it's easy to deduct: Season 1 & 2 both had 26 episodes. And if it's said that S3 is going to have only 13 episodes, then it looks like an end of MLP:FiM to me...
But a small part of me says that MLP:FiM Season 4 with more than 10 episodes will be the last.
under personal opinion the show will last as long as there is a high number of the viewing audiance for the show which at the moment is high as shown by us but the show will be tougher to maintain if the show becomes to easly available for free online and what not so as long as we suport the offical release the show should maintain its quality standerd as well as its screen time as for why the next season is shorter prehaps there is a problem with development and by reducing the nuber of episodes they have more time to produce them but again this is all theory

actually only 13 episodes have been CONFIRMED. meaning that they have already made 13 episodes into season 3 and they are still making more. The process takes 3 months per episode to make and they work on up to 4 at a time, so they actually wont finish making the full 26 episodes until season 3 is almost ready to start. 26 Episodes per season is what they contract out at a time which they use to fit on the Hub's scheduled line up. I doubt seriously that it's the last season since they have 3 more lines of toys being produced still and 2 lines being released late this fall.

Carebears?! That won't be as good 'cause Lauren Faust isn't there to say "This is too girly and babyish." And if I'm right, then I'm gonna laugh when anti-bronies go "Pfff bronies are probably gonna start watching Carebears too" and their surprise if/when we show no interest in it.
True, so true. :]
Not trying to get anyones hopes up but think of it like this. If the original MLP that had little to no ran for about 8 years imagine how long MLP will last now that it has a massive culture behind it. Again not trying to get anyones hopes up ya know. Im just saying........
Anyone else hoping that before it ends they make a spinoff season eventually in the future, possibly about the cutie mark crusaders when they're older I think those characters alone could merit a pretty good side story to some extent.
I'm betting for two more seasons, even if the series ends, the fanbase will be around for a long time making fan ficts and other media creations.
Top Draw has gotten a order for 13 episodes. Top Draw is hired by DHX Media. Therefore it's realistic that DHX Media has a order of episodes to?
Care Bears yes, but have you tough of maybe it's another department of DHX Media that creates it? If you didn't know the show will be 3d animated. Not 2D.
again its all about toy sales... to give you an example of a toy company putting out a tv show to sell toys look back to 1991 at the show Bucky O'Hare. It was a cartoon that put out 13 episodes for its first season to sell toys... because of a mix up in shipping orders they shipped out the small robot Blinky in double orders and no Bucky (the title hero) so sales bottomed out and the show was promptly cancelled only leaving the 13 episodes in existance.... the toys are what keep the show going so if you want MLP to last 8 seasons like the first generation (which was the most popular selling toys in the 1980s) then keep buying the toys.
MLP: FIM will be over when nintendo makes a pokemon MMO for mature audiences.
I'm hoping to at least 5. But man, lot of variables in play. Toy sales, ratings, how many ideas are left...If it can get that far, i'll be impressed.
I'm gonna go with 4 seasons too.
Although I wish it would go on longer! >A<
This topic is making me feel depressed.
my first post on this thread says it will never die
The show will continue as long as there's money to be made with it, simple as that. The toys are where they get most of the profit from, not the show.
Something tells me that, after a while, the show will have a severe decline in quality. (Of course I hope I'm wrong.) If I had to guess, I'd give it to season 5-6 before it ends.
The brony community, however, will last LONG after the show ends. I'm sure some bronys will just pack up and leave, but the ones involved with the community will be around for years. Look at Star Wars, that still has a massive fan base.
Though it will be a sad day when the show comes to an end, we need to remember that the community is what made the show as special as it was.

Oh gosh I know DD:
I'd say further than Spiral Knights and, should it continue the way it's going, Diablo 3.
I'm actually hoping MLP FIM would last a very 1ong time, I'm not even going to bother to estimate how long. It been a long time sense I been so into a show and who would of thought it would MLP. A series of toys I hated growing up. Even if the shows ends I'm never going to grow out of it because I never grow out of anything. I'm still collecting anime and buying retro games. So I'm just happy it stills comes on.
Honestly, if done right I think something like MLP (the one we love) can last forever.
It just has to be paced right and not milked to death.
I know this isn't entirely possible though when it comes to the people who make it.
I'm sure they love what they made but I doubt they could spend the rest of their lives on it.
I'm hoping for 5 seasons, but after reading this thread 4 seasons sounds doubtful :'(

I heard on EQ that two studio's create the episodes and that they split the workload 50/50
I am expecting 6 seasons atleast and 8 at most. I am also hoping for a movie that goes at least 1 1/2 hours. But also there may be another generation after this one, and if they pay attention to how well this one went over, then maybe make it as similar as possible. But I am just hoping that it doesn't die after the 3rd or 4th season.
I'd say it's going to be like the next Spongebob, Simpsons, Fairly Oddparents.
Cartoons typically last longer than other shows, I say it has a good 7 seasons, as long as the writers keep coming up with new ideas it'll last ...... FOREVER. ovO

BTW, I think that Season 3 has "just" that amount of episodes because that number will get the show to enter in syndication, but that's just what I've heard so far.
since Lauren Faust left, you can really tell the difference....someone made me notice that some episodes are badly written.
I have to admit.....seriously for example, a brother coming out by nowhere, an Alicorn as a babysitter and a sister that loves so much her brother that she never spoke a word about him until now...YEAH right!!!

I'll admit that the last two episodes almost stumbled into fanfic territory, but it was still well-written. (The wedding, changlings, songs... All amazing!)
I mean, obviously Lauren never planned any brother, otherwise he would've been there for Twilight's entrance test into the school for unicorns.
Now for the actual topic, I'd estimate atleast 4 seasons, to about 8. It just seems like the logical course of action for a popular cartoon series.

small off topic again, I'm not concerned about what happens In the episodes, no matter how well they are written, or the opposite.
The fact is, if no brother was planned and they came up with that idea just now and they forced him into the story, that rings a bell for me....makes me think they're almost out of ideas...and that scares me a little...that's what I was saying
but still, This Day Aria had a wonderful Disney "feel" that gave me the chills.....so epic, amazing voice too :)
The season finale was more along the lines of a movie, this means it will never be mentioned in the real show and the makers are allowed to make stuff up to create action or drama.

The thing is, maybe the new team isn't as aware of bronies as Lauren was (correct me if I'm wrong here please! >.<)? And most little girls won't notice if they didn't introduce 'x' character in 'x' episode.
I want it to last forever...
Buuut unfortunately all good things come to an inevitable end, therefore I say that this show will last maybe up to season 7-8. MAYBE.
insane answer mode initiated... forever ovO
Sadly i dont think its going to last to long.. i have a good feeling that season 3 is not going to be as good as we think it will be. Saying this that will make some fan stop watching it. The original idea that were put in the show, will never really come out, and soon because the main creator left the story wont be as good. :'(
But i still think they will make a movie! <3
I don´t care if season 3 will be bad, I don´t care if there won´t be any seasons after that. But I know that i´ll watch Friendship is magic until i´m old and grey.
8-10 seasons.

I'd say they are MORE than aware than the last team
because in 2 episodes they showed Vinyl true eye color, a cameo ponyfication of a writer of the show( the most badass with the italian name that I can't remember now lol) and a more "mature" feel.
cmon you can't seriously think of the wedding as a little girls show, Chrisalys was more than scary XD

Agreed, season 2 was awesome ^-^
They just can't discontinue this show. We will donate them buying their toys till there are bronies on this world and till this show is better than older generations. Seriously, in 10 or more years I want to see picture of mane 6 with text below "if you remember this your adulthood was awesome". Let's make it more popular than other cartoon creators could dream of.

8 seasons, like in my little dashie xD
It will depend how many situations the characters can be put in. Perhaps some of the producers or writers would rather cancel the show once they run out of ideas rather than, excuse me for the pun, beating a dead horse and spit out mediocre episodes. Although this may very well happen regardless of what some of the staff may think, many bronies would gladly eat up a new episode of MLP and the target audience (As in young girls between 5 and 12) wouldn't see much of a difference. Not implying that all bronies and young girls are like this, I'm sure the majority of us have common sense, but as long as we continue watching the show and buying the products they will continue making episodes. To put it in layman's terms, I predict the show's gonna go on for about seven seasons and maybe have a feature length movie or two.
My psychic powers tell me... eight seasons and a movie!
Ok maybe I don't have those but still.
I actually am hoping for that movie though, so long as some people stay the heck away from it.
*Glares angrily at Michael Bay*
i'm gonna make my call at 5. give or take one season, of course. the whole "13 episode" thing could mean ANYTHING. personally, to me, it seems out of place to call it quits as the show's popularity is rising. i can see reaching the pinnacle, and then letting it go on a high note, but we're not at the pinnacle yet. we're still growing.
to be honest, i think the 13 episodes might mean something else. with the last two seasons, it ran almost like a situational show. each episode was its own story (ruling out the 2 parter episodes), and was resolved within the episode. what could happen is that season three will take a more story-based approach. where, although there is a conflict in each episode, they're all stepping-stones of sorts for a big, overarching conflict. like Legend of Korra. that was an 11 episode season, but i doubt it's the last. so, maybe 13 episodes is done to create one larger story for the season, without having to overly stretch it over 26 episodes. i can't imagine this dying right now. maybe after season 4, (one can only hope its longer than that), but not with season 3 being the last.
but that being said, even if season 3 is the last, i can almost imagine a possible movie, but thats not the important thing. i can't see the brony community dying anytime soon. even if season 3 is the end, we will live on. for a LONG time. take the original Avatar the Last Airbender series. (i know. i'm using that series a lot. i LOVE it. don't judge me.) it only went 3 seasons. but people have been CRAZY into it since. to the point where they rebooted it with Legend of Korra. so, maybe this is just a smaller season to facilitate whatever it is they have planned. either way, if it ends with s3, it ends with s3. i think it will be a FANTASTIC season, and it'd be better to end on a high note than to drag out until noone likes it anymore.
Seriously, don't believe that whole 13 episode rumor, the same rumor happened before season 2 was even announced
if anything, it's probably just 13 confirmed episodes. not a confirmed 13 episode season.

65$, tha fluck??? (Yes, I said FLUCK)
if that's the standard price for a toy, I bet Hasbro will place more funds for the show, it's clearly attracting more people than It was intended so....I'm afraid to admit but...it's an economical advantage if they keep the show up, it's sad to think it this way but I don't give a lot of

I just want it to continue, don't mock at me for my previous statement please XD

People have no Idea what decisive evidence ,and proof mean these days.
After season 3 I think that's it :x. I'd love for Lauren to continue but . . . I think her eyes are drifting to other projects now. And I for one, ain't gonna force her into hating the show.
Of course if she continues I'l throw my hat in the air and celebrate like there is no tomorrow!

Do you have proof?Do you have even a lead towards it?No claims can't be made without a single piece of evidence ,and why start rumors?Besides I think powerpuff girls ,and fosters home for imaginary friends are over well its either that or I can't find them ,and I doubt she will get rid of her best project the one that has taken over the internet made many conventions ,and has many cosplays she gains money ,and fame out of it.
No, proof only conjecture and what I'm feeling. I hope I'm completly wrong but this was a thread on how far we "think" the series will go. I know it's upseting but that's what I think :'(.
I suppose if I must give some evidence, the new show she is making is being discussed. At least so I have heard . . . but I hope I'm wrong. Would be nice to see MLP continue on for a good long time.
As for rumors I acknowledge that these statement are created fully and absolutely by my own thoughts.
I don't want it to end, but i would say 5-6 seasons and maybe it will start to degrade. I would enjoy a movie although :)

aka until all the brony dies!
And they won't! I'm going to call all my kids fluttershy!
Nan, just kidding, just one and the others will be called by background characters.
Something popped in my head that would happen lol
You: Fluttershy, come on!
Fluttershy: But there are kids out there!
You: There your sisters and brothers :l
Fluttershy: But they're older than me! >.<
You: Derpy! Scootaloo! Big Macintosh! Where are you?!
Derpy: Derp Derp :P
Scootaloo: Thats not how you call a chicken!
You: :l
Big Macintosh: Eeyup
You: :l
Me: lol
That's so full of win, I don't know where to start... lol
I personally think because of the growing pony fan community It could last a long time, well if it doesn't degrade in quality
I'll take the advice of some of the posts and say: I hope it lasts for only 4 Seasons!
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the show! It has great graphics, beautiful environment, a big variety of character personalities, tons of references, and awesome stories (For the most part)! And thanks to the fan base, it just makes the show even more interesting to watch! But that's why I want it to end this soon. The show has to end while it's still good, rather than when it's played out. I want them to quit while their still ahead, and stop before they embarrass themselves. Although the show will be missed, wouldn't you want to remember it as a once in a life time epic event, rather than something that people will start to hate and troll because of how played out or bad it is? I don't know about you guys, but I sure would.

Thats no reason at all:
1.If the shows ratings drop hasbro will close it as fast as they can making only one bad episode.
2.How do you know it will turn out bad?Aslong as it has the people who worked on old fashion shows this one will rock.
3.It will increase the troll rate everyone will say:Hah we knew you bronies wouldn't last.
5.We would have to live without my little pony because some of us fear it may lose its touch.
6.We will remember the good times if it turned bad anyway.
7.The brony group will be disbanded without a show to stand on .
8.We will have nothing peaceful we will have to watch explosions ,and guns all the time for entertainment.
9.Whats to gain?Nothing even if the show turns bad its not like we will hate it completely for it unless it was another series like a G5.
10.even if it ends bad hasbro learned what to do with a franchise they will just do the same with a G5.
11.Seriously?Who cares when it ends we will get more good episodes before that happens ,and I doubt that will happen anyway.
12.Everything we worked on ends.LoE ,fansites ,bronycon ,canterlot gardens everything will have no base it will all colapse.
13.Whats to gain?Having a no bad episode streak?Its not like anyone will care because it will end ,and they will forget it.
14.It can be remembered for many good things ,and a few bad things instead a few good things ,and no bad things.
15.The haters will celebrate trolling us saying see you're stupid show has bad ratings it ended fast.

Really, it's that good -
well if I throw away my discussion sense now, I'd say no, Hasbro will not stop the series.
....
because if they did they'd be initiating the biggest riot in history ovO ovO

It's already submitted that Season 3 will have 13 episodes. And what comes to my mind, is that s3 is the last one. Because... it's easy to deduct: Season 1 & 2 both had 26 episodes. And if it's said that S3 is going to have only 13 episodes, then it looks like an end of MLP:FiM to me...
But a small part of me says that MLP:FiM Season 4 with more than 10 episodes will be the last.
If the DVD sales stay strong (as they are in Australia), then Hasbro might support an MLP:FIM revival. As always, companies will see it in pure $ and cents - if there's a high enough profit, they'll continue, if not they won't. Then again, if they decide to stop, it'd be awesome if they made the characters, etc all creative commons. I wouldn't care if they stopped after season 3 provided the fan fics/animations could continue FOREVER, and completely legally :) Admittedly, there'd be no more cannon, unless Lauren set up an MLP:FIM approval blog, or something :P
Then again, there's plenty of fan fic for the writers to trawl for story ideas; certainly already enough for several more seasons :)

Buuut... As others have said in this very thread, there's also the possibility that only 13 have been CONFIRMED, not that there will only be 13. Also, there's a chance it'll just be a shorter season, like others mentioned.
Stay positive My Little Ponies! ^-^
I hope it's not only 13 episodes...that's not a good number to have... X3

What if they're doing a 16 episode season 3, and then following it up with a 16 episode season 4 with less downtime in between?
:/

I like the way you think, Mr.
Or maybe they made season 3 shorter so they could make season 4 even longer. ovO

That will work too :D
26 episodes in one season is a huge amount for any show. Especially for a show that is now trying to have great musical numbers that I would personally expect from a movie. Keep in mind that quite a few shows have a lot less episodes per season. Like for example, The Walking Dead which is also a huge hit. Thirteen episodes for a season is plenty as far as I'm concerned. ^-^ Especially because with less episodes, the staff can focus more on quality rather than quantity.
The show has such a huge following that unless it's just some fad that's going to die down (which is sadly possible), I'd say it can easily last another 8 seasons at this rate. But that's assuming that the show's quality wont start to die down.
Maybe they want to make a movie or two? :s

There should be an asterisk next to mlp and down below in small text, it should read,"Rainbow Dash was here."
I give a face hoof to all of you complaining about season 3 being 13 episodes.
A guy working for the show said that other seasons will be longer , and shorter so for all we know season 4 might be 50 episodes.

Oh, hay yes! >:O
I chose to look at it in this perspective.
I have looked into other large fandoms, such as Star Trek / Star Wars, Naruto, Bleach, Nintendo in general, Halo, a little bit of WoW, and some, well, less friendly stuff. *shudder* Point being, MLP: FiM has one of the largest fandoms out there! Not only that, but it
Looking at it in this light, I believe it will stick around for quite some time. Will it be FiM? Maybe not, but they'll definitely have MLP. Oh, and the animation will most likely stay, what with all the animation fans out there. I have no worries that it will last.
Even if the show gets knocked off for whatever reason, I imagine that with the success of it all Hasbro would put money into making straight-to-video/TV movies. Which in a way might be a great idea in itself because... more pony time :U
If season 3 is good I think it'll last a good 3 more years if not... I'll give it 2 years at best
