In response to hammer asking why older people enjoy in, and in response to Arc's comment on things in the show that older people would get but little girls would not, I would like to point a couple of things out:
--A certain episode ends in a basic, incredibly obvious reference to "A New Hope." Now, unless your daughter has watched "A New Hope" at 3.5 years old, I'd say that's clearly a reference
designed for older fans.
Not a case of older fans latching onto something that doesn't belond to them/
--This one's my favorite. In "A Dog and Pony Show" One of the characters says something to another: "Hi-ho Twilight, Away!"
Do you know what that's from?
It's from a radio drama that's about fifty years old. Oh, by the way, that also died fifty years ago. No young girl is going to know that, I gau--ran--tee it. Nor some of the younger "older" fans for that matter. It was clearly and inexplicably designed for people who are old enough to know the joke, or people with parents old enough to know the joke (who may have told their children). And no young girl's parents are going to be old enough to know that joke.
And another point is, if you were to look at the show, if you were to watch an episode--it isn't sweet and sugary. It''s NOT everything tossed into varying shades of pink with enough estrogen to make a lumberjack need a sex change. It's NOT that. It's the very opposite, in fact. None of the characters acts excessively girly, they act like normal people. And even the pink one is rowdy and rambunctious, not frilly and girly.
...I bet that a large chunk of BSN wouldn't get that second reference.
