It\u2019s Pony \/ Nickelodeon \/ 2020 – Present<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simply put, this show does not try hard to be cool. The writing doesn\u2019t use \u201ccool\u201d language and it doesn\u2019t waste time with useless filler talk. The closest the show got to being \u201ccool\u201d was that video game episode (Game Horse) but it was still decent. The episodes are just the adventures of Annie and Pony venturing the city and getting into mischief. How much more can you simplify that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The British roots really manifest on this show. Firstly, Ant Blades, the creator, is British. Blue Zoo, the production company, is England-based. It’s also clear that the intro was sung by a British singer (listen carefully when you hear the intro). Even a few of the characters are British (Annie’s mom, other assorted characters). Despite that, it’s a show with British roots made for Nickelodeon\u2019s American audience. It\u2019s a lovely blend of British and American with neither side overpowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The theme song is really catchy. People may complain about the repetitiveness but it’s still a theme song nonetheless, better than many openings these days or the lack of one. The country music sound is nice. When the song first got in my head, the rapid-moving guitar accompaniment gave me the feel of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up (When It’s All Over).” I\u2019m making new memories with this theme. On recent Saturday mornings at 10:30, I\u2019ve eaten my cereal, and it\u2019s time to watch \u201cIt\u2019s Pony.\u201d \u201cPony on the sixth floor, Pony in the bathroom, Pony in the kitchen, Pony on the school bus, Pony, Pony, Pony…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n After you watch your first episode, the show’s delivery may feel a bit bland. Even though you may not feel interested at first view, don’t give up hope. It may take several more episodes before the show grows on you. Do you want Nickelodeon to show nice, down-to-earth shows with kids and their fantasy animals going on adventures or do you want shows that have been making episodes for 15+ years that are going stale with time or shows that are the 10th horrible spin-off on an existing property? Think about that as you decide whether or not to shun “It’s Pony” off your watchlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I will support \u201cIt\u2019s Pony\u201d until the end. I can\u2019t guarantee I\u2019ll be watching all the showings live on Nick or Nicktoons but I\u2019ll do what I can. Pretty much, the last original property Nickelodeon released was \u201cThe Loud House\u201d in 2016. \u201cIt\u2019s Pony\u201d premiered barely 4 years later. I hope with our continued support will give Nickelodeon the idea that original, creator-driven shows are what we want, not cash cows. \u201cIt\u2019s Pony\u201d does not deserve to die on Nicktoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As long as we keep watch, it will always be Pony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Posted: 12 April 2020 It\u2019s Pony \/ Nickelodeon \/ 2020 – Present Simply put, this show does not try hard to be cool.
