I admit I think the TTG comparisons are kinda unfair, because having seen several full episodes of TTG, (my neices & nephews like it) I don't think they're exactly alike. Their humor styles are different, their episode structure is different, and TTG is TVPG, and a bit more edgy, and sitcom-ish, while P.L. is more cartoonish. and MLP-ish.
Only similar thing is maybe the "thick outline" art style, but even that's differently drawn, and frankly TTG didn't even invent that style. Heck, TTG "ponies" don't even look like P.L. ones if you compare them.
It's also ignorant to call it "CalArts" (a term invented by that pervert John K. to bash Disney) especially, because TTG & such shows weren't invented by CalArts grad's, yet ironically Lauren Faust the one whom created "Friendship is Magic" IS from CalArts, so if you hate "CalArts," then you have to hate her, her art, and FIM/G4, instead of TTG or P.
L.
Also, many great shows with that style do exist, like Dexter's Laboratory, Two Stupid Dogs, PPG, and many classic CN & Nicktoon shows.
