Anyone watch them (and by TV show I mean "My Little Pony 'n Friends)? I just watched them recently on dailymotion and found them to be pretty good, better than MLP FiM even.

Yeah, they're good, obviously not as good as Tales, but definitely better than seasons 3-5 of FiM. Although they do suffer from poor animation and weak characterizations (although there are exceptions to these rules) they still have great stories and are classics. Besides, they're the genesis for MLP media, without G1, we wouldn't have Tales, now would we?  |

I've found myself liking the "Call Upon the Sea Ponies" song.

I assure you that pretty much everyone is a fan of the song, to the point where bronies attempt to insert them into the FiM canon for some weird, unknown reason.

With the way Breezies were handled, I don't think sea ponies would be quite as good as they are here if they were added to FiM.

Yeah, the Breezies somehow turned from cute insect ponies to... Some really creepy mutants. Furthermore, they were only one-shots that didn't really need to be resurrected from G3. I guess it was for familiarity? Considering how much fanservice FiM tends to throw in these days (for example, the Luna episode was basically only created as a fanservice farce), I'm kinda surprised that character names from the much-hated G3 were thrown in.

Pretty much that's all the show seems to be is Brony fanservice. The random Slenderman inclusion didn't even have to be there.

You probably mean seasons 4-5 of the show. The first three seasons didn't have much in the way of fanservice, except the Derpy shots. It seems that by this point all the show wants to do is pander to the bronies by throwing in as many references and fanservice as possible, resulting in episodes like the Luna episode which didn't care how it handled the message of self-harm so long as it could throw a ton of brony fanservice in our faces.

I think that shows they're running out of ideas, though we have a sixth season to look forward to in May 2016.

I'm hopeful that the sixth season will be decent. Season 4 was pretty meh, and Season 5 was flat-out disappointing, but hopefully the impending sixth season will take a break from all the really obvious fanservice and perhaps actually deliver a good, heartfelt episode every once in a while (lookin' at you, Amending Fences, now THAT was a great episode).

There's also the 4th Equestria Girls movie confirmed for Fall 2016.
