Discussion: Season 1 Discussion Thread


If you came here for a new episode, then I'm sorry to say there is no new episode, and there will be no more until the fall.

However, since you're already here, let's have a discussion! We've been through a lot these past 5.5 months- 26 episodes, countless guest pets, numerous plots - and, obviously, you've stuck around this long cause you like the show.

So we want to here your review! What do you think of Season 1? What were the show's strengths and weaknesses? What did you enjoy most about watching each show? Who's your favorite character? Least favorite character? What's your favorite and least favorite song?

You guys write such great reviews of each episode in the comments, now try it for the whole season!





Buttercream Bonus: Try discussing Season 1 of "Littlest Pet Shop" without mentioning "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"!


"Buttercream Bonus" is a small challenge that is added at the beginning of each discussion thread. Commenters are not required to take the "Buttercream Bonus", but are encouraged and challenged to.

Last weekend, at the LA Festival of Books in Los Angeles, the Hub network took the opportunity to host a premiere pre-screening of "Summertime Blues", including a Q&A with show creators Julie McNally Cahill and Tim Cahill! (Did you attend the screening? Tell us in the comments below)

2 BROKE GEEKS had its own interview with the Cahills at the screening, where they asked questions like how they got into animation, how they met, what they think fans of the show should be called (brace yourself), what they geek out about, plus much more! And the best part is: they filmed it!

So go watch after the break!

"Summertime Blues" - Discussions/Streams


The last episode of Littlest Pet Shop...premieres today. Well, of Season 1, that is.

I remember when the first episode aired last November. We were but a few souls who were brave enough to try out this brand new show on The Hub. And what we got was something amazing. Extraordinary. And, 5 1/2 months later, we are hundreds upon hundreds of artists, musicians, writers, and ordinary people from all walks of life, all over the world, who fell in love with a good TV show, and are brave enough to say they love "Littlest Pet Shop". We are a fandom. We are a community.


The season 1 finale, Episode 26, airs at 11:30am ET / 8:30am PT.

If you have a YouTube video link, please send it to us (ThePetShopInsider@live.com). Do NOT post it in the comments below. Comments with the YouTube link will be deleted.

And don't forget this is also a discussion board, so go ahead and discuss in the comments below! Got conspiracies, questions, hopes, reactions? Post them in the comments below!

When you guys head over to watch the livestream, take a second to write something nice for Haxmega in the chatroom. Not all of us are lucky enough to have The Hub on our own televisions, and every Saturday, Haxmega goes through the trouble of making sure those who need to can watch the new episode live. Or, like, buy him a card or something.
