Itâs the Final Countdown
Welp, the time is nearly upon us. Saturday October 12 is when the season 9 finale will air -- and itâs also the series finale for MLP:FiM. For G4.
But wait -- Discovery Family are changing things up on us, and the live TV schedule is quite different from how it normally looks.
Weâre starting off the night on Friday at 5pm (one hour earlier than usual) for a little Random Pony intro -- but airing at 6pm is the half hour behind-the-scenes special âA Decade of Ponyâ. Now, we hope that Hasbro wouldnât put finale spoilers in this one, but we havenât seen it and we canât guarantee it, so you might want to skip it if you want to stay absolutely spoiler-free, just in case.
At 6:30pm on Friday the Random Pony continues through the night as usual, but instead of starting the Mare-a-thon around 9:40am it wonât be starting until around 11am -- and weâll be showing all of season 9. Thatâs because the finale itself isnât airing in its normal 11:30am timeslot, but instead at 8pm. Yes, you read that right. 8pm.
And the finale itself is a doozy -- itâs a triple episode, spanning an hour and a half. So youâll need to strap yourselves in for quite a ride.
After the finale, weâll be airing restreams of the Decade of Pony special (in case you skipped the earlier showing) and of the finale itself.
All in all, assuming that I donât go catatonic at some point, weâll have 30 hours straight of pure pony.
Hereâs that stream timetable again (still in Eastern US time):
