When I was little, Alice in Wonderland just bored me. Pinocchio was the one that scared the life out of me! I STILL can't watch the Pleasure Island scenes! >_<
The Spike/Rarity thing isn't treated like a serious "romance"; more like a little boy having a crush on his big sister's pretty friend (kinda like Trent & Daria). If it was treated seriously it would creep me out, too.
Really, you ought to be horrified that the first season did well enough to even get a second season. Seems the target audience liked what it saw, for better, or for worse.
It's weird that so many people like the show because it makes me feel like one of those "moral crusaders" who goes out of their way to find offensive things where they clearly don't exist. :(
Also, even if the awful romantic plots don't bug most people, I still can't believe the plot holes and bad writing didn't sink the show. I mean, this show's big selling point (the one that supposedly makes it so "mature") is having an ongoing plot/mystery spanning multiple seasons. But there are episodes of Pup Named Scooby Doo that have more well constructed and logical plots/mysteries than this thing does!
