All is not well at the ranch. Loved the reference to Catch-22. I like how you're actually putting Danny and Molly to good use.

Working on episode 9. I'm trying to give the Moochick more of a back story and I hope people like what I'm doing with him.
I was if anyone with any artistic talent is reading this. I would like designs of the characters, but I can't draw at all. For one thing, I'm torn between if the ponies should look like the Faust's designs or Takashi's (Rescue at Midnight Castle.)

I personally like the Toei design better, but most people today would probably prefer Faust's.
I 'm interested to see what you do with the moochick, especially with the backstory I gave him! XD

I liked Takashi's the best. They really looked like ponies.
Episode 9 is written. Just have to proofread it.
I introduce nine canon mares bringing the number on my list that have yet to appear down to ten. I've got introductions planned for the remaining ten by the end of the first season. As for the stallion, Steamer, Barnacle, Wigwam, and Sunburst are the only canon stallions yet to appear on screen. I've got plans for Wigwam this season. The others I have plans for, but I don't know if they'd fit in the first season or if another opportunity to introduce them will arise.

I'll look into that.
What do people think of my portrayal of the Moochick and his place in life?
EDIT: I didn't see what you mean. I used "the" a lot, but it was "the six mares" or "the four stallions." However, I noticed I put "was" instead of "with."

Reading it now. I'm going to have to start remembering to put in more scenes of the ponies just hanging around, myself.

Not bad. He's no as forgetful as in the original, but I rather like the old, seasoned magician seeking a purpose in life in his golden years.

I was wanted him to come off more as aloof than senile (he's not calling Megan a strange-looking pony.) Though, he's very disorganized, so once he has his home built and filled it with his stuff, he'll have to search for what he's looking for.
I was hoping people would notice the parodies and shoutouts like Sparkler's Jaws parody.
I'm also looking for some input. I'm wondering where I should go to request artwork. I've also been wracking my brain as to what the opening would be like. Any ideas?

Perhaps.
I'm working on episode 10 which deals with how ponies got certain objects. I'm talking about the baby sea ponies' (or sea pony foals as I'm calling them) floats and to a lesser extant tail bows. I'm actually thinking of having a bit of side plot in the Bushwooly episode about them as Gusty comes to grips with a secret that could shatter her reputation as a tomcolt.
Speaking of colts, I'm going to be introducing some sea pony colts.

I finally started working on Episode 11. We're going to be introduced to Legends answer to the CMC. However, instead of looking for their emblems (because they're getting them when they grow their adult coats regardless) they're on the lookout for adventure like they see their mothers and older sister doing.
Also, you probably know my position on Baby/Little Lickety-Split. If not, see my review of the My Little Pony movie. Well, she's taking Diamond Tiara's role. Lickety-Split isn't rich, but her daughter is still an arrogant, obnoxious, self-centered jerk towards her fellow fillies and colts.

1x11: Junior LeagueI had a very different image for this episode when I came up with the concept. I ended up dropping Molly from episode mostly. While she'll have adventures with the "Phenomenal Fillies," it won't be continuous. I also ended up making this a very Gusty heavy episode. Anyway, check it out and tell me what you think.
