Oh! I don't have cable, so thanks for the heads up!
Wow.. interesting! I did see the box of ponies, you have to watch the full episode to see it.
You know, I can see how easy it would be to get your house covered in things like that. Especially regarding toys from my childhood. Luckily, the only toys that I have kept were MLP. I only have one small box of "other" toys from childhood.
Also, I've always felt that my attachment to MLP was "enabled" by my Mother, who had me when she was 15. Maybe because she had me so young, that's why she encouraged my collecting and even helped as much as she did. I also was an only child for most of my life, and I moved around a lot, both which are reasons that I thought I love my ponies so much.
Q:
Do you think MLP collecting is a type of hoarding?
