Generation 1 rolled out in [[1982]], with its [[Year 1]] line lasting until, shockingly enough, [[1983]]. This was the only wave of toys that Zacherle worked on and she cut her ties with [[Hasbro]] in around 1983. Aside from commercials, ''My Little Pony'' would become a mass-media franchise in [[1984]] with ''[[My Little Pony: Escape From Midnight Castle]]'', which expanded the world and scope of the series, now introducing human characters such as {{MLP|Megan Williams}} and fan-favorite villain, {{MLP|Tirac}}.

The TV series only lasted two years from [[1985]]-[[1986]], with approximately 65 episodes, a not unimpressive achievement. However, it was followed up by ''[[My Little Pony Tales]]'' in late [[1992]], though that series would prove unsuccessful and only lasted a season. In contrast to the fantastical nature of the previous canon, the ''Tales'' continuity was far more grounded, taking place in a modern town and generally dealt with reasonable issues such as young romance, bullying, and dragons. Yes, despite being characterized by the fandom as the 'realistic' series, ''Tales'' had its fair share of supernatural elements such as aforementioned [[Bazzle|dragons]], [[Squire|ghosts]], and [[UFO|magic]].
