Description
EqD Article: www.equestriadaily.com/2012/06β¦Excel sheet download: (see link to seasons 1-3)
Depending on the number of characters present and frequency of shots' changes, analyzing each episode took from less than an hour up to three.
Estimated total time spent: 110 - 150 hours.
Margin of error:
Since the timers of the video players I used show only full seconds, I had to guess how the fractions of seconds were long when added up together.
On average, in each episode there may be a 10 second difference between the real screentime of a character and the screentime I calculated - but since it can be either more or less than reality, given the number of episodes and the fact that all of the characters are prone to this miscalculation, the overall screentime difference will probably be negligable.

Things I noticed that make me sad!:
Rainbow Dash has the most episodes with 5 seconds or less out of the ponies with 10 (Spike has 12).
Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy share a 3-way tie for 7 flat-out no-shows (Rarity has 6, Applejack has 4, and Twilight has 3).
AJ is the only pony that doesn't solo star in an episode (based on the criteria of having 200 more seconds of screen time over the number 2 pony or 2 bars based on the chart).
Also, it would be nice to do a season 1 vs season 2 overall comparison.

Rainbow Dash less screen time than Rarity?

Pinkie is the pony that had had the most impressive peaks in the show. But my favorite ponies are Twilight and Rarity.

For all that chart size, i cant tell who had THE MOST AIRTIMe,on a side note, Somone should be paying you for this, What with the whole 150 hours clocked on it, in two years i played 358 hours of TF2 ._.

Sweet Celestial that's a lot of data (and time).
By the way, did you analyze each episode as they originally aired on the Hub or all at once. Either way, this chart must've taken a lot of patience!

After a week-long break, the second season - also one ep a day until I reached 2x21 - the newest one at the time.
Then, a month after Ponyville's population analysis, I started analyzing the rest of the eps - but this time at a much slower rate (got Lazy-itus).

S2e12 was Family Appreciation day...aka a CMC episode.

Twilight having the most screen time makes sense, but some of the others were a bit surprising. Also, you gotta have endless patience for something like this, so great work. Seriously.
I also agree with the top two spots on this list.

It's ok that Fluttershy has the least screen time of the mane 6, she is till best pony.

You are a beautiful person. I just wanted you to know that. Your maths make my day every time.
π: 0 β©: 0
wow. rarity has a bit more screentime than RD.
and FS has less screentime than i thought. less than AJ no less.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think AJ is crying happy tears that she finally isnΒ΄t last in something. Poor girl, always ends up in the last places in the best pony polls.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah. she's pretty underrated. she needs more love!
oh, and of course spike has the least screentime out of all the main characters.
poor him, being the only guy and dragon in the show.

So, quick question: How are there episodes that only have one of the above ponies in them? I know that "Hearts and Hooves Day" would be a contender, but there aren't any others I can think of. =/
π: 0 β©: 1
Family Appreciation Day is the episode where only Applejack appeared.
Hearts and Hooves Day is the episode only Twilight appeared.

Ohh, okay. I was seriously beating myself up trying to figure out what the other episode was. Thank you for freeing me of my burden!

>Fluttershy coming last for the mane six
I approve

She may not have that much screentime, but when she does it is special

We need more Twilight in season 3! XDDDDD

Yes! The dispute is finally over! Now there is proof!

The disputes will never be over; some people might still argue that I was drunk while making the analysis.
I promise that I was sober... but how can anyone be sure that I am not lying?

1. Twilight Sparkle
2. Pinkie Pie
3. Rarity
4. Rainbow Dash
5. Applejack
6. Fluttershy
7. Spike
Interesting. This is dangerously close to my "Best Pony" list with my top 3 being Pinkie, Rarity, and then Twilight. Poor fluttershy. Always worst pony.
π: 0 β©: 2
Yes! High 5 Kinetic
Those are my top 3 as well
Pinkie being first
and Rarity slowly bucking twilight out of 2nd
Also I love your pics....

Brohoof for good taste! Also, thanks.

But Fluttershy is best pony D=
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm gonna have to go with the numbers on this one, unless you want Spike to be worst pony? Do you? DO YOU?!
π: 0 β©: 1
But that's just screen time =O
π: 0 β©: 1
I think the best ponies get more screen time eh? Haha no that'd be stupid. The best pony is your favorite pony, and Fluttershy is adorable.
π: 0 β©: 0
And now you can see there is a distentive lack episode about the best pony : Applejack.
No spike of orange. But she is always around.
π: 0 β©: 1
Less Rarity, MORE APPLEJACK!

Wow, how did you count it? Watched every episode 7 times with a stop watch? 
It would have been clearer if you included episodes titles under the numbers in the graph. Doesn't have to be full title, since they get long sometimes, but just a key word or two. Also .png is better for this kind of stuff
Again, great work

I stopped the video every time a character entered/exited the screen and wrote down the time.

O.O That takes some serious dedication, my friend. You have my admiration.

All those hours spent reading up on improving my stage presence really paid off!
...I still can't believe they cut my 30 minute guitar solo in the season finale...
W-wait...h-how many people were watching me!?
Ah finally get mah own episode, and what happens? Ah get upstaged by Derpy, of all ponies!
Everypony loves me! Except the people that think I'm an offensive stereotype, but I get paid either way, so what do I care?
ARRRGH! How did I lose out to a frilly, fancy unicorn and a...a...a Pinkie Pie!
Oh, come now darling. We can't all be the star of the show, now can we?
Showbiz is like a gumball, Dashie. Hard to break into, sweet while it lasts, but pretty soon you get chewed up and spit out!
Wait...what? I'm confused; am I the gumball, or is showbiz the gumball?
...Dashie. Ponies can't be gumballs. That's just ridiculous!
