This might seem a little obvious but it just occurred to me the other day. Bojack is a horse, horses used to be animals that were used all the time. But as time went on people used them less and less with the rise of automobiles. Eventually horses fell out of popular use. I could see this maybe being an analogy for Bojack, his rise to fame and then his fall into insignificance. What do you guys think, was it intentional?
this probably isn’t it but there was a sitcom with a talking horse called “Mr. Ed” back in the 60s, at least one of the writers knows about it cuz they reference the shows theme song in one episode, but it’s likely incidental. it would be funny if they wanted to explore what the talking horse’s life was like after being a widely famous tv celebrity, obviously unlikely but would be funny.
