The show is not as "adult" as people say it is. A lot of the episodes are simple and predictable, and I can totally understand why one would call it childish. Because, for the most part, it is. There are some adult references, but those are just that: references. Like it or not, the truth is the overall stories are tailored towards kids and their families.
Now, that said, the writers do a very good job of making the show something that's worth watching. It's a show for kids, but it's a high-quality show. It's done well, so it has many redeemable qualities. And while the show is childish at large, it is hardly girly. Aside from the fact that most of the cast is female and the rulers are princesses, the theme song is basically the most girly part of the entire show.
When it all comes down to it, the reasons why I like it are the same reasons why I like TLK. In fact, over the time I've been involved in both fandoms, I've found they fulfill very similar, if not identical places in my life.
