Inside Out

[jkile]

Does anyone remember the series on the Disney Channel Inside Out? That show was very good for giving news and updates from the world. I am suprised that there aren't shows like that on DC. I know we couldn't wait to book our next trip after seeing what was new and exciting. I would think they wuld use that forum to show what is going on and get people excited for a future vacation. Does anyone know why Inside Out was dropped?

[toefungus]

I remember that show! I really liked it. I wish they would put some more shows on wdw or DL on the Disney channel. They harly have any!

Does anyone know why Inside Out was dropped?

Poor ratings is always a good place to start. Perhaps Brianne Leary proved too annoying for people. Plus, by the end of the show's run it had pretty much covered everything it could. Not to mention that it's content started conflicting with the changing Disney Channel format. It was essentially a show for a rather limited audience and therefore was destined to end quickly.

[Janet2k]

I loved watching that show with my son. I, too, wish they would bring back a new version of it. There are so many things they could fill that show up with.

[Richyams]

That was the only show I ever watched on the Disney Channel. I used to go through my TV Guide and figure out when it was on and watch the shows over and over. I really like "The Big Guy" ans the red haired guy was good too. I thought Ms Leary was being forced to do something she hated.

[Lesley]

We liked that show too...the one host (the red haired JD Roth) hosted a video game show that my dh faithfully watched years ago. It was cool to see a familiar face in a familiar place!

Of course we used to watch that awful Hulk Hogan show just to see WDW too!

[OnWithTheShow]

Come on now... Thunder in Paradise was quality TV.

[WDW2002]

I would love to see that show come back, maybe even reruns on the travel channel . I truely believe part of the problem with bad ratings is they kept changing the time it was on. One week it would be on at 12-noon, then next week it was on at 3pm. Who could keep up with all the changes??

[Bob O]

I also loved the show which was one of the few shows i watched on the disney channel. I always liked Scott Herroit when he hosted the show and loved seeing Brianne !!!!!

[Lan]

I loved this show. I taped them also. That way I got to be in the *magic* on a daily basis:D

[Janet2k]

Just looking at the posts in this thread, I can see that most of us here on the Dis are hopelessly addicted to all things Disney. Hello, my name is Janet and I am a Disney addict...:)

[JudithM]

We used to watch that show regularly in our household!

[JohnMouse]

I've mentioned it before, but I liked Inside Out.....especially Brianne, who I met at WDW in 1996. I do think they should revive this show, preferably with Brianne as the host. If not her, how about Paige Davis? She has Disney connections.

[Bob O]

I just think with all this talk of synergy going around at disney that it makes no sense not to have a weekly show based on their theme parks all over the world. it cant be no worse than replays of zorro at night!

[meowthew2]

If not her, how about Paige Davis? She has Disney connections. [/B]

You mean Trading Spaces' Paige Davis? I doubt she'd wanna leave one of cable's best and highest-rated shows for a silly Disney gig. And I don't want her too either!

[OnWithTheShow]

I'm glad so many of you liked and even recorded Thunder in Paradise.

[Janet2k]

How about we get Samantha Brown from the Travel Channel to host the new "The World Of Disney: Inside and Out" show? She's perky & quirky and might make an excellent host. This show could encompass all Disney theme park locations -- California, Florida, Tokyo, and France. Heck, it could even spend a few shows discussing and playing old video clips from TV shows that filmed episodes in the Disney parks (thus picking up on everyone's old favorite, "Thunder In Paradise").

[Planogirl]

Great idea Janet! I would love to see every sitcom episode that involved WDW too. I recall Roseanne and Golden Girls. Does anyone remember any others?

I am rather surprised that Disney doesn't rerun any of the Inside Out shows. :confused:

[wdwfreak]

I beleive that the casts of Full House, Step by Step , and Family Matters all went to WDW. Those shows, along with Roseanne (mentioned earlier), were all top-rated ABC shows around the time that Disney bought ABC/Capital Cities. Coincidence or synergy? Hmmmmmm ...

A little side note:

Our favorite scene, one that we still laugh about today, from the Full House WDW episode was when D.J.'s boyfriend (Steve?) surprised her by checking into the GF, where the Tanners were staying. An 18-year-old boy checking into a $300-400/per night resort was pretty hilarious to us. I guess you had to be there ...

[jadedee]

Boy Meets World I saw that one last night corey and tapanga were at epcot.

when it was regis and kathy lee they had a wedding week a few years ago.. Rosie was there for I think a couple of weeks

:wave:

[Uncleromulus]

I liked Inside Out and I do miss it.
The Disney Channel is such a waste now. When I first subscribed, it had great stuff--Lawrenceville Stories, Friendship in Vienna, etc etc.etc
Now--it's ZOOG DISNEY etc etc etc. Pathetic!!

[Captain Crook]

Uncleromulus, I generally regard your food reviews with honor, but your opinion of the Disney Channel is...Well, wrong.:D The Disney Channel is absolutely superb. It is probably one of the best arms Disney has going and the kids love it (regardless of what oldsters think of "zoog").

The Disney Channel is producing FANTASTIC quality 'made for' movies that are not only educational but still about doing the right thing. The series they have like Even Stevens & Lizzie McGuire are tremendous.

While we do miss Inside Out, the rest of the programming is on an "UP" at the Disney Channel right now...
:smooth: :smooth: :bounce: :smooth: :smooth:

[leahannpen]

I too loved that show! I'd get so excited when it was on, I'd race to a quiet room even if we had people over (sorry, rude, I know, but too bad! it was WDW for heavens sake!) and watch every minute. I have a great idea! I'LL be the host!!! I'm perfect, trust me! ;)

[Harryo]

I too enjoyed that show ! We're all sick you know that don't you !!!

[Testtrack321]

Sorry Crook, I have to agree with the uncle here. Zoog is a tremendous waste of time and space. It was good, then Zoog developed into a nightime thing, 8pm-10pm. Then it slowly invaded the rest of the channel, slowly, and viciously choking off Inisde Out and other good programs. I now like ABC Family and think Disney should use it causisouly. They should put some old shows up there along with some new ones. Put some reruns of The Mole, Alias, Who's Line, The Practace, and others and you've got an excelent TV channel.

[Barb]

LOL Lesley, I was a faithful Thunder in Paradise watcher!! :) I loved watching just to see the Grand Floridian in the background, and to guess where there were in WDW!! What fun! But then again, I now watch Denise Austin just to see one of the Disney resorts in the background, too. :D
I loved Inside Out. I guess they just ran out of new and exciting things to show us. Too bad. I really enjoyed that show. :)

[Lesley]

Oh, I didn't say we didn't watch Thunder in Paradise regularly...we did....it was like a game...where is this? :D But that was the whole appeal of the show. I can't recall a single plot, just lots of boats flying around Bay Lake!

[jadedee]

What is Tunder in Paradise??

Real late at night or early moring on the Disney Channel they have a Wonderfull World of Disney Program and Sometime I catch I real old story about disneyland, It is in black and white. I like to watch that one. I think they might have another that was filmed in the 70's.

I wish Disney Channel would play more disney movie. and stuff about all the parks, cause right now it is geared for teenager (that is what soap operas are doing and same with the mall here there is only two childrens clothing stores and around 10 for teenager, so are the movies. It is a teenage world..) Everything is being turned over to the teenagers (im not saying anything bad about teenager, but adult do like to do stuff too.

now back to the point. Disney need a channel for there parks and about the Mouse want happened to the Mouse. He is hardly ever on a disney Channel..

[bigdisneydaddy]

Inside Out was a great oppurtunity for Disney to showcase their resorts. I have been asked many times "why do you pay so much to stay at a Disney resort". If Disney did a better job of showcasing the whole WDW experience I think the increased revenue would far outweigh the small cost of a production like Inside out.
If they have trouble with new ideas..... I am available as a consultant

[meeko_33785]

I liked this show too, but toward the end it just didn't seem to be working. It seemed to have turned from a behind-the-scenes-of-Disney show to a big infomerical for the Disney Institute. It got to where I would only watch about 10 minutes because JD Roth learning how to rock climb again could only be so exciting.

[yensid1071]

jadedee,
Thuner in Paradise was a short lived action show starring Terry "Hulk" Hogan, Carol Alt and Chris Lemmon. While cheesy, it was entertaining and, more importantly, gave us a chance to see where they filmed scenes at WDW (Typhoon Lagoon, MGM Studios, Team Disney Building, Grand Floridian, etc.). The pilot to the show is available on video. It was produced by the same people that do "Baywatch". I have this show to thank for a trip to WDW in 1994. We stayed at the Old Key West Resort (known then as the Vacation Club Resort since the DVC was just getting off the ground). I got to tour part of the soundstage they were shooting on and watch them do a few takes. Not exciting in itself, but the trip was great!

Like others, I miss Inside Out as well. I think Disney could do an updated version and put it on during Vault Disney or something. They could even tweak the old episodes and nobody would know the difference. They would have to add new footage since things have changed over the years (they promoted the "soon to open" Test Track for a long time, if I recall correctly). Plus that show had some of the coolest aerial shots of the WDW property!

Samantha Brown from the Travel Channel would be good for a revised Inside Out. She actually did a few episodes of Great Hotels recently on the Grand Floridian, Animal Kingdom Lodge and Beach Club Resort (one 30 min episode per hotel). They repeat them periodically, so check the Travel Channel program listings for details when they may air again).

[isnkr]

I loved that show........There were always interesting facts that they would throw out that I didn't know. I would tape it if I was going to miss it. I enjoyed seeing the construction and the new attractions - it would fill the void until my next trip.

As for Thunder in Paradise.....um....well.....ALRIGHT - I watched it. I would get a kick out of hearing the Train in the background as they filmed a beach scene at the GF. I was always trying to figure out where the outside shots were taken from.

Bring back something to help my addiction....:jester:

[TheLionKing]

I also loved Inside Out.

Seems to me to be pretty cheap programming to fill up some time, and I mean that in a good sense.

[jkile]

I'm glad to see so many people felt the same way about Inside Out as me. I only hope someone from the Disney Channel is viewing these posts.

[elemusing]

HOW FUNNY that I was just trying to remember the name of that show the other day! I LOVED that show! I wish they would at least bring it on in reruns and I would tape every one of them!

I even wish I could get the Resort TV at home. I love the Zip a Dee Doo Dah Tip for Today! :-)

[d-r]

Disney transportation is complimentary for resort guests.

[elemusing]

Thanks d-r. :D

[bigdisneydaddy]

Too bad Disney transportation wasnt complimentary to and from Michigan.
This snow is really getting to me !

[Testtrack321]

You can get the **TIP FOR TODAY**! Go to DisneyDreams.net and click on Sounds/Video. Then the top two links are the resort TV with the Zip-A-De-Do-Da-Zipp-a-de-day!

[Dodie]

Before we had the Disney Channel (and a dish), I used to LIVE for those special preview weekends when it was free on cable. I would faithfully determine exactly WHEN "Inside Out" was on so we didn't miss our chance to see it.

I was SO disappointed when we got our dish (with the Disney Channel) and found that the show was GONE from the line-up!:(

I'm really surprised that they don't run SOMETHING about the parks. Free advertising, after all.

[Captain Hook]

I really miss Inside Out, it was a good way to keep the Disney magic going inbetween trips, but then again my daughter and I also liked "Secrets Of The Animal Kingdom"

That was Funhouse, of course he was blond then...I used to love that show and dream of being on it! Two teams compete for the chance to run thru the funhouse collecting prize and money tags....of course I used to love the Cryptkeeper game show too, with similar if not VR stages

[Testtrack321]

OMG! I loved the Funhouse show too!!
The water slide, the swer pit, everything! I even had the computer game (which had no connection to the game whatsoever.) I also like the other VR games, but never got into the Crypt thing.

[raidermatt]

I have seen a few short features about different things at the parks. The types of things that run between shows or during breaks. Nothing in the last few months, but I remember a fairly recent segment that talked about how they came up with the design for the Soarin' Over California vehicles. (I know, not WDW, but still park related...)

I would definitely watch a show about the parks. They certainly have enough material now, with 6 parks in the U.S. alone.

But then again, my son and I watch the planning videos for entertainment purposes, so we might not be the average viewers...

[siouxi31]

I also wish they would bring Inside Out back. There are only so many times that you can watch your personal WDW vacations, the free Plan Your Trip videos and the Roseanne show goes to Disney. How many of you stay up late hoping to see the Osmonds at Disneyland or the EPCOT opening when Drew Barrymore was young? I take it any way I can get it and they all bring me to tears.

[CernyJ]

I too am in favor of the show returning. It gave me my Disney fix and kept me going until the next vacation.
