[chrispetitioner]

It is a petition against disney and there 65 episode rule, the petition to bring back toon disney, and the petition to bring back radio disney.

they all need 1,000,000 sig's

what sort of petition is this? how many signatures do you think you need?

 

[CastawayJ]

not to mention
boy meets world
flash forward
there used to be a lot of good stuff
I wish they would at least start playing reruns again

 

[CastawayJ]

I know I would apreciate it

and somehow boy meets world got to go on
is it cause they showed it on another channel?

Bad news, Hannah montanna is the only show to Be allowed past the 65 episode rule because it is made by ABC And not disney.

well, i have looked around and hannah montanna is being limited to:
500 episodes. it is now at it's 69th. long way to go

NO WAY!!!!!! that is unfair
wow..my first online tantrum..

 

[chrispetitioner]

ok, calm down!

Yes, it is true. but i have typed it wrong.

it's disney instead of ABC And it's not 500, sorry, 5 MORE Episodes, that will reach it to 2009

NO WAY!!!!!! that is unfair
wow..my first online tantrum..

i have a few questions;

what will this petition accomplish? (or what do you hope it accomplishes)

why does it matter that the shows only have 65 episodes? (i mean...some of them start to get really bad after a while...why continue a dying show?)

why should i sign your petition?


i'm not trying to be rude or anything...just wanting some more information & your reasons for this petition thing.


I personally don't mind that they have this rule, I like it when they come out with new shows and I don't mind watching repeats of old shows.
And what makes this the darker side of Disney? I understand why they wouldn't invest time/money in old shows that are no longer the hot new thing...I mean why should they? I mean with the exceptions of Even Steven, Thats so Raven, Lizzie Maguire, The Suite Life and Kim POssible, the rest of those shows just kind of fizzled out and I was never sad to see them go. Disney's a business, and a very smart one at that, they are always looking for new ways to re-invent the Disney channel (and though some may not like it it really seems to have been working so far)

Also, Boy Meets World had over 150 episodes?
How do they decide which shows get to have more than 65 episodes?


Again, just looking for some more info...

I hope to end the disney 65 episode rule

the shows what they cancel are top quality shows and are at there prime, it is anti-creative

you should sign this petition to end the rule and to help me!

Also, you last Question, The BOD And EPic choose that (Thats Board of directors) (Thats Executive people in charge)

I don't really agree with you that the episodes are in their prime when they are cancelled, and I don't really think it's anti-creative.

Creativity to me is being unique and original, and all of the new stuff that the Disney Channel comes out with, to me, are very creative.
I think that they get rid of old, stagnant shows that aren't getting good viewership for a reason, and a good one at that.

And if the Board of Directors chose to keep Boy Meets World on the air past the '65 episode rule' it was probably because of its because massive fanbase & popularity, if there were ever another show that can stand up to Boy Meets Worlds' popularity, they would probably do the same thing.
(as you said, they are also extending Hannah Montana which is probably Disney's biggest show in YEARS)

So I'm sorry, but I think that the 65 episode rule is actually a GOOD idea.


But kudos for you for standing up for something you believe in.

i did, and i posted a comment about it, as well--basically that i found it mildly disturbing (no offense!)

 

[chrispetitioner]

The Guideline to produce only sixty five episodes of any Disney Channel program was conceived and enacted during the earliest days of Michael Eisner’s leadership as a way to produce a large quantity of material in a relatively short period of time for a channel that would broadcast only first party material. For reasons unknown, said guideline was immediately enforced as if it were policy. Later it become actual policy.

The sixty five episode rule as it will be referred to hereafter, was originally meant to be discontinued after there would be enough filler material for Disney Channel to allow focus on investing in high rated programs. The sixty five episode rule accomplished it’s goal shortly after the cancellation of the Disney Channel program Darkwing Duck in 1992. For reasons unknown, the sixty five episode rule has been kept not only beyond that timeline, but throughout Michael Eisner’s leadership as CEO of Disney, and even continues to this day.

Intelligent business practice would be to invest in and market programs that receive the highest ratings, and to continue to do until such time as said programs are no longer profitable. I believe to do otherwise is not only anti-creative, hurting fans, but anti-business, hurting you. The sixty five episode policy was useful until the time of around 1992, after which it became self destructive, a fact which has not changed with the passing of time.

just that makes it sound sort of like it was meant to inspire originality and creativity in the production of shows, not detract from it

just an observation, thats not NECESSARILY my opinion. im still undecided.
