OT- Playhouse Disney TV Lineup?

[Dallas_Lady]

I turned on theTV and was surprised to see the last 2 hours of Playhouse Disney taken over by the older kids shows, which were already on all afternoon anyway. Do we really need more episodes of Hannah Montana? We live in the Central Time Zone, so that means Playhouse Disney is now over by 9am for us. My DD is not an early riser, so no more Playhouse Disney for us during breakfast We can watch it on OnDemand, but still, I'm a little annoyed at this change.

Here is the lineup: http://tvlistings4.zap2it.com/disney/grid_one.asp?station_num=12510&partner_id=playhouse

Anyone else annoyed by this?

I noticed this too! Luckily I DVR Little Einsteins, MMCH, and Tigger and Pooh each day for my little one. but still!

I think the line up has changed since some kids (in the south) are out of school for the summer already.

Playhouse Disney line up always changes in the summer time.

honestly it doesn't really bother me. I DVR everything anyway and usually only watch it that way. However I have to say with the weather getting nicer we really haven't had the tv on anyway.

If you don't have DVR, maybe you could set your VCR to tape them for you.

Already! I remember last summer the schedule changing. We have DirectTV and also get the west coast feed so we get an extra 3 hours. If the weather here would cooperate and feel like May and not October we would be outside more. Enough with the rain!

PBS and Nickelodeon do that, too. It has to do with summer vacation, it happens every year.

We have switched recently, and only watch SPROUT...it has the preschool type programs on 24/7. I think only COX Cable has Sprout (www.sprout.com).

 

[Dallas_Lady]

Thanks for the info. We get both Sprout and Noggin, which have preschool programming all day. I'd like to be "Disney loyal," but, I am not getting up at 5am to do so! I will probably add Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Little Einsteins to the DVR menu. I think I like watching them more than she does

This totally screwed up the morning for my routine-sensitve DS, LOL. He gets out of bed and watches Higglytown Heroes on the couch while he drinks his Kefir and I find his clothes for the day. Suddenly, there's no Higglytown! There's somecalled Bunnytown??!!!! Very annoying.

I noticed that today also. Our TV isn't on down stairs during the day cause I run a daycare but I ran upstairs to change my shirt and was thrown off thought it was later cause what was on. My son needs to turn off the tv when he goes to school .

 

[K and K's Mommy]

Same thing happened here..

I turned on the t.v. while I cleaned the kitchen. It was a cartoon, but I soon realized it was not something we normally watch. I had to go turn it off. We usually do TiVo, but it seems too early to switch.

 

[KelsiesMommy]

I think it's because some schools are already out for summer

 

[dementia412]

Of course, because preschool kids don't exist durring summer.

 

[TexasBee]

I know!! And they took Stanley off too, which was a favorite around here. SIGH.

 

[labdogs42]

I Tivo everything. My Tivo is overrunning with episodes of Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and a million other preschooler shows! It is SO much easier to have his shows on there than to try and keep up with the changing tv schedules. Between the Tivo and Noggin, we are all set! I also agree that the world does not need n=more episodes of Hannah Montana every day!

I know!! And they took Stanley off too, which was a favorite around here. SIGH.

Yeah! We had a little breakdown at my house over the fact that Stanly wasn't on anymore and that they moved JoJo's circus up a half an hour.

 

[whirledPeas]

It is annoying but I agree that doing a DVR of my girl's favorite shows works best.

 

[Dopey19]

I noticed it this morning too . . .promised we would go watch JoJo for a little bit before I had to leave for work and Higgley was on! I tried to act excited, I think I was more upset than she was!

I haven't read the replies, so it has probably been mentioned, but...

Welcome to summer.

Satallite is nice, you get both East and West which prolongs the kid shows, especially nice when you live in the middle and would be East, but are more on a West schedule.

Other than that Tivo/DVR or DVDs.
