I'm not sure I'd change much.
As far as the live action stuff goes, I like the general theme of what they're going. I don't like every Zoog show and movie they've put out but, overall I think they've got the right foundation in place. Disney just needs to be sure they've got the best writters and actors available. Then push for creative family based shows. It's the same game plan, just always striving for better execution.
Surprisingly, the area that could use the most work is animation. I deffinitely enjoy the occasional episode of SpongeBob on that other network

so the addition of something humorous along those lines might be nice. You'd think Disney could manage that one wouldn't you? I mean, can you imagine how many SpongeBobs and CatDogs you could sell in the parks if they were Disney characters? Heck I'd buy a SpongBob myself.
Which leaves us with the overnight hours. Where what you've got is an adult audience plain and simple. And re-running episodes of "Sister, Sister" and "The Famous Jet Jackson" isn't gonna do it for you. At 3:00AM you're only gonna draw so many viewers anyway, so I'd look at the list of shows already in-house and throw up whatever appealed most to the late night crowd. In this case the choice is either "Lizzie Maguire" and assorted shows or the old classics. I'm goin' the old classics which are a hit with at least a small % of the already very small % of adults who happen to be up and watching tv at 3:00 in the morning.
Now of course, in the big picture, what Disney does with its overnight schedule for the Disney Channel is pretty insignificant. And even though I did enjoy the Vault I wouldn't mind it being eliminated if I could just see some logic in it. But I can't. There's no apparent cost savings and, undoubtedly, there'll be no help in the ratings. In fact, if I had to guess I'd say they're actually more likely to see a drop in overnight numbers. So I just don't see this one yet.
Big deal? Not at all. Kind of a wierd and currently unexplainable move though? Most deffinitely.
Which brings me back to AVs post...
Getting poor ratings with an original program exposes you to blame, getting poor ratings with a copy-cat program shields you from risk of making a decision.
Not partucularly productive reasoning but, so far the only thing that makes sense. That, and the idea forwarded that maybe they're going to DVD with all this stuff and that's why it's being pulled. Even then I'm still at kind of a loss though.
Cause if you're plan is try and sell shows like "The Jersey" at 3:00AM...I mean c'mon...there's just no audience for that stuff at that hour...you might as well just go off air during the overnight. Of course, then again maybe I'm wrong. The fact being I know absolutely nothing about, and having absolutely no experience programming a tv station. Though experience doesn't seem to have helped anyone at ABC.
