Disney Channel May Highlights
The month of May features the return of Good Luck Charlie (more on that later) plus new episodes of Austin & Ally, Jessie, Phineas and Ferb, and Shake It Up!

Good Luck Charlie Season Three Premiere
Good Luck Charlie season three kicks off on Sunday May 6th with two back to back episodes.
In the premiere episode, Amy Duncan, now in her third trimester, decides it’s time for her expanding family to move into a bigger house. Immediately following the premiere, in an all new episode, Gabe thinks he is being sent to a boarding school, PJ has a hard time letting go of his old hair salon, and everyone at school thinks Teddy is a jinx on Spencer.

New Series: Dog with a Blog
Disney Channel has officially picked up the series “Dog with a Blog” staring G. Hannelius for a full season order. Production begins this Summer for a premiere in the Fall. A talking dog series seems a little out there, but we’ve been surprised before.
A family sitcom from the pet’s point-of-view, it centers on step-siblings whose parents buy them a dog to encourage them to get along. That happens – to some extent – as brother and sister discover a big secret about their family’s latest addition… that the dog can talk AND blog. The series will introduce a talented cast, among them, Disney Channel’s next big star: a four year-old, mixed breed named Kuma in the role of Stan, the talking dog with a blog.

New Disney Pilot: Bits & Pieces
Disney has ordered a new pilot called Bits & Pieces which sounds a lot like a redo of Life with Derek. Derek was a very well done show, but it wasn’t actually produced by Disney so it would be interesting to see Disney’s direct take on the idea if the pilot ends up being picked up for a full series order.
In the story, the family tree gets a whole lot bigger when high school basketball coach Pete marries the school psychologist Jodie, much to the chagrin of their four kids. Willful teenager Alanna recounts all the family moments through comedic vignettes, while her awkward brother Sticky and their new step siblings Crystal and Brody help fill in the bits and pieces as they begin their journey together as a new family.

Rich Ross Resigns!
Rich Ross was the president of the Disney Channel when Kim Possible was cancelled and SDS was founded. In 2009 Bob Iger fired Walt Disney Studios head Dick Cook and promoted Ross to the position. Ross continued in that post until last month when he was forced to resign in the wake of the John Carter debacle (and more importantly Ross’s mishandling of the spin). A replacement has yet to be named.

Disney Channel’s Executive Promotions
In related news, Richard Loomis has been promoted to the newly created position of Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Disney Channels Worldwide. Mr Loomis had joined DC back in 2007 and has been leading their marketing efforts ever since.
Karen K. Miller has also been promoted to Executive Director, Worldwide Programming Strategy, which puts her in a very prominent position as far as the future direction of the channel.
Read more about both promotions on the DC Fans Blog.
Phineas & Ferb to Replace Kim Possible at Epcot
This is disappointing, but not really unexpected. Instead of standing with the franchise, Disney just casts KP to the sidelines in favor of capitalizing on Phineas and Ferb for a short while instead.
[The]“Kim Possible” interactive game at Epcot will be replaced with Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure … As the Orlando Sentinel reports, visitors will become secret agents to help the “Phineas & Ferb” character defeat his archenemy Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Families with kids that adore the series will probably enjoy an afternoon helping the platypus out.

Brenda Song in a new Pilot for NBC
Disney starlet Brenda Song recently filmed a new pilot titled “Table For Three” for NBC! Our own Webmaster Greg was at the taping for the pilot, and he assures us that the show was phenomenal and we hope that it gets picked up for a full season run.
Logline: Revolves around a young woman who returns home from overseas to find her father in a serious relationship with the “mean girl” from her high school.

Walt Disney Co.’s (DIS) fiscal first-quarter profit rose a stronger-than-expected 12% as the company’s theme-park division benefited from higher spending and attendance. … Revenue from Disney’s television and theme-park businesses continued to drive its top-line growth over the past year, though the contribution from cable-TV juggernaut ESPN suffered in the latest quarter …

Platypus Day 2012
It’s good to see Disney paying at least some attention to animation again. It’s a start.

Nick star Jennette McCurdy shows her support for SDS
 { Full Size Image Link }
It seems like we’re always recanting some recent adventure of our Webmaster Greg in LA, but he really stepped up his game last month! You see, Jennette McCurdy of Nickelodeon’s hit series iCarly did a special charity event in Beverly Hills and Greg was there not only to meet her, but to give her a Save Disney Shows bracelet. Her reaction was… well… about what you would expect for a Nick star! But it was quite nice of her to hold it up for the live webcast of Greg’s friend Brian of McCurdian.com. And of course, she made sure to say that she would mention it to her many friends on Disney. =]
You’ll find a lot more about Jennette’s event, plus an archive of that original video feed over on the Nick Girls Blog.
This concludes this email news alert. Thanks for reading from all of us at Save Disney Shows.

Following Gary Marsh’s recent promotion, it seems logical that Sean Cocchia would be moving up a step as well. Together Marsh and Cocchia have played a major role in shaping the direction of the channel for the past few years.

Kimvention Cancelled
Last night Donald Speirs (Chairman & CEO,
Kimvention 2012, Inc.) announced that due to low ticket sales Kimvention 2012 has been cancelled.
Lots of people over the last six months said they wanted to attend. Even pledged they would buy tickets once they went on sale. But I guess they wanted to attend something other than what I offered. When we opened the event sales a couple of weeks ago, almost no one purchased tickets.
The entire Save Disney Shows team would like to take a moment to thank Mr. Speirs and the entire Kimvention team for their efforts to organize this event and keep KP’s memory alive. Please take a moment to read the full letter at the Kimvention 2012 website and please consider making a donation to St Judes in honor of Gary Sperling.
It is possible that some sort of smaller event may take place with certain members of the crew. We will keep you updated if and when we know more.
Selena Gomez’s UNICEF Benefit Concert
On January 20th Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez held her second annual UNICEF benefit concert at the House of Blues Sunset Strip in Hollywood CA.

Along with special guests Big Time Rush, Selena put on quite a show in this unique acoustic performance.
You’ll find a few photos and a lot of video from the event over on the DC Fans Blog.

This new blog features many girls on the ABC network including my favorites Elisha Cuthbert and Sarah Hyland. On the ABC Family side we have the aforementioned Lucy Hale and her Pretty Little Liar costars like Miss Ashley Benson…
… and of course other sexy sweethearts like Meaghan Martin, Skyler Samuels, Vanessa Marano, Francia Raisa, Megan Park and many more.
I hope you enjoy the new site! We plan on updating it bi-weekly to tri-weekly for the time being so your best bet to stay up to date is to follow the site’s new twitter profile @MyABCGirls.
Oh, and if you want to see the rest of these new pics of Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson for Bongo’s 2012 photoshoot, you might want to click over to the new website. That’s MyABCGirls.com

Ashley Benson at the People’s Choice Awards at Nokia Theatre in LA.
Blond Awesomeness. 
Of course, Lucy’s still my favorite Liar but Ashley’s quite the hottie too.
And I certainly don’t mind seeing her in a leggy dress every now and then.
As always, you can find the fullsize of all the pics in the gallery.
Just click any pic above for all of those.

So by now you’ve all seen Laura Marano on Austin and Ally, but have you seen her big sis Vanessa?
Vanessa Marano is a Disney girl too, she’s on ABC Family’s “Switched at Birth.”
And if these pics from Teen Vogue’s 2011 Young Hollywood Party are any indication, she’s clearly the cuter sister.
Their mom is in the entertainment buisness too. She’s a talent agent.

Lucy Hale is my favorite part of Pretty Little Liars, but Ashley Benson doesn’t hurt any.
This set is from Variety’s Power Of Youth Event last year. I guess he was too busy this year.
Aparently she also likes Coke. The soda, not the drug (I hope!).
There’s really not much more I can say about this pretty blond in skinny jeans.
I mean, she’s hot but you already knew that.
Click any pic to see the full set.

Maybe it’s just me, but I really don’t see Lucy Hale shopping at Target.
I mean, yes I see that she’s outside a Target store with Target bags, but it looks staged IMHO.
If the Paparazis don’t follow Debby ryan to the beach, why would they follow Lucy to Target? It just makes no sense.
Still… obvious marketing attempt that it is, Ms. Hale looks pretty so I thought I’d post the pics.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to Wal-Mart. xD [Click any pic for the gallery.]
