Disney Channel March 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! However, So Random has already ended it’s season run and there are no new episodes of A.N.T. Farm and Fish Hooks planned for this month either.

Good Luck Charlie Season Three Premiere

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

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

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 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

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.

Phineas & Ferb to Replace Kim Possible at Epcot

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.

Disney First Quarter Profit Climbs 12%

Well, looks like the Parks division and Media Networks division saw good growth in the past quarter.

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 …

Dan Berendsen (executive producer & head writer) tells us:
“Right now the network hasn’t committed to anything past a [movie] script, but I know they love the show and are very hopeful they can make this work”

Platypus Day 2012

Platypus Day 2012

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

Disney’s hugely popular duck-billed, beaver-tailed, teal-colored character Perry the Platypus, as seen on “Phineas and Ferb,” the #1 animated series for kids and tweens, will be the main attraction on Platypus Day, SATURDAY, MARCH 3. The celebration includes the introduction of “The Platypus Walk,” a catchy spy-surf-rock song and dance designed to encourage fun physical activity as part of Disney’s commitment to inspire kids and families to lead active lifestyles.

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.

Kimvention Cancelled

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.

Save The Nine Lives of Chloe King

ABC Family clearly didn’t learn their lesson and they have AGAIN cancelled a new series after only ten episodes! The ABC Family series The Nine Lives of Chloe King was just getting started and had just begun to build up what was a very large and elaborate story line. We had some major plot elements revealed in the mid-season finale, which unfortunately has become the series finale. We call on all Disney fans to help us in our campaign to get this series renewed. No show deserves to end before it’s potential an even be measured. Our first SDS event is next week on October 9th (for nine lives) and we really need your support!

Gary Marsh named President of Disney Channel!

Huge news at Disney Channel this month! Carolina Lightcap, the now former president of Disney Channels Worldwide, has decided to step down from her post. Gary Marsh, Disney Channel’s Chief Creative Officer has now been promoted to president for Disney Channels Worldwide in addition to continuing to serve as Chief Creative Officer. Mr Marsh has long been one of the most receptive and well respected executives at Disney Channel, and his ascension to president of the channel is very good news for the fans in general.

In commenting on Mr. Marsh and his promotion, Anne Sweeney, co-chair, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney/ABC Television Group said, “Gary Marsh has been the driving creative force behind Disney Channels remarkable growth for the past 15 plus years, responsible for some of the most iconic and successful franchises in our history, including ‘Hannah Montana,’ ‘Wizards of Waverly Place,’ ‘High School Musical,’ ‘Phineas and Ferb,’ ‘That’s So Raven,’ ‘Shake It Up’ and many others.” She continued, “The evolution and growth of our Disney Channels business will come from the alignment of this great creative with strong distribution, in all its myriad forms. There is no one better suited to manage this than Gary. He not only understands the zeitgeist of kids’ culture, he helped create it. Our business couldn’t be in better hands.”
