Save Disney Shows has a New Look!
Save Disney Shows is proud to unveil our brand new and completely redesigned website. Webmaster Greg has built the new site completely from scratch, while still incorporating many of the unique tools and resources we have developed for our various movements over the years.
The new main page provides one click access to our most important sections on it’s standard left sidebar and convently displaysboth the next scheduled event and newest SDS news article on the right.
We’ve also redesigned each individual show’s section to mirror the format of the general SDS pages. Each individual show has it’s own unique themeing and also features customized information, news, and contacts most relevant to that particular show. However, many of our show sections like are still using temporary graphics. If you’d like to help us finish the site with your own personal touch, please email or tweet us.
New Movements Founded for JONAS (LA) and Sonny with a Chance
Disney has declined to renew the revamped J.O.N.A.S. / JONAS LA series for a third season citing among other issues, scheduling concerns.
In light of this development, and given the fact that the second season was considerably better than the first season, we have established a “Save JONAS” movement for the fans that have been asking for one. You can learn more here.
It’s no secret that Demi Lovato, Sonny Munroe herself, has fallen on some rather hard times recently. And with all the uncertainty surrounding her future availability, it’s hard to say what will happen to the show. The general consensus seems to indicate that the show will continue for season three, with or without her. Here at SDS, we seek to ensure both that the show continues and that it continues with Demi in her lead role.
As the first filming dates grow closer, we will continue to monitor the situation and possibly begin planning of future events as necessary on our new Save SWAC website.
December Disney Channel Highlights
The December schedule looks like it will rely fairly heavily on new episodes of Disney’s two new shows, Fish Hooks and Shake it Up.
There are also two new Wizards, a special Hannah, the Good Luck Charlie episode Webmaster Greg went to the filming for, and even a Christmas themed Suite Life: “A London Carol” – Cody and Bailey approach their friends to help out with their charity event, but London refuses. But when her magic mirror takes her to her past, present and future, she learns the importance of giving and being a good friend.

Disney 4th Quarter Profit Sinks 7%
Walt Disney Co. profit sank 7 percent during the final three months of its fiscal year, disappointing Wall Street as one-time adjustments dragged down the company’s television networks and theme parks and more than offset gains from the blockbuster movie “Toy Story 3.”
Disney made $835 million during the quarter, which ended Oct. 2, down from $895 million last year. Revenue dipped 1 percent to $9.7 billion.
Disney’s full-year profit leapt 20 percent to just under $4 billion on revenue that was up 5 percent to $38.1 billion, thanks in large part to continuing advertising and affiliate-fee gains at ESPN and a slate of hit films that included “Toy Story 3,” “Alice in Wonderland” and Marvel Entertainment’s “Iron Man 2.”
Disney President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger called the year “a good one financially and strategically for our company.”
Operating profit at Disney’s media networks, which include ESPN, tumbled 18 percent from last year to $1.2 billion during the quarter but climbed 8 percent to $5.1 billion for the year.

Selena Gomez on Lopez Tonight
Ever wonder what goes into filming a late night talk show like Lopez Tonight? Webmaster Greg recently attended a taping for this TBS talk show to see that day’s special guest, Selena Gomez.
Besides being a very interesting interview, Greg noticed and commented on some of the editing tricks they use to hide mistakes, rough cuts, and Selena’s tendency to touch her face while talking.
