Have you heard the word Disney before? Chances are you have, because The Walt Disney Company is a very famous company, perhaps the most famous in the world. But you probably haven't heard this about Disney....

Chances are that you, the reader, have watched The Disney Channel or the Family Channel, which both air Disney programming. The thing most people don't know about current Disney shows is that virtually all of them will ONLY have 65 episodes.

Sad but true. Shows that people are fighting for, in order to pass the 65-episode limit, include Kim Possible, Lilo & Stitch, The Proud Family, Dave The Barbarian, That's So Raven, Fillmore, and I think Teamo Supreamo. Some shows that ended and "died" from the 65 episode limit include Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens.

Together we can help save our favorite Disney shows from cancellation. I personally have signed petitions and such for Kim Possible to help save it and even joined the official "Save Kim Possible" group, Mission Kim Possible.

What can you do to save your favorite Disney show from cancellation?

OPTIONS:

1. Join a Yahoo and/or MSN group focused on saving that show, and work with the members to do all you can!
2. Sign petitions to save your show.
3. Write a letter to Disney and/or the creators.
4. If opportunities ever come to be a Disney star or work for Disney, tell them in person what you think, and say that many other fans feel that the 65-episode rule should be eliminated (gotten rid of).
5. Visit various "Save (your show's name here)" sites for other options.

How did I find out about the 65-episode rule?

As a Kim Possible fan (which I became in 2002), I started going on sites focused on Kim Possible and I noticed that there were many people talking about about 65-episode limits.

How did I become a KP (Kim Possible) fan?

Back in the summer of 2002, I (barely knowing what it was) first watched Kim Possible on ABC Kids. Then I started watching it at my Nana's on the Family Channel. Seeing various ads in my magazines helped me learn a lot more about KP, and by the summer of 2003 I was hooked and a mega-fan. I then learned that this show wasn't perfect and that KP would end sooner than I thought.

Well that's my story about the Disney episode limit, from what I've heard and read. Here are some sites for you to check out:
