Yes, get that mess (along with the rest of Nickelodeon) off the air.

I never thought of it. But you are right.

Weird tho. Cuz In JAPAN shows like One Piece, Naruto & Detective Conan have been running for years.

Anime really isn't for kids, tho. It's really geared towards adults and teens, unless it's something like Pokemon. I hate most American cartoons, but I love anime.

That was the run of a good amount of these shows.

No. What's weird is that they produced just 65 episodes, regardless of success. On a regular broadcast network, a show will usually continue to air as long as its popular and profitable.

LIZZIE ONLY HAD 2 SEASONS

They're created to last up to 65 episodes (the amount to send them to syndication) so the can clear the schedule and produce more shows.
The shows that last longer than that (WoWP, Hannah Montana, That's So Raven, Kim Possible and a few others) are the exceptions to the rule.

I think it's good. I ain't here for ****eries of more than 4, even 3 seasons. That'd be boring.
And answers were already provided.

I thought Wizards already ended, though.

To be honest, WoWP, Phineas and Ferb, and Zeke and Luther will be the last shows Disney allow to run over 65 episodes.

Raven was the first to 100 episodes. Wizards will pass it though. I am not here for Disney Channel other than Raven though.

Nii.

They don't deliver like Nickelodeon.

Once the hormones start kicking in, the sexual innuendos of iCarly and Victorious, along with several attractive actors, they keep the viewers until they finally get lives.

I don't even count that trash, or anything that isn't on Disney Channel, to be Disney. Disney XD = trash.

But gorls.. let's not count out A.N.T. Farm.. it's the only Disney show out right now that is releasing music with it's episodes.. speaking of, one of those songs is in the top 90 of iTunes right now after just a day or two of release.

Ratings for the past 3 episodes of the current Disney shows (millions):
WOWP- 3.6, 3.2, 2.9
Good Luck Charlie- 3.4, 3.1, 3.2
Shake It Up- ?, 4.1, 3.4
So Random!- N/A, last episode recorded got 2.3
PrankStars- only 2 episodes.. 3.9, 3.4
Phineas & Ferb- 3.5, 3.6, 3.2

Basically.. Phineas & Ferb, though popular, is doing okay (besides the little DCOM for it, that did really well,) while Fish Hooks is doing a bit bad, So Random is flopping, WOWP is decreasing in viewers usually every episode, PrankStars only has 2 episodes but the 2nd one went down a bit from the premiere, A.N.T. Farm & Good Luck Charlie are both staying consistent, and Shake It Up is basically slaying the others to pieces. As for the crappy Disney XD shows, who knows..

Also.. Phineas & Ferb is scheduled for like.. 130 episodes.
