Disney Channel/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

## When a lot of these shows get dumped to ABC or whatever there will be actual commercials involved.

** The Disney Channel is on basic cable. This means that, unlike HBO or Showtime, they make very little money from subscriptions. Most basic cable stations make their profits from advertising. Disney doesn't allow other advertisers on their station, but they do get to advertise all of their own productions. The entire point of Disney Channel is the ads. If it costs X dollars to advertise a movie during a half hour program, then all Disney has to do is make a tv show that costs less than X to produce. Then their "profit" is in saved advertising dollars.

** Also the reason why there's no ads is for the channel to make more short segments like ''Disney 365'', ''Radio Disney Total Access'', and more.

* Exactly what was the point of changing Playhouse Disney's name to Disney Junior? Aside from changing the interstitial segments between the shows, there's no difference.

*** ...but it's not even that far in the future. A year that all things considered isn't even that far off. And it's not exactly logical that the entire world would abandon a system that works and always has worked when only one country in the whole world uses a different one and when they still use the metric system ''in outer freaking space''.

** So? It's still the future, for all we know the metric system caused some horrible disaster and they hadn't alerted the space stations to stop using it yet.

** As a general rule, the [[Trope Codifier]] tends to be referred to more often than the [[Trope Maker]].

** ''Lizzie'' also isn't from It's a Laugh Productions like the other sitcoms.

** If I recall, ''Kim Possible'' and ''American Dragon Jake Long'' were rated TV-G...

* Why was Playhouse Disney re-tooled into Disney Junior? The bumpers and name for Playhouse Disney were much more appealing and cute.

** That's [[Disney XD]]'s job, although the company did appear in one Disney 365 segment (Complete with [[Joe Quesada]] being interviewed by [[Shake It Up]]'s Adam Irigoyen).

* This one's for another DC outside of the US: Why does Filipinos have to share a feed with Malaysia? I mean come on, we see promos and contests that are only ''open to Malaysia and Singapore viewers of the channel'' (So Syok Holidays!- ''Seriously?! at the Pinoy children's eyes?'') and they show us Malaysian shows there like ''Bola Kampung'', ''Upin and Ipin'' (fortunately, there were dubbed in English for the sake of understanding) but to show us a live-action Malaysian [[Kid Com]] in Bahasa Malaysia language- subbed in English instead of dubbed on the channel- THIS IS INFURIATING! Why won't Disney-ABC Cable Networks give us a "For the Philippines" only feed of the channel? The Philippines is not like Malaysia. Not to mention some "That should not be there" shows like ''[[Totally Spies]]'' which should be on [[Cartoon Network]] Philippines, some DC shows having some missing scenes (due that this feed is based on the UK feed of the channel), and out of the 4 Youth channels, only 3 (the aforementioned CN, [[Nickelodeon]] and [[Animax]]) have their own Philippine feeds, but none for DC. Disney-ABC Cable Networks International, please tell DC Asia to ''stop force feeding us Malaysian content on Filipino throats...''
