I guess 1990 wasn't a very memorable year for cartoons - of these, I only remember Tale Spin, Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Kids on the Block, although I only watched Tale Spin and Super Mario Bros. As I recall, Tale Spin was part of The Disney Afternoon, which also included Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Gummi Bears, and DuckTales.
@@TheReviewStudios I forgot that a lot of 80s and early 90s cartoons did 65 episode seasons! Nowadays that would be about 3 or 4 seasons worth of episodes (6 seasons for those series that are only 10 episodes a season). Things have really changed!
Goof Troop, Tale Spin, Chip & Dale, Darkwing Duck…that was the golden era of Disney to me. Repurposing classic characters into modern sitcoms was so genius and creative when I saw them as a kid
I worked on talespin and have been in the animation industry 36 years... Tale spin was one of the first series to go 'right to syndication'. Before this time, shows were made 13 episodes a year until they reached 5 seasons, then at 65 episodes they'd go into syndication, meaning 'repeated for years in reruns' (free money/revenue stream from then on) tale spin was made for syndication, 65 episodes right away... Disney television made many shows this way, bonkers, darkwing duck, Aladdin etc... So it isn't accurate to say 'one season' since we made 5 'seasons' all together and they ran on the 'Disney afternoon' for a long time...
Which Studio did you work at in 1989 and 1990 when you worked on Talespin? It had Various Studios working on it and non were American. It had Multiple Japanese Studios, One Large French Studio, a few Korean Studios and a Taiwanese studio.
@@Tornado1994 what do you mean none were American? The studio that made that was Disney television animation, most certainly an American company... At the time Disney TV was in North Hollywood on cahuenga Blvd, right up the street from Universal studios... The foreign studios are the production houses, contracted to do the actual animation (all television animation is done this way) we would do the design, story, boarding, backgrounds, etc then send it overseas to be animated... It was less expensive to do that.
*_Tail Spin_* actually was the most undeserving of such a short run.. and had great everything: great animation, great characters, and great story lines.
I cant believe Tale Spin was one season?! I loved that cartoon as a kid. Born in 1983. So many great cartoons from the 80s and 90s. 1990 was a sweet transition spot for cartoons. Thought Tale Spin was around for years. Great detective work!
same here, born in 83, I remember a lot of these shows from when we were 7! Shocking about Tale Spin, that seemed like a permanent fixture back then! That was one of my favorite shows.
Same here! I could’ve sworn that show was longer than one season. That was one of my favorites.I was also born in 1983 and I have vivid memories of that time. Is that weird considering we were only 7-8 around 1990-91.
Like some others mentioned, I can’t believe Tale Spin was only one season. It aired so much that it felt like a lot more. That era of Disney’s Gummi Bears, Duck Tales, Chip ‘n’ Dale Rescue Rangers, and Tale Spin was truly their golden era for animated TV. Some consider Darkwing Duck part of that too, but I found the animation and stories really low quality and sloppy in comparison. I never considered Tale Spin the very best of Disney’s animated shows from this time, but I did like it, and almost always watched it. Not only because of the stories and characters, but also because even back then I was into planes and aviation. 1990 and 1991 had so many great cartoons, music, movies, and video games. Some absolutely groundbreaking and entirely new genres. I suppose I have a sort of rose colored view of it, being just 11 and 12 years old at the time, but I still think that even if I had been older, I’d have the same opinion. My sister was massively into NKOTB at this time too, and honestly, even I liked them just a little by association and being into the pop culture world then. I do remember the cartoon vaguely. NKOTB were absolutely everywhere at that time. Concerts, TV specials, toys, posters, buttons, trading cards, and obviously music stores. It’s funny how some artists had cartoons though too like NKOTB, as well as Kid ‘n’ Play and MC Hammer. Or even athletes like Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, and Wayne Gretzky in the show Pro Stars. Most look pretty ridiculous today, but at the time they were just fun, solidifying our fandom. Man do I miss that time today.
I never liked the Celeb Cartoons, with the exception of Jackie Chan and maybe Mr T. NKOTB was one of the more attrocous ones. I liked Darkwing Duck, was better than Duck Tales in my opinion. But best Disney series was (and still is) hands down Gargoyles. We nowadays find it hard to believe that the beloved cartoon series were onyl one season because we have grown accustomed to seasons with only 6-12 episodes, when back then a season was typically 26-52 (and sometimes up to 102) episodes.
Born in '81. I watched TailSpin all the time! I loved when Kit would jump on his flying surfboard so much. Made me want to fly so badly... and now I'm a pilot 🙂
I was born in 1977 and 13 in 1990. I remember watching the new He-Man every morning before I would go off to school. I thought it was decent but still wasn't as good as the original. I would watch Kid N Play with Super Mario 3 as part of the Captain N block. Then one Saturday morning in the Spring, our local NBC Affiliate out of Nashville, WSMV Channel 4, took off Captain N/Super Mario 3 in favor of a local Saturday morning news and variety show. I remember I was beyond pissed that they did that. But at least it was over by the time Kid N Play was on.
Tale Spin is unique among these because it had a TWO HOUR pilot episode (no pun intended). Cultural tropes aside it was actually a brilliant piece of 90s cartoon making. The energy from this TV show spilled over into other projects at Disney, most notably the live action feature “The Rocketeer”.
That, Batman the animated series,Rugrats, Dexter's Laboratory and Hey Arnold I sure wish I had my own TV channel I play the shows that I enjoyed as a kid.
Peter Pan and the Pirates was in 90 and only one season. I used to watch that one all the time. I thought the animation was pretty great looking plus Tim Curry as Captain Hook?!? It was pretty awesome. Does anyone else remember that show?
Imagine having your own cartoon series and an offer for a live action sitcom, but then out of protest for the cartoon cancellation refuse to do the sitcom and have a competitor come in and replace you and the show goes on to become one of the most iconic sitcoms of the decade.
Tail Spin was a masterpiece. It had so many elements. It was like a kid version of Cheers. Surprised it was only around for one season. I hated the new He-Man. The new design was so sanitized and the cartoon was bland. The Kid and Play situation was crazy because they got House Party because of a lawsuit Will Smith got into with Hollywood studios for one of his videos using horror movie characters. Will passed on the movie with New Line and it went to KNP. Then for KNP to lose their cartoon and sitcom only for it to go to Will Smith is wild coincidence. Good Stuff🤙🏾🤙🏾
Nah! Tale Spin was more WINGS than CHEERS dude! If you go back and compare! But the only 2 I remember watching as a Kid off this list was TaleSpin & The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 as I didn't see there others at all. Also the 1 thing I hated looking back that Cartoons were slowly less being about the Carny Toony ways and more forced by the Gov't to have each episode teach us a Educational Informational Issues instead. As the Govt of FTC more so Killed Ol skool Cartoons from the Big 4 Nets by 2001 w/ the last of the Sitcoms/Toons more so being the Teen NBC Lineup whom actually weren't every ewppy shilling the E/I crap that was forced upon us!
@Ereskigal I was a kid and watched Cheers. Thats how I made the connection when I was watching Tail Spin. Sam Malone is Baloo, Diana was Rebecca Cunningham. Woody and Kit were almost the same characters. Fraiser Krane and Shere Khan are the same in their demeanors. Tail Spin is the kid version of Cheers. Baloo is actually an amalgamation of Sam and Norm.
I was 10 in 1990 and remember a lot of this. 1. Little Rosie - I remember not minding this show. One episode stuck in my head is her complaining about decimals in math class - I could sympathize lol 2. I was a huge MOTU fan but the new He-Man didn't interest me. Even at 10 I could tell it was a sad take on the character. 3. I remember the Super Mario 3 cartoon was very popular. 4. Barnyard Commandos - I know I had some action figures but I don't remember the show. 5. I loved Tale Spin - I agree, I was surprised it was only one season.
I was 7 in '90 and ALSO remember most of these cartoons. 1. Little Rosie. Had forgotten all about it until 2023. Dr Animaction had mentioned it on his Channel. I remember this being a rather forgettable Poor Man's Bobby's World. 2. He-Man '90 was a Complete Misfire. I remember. Because it had been relegated to Weekday Mornings which was the Graveyard for anything Syndicated.(The Original Filmation MOTU was a Weekday Afternoon stable throughout the entire 80s. 3. Watched Capt N and SMB 3. In fact, I remember SMB 3 being FAR more interesting than Captain N. 4. Barnyard Commandos, I remember the Toys and Action Figures, but I Don't remember the Cartoon. I don't think I cared for it or ever even tried to. At the time, it came on after Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, which I wasn't a fan of either. 5. Talespin. I was in LOVE with this Cartoon. I mean, I fell HARD for it. I REFUSED to miss it whenever it was on. I remember watching the Plunder and Lighting TV special on September 7,1990 on Disney Channel, and giddly cheering when Baloo flew the Tired Shielded Sea Duck into Karnage's Lightning Gun. I clapped and cheered when the Laser didn't work. Disney Television canceled plans for additional episodes because they were convinced that Darkwing Duck was going to be a Big Hit and kept throwing alot of money at Darkwing Duck. They didn't even make a Pilot TV Movie, they just kept aggressively marketing Darkwing Duck, but 13 Episodes in, ALOT of kids like me in '91, just threw in the Towel, it wasn't working the way that Disney thought. Alot of my classmates saw it as a "Weird and Dumb Ducktales Spinoff that makes fun of Batman. It THINKS its clever". Kids didn't want Disney Satirizing Batman, we wanted a Batman CARTOON that was close to the Tim Burton film. We got it exactly one year later.
I never got to watch Little Rosey. At the same time it was on, University of Tennessee football highlights with the late Head Coach, Johnny Majors, was on and my Dad watched it every Saturday morning during football season.
Putting it into perspective Tale Spin produced sixty-five episodes that aired continuously into the late 2000s, so realistically it didn't *need* more than that one season, like many other well-loved animated and live-action TV shows that are still fondly remembered regardless of how many episodes were produced.
TaleSpin is such an awesome show and I watched it religiously (including Duck Tales, Chip & Dale & Darkwing Duck). I never knew it lasted only one season, but having 65 episodes total is already impressive. I think it mainly because each episodes were stand alone stories, and not a continuous story like current shows.
I watched them religiously, too. I remember one day the power company was working on a pole down the street and messed something up - frying everything in everyone's house on the block. We were without a TV for almost a month! It was worse than medieval times. 😂 To this day I'll still walk into work and spout, _"I am the terror that FLAPS in the night! I am the phone call from your mother asking when you're going to get married!"_
As a seven-year-old girl who was in love with the New Kids on the Block (and planned on marry most of them,) I watched EVERY episode and I had all of the merchandise that I could get my little hands on! Sorry, mom! 😂🤑
I feel that...I was 9 and absolutely crazy for them, watched the show, had the dolls (only my favorites, so I had Jordan and Joe...my older cousins were equally crazy for them and had their faves as dolls, so I think we had just shy of the whole collection between us!), had the phone and managed to get my own phone number to go with it, and because my parents had money like that back when, they got me and my three older cousins tickets for a concert as part of my birthday present! I was a horrible little boyband fangirl gremlin back then...it's kind of funny to look at that and compare to my music tastes now. Somewhere along the line, I went from boyband pop to metal, and never looked back.
Oh Lord, my female cousins and the girls in our neighborhood LOVED NKOTB. I hated them and caught Hell for always talking crap about them. I was obsessed with The Simpsons back then and my cousins would try to get under my skin talking about how they thought that The Simpsons was stupid.
@@Jigglysaint I know they did reboot DuckTales and I seen the chip and dale movie. It's not rescue rangers. Lol but yeahhh it's still not that old school
The thing that has to be remembered about a lot of eighties, nineties, and earlier cartoons is, one season back then could equal several seasons now. Some shows now have anywhere from thirteen to twenty-five, or so, shows a season. The New Adventures of He-Man and Tale Spin each have one season, but there are sixty-five episodes in each of them. Several cartoons did this back then, showing everything bunched into one season, but having the equal to multiple seasons worth of shows in that one season.
@@jonathan2260 Still, when you think one season, that means around thirteen to twenty-four to twenty-six episodes, more or less... Usually thirteen. A syndication season would be the equivalent of about five thirteen-episode seasons long.
@@LlorDrei I'm uncertain what that adds to the discussion. Yes, that would be the equivalent of several regular seasons worth of episodes. If we're going to drag this dead horse any further, the problem is that streaming seems to have killed the cash cow that was syndication. To make 65 episodes without knowing for sure that it was going to be popular was quite a gamble. So syndication was an incentive to mass produce a show. Heck, it was the reason a show like Robotech ended up being created whatever you may feel about that.
@@LlorDrei Talespin Started production in 1989 and had 65 Episodes ready by the Mid Autumn of 1990. Initially, Disney Executives wanted a 2nd Series called "Tale Spin: Jet Speed" which had 26 Episodes planned, but Disney Television itself believed Darkwing Duck would be a more viable IP and thus easier to license,market and merchandise, so production stopped in late 1991.
@@Tornado1994 But, what I'm saying is, a normal season is thirteen, or so episodes. They may have extended the season out, and called it just one season, by fitting all the episodes into it, but, it is in actuality a five season long cartoon, that they just call one season long.
The Adventures of Super Mario 3, Swamp Thing & Tail Spin were among my favorites as a 10 year old kid in 1990. This brings back memories. Thanks for the upload.
I remember all of these cartoons. Talespin was and still is one of my favorite cartoons growing up. The kid from wake, rattle, and roll also voiced Kit Cloudkicker from Talespin.
Sixty-Five half-hour episodes in one season of TALESPIN?? I feel INCREDIBLY LUCKY to have been a fan of this wonderful show! Shoot, imagine if we could get that many episodes out of Rick and Morty in one season?
One thing has stuck in my head as truly hysterical. I remember Baloo saying that something was worse than Louie's "All you can stand for a dollar" chili special.
Tale Spin was amazing. Hard to believe that one only lasted one season. Also, seeing Wake, Rattle, and Roll was a trip. I completely forgot about this, but now remember it fondly.
I heard the reason Talespin only ran for one season was Disney had a policy of only having a total of sixty five episodes per show. Apparently, the makers of Gummi Bears intended for the show to continue even after it reached that total number of episodes. But Disney reinforced that policy.
Gummi Bears originally ran on Saturday Mornings on NBC Back in 1985 until 1989. It had ALREADY reached 65 episodes by the Fall of 1986. Gummi Bears was moved to Syndication in '89. Gummi Bears had been on the air since '85. And started off as a SATURDAY MORNING Cartoon. By the Time Disney Afternoon debuted, Gummi Bears was in its final season of production.
Gummy bears sucked I watched two episodes with my son and he couldn’t sit and watch it. If my kids can sit there and watch it, that should tell you something.
I was very disappointed with Gummy Bears and their gummy bear juice. I would have preferred more seasons of Talespin. Thank God I had Ducktales to fall back on when I was a kid.
@@Tornado1994 Huh, I hadn't realized Gummi Bears was still in production that late. That show felt old and stale long before it got to Disney Afternoon.
I llkjed the New Adventures of He-Man. It had a particular humor I liked and Skeletor seemed to be smart in this one. I dont enjoy shows where the bad guys are moronically stupid, and in this one Skeletor was kind of a smart bad guy.
I find it hard to believe Tale Spin was only 1 season but it was 65 episodes which would make it seem longer. I'm from the UK so only a few of these made it over here. Think Super Mario 3 made and New Adventures of He-Man. I also remember a girl in my class cried because New Kids On The Block broke up while I was celebrating. Had a severe hatred for boy bands in the 90s.
We definitely had the mario cartoons IE smw it had Yoshi in it, smb3 etc over in the UK, I vaguely remember it also having Captain N in one of the shows like they show mario in the first half then Captain N and the game master in the other I think we also had the legend of Zelda cartoon too with the Excuse me princess catchphrase from link
Yeah I thought that as well. These days, you're lucky if you get more than 12 episodes per season, maybe 20 in a well established show. That would mean 2-5 season's worth of TaleSpin... A good run ! I watched TailSpin on reruns in college in the mid-nineties, I liked having the TV on doing boring homework and I got accustomed with a lot of cartoons I would've otherwise missed at that age. Was "Conan the Adventurer" a one season show as well? I forget, but nobody ever remembers that show nowadays. Good memories ! (EDIT: It ran for a year so yeah, one season of 60 some episodes as well... Good stuff !)
Gravedale High (or Rick Moranis in Gravedale High) is the one single-season 90's cartoon I wish everyone remembered for how much Monster High resembles it.
@@ForemanFitness52I was hardly a fan of the show, but I can still remember that Rick Moranis (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) was involved, and the theme was pretty catchy! "Graaaavedaaaale Hiiiigh....Please take a seat, yeah, we're dying to meet ya" lol
I was 18 in 1990, so I wasn't necessarily into cartoons. I was aware of most of these, due to commercials, but the only one I watched was Tailspin in the afternoons after school. It was my second favorite Disney cartoon after Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers.
The 90's was the last golden era for Disney and it was slowly dying when the 2000's started where I had to wait until midnight for something good to watch when on Toon Disney.
I can understand why Super Mario Bros 3 ran for one season. Because of Super Mario World. But I did love the cast of new characters, including the Koopa Kids! There are some honorable mentions: Piggsburg Pigs Potsworth and Co.
Talespin was one of my favorite cartoons in the 90s. I had no idea it only ran for one season. It seems like i watched it for much longer than that. And Wake, Rattle, and Roll, I remember watching that every morning before school.
Most Disney toons (and many live actions too) have 65 episode runs. It was very rare they would go beyond that. Tale Spin was on the same playing field as DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers and Goof Troop, whether or not history breaks it up into multiple seasons or not.
It's amazing how many episodes were part of "1 season" back then. It was awesome growing up with a cartoon block you could look forward to having new episodes each day of the week.
I was 10 in 1990 so a lot of these I remember. Little Rosey, definitely remember the show, but must not have watched it too much because only the theme song rings a bell. I also remember Super Mario Bros 3 (was obsessed with anything Mario) and Wake Rattle and Roll. So shocked about Tail Spin. That was one of my staples as a kid along with Duck Tales, and Darksing Duck. I think they always came on back to back, maybe that's why it feels like it was more than one season. Maybe they just kept playing reruns of Tail Spin even as the other shows kept getting new episodes. Wow, as kids we're just so oblivious to stuff like that!
For everyone confused about the 65 episode season: that's five days a week for 13 weeks, or three months. Most shows these days debut a new episode once a week, not every weekday.
It always used to be they came up with 65 episodes for a daily cartoon, but the Saturday morning (weekly, obviously) cartoons were 13 episodes, so for whatever reason they wanted 13 weeks of content.
I enjoyed Tale Spin and I'm surprised it only ran for one season. I liked it so much I rewatched the series when I was laid off during the Great Recession. Which started 15 years ago, but that's almost as long as the difference between 1990 and the start of the Great Recession. Weird.
65 episodes for one season of New He-Man. Man, it amazes me how much material was made back then. Now, popular IP like Futurama can only get 10 episodes.
Tailspin was the only one that I remembered, and I loved the cartoon even as a young adult. Hard to believe that it actually only ran for one season. One of the other characters that you forgot to mention that was a Main cast was “wildcat“, who worked with Baloo
talespin may have only had one season. But it had over FIFTY episodes.. which is WAY more than most shows got through multiple seasons even back then. So it def did something pretty good, or it would've only run for a typical 26-13 episode season. Something I'm not seeing on here is Pirates of Darkwater. sadly it only got one season and that was that.. :( Never got to wrap up its story at all... at least on screen.. now that I'm thinking of it i wonder if it had a comic book that finished it..
An important fact is that many shows with a single season still had over 50 episodes. What was considered a cartoon season was different in the 80s and 90s than what it is today.
I loved dark wing duck, duck tales, goof troop chip N Dale and most of all talespin! Those were the cartoons that after school I would run to the TV for!
It is fun to look at all of these and realize some have not crossed my mind in decades. Tail Spin was definitely the one I remember the most. Many TV shows and movies from the 80's and 90's have a sense of nostalgia not just because of my but that my grandparents were the only people I knew who had satellite television. Spending my weekends at their house made me excited to watch movies on HBO and cartoons on the Disney Channel. I still remember that giant dish in their yard which seemed to stick out as if an alien had crash landed there.
I grew up watching Tailspin all the time. I even became a pilot because of the show. I think I was more shocked to learn that there were no such thing as sky pirates then Santa clause lol.
I remember learning about the Kid & Play cartoon from the early days of RU-vid. (2007 to 2008.) I was born in 1990 and I had no idea that show existed until later on. Then Nostalgia Critic and other channels like The Mysterious Mr. Enter started reviewing these cartoons. I got a good laugh out of these channels. But all harsh reviews you don't need to take seriously aside, I think Kid & Play is what Andre 3000 did a bit better. Someone had to fail so someone else in the future could improve the concept. For better or for worse someone had to lay the foundation and I'm glad it was Kid & Play. House Party was and still is one of the greatest films in Hip Hop culture. The attempt at expanding into kid friendly cartoons is proof of that.
Thanks for sharing. It's pretty amazing when you look back at the casting of House Party. A bunch of them went on to have a successful career in stand-up. 👍 did you watch the 2023 House Party movie?
I can't believe Tailspin and Mario only had one?. Granted seasons back than had like 30+ episodes versus the 6 to 8 episodes you get now in modern day.
I was surprised that Tale Spin was only a single season. I didn't have Disney, so I feel like I *still* haven't seen all 65 episodes. I loved the setting and the recontextualization of the Jungle Book characters. It was so creative! I can't believe it didn't get renewed.
I loved Tail Spin. Back in the 80s, 90s, things like cartoons were so much better, especially when I season of a good show or cartoon was more than 7 or 8 episodes. Tail Spin had 65 episodes in only one season, which is why it was good. Growing up during the 80s and 90s was such a great experience before the computer and smartphone took over everyone's life. We had to go outside to have fun with our friends, my friends, and I never wanted to be stuck inside our houses 🏘. Music was great, and movies were great 👍 if you were a kid back,then you were lucky to experience the world through your own eyes, not thru your smartphone or computer
I remember watching the Fender Bender 500 back in the 90s when I was very young as I love seeing the characters from Hanna Barbera face each other in the race with Dick Dastary and Muttley still cheating just in Wacky Race. I really wished this series is finally released onto complete DVD at last because it deserved it.
Man, Saturday morning cartoons were the best! I think our oarents loved it as much as us kids(mainly because we didn't bother them fir 2-3 hour stretch) I distinctly remember tailspin was one of my favorites along with teenage mutant ninja turtles and Ghostbusters
I vividly remember Tail Spin. This classic show was part of what was called "The Disney Afternoon" The Disney Afternoon was a 4-show block of Disney animated mini-serieses. If I remember correctly, the initial shows were The Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Goof Troop, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, and Duck Tales. After the cancellation of Tail Spin, it was replaced by Darkwing Duck which also took place in Duckberg the same town setting as Duck Tales. There was only one crossover character between the two shows and that was Launchpad McQuack. I do believe that Gimmi Bears was pulled and Bonkers which was that show's replacement. Now, Duck Tales has a theatrically released movie titled "Duck Tales The Treasure of the Lost Lamp." Duck Tales initially ran from 1987-1990. Due to popular demand, Disney brought the show back in 2017 and ended the revival series in 2021. Goof Troop had two theatrically released movies. The first one is properly titled "A Goofy Movie," and the second one is "An Extremely Goofy Movie. If you haven't seen any of the three movie spinoffs, do so. They are fun to watch with your kids, nostalgia's sake, or if you are an old fart like myself, who is a kid at heart.
Darkwing Duck was set in the city of St. Canard, which was near Duckburg. Launchpad McQuack wasn't the only character from DuckTales to appear in Darkwing Duck: Gizmoduck made guest appearances in a few episodes.
@@kbramlett6877 Did you know that there was a CD released? Disney Afternoon Music from the then 4 Disney Shows! The disc includeslonger versions of the themes from Ducktales, Gummi Bears, Talespin and Chip N Dales Rescue Rangers. 🤗💽📻📼
I saw that banned episode on the Disney Afternoon lineup here in Oklahoma, in the early -mid 90's. In fact, I'm sure they ran both episodes as I haven't watched the show since it was on the air, but I'm familiar with the plots of both, I definitely remember the panda episode, pretty sure it was a Sheng-Ra-La episode.
Of course Fox 23 in Tulsa didn't carry the actual "Disney Afternoon" block. It aired all of the shows,Gummi Bears,Ducktales,Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers,and Talespin,and all in the same order that they aired on the block every day and the same episodes as appeared on the actual Disney Afternoon,but Fox 23 ran each show individually rather than running the actual DA block. It was basically an unnamed Disney Afternoon block of it's own. It didn't matter though as long as my favorite Disney TV shows still got shown every day.
@@JamesSmith-jq6om OKC. Believe it was Fox25, but we didn't have the Gummy Bears, that came on Saturday. We got Ducktails, Rescue Rangers, Tailspin, And my personal favorite, Darkwing Duck.
I loved Talespin and watched it often as a kid. It was my 1st "canceled" show and it really upset me back then. It suffered the same fate as Darkwing Duck... got too serious, too dark and too sad at times. Parents want to plug their kids into a show and walk away and NOT have to explain why the lead character and their younger, kid age sidekick are really upset with each other.
I still remeber watchng barnyard comandos on vhs tapes my grandparents borrowed from rental store. Theme song was stuck in my head rent free for decades :P
