Talk:The Disney Afternoon

Untitled
I think it's important we only cover the Disney Afternoon in the timeline, in the article it states that it lasted only 8 seasons but in the timeline you clearly use Disney's One Saturday Morning for the last few seasons. If no one objects to this I'm going to chop it down so the timeline only features shows that were part of The Disney Afternoon.-Deathawk 23:36, 27 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree, and I'm removing the later material, putting it here. It probably best belongs in other articles, like that for Disney's One Saturday Morning. It is being placed here in case someone wants to move it there later. Skybunny 16:37, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

More recently, the Disney Afternoon was altered and aired on the Disney Channel. The tagline was "Animate afternoons your way!".

What Channels?
This article doesn't seem to very well specify exactly what channels The Disney Afternoon aired on. I remember watching on either ABC or CBS, but was it on both? This was around 1991 and I didn't have the Disney Channel, so I'm sure that wasn't it. I had a similar problem with the TailSpin article in that it vaguely explained the channels it aired on. Any improvements on this would be appreciated. Cale 03:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The Disney Afternoon and the shows that were a part of it were syndicated, meaning they weren't bought by networks, they were bought by individual affiliates. So it may have aired on ABC in one city and on NBC in another, and it could move around from station to station or disappear depending on which affiliate(s) wanted it. (In my own city the WB aired it and before that Fox, and it may have even been on other stations before that.) Is this something that should be explained in the main article?--Calluna (talk) 23:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Las Vegas, NV, has strange airtimes for Disney Afternoon. KVVU aired the shows, but not in the Afternoon, but in the morning. 7 AM was Rescue Rangers, 730 was Alvin and the Chipmunks, 8 AM was ???, and 830 was either TaleSpin or DuckTales, depending on the gravitational pull of Pluto's moon.


 * In the afternoon, TaleSpin was the 3:30 show, but that's it. Then DA moved to KRLR and was the Disney Afternoon as we know it. Then, when KRLR became KUPN, they broke it up again, with DuckTales on at 5 AM, and the others spread around. Then it just disappeared. Apple8800 (talk) 05:10, 14 December 2010 (UTC)


 * My memory just cleared up:


 * 7:00 - Club Mario http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urrd7vfJLKk http://www.mariowiki.com/Club_Mario
 * 7:30 - Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers http://www.boom-kids.com/chip-n-dale-rescue-rangers-01-cover-b.html
 * 8:00 - Alvin and the Chipmunks
 * 8:30 - DuckTales


 * 3:00 - Gummi Bears
 * 3:30 - TaleSpin
 * 4:00 - ???
 * 4:30 - Batman

Disney Adventures?
Well, I've been searching around online and I can't find any evidence to back up my claim, but in Australia during the 90s, directly after "Saturday Disney" on Channel 7, a show would start called "Disney Adventures" which fits the description of The Disney Afternoon. The Title Sequence featured various Disney characters of the time, and had the same logo as the Disney Adventures magazine.

Anyone know anything about this? Was "Disney Adventures" just a rename of TDA in Australia? I'd see that as likely, as I think the show started around 11AM, and therefore wouldn't have been "After Noon" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.214.218.51 (talk) 22:35, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Music
Who wrote and sang the theme? Also is anybody aware that soundtrack was published in 1990? Sarujo (talk) 07:18, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Gladstone/Disney/Marvel/Gemstone/Boom! and Disney Adventures
Considering that there are always comicbooks of the Disney Afternoon made, why doesn't this article list, acknowledge, and inform as such?

Boom! Kids is currently making DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, and Darkwing Duck. Marvel published The Disney AFternoon for quite a while, and Disney Adventures, from the issues I read (but donated) from the early part of the digest's genesis always had Disney Afternoon comics as well.

Beginning in 2010, comics publisher Boom! Studios began publishing a Darkwing Duck miniseries under their KABOOM line along with other licensed Disney titles based around Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, and others. Sales were so successful, that the series transitioned into an ongoing series and Boom! purchased more licenses from Disney based on the old Disney Afternoon block.

Current series

 * Darkwing Duck (June 2010 – November 2011)
 * Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (December 2010 - July 2011)

Section "Approximate lineup by seasons" Needs work
The table format there is outdated (and, let's face it, visually ugly). That old table format was discontinued for a reason (it was always an eye sore, even back when it was current for new tables). Anyway, we switched to the cool-grey-colored tables we use now here on Wikipedia quite a while ago. Please. Let's finally update that table in this Article.

Disney-Kellogg Alliance
, please read the article and check the changes made, before you go an make an unneeded reversal. It is the internal/industry name as the article was changed to read "the unbranded Disney-Kellogg Alliance" It partly explains why the block goes unbranded in the last two years and is used by "Variety", Daily News and the Animated World Magazine. Second, notable doesn't apply to content with in the article, reliable source is. Spshu (talk) 20:50, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Variety: "The Disney-Kellogg Alliance, formerly known as “The Disney Afternoon,” would cease to exist in syndication,..."
 * Variety in another article: Mort Marcus, head of Disney’s syndication division Buena Vista TV, is also anxious to find a home for the Disney-Kellogg Alliance, formerly known as the Disney Afternoon.
 * "Weekday Syndication/Disney-Kellogg's Alliance: What used to be "The Disney Afternoon" has been reduced to a 90-minute block sponsored by Kellogg's."
 * http://www.thefreelibrary.com/NEWS+%26+NOTES%5CDisney-Kellogg%27s+partnership+to+yield+%27101+Dalmations%27...-a083923646 Daily News (Los Angeles, CA)]: "'101 Dalmatians' is the first original series created through a partnership between Disney and Kellogg's. Disney is selling stations a 90-minute block under the Disney-Kellogg's Alliance banner."
 * Well, I want a general consensus before you restore it. I want to see what everyone else has to say. Electric  Burst (Electron firings)(Zaps) 20:52, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * For restoring Disney-Kellogg Alliance
 * While you wait for other comments, please read WP:NNC: Notability guidelines do not apply to content within an article. (With how low other rate notability on WP with three different sources including Variety, if notability was applied I don't see how it could not meet WP standards.) I don't see how this is WP:UNDUE as it is it name, it just wasn't branded that on the block and was general referred to as "The Disney Afternoon". As I am not asking to move the article as it was the common name or even branded name. Spshu (talk) 21:09, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * RfC: Disney-Kellogg Alliance: Should the name, "Disney-Kellogg Alliance", the block's later name when Disney Afternoon went with out branding during its last two years of syndication, be indicated in the article? --Spshu (talk) 23:30, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Since no one responded to the RfC, how about we apply at Third opinion? Spshu (talk) 14:44, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

About your Third Opinion request: Your request for a Third Opinion has been removed (i.e. declined). Like all other moderated content dispute resolution venues at Wikipedia, 3O requires thorough recent talk page discussion before seeking assistance. The discussion here has been neither thorough nor recent. Wikipedia is built around a model of collaborative editing which means that editors who disagree should attempt to work together to reach a solution rather than merely disagreeing and calling out for help. Once that has been attempted — and discussion through edit comments is not sufficient — you may then seek help through dispute resolution if you cannot come to an agreement.

 * That is nice, TransporterMan, but outside opinion is what the roadblocking editor requested, so that doesn't move anything forward. I cannot force him to state his objects. So in order to get this editor back here, I have to go towards a 3RR violation. Spshu (talk) 16:06, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Request for discussion
You need to discussion your reason for not allowing "Disney-Kellogg Alliance" into the article. It is sourced via reliable sources thus should be included. Spshu (talk) 19:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it should not be included in the infobox because it's an unofficial name. Electric  Burst (Electron firings)(Zaps) 19:51, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It had no branded name during this period. Disney-Kellogg Alliance (DKA) was its name that it was marketed with and referred to in the industry. I assume it was the block's official name based on its use, just they did not want to use it for the block branding and could not come up with another name for it. Should it then be blank instead? Its status as its official name or not isn't a criteria for it to be listed in the article or infobox. WP:COMMONNAME is the standard for name articles. Spshu (talk) 22:46, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * But why use it in the infobox? Electric  Burst (Electron firings)(Zaps) 23:19, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It is its name just like ABC, Inc. is Disney-ABC TV Group's official name but not the name they used. Spshu (talk) 18:31, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

This discussion has been referred to WikiProject Television out of a need to hash it out in a larger forum. Electric Burst (Electron firings)(Zaps) 23:27, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I restored it, partially, but with a bit more information on why it was suddenly involving Kellogg's. ViperSnake151   Talk  20:23, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Closure of the block
Who says that The Disney Afternoon blocked ended on August 29, 1997? None of the shows had an episode as far as I know aired on that day. Mighty Ducks ended on January 17 and the other shows had episodes airing on different days of the week. All other shows ended before 1997. Evope 21:21, 11 October 2019‎
 * It did not as it was extend as an unbranded block under the working/internal title of Disney-Kellogg Alliance. Adding this information screeched to a halt due to a single editor that would not discuss the issue except to object and wanting other editors to comment. See above (Talk:The_Disney_Afternoon#Disney-Kellogg_Alliance). Spshu (talk) 14:25, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
