I'm really starting to dislike Disney XD...

[Spengebab]

Only 2 have been confirmed. I haven't seen anything official saying that it's been renewed through season 3.

Either way it's great that it's even getting 2 seasons.

That's just a fan account. It says in the bio that it's not affiliated with Disney.

I'm not sure that why they listen to some user that's not affiliated to the company nor legit.

It's possible they didn't notice. At first glance, it does look real.

I was just gonna create a thread on this topic! While I don't dislike Disney XD yet, I recently became frustrated with the network for some of the same reasons that are already mentioned. I was also upset because I felt that Disney XD is giving too much attention to Star vs. the Forces of Evil, perhaps more than any other animated series currently on the network, and pandering to the show's fans. You see, as much as I liked Star (or at least I used to) and some other DXD series, I care a whole lot about The 7D -- I run a wiki and its blog and even made friends because of it (and a backer of a campaign for a third season of the series). Recently I started questioning Disney XD's decisions over its programming. I really don't understand why it was decided to cancel The 7D around the time the second season premiered in January to decent ratings (the announcement was later made public in April) and barely promoting any new episodes for the most part -- causing the ratings to drop -- as well as cancelling Wander because it has enough episodes, while at the same time the heavily promoted SvtFoE was announced for a third season before the second season premiered. And they never promoted Atomic Puppet when it was airing.

I made some posts in my blogs that goes into detail about Disney XD in general and the network's treatment of The 7D if anyone's interested.

Again, I liked Star, but these recent developments made me lost interest in it, so I stopped watching it. I really think that SvtFoE is over hyped over nothing other that it's just simply popular.

You're thinking of Fangbone - Atomic Puppet at least got some promotion.

I can't hold ill feelings towards Disney XD, not after they did so much for action animation while every other network was actively purging action from their time slots.

I'm honestly not surprised that WOY, RC, and 7D got cancelled. Good promotion or not, the shows were never a big hit in their first season. Networks all over don't want to sit around and wait to see if the shows ratings will get better or not, especially for animation due to the long production process. Usually by the time the show airs, half of the crew is off on other projects or gone entirely because they already wrapped up work on the season.
As fun as WOY was in the first season, this show didn't get more popular until the second season (no doubt thanks to Lord Dominator). If the fanbase for the show was as strong then as it was now, it'd likely have gotten a third season.

As for issues concerning acquired programming: I don't know why networks bother to pick up shows and give it lousy timeslots and little promotion. Maybe it's a matter of budgets concerning their marketing. Maybe it's a matter of priorities. Maybe there's some LAW that a network is required to pick up third party programming. I wish I knew!

Oh, sorry for bringing false information. I got this from someone else and I apologize for misleading you. Anyway, yeah, just ignore that post and move on. We know Season 2 is confirmed, at least.

 

[D-nice is the man.]

Only main problem with the channel is they over Promote Star vs. the Forces of Evil too much like it's the "Next in Line in the Royal Throne" not that i hate the show, they're not really giving shows much attention especially on their Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook pages too.

Yeah I noticed it getting a lot of ads as well on YouTube as well as Atomic Puppet, while other shows don't see ads like those.

I believe Craig said the Disney XD wanted a third season of Wander Over Yonder as well, but their higher ups told to that 43 episodes were enough.

After seeing how abruptly and suddenly Disney management did a complete 180 degree turn and cancelled Disney Infinity after saying they would support it a month earlier, I can actually see how something like this could happen.

Now, it feels as though to get to a third season, a cartoon needs a substantial fan base before the first episode airs. Star vs. The Forces of Evil had that before it premiered, yet other shows like Wander and Penn Zero did not in comparison, so Star got a third season but the other two didn't. It is as though the standard now is how much you can build up a cartoon in the months before its premiere, rather than wait for the first season ratings as it used to be.

As for acquiring shows, I wonder about some of Disney XD's decisions myself. Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir airs on the Disney Channels in many of the international markets, yet for the U.S., Disney XD was unwilling to acquire the third party show for their channel? I would like to know if Disney really did have an offer to air the show and turned it down, but for right now, it is only rumors. Also, you would have thought reading about Doraemon when it first aired in the U.S., Disney XD thought it was going to be a popular show, yet it has not worked out that way at all.

Networks have long played favorites, so that is not surprising. It's just that some networks air more of the same programming than others. And you can probably go ahead and say the Ducktales and the Big Hero 6 animated series will be treated with favoritism when they air on Disney XD in 2017 too.

Says you - it only adds fuel to the fire for me with how much I dislike said example and feel sorry that PZ: PTH and WoY didn't get more seasons, now... I knew over-hyping things was an issue with this channel - but with Star Vs., it feels Spongebob - levels of bad to me. I'm really hoping those new shows in 2017 don't get as over-hyped, now...

Saw this posted today on the Atomic Puppet instagram, https://www.instagram.com/p/BI5DWlwA4l7/?taken-by=atomicpuppet so that's pretty official! Wonder if it's the same deal with Fangbone? Back in the fall? Either way happy that we're gonna be getting more episodes of at least 1 good show....

Whatever happened to the Fangbone Q&A? Did I miss that?

Glad to hear that Atomic Puppet is returning soon. Hopefully reruns will be placed on the weekday schedule as well.

I'd gladly take the Star VS. commercials over the Future Worm ones.

I hope so, I'm expecting Fangbone to get the same as Atomic Puppet has.

If Fangbone! comes back, too, I'll begin to feel much better about things - even if they are acquisitions, they're at least good (enough) ones, unlike most the stuff DXD tends to pick up in this area.

-Nearly every acquisition Disney XD has tends to get screwed over so quickly. Doraemon and Boyster lasted for about a year (the latter still has some unaired episodes), Camp Lakebottom lasted for almost two years with an unaired second season, and it seems that Atomic Puppet, Fangbone! and Counterfeit Cat won't come back after each of them were only on the air for two weeks this summer (unless they return in the fall, but that's just a possibly). The former two weren't even promoted at all. Heck, all three don't even have their show pages set up on the channel's website. So far, Yo-Kai Watch, Star Wars Rebels, Lego Star Wars and the Marvel shows are the only acquisitions that are still listed on the channel and none of them hasn't gotten screwed yet.

I think that they haven't screwed over those 3 shows because Marvel and Star Wars are well-known and directly owned by Disney, and they like to air Yo-Kai Watch since the game took off and Disney XD wanted to have a show that competes with Pokémon.
