What Happened To Gummi Bears?

[PaulNJ21]

Does anyone know why Gummi Bears has fallen off the schedule in recent years on the Disney Channel and Toon Disney? Does someone in management just not like it or something?

It's not just Gummi Bears. Look at the current Toon Disney schedule: Outside of Tale Spin, every Disney Afternoon era show has been shelved in favor or mid 90's to current day shows and the ever expanding Jetix block.

Gummi Bears wasn't TD's first victim, though. After GB was gone, they started filtering EVERY 80's show down, starting with Care Bears and their early weekend morning Dic cartoon block. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog soon followed, and now 95% of the Disney Afternoon shows.

In the next five years, as Kim Possible, Lilo & Stitch, Dave the Barbarian, Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, and every other modern day Disney shows crosses over to Toon Disney, look for Tale Spin, The Weekenders, 101 Dalmations, and Gargoyles (at least Gargoyles will survive on DVD) to go back into the TD vault as well.

[Inkan1969]

I really hope these blocks of the same show are only temporary. They're such a big waste of space. :(

[Michael24]

Really! TALESPIN is the only Disney Afternoon show still on ToonDisney? I saw some episodes of it and DUCKTALES just a few months ago at a friend's house, and I so wanted digital cable so that I could see then everyday. Darn!

[Wolfcruiser]

Yeah, such a crime that they completely shelved Disney's first ever TV toon. I liked the Gummi Bears and would love to see them again.

[Ferquin]

I ate them.

[One Radical Dude]

Why can't Toon Disney be more like Cartoon Network's Boomerang? I hardly remember seeing any very recent CN programs on that channel.

Anyway, I miss the Gummi Bears on TV. It hasn't been seen on the tube since a year or so after Toon Disney debuted. Same can be said for some of the other classics.

[Roaming Tigress]

Dang, I miss that show now, thanks alot guys ;) I got that show when I had Family Channel, back when they still showed Darkwing Duck. I enjoyed it as much then as I do now.

Well, maybe not "Little Mermaid" since it is part of the "Power Princess" block, but it might definitely happen. I don't know if "Gargoyles" will be leaving so soon now that it is a part of the Jetix block, and definitely not "Weekenders", because that show is re-runed to death. Who knows? I never really thought about all of the classic DA shows leaving TD, but I can't believe I was so stupid to not think about it, seeing how the older better pre-2001 TD cancelled "The Gummi Bears", "Jungle Cubs", "Schnookums & Meat Funny Cartoon Show", "Raw Toonage", Marsupilami", "Talespin", etc. Although TD did bring "Talespin" back when they changed their programming in 2002, TS now only airs everyday at 3:00 a.m. Actually now that I think about it, "Teamo Supremo" could also be leaving within the next 2 years, seeing how it only airs everyday at 2:30 a.m. in "Bonkers" old time-slot. It's not fair. I can't believe how stupid Toon Disney is. No more "Ducktales", "Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers", "Darkwing Duck", "Quack Pack", "Mighty Ducks", "Disney's Doug" and "Pepper Ann". I wish I was head of programming over at Toon Disney. Let me tell you that the programming would go back to the way it was during TD's original run from 1998-2001. One thing that I can't get used to is watching the new Toon Disney knowing that all of my beloved favorite DA cartoons are no longer on air, and still watching my "Ducktales", "Talespin" and "Bonkers" VHS cassettes even though they are sadly locked up in the Disney vault. I rented 7 DT tapes from my local VHS rental store and taped them all on one tape, and did the same thing for TS, and I bought the 3 out-of-print "Bonkers" VHS cassettes from www.inetvideo.com (http://www.inetvideo.com) I also bought 3 out-of-print "Marsupilami" cassettes from the same website listed above, but somehow I got used to "Marsupilami" not airing on TD. I can't get used to not seeing DT, TS, "Darkwing Duck", "Quack Pack", "Pepper Ann", "Mighty Ducks" or "Disney's Doug" on TD anymore. It's not fair. But atleast I'll still be able to see "Quack Pack" again, since I'm buyin' 3 out-of-print QP tapes from that same website, but it won't be the same. Oh Well. I'll always feel like a big chunk of my heart is missing without these classic DA cartoons airing on TD, but it's just something we all have to deal with:crying:

[UmmYeahOk]

...a time in which the majority of tv viewers DIDNT GET TD!!!! They always do this, with every new channel!!! There will be a channel I want because all my cancled shows will be on there, and I cant get it. ...but when the time comes that they do have it, what do they play?!? Batch and switch!!!

You don't think I'm aware of this? I didn't even get Toon Disney until October 2001, and I didn't even know the channel existed until I got it. Fortunately I do get Nicktoons TV, but that's off-subject:D Anyways, I'm saying that if I was head of Toon Disney, it would stay the way it was back in 2001. The only reason old shows are dropped on nostalgia channels that TD are for nothing but MONEY. That's why TD is changing their programming, and it makes me sick. The pointof TD is to showcase the classic way-better DA cartoons that have long-been cancelled, not to cancel all of the classics and become exactly what The Disney Channel already is:rolleyes:

[UmmYeahOk]

Yeah, whats the point of having the same exact shows? So I can watch Weekenders back to back even if not on the same channel? Whats the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear "Toon Disney?" Is it Power Rangers? Their best line up aired during a time that their shows fans couldn't watch. And even with the last remaining thread of existance.. 3am? Gee, no ones watching the 3am shows... must not be any good... ...CANCLED!

LOL U R So Right! I bet Toon Disney seriously wonders why nobody watches the 3:00 a.m. timeslot. How can you expect us to watch a show at 3:00 a.m.? Damn Toon Disney:mad: And what really irks me is how much "Recess" is aired inbetween Toon Disney and The Disney Channel. I don't care how much "Recess" is cherished, it is *****ing stupid to air that many times on both TDC and TD. And for the last time, TD is a channel which is supposed to showcase all of the damn shows that it currently won't air, yet all I see is a whole lotta BS like "The Weekenders", "Recess", "Buzz Liughtyear Of Star Command", "House of Mouse", and this other stuff airing consistently on weekdays and on weekends. I tell you, it's hard to live without "Ducktales", "Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers", "Darkwing Duck", "Quack Pack", "The Mighty Ducks" "Pepper Ann" and "Disney's Doug". The only thing worthwhile for me on TD is "101 Dalamtions: The Series", which I'm going to start taping this Tuesday. Hopefully "101 Dalmations" last long enough for me to get every episode, but I do know that one episode was banned from syndication, so I won't be getting that anytime soon:D

[UmmYeahOk]

Thats what pisses me off the most! I remember when Toon Disney first aired. Disney Channel no longer had ANY TOONS!!! This was before all that Kim Possible, Fillmore, and other ABC kids stuff. All their past toons WERE old disney afternoon stuff. I no longer could watch them because their NEW channel aired it. And they wouldnt dare air the same show on two channels. However they were willing to do so during their "experience toon disney" timeslot, where they teased viewers by saying "this is what you could have been watching if you got us!" They would show you Bonkers, darkwing Duck, Talespin... ...because thats what Toon Disney offered! Now that we get the channel we're getting not Toon Disney but a Disney Channel Duplicate. Those that have a dish know about the disney channel east and disney channel west? Well Toon Disney is Disney channel europe. Same channel, just having the shows during a different time of day. :mad:

They make a brand new channel to showcase all of their classic material, but nobody even gets the channel for 3 years. And when we do get the channel, it only remains golden until September of the next year so they can change their programming for money. So now because of Toon Disney's stupidity we have to suffer because our opinions don't really matter. Just because we aren't in the proper age group, we will probally never ever see "Ducktales", "Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers", "Darkwing Duck", "Quack Pack", "The Mighty Ducks", "Pepper Ann" or "Disney's Doug" ever again. What I wouldn't give for all of these cartoons to return to Toon Disney. I never even thought that anything like this would ever happen, but that's what I get for not taping the damn material sooner. Now I have to suffer, because not very many other people besides me actually liked "Quack Pack", "The Mighty Ducks" or "Disney's Doug". What really surprises me is that "101 Dalmatians: The Series" actually remained on Toon Disney. Not that I'm complaining, because I LOVE the show and am definitely going to start taping it, but you wouldn't think that they'd keep "101 Dalmatians" over "Ducktales" now would ya?

[Baltofan]

I miss them too!

What exactly is the "proper age group?" I'm 22. Are they after a younger generation? A generation that requires recess to be on 24/7? Recess is ok (the characters could be drawn better) but it should be on ONCE a day. I never likes Mighty Ducks, and when it was on in the afternoons, MDs took Quack Packs times slot. Not many people like Quake Pack because most have never seen it. Some may dislike how they recreated all the characters for a new generation (with the excetion of donald) Also, it comes on when? 3am? 4am? Never liked Doug. It was better on Nick, be even then, not that cool to watch (only had educational value) Pepper Ann was annoying, and I guess like Doug, aired way after the main disney afternoon classics were cancled

Ducktales is simply a classic. One of the first Disney Afternoon toons! 101 dalmations Im not real fond of since they recreated the characters for a new generation. I dont mind it being on TV, but still believe Ducktales is more important. If one had to go, then 101 would be my choice.

But Im sure there would be lots of room for these mentioned shows if they would limit their current shows to one episode per day. Even if I was a super fan of Recess. I dont need to see it 5 times a day... ...Id get tired of it, and stop watching all together. which brings to mind, marathons KILL shows!

[InvaderEd77]

This pretty much sounds like MTV to me. MTV2 was supposed to be the music channel, but now it's just MTV of five years ago. Pretty soon they will make Toon Disney 2, just so people can watch the same show back to back to back, and they you can watch the same episode on Disney West after that! :p

The 'prpoer' age group for Disney is basically anyone from pre-schoolers to tweens. Disney doesn't really like adults watching their animation material for some reason, but that's beside the point. Anyways, "Mighty Ducks" RULED. I loved that show alot, but it seems like I'm the only one who enjoyed the show. I liked the show's humor and I loved all of the action. "Quack Pack" was also a great Disney animation classic. I don't know why everybody hated it so much, because I thought it was just a godd as "Mighty Ducks". I'll admit that "Disney's Doug" was nowhere near as great as Nickelodeon's was, but I still loved Disney's version as well. It was very watchable for me. I could watch the show over and over again and still laugh at everything. "Pepper Ann" was just as good as "Disney's Doug" was. "Pepper Ann" had great writing and humor. Plus the theme song, though annoying, was hilarious. "101 Dalmatians: The Series" is my favorite. I only recently really got into the show, but it's great. I really should begin taping it. I'll say that this show keeps me interested and has good humor. Cadpig and Spot are hilarious. "Ducktales" is most definitely a classic. Next to "The Adventures Of The Gummi Bears", "Ducktales" is what started it all for Disney. I have various out-of-print "Ducktales" VHS cassettes taped altogether on one tape, so thank God for that. I'm also purchasing 3 out-of-print "Quack Pack" VHS cassettes from www.inetvideo.com (http://www.inetvideo.com) And I couldn't agree with you more about "Recess" being re-ran to death. Marathons do kill shows, and boy is there a helluva lot of "Recess" marathons on Toon Disney. I don't know what the hell TD was thinking. They air nothing but constant marathons daily. Why would a channel want to do that? I suggest that if they aren't going to air their better classic DA material, they better start releasing some DVDs soon.

[QUOTE=One Radical Dud]Why can't Toon Disney be more like Cartoon Network's Boomerang?QUOTE]

Why? Boomerang sucks now! They show the same crappy shows over and over agian that no one likes! At least they still have Pirates of the Dark Water... I thought the whole point of Boomerang (and Cartoon Network!) was to show lots of cartoons that aren't on the air anymore, but they only play a selected few. I want them to play the Swat Kats again, I want them to play Ghostbusters, Sonic, heck even the old TMNT toon (I don't really like it, but I'm sure others would love to see it again)!

I myself don't have Boomerang, but I'm sure it's better than Toon Disney. I mean, TD shows 3 2-hour marathons DAILY. THE SAME SHOW FOR 2 HOURS. Now Come on, even Boomerang can't be that bad. I've seen their schedule, and it beats TD's by a longshot. Anyways, I'm just thanful that atleast a few classics are still airong on TD, such as "Talespin" and "101 Dalmatians: The Series". Hell they even showed "Darkwing Duck" on Christmas Day, even though they did unfairly give it the can. But nothing will make up for the loss of my "Ducktales", "Bonkers" and "Quack Pack". NOTHING.

You know what. In Canada, we have a pay channel called Family and it's Disney Channel and Toon Disney together. I think Disney has 35% in share in this channel.

Before Disney takes over Saban and ABC, Family had a really nice schedule with Classic Disney Afternoon and some DIC (I don't remember if it was that) shows.
Now the only Disney Afternoon cartoon are Goof Troop and Aladdin.

Now Family has a wannabe Jetix called Power Box. They show Daigunder and Power Rangers. Last years, they aired Mon Colle Knights. I still think that Digimon is next to be aired in the Power Box. Ever since YTV lost their rights on Digimon, I think that.

Here's a typical Family schedule http://www.family.ca/whatson/schedule.php?day=2004-12-06

You said the only classic Disney animation on that block is "Aladdin" and "Goof Troop", yet I see "The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh", "Disney's Hercules", and "101 Dalmatians: The Series" on their schedule. And think about this. The only classics we get on Toon Disney are "Garfield & Friends"(which isn't even a Disney property), "Talespin", "Goof Troop", "The Little Mermaid", "The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh", "101 Dalmatians: The Series", "Aladdin", "Disney's Hercules", and "Gargoyles". THAT'S IT. Maybe that's more than the Family channel, but that's nothing compared to what TD used to be.

[Elven Moon]

They need to move Hercules back to his 2 pm timeslot, not midnight :sad: It's hard to remember to watch when it's on that late.


And as corny as it was, I miss My Little Pony Tales, too. Seems like most if not all of the shows I wanted to see so badly when I didn't have the Disney Channel, disappeared just before I could get it again.

I know what you mean. I really miss the old TD from back in 2001, when "Pepper Ann" and "Disney's Doug" were just added, when everything was still on, and The Magical World Of Toons was still on air. This new TD really sucks. No more "Ducktales", "Bonkers", "Quack Pack", "Mighty Ducks", "Darkwing Duck" or even "Pepper Ann" and "Disney's Doug". No more "The Adventures Of The Gummi Bears", "The Wuzzles", "Raw Toonage", "Marsupilami", "Jungle Cubs", and all of those other shows that used to air before 2002. TD has really gone the tubes and sucks a** really hard. It's a shame. And the worst part is, expect to see "Talespin", "Goof Troop", "The Little Mermaid", "The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh", "101 Dalmatians: The Series", "Aladdin", "Disney's Hercules" and even "Garfield & Friends" to leave the channel within the next few years.

[RonDrakenfan17]

I like this show as well and miss it dearly. It was a great show, I loved the characters it was an original show. Sadly the show has indeed ended and is no longer running on Disney or Toon Disney which sucks. Why they took off the show from Toon Disney no one knows, all we know is that it sucks. If they didn't have so many freakin marathons each day their would be plenty of time for the old shows that we once loved to be on. Besides I'm getting sick and tired of them showing these repeats, although I love Weekenders, I've seen almost the same episodes over and over again because of those crappy marathons. Curse you Disney, curse you.

[Dark Fact]

Gummi Bears was a great cartoon. I remember getting home from school everyday just to watch it. The theme song is also one of the best since it's sung nicely and describes the Gummi Bears. :)

Ah the days...


Now Family has a wannabe Jetix called Power Box. They show Daigunder and Power Rangers.

I caught an episode of Daigunder this morning. Awful and preachy...

I couldn't of said it better myself:) If TD didn't run those damn marathons daily, we'd be seeing more DA classics, but unfortunately "The Gummi Bears" was taken off TD before all of this occured, which sucks:( And I completely agree with you about "The Weekenders". I love that show dearly, but I've seen every episode so many times that I've completely memorized the dialogue. LOL If TD wouldv'e stayed the same it was back in 2001...

[UmmYeahOk]

I dont get it. I mean who the hell is incharge of programing there? Its not just Disney, a lot of channels do this! Why, I was so excited when the were bringing stich to cable, since I couldnt watch it on sat mornings. I either had work, or slept. But the second they put it on, what did they do? show every episode of it they had! Uh, ok, so now that I saw every episode all in one day, what am I suppost to look forward to? next season? I have to suffer watching the same episodes until then. In other words, I either dont, or start to dislike it that I dont even care about the new season.

Why kill these shows? I mean, I know they own them, but even radio stations have rules about playing same artists songs during a period of time. I saw, one episode per show per day. You either kill of the shows we like with marathons, or you make up not watch an entire day because youre running a show we disliked to begin with.

I mean some stations have an actual programmer manning the helm, but most have a machine to do everything so you dont have screw ups like dead air and half comercials. So it wouldnt be hard to take shows they already have rights to and play each once per day.

I dont care what you think your sponsors want, if you have a popular show, you would want it to run longer, rather than kill it fast right? Seems more profitable to me

I don't get it either. Everyone knows that marathons kill shows. Seriously I know it's not just Disney; Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon do the same damn thing. What gets me about Disney is that they took off mostly all of the good DA classics, and what do they do with their programming after the good shows get the boot? Rub 3 2-hour marathons for the same damn show DAILY. I mean WTF?!? These marathons are by far the most ridiculous of marathons I've seen on any damn channel PERIOD. No more "Ducktales", "Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers", "Darkwing Duck", "Quack Pack", "Mighty Ducks", "Pepper Ann", "Disney's Doug", etc. for what cost? So we can see "Weekenders", "Recess", "Proud Family", "House Of Mouse" and "Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command" all suffer being over-played to death. TD needs a new head of prgramming real quick.

[Artimus Gigan]

FYI, somewhat related

Kingdom Hearts, essentialy referenced The Gummi Bears, with The Gummi Ships
they are constructed out of assorted blocks that have a bouncy consistancy to them...

[UmmYeahOk]

and what do they do with their programming after the good shows get the boot? Rub 3 2-hour marathons for the same damn show DAILY. I mean WTF?!?
With these marathons youda thought that these were the only shows they had! Plus, if I want to see weekenders, recess, etc... ...I would watch either the MAIN disney channel, or abc kids. I dont need a 3rd and even a 4th channel airing them! Toon Disney is suppost to be a special channel... ...different... This was was a channel a lot of people pay EXTRA to have. ...They dont even HAVE TO air toons anymore

You hit the nail right on the head UmmYeahOk:) You would think that them were the only shows they had. I mean, marathons kill shows, and with all of the damn marathons TD has daily, man are they killing alot of shows. I mean, it's one thing to cut all of the DA classics that were supposed to come on the damn channel anyways, but it's another thing to show all of these damn marathons. It's ridiculous. And you are so right about TD being a special channel. TD was only created for the old DA classics that were so loved and cherished by everyone, yet all of them so cherished cartoons were recently cancelled on TD, and to replace their airings they air "Recess" atleast 3 times a day when it already airs on The Disney Channel AND ABC Kids. TD is the only channel that "The Weekenders" airs on, but it is shown too many times a day also. Alot of people do pay extra to have TD, and what is the point of even having the channel when all of the shows they used to air are sadly gone?

Well, I remember when the disney channel started having commercial breaks. A lot of people were annoyed that they were paying extra for a channel that claimed they had no commercials. Changing a channels environment, though annoying, is not what I meant. The idea was, these people are already getting these shows on their regular disney, therefore, paying to have TD is pointless, as it airs the same shows... ...Had TD aired recess, weekenders, etc... ...BECAUSE the regular disney got new shows, therefore they lost their time slot... ...I would be a little more understanding. After all, thats how we originally got TD to begin with... Disney started having so many new shows, that they simply had no more room for their others. Well, since all these disney channel shows are now on TD... ...wheres disney channels new shows? ...I'm waiting.. (taps foot impatiently)

That may be true, but is it really neccessary for "Recess" to air on Toon Disney, The Disney Channel, AND ABC Kids?"Recess" didn't even start airing on The Disney Channel until a month after it was added to TD. What is the point of doing that? And come on, ABC Kids sucks. It was bad enough that 1 Saturday Morning unfairly ended, but to go and replace it with this, that's really annoying. And Disney Channel's shows coming to TD is spoiling the channel. Who really wants to watch the over-played "Proud Family" anyways?
