Not to argue much on such a subject, but not quite. The local line up changed from the national one at times, but Gargoyles was on for 1995-1997 only and was removed after that, while the entire thing continued for 2 more years and 2 more shows were added. Also, Gargoyles was popular enough for them to order a 2nd run of 52 episodes, which is a big deal and Disney even went beyond that with the third season and broke their long standing rule of stopping at 65 episodes. That only happened for a few episodes (like "Duck Tales"). See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Disney_Afternoon And, yes, I'm interested in doing some animation production when my studio is up and running. There's a reason I track some things like this. Believe it or not, I do have a life. Hal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
