#Disney Channel Shows And The Dreaded 65-Episode Rule

#Disney Channel Shows And The Dreaded 65-Episode Rule

The six-year period when the 65-episode rule was at its most strict was also when the Disney Channel was putting out some of its most popular content. “The Proud Family” was the Disney Channel’s first animated series centered around a Black family, and is largely considered one of the most groundbreaking animated series ever created. The Disney Channel also tried to capitalize off of the success of shows like “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” as well as the burgeoning accessibility of the internet with its paranormal mystery show, “So Weird.” Both series were hugely popular, but were two of the first to go. 

“The Famous Jett Jackson,” Lilo & Stitch: The Series,” “Phil of the Future,” and “American Dragon: Jake Long” also sadly fell to the rule, ending at the height of their popularity and frustrating fans across the globe. In the case of “The Proud Family,” the show was given a Disney Channel Original Movie to continue to capitalize off of the show’s popularity despite the episode rule.

There were two shows, however, that laid the groundwork for what would inevitably lead to the end of the rule. “Even Stevens” and “Lizzie McGuire” were not just popular, they were cultural phenomena. The series finale of the former came in the form of the DCOM “The Even Stevens Movie,” and it reportedly brought in over 5.1 million viewers upon premiere. its The success of both shows allowed the DCOM “Cadet Kelly,” starring Hilary Duff and Christy Carlson-Romano, to become the at-the-time biggest DCOM premiere, and “The Lizzie McGuire Movie” received a theatrical release and made over $55 million at the box office.
