Disney - bring back this show!

I can't believe this show is dead. I used to watch it with my oldest daughter when she was a toddler. Back then we were in an apartment building where cable was free. This was the one show on commercial programming that I found 100% right. Not "over-brained", not too "ga-ga" colors and lights.

For the past five years, I've been living without cable. We recently signed up for cable and I was really looking forward to watching the current iteration of JoJo with my youngest daughter. Instead, I ended up sitting through about 2 straight hours of ga-ga "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse". Ugh! And imagination movers - They could just as well show re-runs of The Monkeys with that one!

Without a doubt in my mind, JoJo could and should be an early-education TV-at-home institution, equal in stature to Barney, Mr. Rogers, and Sesame Street. There is just no excuse for the way it has disappeared other than it is cheaper to produce the low-budget Mickey-Mouse-Clubhouse with its headache-wrenching appearance. Hang your head Disney, and remember, it is the parents who choose whether to let their toddlers watch your programming!

I know what you mean. I really miss this show. Since JoJo went off the air, I stopped watching the Disney Channel because the other shows just didn't match up. I'm hoping that when they start the Disney Jr. channel, they'll bring it back.

Even if they'd release all the shows on DVD, I'd be satisfied!

Deep inside, in your mind, you will find no reason; there's no rhyme — are you now?

you dont like Little Bear one of th ebest kids shows ever conceived, full of magic and actually good lessons that arent shoved down your throat like with Disney but you like this junk???

Junk is relative, allamericanbeauty. You know how it is. Just like with music, we all have our preferences.

I still hope Disney brings this back on Disney Jr.

So, Disney, thanks for bringing back this show! I still have a few requests:

* Show JoJo on weekends--there's plenty of time in those 48 hours for an episode or two.

* Play the episodes in order. Enough said.

* Play it more than once a day (same for Rolie Polie Olie). Well, you do for most of your other shows.

* Oh, and release all the episodes on DVD. We'll still watch it on TV. Many people continue to watch shows on TV that they've already purchased on DVD. We're peculiar like that.

* Thanks! I love JoJo's Circus...Croaky is the best.
