Terrible development schedule and marketing could kill the show


Now, this show isn't nearly as good as I hoped it to be, too child-ish and condescending for my typical preference, but I have hope that it could improve if given enough time and proper scheduling, and introduce some real mature themes for kids to think about like the movies did (1 and 2 anyway).

That said, the way this show has been handled lately is horrendous. After an evidently successful first few episodes, the show was picked up for a full season and was renewed for a second. However, the second half of season 1 has had episodes coming out inconsistently, and the DVD releases contains episodes out of order. If the current overly child-ish writing doesn't kill this show, than the marketing certainly will.

I really wouldn't expect much from a show on Disney Junior. While I agree it would be nice to have mature themes, it's very unlikely they're going to cater to anythng other than the usual demographics of Disney Junior.

What about the showing of a funeral? Most kids shows wouldn't dare show a dead body like that.
