That's what happens when you fuck around with a show's schedule from day 1

Averaged from 2.5 - 3 mil when on Disney Channel.
I mean, I know you want to bait and all, but you could've just called the show shit or Meme Falls rather than something where one click on Wikipedia would shut you down.
Don't forget the constant million-year hiatuses
They changed the target demographic of "Disney Channel" to 9-12 year old girls, and "Disney XD" to 9-12 boys.
I've always had Disney XD as part of the basic tier so I've never really had a problem with Disney moving the programs to ch. 54 instead of ch. 55. Other than the fact TWC doesnt have DXD in HD but whatever.

I think the commercial free episode of GF somehow got 2 million views on XD and not DC so that's damn good.

This joke really doesn't work on this board.
Not enough Meme Masters on this board

I miss Phineas and Ferb.

Disney wanted to split demographics between different networks with the smallest kids watching Disney, Jr., tween boys watching Disney XD, and tween girls watching Disney Channel.
'Disney XD never caught on so they shifted animation over to it in an attempt to get people to watch the channel since it's ad-supported rather than a premium channel; it pretty much failed and just dragged down the ratings of the shows without really boosting Disney XD.
They could probably switch back to Toon Disney with an all-repeat lineup and get pretty much the same ratings they do for most of XD's lineup.

If this experiment has failed, then why can't they just kill XD and go back to the way things were?
>>77744334
why does /co/ need to force memes on a board that clearly doesn't work with most of them

Its cheap and successful. Just look at Dan "The Man Who Will Bend You Like an Empty Can" Schneider's shows and how much money they bring in. Its practically just a stage and some cgi effects any art sophomore school student from a 3D department could accomplish in his sleep, yet it brings back a lot of shekels. Cartoons on the other hand take money and time to make, and they just don't have a dedicated fanbase of underage chicks. Its better for these executives to bring in a fat guy who will produce cheap yet successful, they just have to make sure to keep him away from any young starlet's feet.

Stubbornness, and that they probably want to keep Channel the way it is, for whatever ungodly reason.

Like Wander the main reason it moved to XD was because it wasn't getting ratings on par with Phineas and Ferb and tween shit.

That's pretty shit for Disney who has shows that average 4 to 6 mill on a given night.
let's take all of the animators and make the lion guard, guys
