They mention that it is “an old Disney scam”, are there other examples of this? I can’t think of any but I’m curious to know how those other examples played out.
The suite life of Zach and Cody changing to the suite life on deck
Interesting. I looked up this show and it looks like it kept the same creator credits. I do wonder if there was some secret behind the scenes things going on, or if some other shenanigans happened (obviously if it’s supposed to be a secret, it’s hard to find.)
The Disney kids shows where the last season or 2 are in an entirely new location than the first ones. Suite life on deck is an example
Disney has done this with all the kids shows for years for the same reason
It’s one of their go to moves on Disney channel for their popular series. Suite life, Hannah Montana, lab rats, Liv and Maddie.
“Hannah Montana” changed to “Hannah Montana Forever” for its final season.
I’m not being sarcastic, check out every single Disney series that runs longer than a few seasons. Every. Single. One.
Much like a CEO that gets fired by the shareholders if he misses and avenue for profit, I have no doubt that CEO would fire producers that didn’t do the same thing.
