I'll be waiting. Hehe. I love Disney.

Barrybgb · 09-13-2009, 04:34 PM

This will take a while. MORE TO COME!!.

Barrybgb · 09-13-2009, 06:17 PM

Okay, that's about it. I'll work out the rest of the kinks tomorrow. Lol.

**Melis** · 09-13-2009, 06:46 PM

Oh it looks nice! There's tons of stuff to add to a Disney thread.

Disney is just fun!

Barrybgb · 09-14-2009, 09:05 AM

Okay. Done. Well, for now. Lol. Added and updated a few things. A lot of stuff is rare and hard to come by for this show!. I might add more things along the way, if something comes up.

This show was just special. Very magical. There isn't much magic anymore.

Melis, there is a lot to Disney. I loved Disney back then. It's not quite the same now. I wanted to do a thread for the show, which is what I remember and love best, but there could be ones for the Disney Channel and just 80s Disney movies and stuff in general too.

**Melis** · 09-14-2009, 03:56 PM

I understand. It was fun to see the series. It's a pity we don't have it anymore.

Barrybgb · 09-14-2009, 05:02 PM

I wish they would re-run this. It really was special.

It popped back up in the late 90s but it wasn't the same. They would have original movies here and there, but more often than not, they would just air more recent feature films. The 80s were great. More original movies, original series and specials and all that. *sigh*

Any Disney talk is great!.

**Melis** · 09-14-2009, 05:50 PM

I haven't heard that before. The 80s were the best.

Barrybgb · 09-14-2009, 06:48 PM

Yeah, it ran into the early 2000s. I think it was ABC. ABC or NBC. That's what the Growing Pains reunion shows and the Facts Of Life reunion movie were on.

Of course, we all know we love the 80s, but I loved this part of Disney history of the 80s the best!.

**Melis** · 09-15-2009, 02:08 PM

Oh well, I guess there were a few good ones here and there.

**Rainstorm Jenny** · 09-15-2009, 02:31 PM

I love the opening post, you did a good job

Thanks!. Boy, did this one bring back a lot of memories too!.

**Melis** · 09-17-2009, 04:48 PM

The 80s and Disney bring back fun memories.

It does. I know they have released DVD's of this show and some of the original 80's movies that aired on the series, but most of the DVD's of the show have been from the 50s era, which would still be very interesting!.
