Help me save Lilo and Stitch: The Series. Visit my petition.
Dear Ultimate Disney and it’s many members
My name is David Johnson. My online name is WatsonSword.
Perhaps many of you have heard about Disney Channel’s 65 episode rule. For those who haven’t, let me explain.
During the initial formation of Disney Channel under the leadership of Michael Eisner, a guideline was developed stating that no show broadcast on Disney Chanel should have more than a 65 episode lifecycle. This was intended to produce large amounts of material for a network that broadcast only first party shows. This guideline was immediately enforced as if it were policy and continues to this day.
This is not to say there weren’t exceptions to the rule. DuckTales and Chip ‘n Dales Rescue Rangers were both extended beyond this guideline. However, there were countless high quality shows that were cut short long before their due because of it.
The latest of these shows is Lilo and Stitch: The Series.
Lilo and Stitch the Series is perhaps one of the finest family shows to have been produced on Disney Channel for a long time. The fanbase of the Lilo and Stitch seems to transcend things like age, race, and gender, and I believe it is precisely because it is such a powerful lesson on things like community, acceptance, tolerance, and forgiveness. Unlike most other Disney franchises, Lilo and Stitch is something that can be personally related to by a great many parties. Living in a crowded house on low income is something too many families must endure. Many children are often bullied and outcast for being eccentric. Many more children have lost close family members all to early. And who doesn’t want to have a close friend that they can count on? Those at SaveDisneyShows.org and I believe that Lilo and Stitch, both the television series, and the franchise as a whole, is not just children’s entertainment, it is a lesson about life.
I do realize that every episode, including the movie finale Leroy and Stitch, has already been completed and is only waiting to be shown. I also realize that the movie finale resolves the situation facing its main characters and will most likely remove the current villain from the picture. This does not mean in any way that the show must end. In fact, if Lilo and Stitch were to be continued after Leroy and Stitch, then it may even renew the shows vigor by creating brand new situations and forcing greater creative thinking by its writers. I myself have thought of several ways the series could continue after the current conflicts are all resolved, but due to your typical legal reasons I will neglect to mention them.
Perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself, but I honestly believe that whatever allowed a policy that destroys high quality and highly profitable programs should not be tolerated. Moreover, I believe that Lilo and Stitch, more than any other franchise deserves better than to fall victim to such an outdated policy.
This is why I am a member of SaveDisneyShows.org and its efforts to renew Lilo and Stitch for more material.
To that effect I have written a petition at petitiononline.com asking for an extension of the series beyond its current planned run. Thus far the success of my petition has been dismal. This is why I am pleading with audiences like you that, if you care as much about Lilo and Stitch as I do, to please sign this petition, and encourage others to do the same.

All Good Things...
You remeber the title of the last episode of Star Trek: TNG?
All Good Things.....
The tagline of the episode was that all good things must come to an end. Its sad but true.
Besides the series was only supposed to last three seasons, which it did.
And they're also running out of stories to tell with Stitch and company. The same thing happened with Alladin.
I actually read an excerpt for the Book "Mastering the Universe" done by one of the creators of He-Man, and he stated that companies like Disney and Matel will just dry a franshice up so much that, at some very important level, we end up beating a dead horse. Dead is dead, there is no way you can make it come back to life again.
Its easier to just give up and conquer new ground.

What?!
Why did they cancel the show? Lilo & Stich is generally good. Don't see why they had to cancel it at all! Most TV shows on Disney channel are crap, but there are some few exceptions. Saying that, almost all of Disney's ''original'' TV made films are garbage.

You mean they've already covered over 300 other experiments in the series?There are 255 other experiments
I wish it had gone on for at least one more season. I only saw a handful of episodes but from what I could gather each episode had a very fresh, non-formulaic storyline. Plus, there have been other instances where shows have been cancelled then revived later.
