TLG is confirmed to have a 3rd season but so far it has been said that there will be only 18 episodes in the season signifying that it may very well be the last season. I think it should get a season 4 because it needs to have a proper conclusion and I want it to be remembered in the The Lion King, Disney, and cartoon fandom and it is one of Disney Junior's most successful and popular shows despite them ignoring it for quite a while. Do any of you think TLG should get a season 4?

It is neither one of the most successful nor one of the most popular. By any means. And where did you hear that most Disney shows are only allowed 4 seasons? According to who?? I haven't heard if that is true but I have just noticed that shows that end up with a season 4 do not get another season so I figured that Disney shows are only allowed to have up to 4 seasons and I have seen lots of people online making the same claims. And about TLG the series premiere did start out with success and new episodes did get lots of views and from what I've seen out of all the other Disney Junior shows TLG has the biggest fandom making it the most popular not just amongst kids on the channel. Sure it's not Gravity Falls or Star vs. the Forces of Evil popular but it still has a large following and is almost close to being as popular as those two shows even if Disney as of late hasn't been promoting it to well and the episode schedules are wonky.

There are many Disney shows that have had more than four seasons. And why would that make you think weren't ALLOWED a fifth season? That's stupid. If the show makes them money, they'll continue production. Yeah, the series premiere did good, but that was almost three years ago. The next half-dozen episodes only had a quarter of the premier's viewership. The show's viewership has been pretty low since the first half of the first season. Right now, viewership per episode is only between .4 to .7 million, so I'm not sure you actually looked that up. And a show's fandom means absolutely NOTHING to Disney, and has NOTHING to do with the show's popularity. All it indicates is the TYPE of crowd it draws, not the SIZE. As far as a show's success, its fandom is a horrible metric by which to judge it.
