The Target audince might think that The Lion Guard isn't even on anymore with all the new episodes being aired in one week and the 4 and now 5 moth breaks between episodes. Disney has a great show with high production values on it's hands, but it's like they can't see it.

I know any business is out to make money, but don't the executives look at The Product they are putting out? The Lion Guard was hailed as a hit. New episodes premiered on Fridays and they had a solid airtime for older episodes the rest of the week (and week ends). It seemed like toward the end of the first season the time-slots started shifting around. Then after "Timon and Pumbaa's Christmas" the 4 episodes a week then nothing for 4 months thing started. I still hope that given this longer hiatus. When The show returns in September that a more normal airing pattern will come with it. Even one new episode a week followed by a long hiatus would be better than what they have been doing. I would think that 1 new episode a month would be better than such long waits with no new episodes.

Does anybody know if The Disney Junior Chanel is airing The Lion Guard in a regular time slot? The last episodes of season 2 are going to air in the same format, new episodes from Monday through Thursday on the first full week of September. I just hope they don't use the remix promo they used for January's and April's batch of episodes but instead have a promo with actual footage from the new episodes hyping up the season finale, though in two weeks from now the episodes will air and we still haven't gotten any promo or images for these episodes.
