It seemed like Return of the Roar turned off a lot of potential fans from the Lion King fanbase, and really got the show off to a bad start in terms of support and viewership. It does really well for a Disney Junior show, but if it had succeeded as they hoped, it probably wouldn't still be on there and would be on the Disney Channel proper. The show is great, but it would have probably lasted longer if its first impression didn't leave such a sour impression on its most likely fanbase. (For the record, I liked RotR, but have heard and seen many people say that it completely turned them off to this show.)
