DISNEY AND ABC LEVERAGE

[POLY LOVER]

why doesn't disney insert more of their TV presence in DHS? I mean they have numerous TV shows that could be done there live with a studio audience. I know the CHEW will be shot there live during the food and wine festival at EPCOT. Why not continue that idea at DHS?

I read your post quickly and thought your title said "Disney and ABC Cleavage". I was like...yes please!!

In my own humble opinion. that doesn't seem very Disney. Maybe they have had somewhat similar things in the past, but I don't know if that will draw the people in. And with the rumors of big changes coming it may not be worth it.

I mean with the animation studio gone maybe they could concentrate on the TV side for that live active studio feel.

are there any indications of what the big changes will be?

Here is the link to a discussion on this site about changes to DHS: Rumor: Details on Disney's Hollywood Adventure.

And a link to the article that previous discussion link references: DHS Article from The Infamous.

I am no expert or insider so I can't speak to much else besides those rumors and discussions I have read on here. There's a lot of neat ideas being thrown around out there (e.g., Pixar, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc.). Hopefully big changes for the better will be coming.

I would love to have an adult attraction like Castle where you follow the clues to solve a murder.

They do...It's a counter service restaurant....

And not a good one at that

....Their food is about as bad as some of their shows..At one point their meals were themed to said shows that were airing..

Desperate Housewives? They served roasted snakes?

There are some indications that the new black box theatre that is under construction will have provisions for this sort of thing.

I think because TV gets less of an audience than films. And TV doesn't always stick in the popular consciousness the way films do. Lost WAS popular, for instance, but building an attraction or something now probably wouldn't be a big draw.

Actors dont want to deal with the general public. Most live studio audiences for scripted tv shows are actually hired from a special pool of people who have passed background checks.

Not entirely true, I have attended many Letterman shows, all I did is sent for tickets and showed up, waited in line and I was in. Nothing exclusive for certain people etc.

That would be great

I would consider Letterman a 'hosted' show. Not a 'scripted' show with actors.

Talk show, not a scripted program.

That's what I am talking about show like the chew, etc. these are the type of shows that would work with audiences.

The thing is does The Chew have enough mainstream appeal? Millionaire and Idol both were picked because at the time, those were HUGE.

To be fair, Idol was on the way down when it was added to DHS and it certainly didnt bump attendance as Disney predicted.

AI had exactly the impact we all expected it to have: ZERO.

I got on stage and got to sing for people, so that's all I care about. ME! ME ME ME!
