The 1950s series

The Mickey Mouse Club was Walt Disney's second venture into producing a television series, the first being the Walt Disney anthology television series, initially titled Disneyland. Disney used both shows to help finance and promote the building of the Disneyland theme park. Being busy with these projects and others, Disney turned The Mickey Mouse Club over to Bill Walsh to create and develop the format, initially aided by Hal Adelquist.[1] For the company founded by Disney, see The Walt Disney Company. ... A television program is the content of television broadcasting. ... Bill Walsh (September 30, 1913 - January 27, 1975) was a film producer and screenwriter who primarily worked on live-action films for Walt Disney Productions. ...


The result was essentially a variety show for children, with such regular features as a newsreel, a cartoon, and a serial, as well as music, talent and comedy segments. One unique feature of the show was the Mouseketeer Roll Call, in which many (but not all) of that day's line-up of regular performers would introduce themselves by name to the television audience. In the serials, teens faced challenges in everyday situations, often overcome by their common sense or through recourse to the advice of respected elders. A variety show is a show with a variety of acts, often including music and comedy skits, especially on television. ...


Cast

Mickey Mouse Club was hosted by Jimmie Dodd, a songwriter and the "Head Mouseketeer", who provided leadership both on and off screen. In addition to his other contributions, he often provided short segments encouraging young viewers to make the right moral choices. These little homilies became known as "Doddisms".[1] Roy Williams, a staff artist at Disney, also appeared in the show as the "Big Mooseketeer". Roy suggested the Mickey Mouse ears ("Mouseke-ears") worn by the cast members, which he helped create, along with Chuck Keehne, Hal Adelquist, and Bill Walsh. James W. Dodd (March 28, 1910 - November 10, 1964) was best known as the MC of the popular 1950s Disney TV show, The Mickey Mouse Club, as well as the writer of its well-known theme song, The Mickey Mouse Club March. ...

Music

The opening theme, "The Mickey Mouse March", was written by the show's primary adult host, Jimmie Dodd.[1] It was also reprised at the end of each episode, with the slower "it's time to say goodbye" verse. A shorter version of the opening title was used later in the series, in syndication and on Disney Channel reruns. Dodd also wrote many other songs used in individual segments over the course of the series.

Each day of the week had a special show theme, which was reflected in the various segments. The themes were:

  • Monday - Fun with Music
  • Tuesday - Guest Star
  • Wednesday - Anything Can Happen
  • Thursday - Circus
  • Friday - Talent Round-up

Scheduling and air times

Cancellation

Although the show remained popular, ABC decided to cancel the show after its fourth season, as Disney and the ABC network could not come to terms for renewal[3]. The cancellation in 1959 was attributable to several factors: The Disney studios did not make a profit on the merchandise, the sponsors were uninterested in educational programming for children, and many commercials were needed in order to pay for the show. After cancelling The Mickey Mouse Club, ABC also refused to let Disney air the show on another network[4]. Walt Disney filed a lawsuit against ABC, and won the damages in a settlement; however, he had to agree that both the Mickey Mouse Club and Zorro could not be aired on any major network. This left Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color (later retitled the Wonderful World of Disney) as the only Disney series left on prime time until 1972, when The Mouse Factory went on the air.

Syndication

However, in response to continuing audience demand, it went into syndicated reruns from 1962 to 1965, with some new features such as Fun with Science and Marvelous Marvin in the 1964-1965 season. In response to an upsurge in demand from baby boomers entering adulthood, the show again went into syndicated reruns from January 20, 1975 until January 14, 1977. It has since been rerun on cable specialty channels Disney in the U.S. and Family in Canada. The original Mickey Mouse Club films aired five days a week on the Disney Channel from its launch in 1983 until the third version of the series began in 1989.

1970s revival, the All New Mickey Mouse Club

In the 1970s, Walt Disney Productions revived the concept but modernized the show cosmetically, with a disco re-recording of the theme song and minority cast members.

Like the original, nearly each day's episode included a vintage cartoon, though usually color ones from the late 1930s and onward.

Troubled syndication run

The series debuted on January 17, 1977, on only 38 local television stations in the United States, and by June, when the unsuccessful series was discontinued, only about 70 stations in total had picked up the series. Additional stations picked up the canceled program, which continued to run until January 12, 1979; 130 new episodes, with much of the original material repackaged and a bit of new footage added, and a shortened version of the theme song, were produced to start airing September 5, 1977. The series has not had more than token reruns, unlike its 1950s predecessor, and while both the 1950s and 1990s series had DVD releases in July 2005, the 1970s series seems forgotten except by that short generation of youthful viewers for whom it defined "the club." is the 17th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Mickey Mouse League - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia (1297 words)
The Mickey Mouse League (sometimes unofficially referred to as the Mickey Mouse Club or the Empire of the Mouse) is an alliance of countries and principalities contained on three different continents organized in a similar fashion to the now defunct Hanseatic League.
The early history of the Mickey Mouse League is closely tied to that of the Disneyland Confederation.
Established in 1987 by the Main Street Treaty, the Disney Dollar is used by all members of the Mickey Mouse Club except for the states and principalities within the France circle, which chose to remain outside the Disney Dollar zone.
Mickey Mouse Club (866 words)
The Mickey Mouse Club was the first Walt Disney foray into television programming that specifically utilized the Disney brand.
Roy was the one who thought that Mickey Mouse should tip his ears in greeting to Minnie Mouse, spawning one of the most recognizable pieces of Disney shwag, those embroidered mouse-ear beanies.
Inexplicably the Mickey Mouse Club was reincarnated a second time in 1989, this time gussied up with the oversaturated lime and fuschia pantones that had won MTV its own slab of market share back in 1981.
