It's too bad Snow White disappointed - it wasn't bad but, with Prince Valium center stage and the Clogging section, ugh... Oh, sorry - got off track. Pocahontas was a nice show. Maybe they have something new coming down the track more in line with Discovery Channel shows and personalities - they do own the station.

Turns out, Disney owns a half stake in the cheesy but won't die Lifetime Channel where every third show has a scorned woman fighting back against male oppression. At least it is nice to know that something of such quality and quantity (The Discovery Channel group of offerings) is an entity in itself - at least for now. Thank you tonyanton. I don't mind being corrected, it helps me know what I absorb around me is true.

Originally Posted By tonyanton No problem. It was a bit confusing too when Disney owned "Discover" magazine for some time...the Discovery Channel would seem to be a good fit with Epcot, but Epcot does not seem to be a "brand" that Disney wants to push or feels could make them a lot of money.
