Well, they definitely seem to be playing "You Slipped a Disk" and "Full Metal Pullet" occasionally. And I'm positive they're still playing "The Maltese Chicken".

sad to say, I don't expect that they'll air all of the episodes... It's just their strategy to keep you hooked to their network. (I keep saying this all over and over again ain't I?)

Yes, you do, but surprisingly, nobody here seems to mind. Whenever I say it, everybody yells and screams at me, and drama erupts. I'm confused why this happens.

Okay, so I have been hearing some people say that the episodes have some scenes edited out. I wouldn't know since the only episode I've seen so far of the ones I've recorded is "Robo-Rolly / Splishing and Splashing", and that episode seemed to be completely uncut and shown in its entirety. Maybe it's just the UK that's censoring the episodes. If I'm wrong, let me know. I just don't have the guts to watch any more episodes since I'm hearing about these edits, as if only airing half the episodes isn't bad enough!

Trust me Belchic, these edits aren't just in the UK. I watched "Cadpig Behind Bars" on Youtube, in German, before I saw it in English, on "Disney Junior". However, the episode of it on Disney Junior, has at least one major scene cut out of it. Mainly, the one where Cadpig is in the prison/pound yard, and she's talking/introducing herself to some of the other prisoners.

Well, I guess I might as well commit suicide then. There's really no need for me to live at this point. ðŸ˜

LOL this is stupid, Disney jr is being stupid with their political correctness. Not just editing out anything that even hints at death, but anything that sounds a tiny bit harsh.
Like when lt pug tells spot she needs to take a bath in "Full metal pullet." they cut out where he tells her she stinks, it is just "Take a bath feather girl." And for some reason lt pug calling Rolly "Humpty Rumpty" in "The nose knows.". And a whole scene where Scorch tries to eat spot at the end of "The artist formally known as spot." it is stupid.
I know the target audience are preschoolers but seriously, do they think kids are that sensitive? I mean it was good enough to watch for our generation, why is it not acceptable today? Did we turn out so bad?

Unfortunately General it's because everything has to be politically correct and companies are afraid of offending ANYONE these days

Well, we may just have to enjoy the series while it lasts regardless. This may be the last time this series will ever see the light of day, and I mean in the history of the world. Unless Disney decides to make another retro Disney station like Toon Disney, I don't see it coming back ever again.

Although, and I'm not sure about this, there is a chance that the series is available through Netflix. I mean, I came across "All Dogs Go To Heaven: The Series" last year, through Netflix, (on the Xbox360, [not mine]), without even expecting it. And, I honestly doubt they'll make another retro channel. Like the phrase in "Meet the Robinsons", about the only thing they'll do with their shows is this: "Keep moving forward".

Agreed, disney doesn't seem to be the one to care about their old viewers, they are just staying with the times. They weren't as popular back in the retro days as stations like cartoon network or nickelodeon. Those ones will re air their old shows from time to time... disney shows from that era are really just not popular enough. Or so it seems if you talk to anyone about their favorite cartoons as a kid they will mention a bunch of things from cartoon network... And really from what they did to 101 dalmatians most of the 90's shows from disney are too politically incorrect to be shown again.
Just look at the general theme of Darkwing Duck, Rescue rangers, talespin, duck tales and all that and those are far too... offensive... yeah, that's the word. The only things kids can see now are Tweens hanging out in high school and bubble guppies.

I wouldn't count on it coming to Netflix, Lupus. The series isn't even on DVD, so why put it on Netflix? Now granted, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Pound Puppies are on Netflix. Neither of those are on DVD, but season 1 of MLP will be soon. But at least MLP is popular, and PP just got lucky here.

Well, that dream I had this morning tempted me to check my TV listings. The series is still airing on Disney Junior at its usual time. However, I am willing to be that they're still airing the same 35 edited down episodes and nothing else.
I'm really tempted to contact them about this. Not too long ago, I came across that website that Sweeny Terrier was talking about. If I ever find it again, I'll contact them for sure and see if we can get an uncut DVD collection of the entire series!

Okay, I think the censorship of this series as well as the movies is completely ridiculous! Not that I want to digress, but "The Search for Santa Paws" contains a scene where a Scottish terrier peeing on Ms. Stout's shoe, and they ALLOWED that to be shown on the Disney Channel! This just makes Disney a very hypocritical company when it comes to television!
