Just thought maybe I'd ask out of curiosity. Does anyone have a way of checking up on the status of the series? If the series is back on the air, this could mean that the show's ratings are going up, kids will want to see more of it, and it'll increase the chances of Disney releasing a DVD of the series!
Although, I do kind of doubt the show's ratings are going up because first of all, it's airing on a network that only select people around the world are able to watch, and even so, it's still airing at an ungodly time: 5:30 in the morning, which ironically happens to be the time it was showing on Toon Disney just before it got removed from the station entirely.

Where I live it's on at random times in the afternoon and night, so ratings might go up is Australia, but I'll have a check, Belchic.

You know what? Right now, I feel like comparing myself to the Atari game, "Name That Game".
I'm like the diver in the game, and the people who are able to watch the series are like his friend on the boat. His friend is having the time of his life on the boat while he's down below fighting for his life against a crazy shark and the world's largest octopus!
Do you guys have any idea what I'm reduced to watching these days since I don't get Disney Junior?

I've been hearing that the episodes are getting cut up to the point it's only like a few minutes long. Similar to what Disney did with their classic shorts on their "Have a Laugh" DVD series.
I don't get it, do they think kids' attention spans are THAT short?

That's sad to hear that 101 Dalmatians is getting the same treatment the Mega Man cartoon did when Fox Family started playing reruns of it. I guess it's a good thing I'm unable to watch it now judging by what I'm hearing from those who do get it. I'm better off finding that DVD bootleg of the series, since Trey told me it was good. I hope it's still available.

DirecTV finally picked up the network, and despite what you said, Belchic, the show is still on there several months later. It will probably be removed eventually, but people can now watch it if they have that satellite provider.

You forgot that its not just the service provider, but it also depends on what area you live in. With that said, I'm still not getting Disney Junior. So just shut the **** up and leave me alone!

Google implies it's a national acquisition.

Um...okay. I want to apologize for what I just said. That wasn't very nice.
I checked my tv listings, but then I checked that website again. Apparently, I do get the channel after all. I'm experiencing the same thing Nemo experienced. Disney Junior did not replace SOAP Net, but a different channel.
Well, it looks like I will be recording some 101D now, even though there is just a handful of the episodes and they're edited down.
Again, I'm sorry. I was frustrated because I had a rough day at work, the heat was driving me crazy, and I'm stressed because I have to be at work at 6AM tomorrow (I'm actually not joking). So I hope you guys will forgive me.
@two-Tone: Out of curiosity, what are some of the episodes they haven't shown yet? I'm gonna be really ticked if they decided to leave off "Leisure Lawsuit".

I just found out today that I have both SOAPnet and Disney Junior, too. Disney Junior is channel 289, while SOAPnet is channel 262.

Looking at the upcoming airings, I do see that you guys are right about the missing episodes. They do have a pretty good handful of them, but still, it's quite ludicrous that they're only airing the third part of "Dalmatian Vacation" but not the first two parts! I'm not looking forward to watching them after hearing Trey say that the episodes were edited.

I didn't know I would be that much help, General.
I'm glad that I got Disney Junior, but they're showing 101DTS at 4:30 in the morning. Sorry, but I'm not gonna wake up that early in the morning just to watch the show.
