I remember all the shows mentioned plus they used to show old reruns of Ozzie & Harriet at night. Also the Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keilor. When I first started watching Disney Channel it wasn't even a 24 hour network. It went off air around midnight & started back on around 6 am. Everything commercial free. In my vhs days I was able to get copies of all my favorite movies animated & not. Wish I still had the monthly Disney Channel Magazines that you got with program schedule & photos & stories of all the Disney stars (Hayley, Annette etc...). Those really were the days.

Here's what I remember from the Disney Channel as a kid. I'm sure this is mostly mid-late 80's, but may include some early 90's material.

Mousterpiece Theater
Baby and Me- I think its what it was called, all I know is that when this show came on, I switched to Nickelodeon.

Lunchbox- (was this nickelodeion or disney?)

DTV

Those commercials/promos that ran before a show started that just showed Mickey's arms. I definitely remember one where he's in a grocery store and trying to get out fast, and a lady pulls in front of him at the register and says she has a coupon for everything.

Dumbo's Circus- I loved this show as a kid.

New Mickey Mouse Club

Disney Halloween

Kids Incorporated

I'm sure theres other stuff I could remember if I think long enough

I was born right smack in the middle of the 80s, so of course I was watching. I remember watching Welcome To Pooh Corner, Dumbo's Circus, Mousercise, Mousterpiece Theatre, Under the Umbrella Tree, Kids Incorporated, The Boogedy Movies, Lunchbox, Disney Halloween, Road to Avonlea, the MMC- all religiously.

I didn't have Disney Channel when I was young.

So I never saw any of these shows.

I didn't (and still don't) have the Disney Channel.... so when a new movie comes out that I want to see (like The Even Stevens Movie) I visit friends
