    How about all those cool Disney Afternoon series? Duck Tales. That Jungle Book one. Darkwing Duck.

    Dan Casltellana was a better Genie, IMHO.

    The problem with this thinking is if someone misses an episode. Fox had a similar system with some of their shows for a while and the result was that once I had missed one episode, I stopped watching the broadcast for the rest of the season since I wanted the watch the previous episode before watching the next one. By providing it online 5-6 days later, people can catch up last weeks episode and still watch the broadcast for the current week.
