Do you remember the TV show "The Wonderful World of Disney"? That was the original show from way back in the 60's. It was used to be on Sunday nights for a long time on NBC while Ed Sullivan was on another network, CBS. Back then they used to show 2-part hour long movies both from theatrical and non-theatrical. The 2-part hour long non-theatrical movies are sometimes called a mini-series. I have the book called "The Wonderful World of Disney Television". It gives you all the episode guides and airdates of what episode was aired or probably a number of repeats. I have lots of video tapes of all the 2-part hour long mini-series of movies that were shown on "The Wonderful World of Disney". I have "The Flight of the Grey Wolf", "Justin Morgan Had a Horse", "Hog Wild", "The Wacky Zoo of Morgan City", "The Horsemasters", "The Magnificent Rebel", "Ballerina", "Johnny Shiloh" plus a whole lot more. I love that show. It used to be on Disney Channel since it was used to be an overnight block called "Vault Disney". But not anymore. I hope that all of the one hour mini series will ended up on DVD soon. I used to love that show, but I missed it a lot. The show was used to be on back in the 60's and the 70's. I wasn't even born yet since Disney was used to be on every Sunday.

I'll give a couple of titles of the Disney spin-off shows that has been on over the years. The show was originally called "Disneyland" back in 1954 until 1958. There are a few spin-off shows that Disney made. Here are the following titles:

1. "Walt Disney Presents" (1958-61)
2. "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" (1961-69)
3. "The Wonderful World of Disney" (1969-79)
4. "Disney's Wonderful World" (1979-81)
5. "Walt Disney" (1981-83)
6. "The Wonderful World of Disney" (1980's syndicated rerun title)
7. "The Magical World of Disney" (1988-90)
8. "The Wonderful World of Disney" (1997-present)

I have vivid memories of eating mom's Sunday roast beef dinner on t.v. trays in front of the t.v. every Sunday watching Disney. Walt himself would host and do a little setup in his "office" before the show. Always used to imagine him (or Mel Blanc) as my grandfather - he had such a sweet, friendly manner about him.

It was always a good show. I think My Three Sons would follow it at 7 p.m.

Actually, in real life, Disney was all businessman, and litterally neglected his only daughter Diane
