[edit] Odd Sentence
"When TV Actress Countess Vaughn did not make it was not join the cast." - what the heck does this mean? It doesn't make any sense.
[edit] how many episodes
How many episodes were made for the 1st NMMC season?
(sorry, I thought you said original MMC!) Difficult to say. Five a week starting October 3, 1955 until, I don't know... March or April? I certainly can't imagine them going year-round, and since they were hour-long episodes the first two years, I find it difficult to imagine them going more than 26 weeks - 130 episodes. I would expect that they did reruns in the spring and summer, and perhaps even around Christmas time. It must have been absolutely grueling for the actors. I imagine that Walt Disney looked upon the show as one of his two flagship programs, and the studio went all out. The Mouseketeer segments did not even make up a whole hour, probably no more than 20 minutes worth with the whole cast, and perhaps another 10-20 minutes with a small number of them. The rest of the show used stock cartoons, footage shot by roving camera crews (like for the Newsreel), and other guest segments (like Professor Wonderful).
The New Mickey Mouse Club of the 1970s I can say for sure: 130 in the first year, another 130 in the second year. Again, there was use of stock cartoons and movies, and anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes of Mouseketeer involvement. (Some of the second batch of episodes had a serial segment and a cartoon, leaving very little time for the Mouseketeers themselves to appear in, and much of that was already taped and simply reused.)
Unless the episodes were "re-cut" for any of the scanty reruns after 1979, you can tell a first year and second year apart: the first year has a longer opening title sequence: two rocket trails, "he's our favorite mouseketeer we know you will agree, take some fun and mix in love our happy recipe" is among the additional lyrics.
Now, if you mean the 1980s-90s New Club, I couldn't tell you. I'd suspect no more than 130 per season, allowing one set of reruns. GBC 03:41, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Each season had a different set number of shows. The numbers are approximate.
The 1st and 2nd seasons had about 45 episodes. The 3rd and 5th seasons had about 55 episodes. Celebrated episode 100 in season 3 and episode 200 in season 5 There was actually a break in between these seasons. They ran the first half of the season then reran it before showing the second half. The 4th and 6th seasons had about 35 episodes. The 7th season had about 54 episodes.
In between seasons, the reran the season they just showed and reruns of previous seasons. I hope I'm right. :) - User:Toxicgal 19:45, 3 April 2005 (UTC) - (not by GBC - I have no interest in and no counts for the 1989-96 series)

Have restored this section YET AGAIN after blanking. Please do not remove the remarks of others from Talk pages, even if you disagree with them. The exceptions are forum-like comments that have nothing to do with the article, or the removal of personal attacks, neither of which apply to the text above. Thank you.

[edit] MMC Credit Clipping
If the 90's MMC were to air on the credit-clipping ABC Family, where would they clip? While I know they would wait until after the "Now it's time to say goodbye..." part, would they show the Disney-MGM Studios bumper? What would probably happen? 206.211.69.253 12:22, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
I don't think they would edit the credits out completely. I think they will go to that annoying split screen. You know where the credits roll on one half (extremely small and hard to read) and ABC Family will show promotions for other shows on the other half (meaning you wouldn't be able to hear the closing rap).
[edit] Moosketeer maybe
It say here the name is not mouseketeer, why? Lincher 16:52, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
It was just an endearing term for Roy because he was such a big guy. He's not mouse size, he's moose size.

- First of all, there is no need to come in here and insult people. Please see Wikipedia's policy on civility. Second, please do not remove someone else's comments from this page, even if you disagree with them. Third - yes, the dates given for this incarnation of the show keep getting changed back and forth, and it would be nice to settle the issue. However, to do so requires something more than a claim that this is what it was. We need to find a reliable source that establishes which dates are correct, preferably something a little more reliable than IMDB, tv.com etc. Do you have a published source for the schedule above? If so, please provide it. Thanks. Karen | Talk | contribs 04:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

- This is a family article on a publicly-accessible web resource. There is no call for such vulgarity to be shown. Most mature people would agree that profanity should not be used around children, and as for me, I could live to be 999,999 and I still would consider myself too young to use profanity. I felt very strongly compelled to excise the vulgarity. Those who want to use the excised word can do so between their eyes and their brains. I do not apologize for sparing people such vulgarity.

I didn't delete anything. Don't look at me! Also the dates I have came from the official website that ran through 2002. WWW.MMCONLINE.COM its probably down now. I apologize for my ulgarity. I hope you two can forgive me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.185.125.101 (talk) 06:44, 3 November 2006 [UTC]
