When Fox Kids aired D&D in the summer of 2000 and they changed the theme song!

Actually... I did kind of like the new theme. But you don't mess with perfection!

That time President Reagan caused havoc with the Disney Sunday Movie and Robin Hood got delayed and substituted with Winnie the Pooh! (March 16th, 1986)

On March 16, 1986, President Reagan made a prime time televised speech "warning" the American public about a "mounting danger in Central America" posed by the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua. He urged Congress to approve military and humanitarian aid for the Contras, an anti-Sandinista rebel group, framing them as "freedom fighters" defending democracy.

ABC was aware that this newly planned speech was going to cut into the back half of the Disney Sunday Movie timeslot so there wasn't enough time to air the planned animated film, Robin Hood. Disney and Michael Eisner had to scramble to come up with a replacement and a new intro. Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree aired that night instead and Robin Hood was rescheduled for April 27, 1986.

Photon! The show that was supposed to be a cartoon, but instead they went with this...

Somebody at DIC was really like, "we can just barely pull off a cartoon, so let's do a whole effects-heavy live action series!"

Tonight on the Disney Sunday Movie... Fluppy Dogs! (Complete with Michael Eisner intro. August 30th, 1987)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluppy_Dogs

Animation was supplied by TMS Entertainment, who had previously been contracted by Disney on another concurrently running animated series, Adventures of the Gummi Bears.

This was planned to be a pilot for a series, but the low ratings scrapped the series idea.

Did Picard’s slavish devotion to the Temporal Prime Directive prove Kirk to be the better Captain?

Picard: “I must exit the nexus at almost the same point I went in so that I minimize damage to the timeline.” [loses Ent-D]

Kirk: “Jump to the future to help you kick some random guy’s ass? I’m down. After that, let’s go back and kick Kahn’s ass.”

Seriously, all Picard had to do was jump back to Ten Forward and arrest Soren on the spot, then movie over. Actually he could have jumped back three days earlier and saved his family and then still arrested Soren in Ten Forward. But nope, not strait laced Picard. So he loses his family and his ship.
