That Darn Disney
It has been a while since I have mentioned it, but when Michael Eisner left Disney I had hoped that the days of the Disney Channel killing off their shows after 65 episodes or 3 seasons was a thing of the past. The thought that would wrap up Hannah Montana after 3 years, never even entered my mind. That ended when I ran across Miley Manic.
First I found the post about the Hannah Montana movie. When I saw that, it clicked. They were planning on ending Hannah Montana. It is just the way Disney does it (Well, except for Phil of the Future, which they quite abruptly ended with a single episode at the end of Season 2). The Lizzie Maguire Movie, The Proud Family Movie, The Even Stevens Movie, and even Kim Possible: So The Drama (though fans managed to wrangle an extra season out of that).
Of course, if I had just gone back a few more posts first, I would have found this post. Now there was a rumor flying around lately (I wouldn’t be surprised if they were started by PerezHilton, which seems to have it out for Miley) that Hannah Montana was already canceled. That was patently false. The show is still going on… at least until that movie is aired. Even the premise as reported, that the Stewarts were going back to Tennessee, sounds like the type of storyline that would end the show.
Now I realize that many of you (and I certain “should be”) are a bit tired of Hannah Montana, and her seeming overexposure, but if Hannah is to survive the end of season three, it is time to start now thinking about writing a letter or giving a call to Disney and tell them that they have got to stop arbitrarily axing shows after 3 seasons.
I am totally not telling LatteGirl until the show has completely ended, and I guess hope that she is “over” Hannah by then. I don’t want it to break her achy breaky heart. (aww, c’mon, you knew I had to do it sooner or later)

One thing to keep in mind is that they are dropping shows once the lead character gets over 15/16, which is older than the targeted audience. I think they should consider creating shows with stars that are younger from the beginning so that they have a longer shelf life. It’s a theory.
I’d like to see this show last an extra season too, but I bet Miley is thinking about putting Hannah behind her too and trying to make Miley more popular than Hannah.
