- The Mickey Mouse club ran originally for four seasons from 1955-1959 on the ABC network. The show has since been revived three times and is one of the longest-running children's shows in television history, known for launching the careers of many child actors. In 1959, ABC canceled the series at the height of its popularity. Why did they do it? Find out in this episode of RerunZone!

I loved watching the Mickey Mouse Club as a kid after school, my sisters and I loved the Hardy Boys. and later Disney’s world of color which was broadcast on Sunday night ( in my town )
Were these the same Hardy Boys who were in the dozens of ghost-written books?
Our neighbors had a color tv and we’d go over every Sunday night to watch Disney world of color. I still remember the song!
Very interesting. I grew up in the 50's and 60's and the Mickey Mouse Club theme song is burned into my brain. M-I-C. See you real soon. K-E-Y. Why? Because we like you. M-O-U-S-E!
And Jiminy Cricket taught me (a NON speller) how to spell encyclopedia. Ah, how the times have changed. Now he's teaching my grandchildren how to engage in anal intercourse.
My mom was in the 30's club too. She went on to be a seminal TV star in Chicago, Angel Casey was her stage name.
She was very beautiful! You must have had a very interesting childhood with she and your dad being famous.
I still remember the Mickey Mouse club but I watch the reruns and now I am 64 years old.
I learned to spell ENCYCLOPEDIA by watching the Mickey Mouse show.
@@glennso47 Jiminy Cricket ROCKS!
My mom told me about the 1930s club.She was too young to remember much, but she did see some shows.
A modern version of this would be a nightmare come alive!
What a hideous thought, given the people running Disney today.
"Gay Day at Disney" would have been unthinkable in 1955. Today, it would be mandatory on TV.
whatever that means
There was a 1980s revival, it was just as cringeworthy as the original....... Yeeeeeuuuuuggggghhhhh!
@@davidlafleche1142 I'm pretty sure back then "Gay" still meant "Happy"...
The Mickey Mouse Club was also syndicated in 1975. That was my first glimpse of it!
This was before my time, but I have seen some of the reruns, it was a clean kid show and not like another, matched the value of Disneyland of today. Kids needs to be kids not forced into early adulthood by careless adults or advertising, there is a life time to be an adult, and only so many carefree years to be a kid, some parents just do not get it.
I remember watching The Mickey Mouse Club in the early to mid sixties. Seeing some of the clips in this video was like total recall with a big ol' grin on my face. The names and the faces brought back some great memories, when it was easy to smile...it was like going back in time in Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine. The return of a innocent and joyous time is appreciated in the world of hell were living in now...thank you.
Mr. Peabody!
Old Walt Disney would turn over in his grave. Knowing what they have turned his Company into now days. All day long Yahoo
I agree! It has strayed FAR from his dream. 😢
I loved Annette- she was the most well-developed 11 year old I ever saw!
Perv
AND THE COMERALS JUST KEEP GETTING MORE,MORE,MORE AND LONGER. "And all on at the same time"
* Annette and the others were already teens when the series began though Karen & Cubby were preteens.
She was the school secretary at my daughter’s high school in the late 1990’s. She was wheelchair bound from a bad car accident years before. She definitely was a favorite of mine on the Mickey Mouse club. My brothers & I watched it faithfully; the song is unforgettable! I’m an older lady now, in my 70’s. Todays youngsters don’t know what good, wholesome entertainment is! 😢
We used to sing and march to THE MICKEY MOUSE MARCH, when in the military, because it was the only song we all knew.
So you all really sang it, not just in Full Metal Jacket?
Imagine if Disney had said no to Kubrick regarding the rights to use the song.
My mother loved The Mickey Mouse Club as a kid. I loved the reruns growing up and I enjoyed the new one.
The new one was full of young people who had been professionally trained in acting, singing, dancing; very full of themselves, not the same at all.
That is where I learned to spell E-N-C-Y-C-L-O-P-E-D-I-A, thanks to Jiminy Cricket.
"" a program that would teach moral lessons to children, it was created to be wholesome"--Walt Disney must be rolling over in his grave!
Disney is a disgrace nowadays!
What is disgraceful about LGBT? I supposed you ignore the research about differences in brains that are present from birth.
Those Mickey Mouse masks from the early 30s are pretty spooky
Imagine: there was a time Disney was wholesome.
There were no Mouseketeers of color and the civil rights movement was in the backdrop. Disney was never wholesome.
Judy Harriet was Jewish. She was on the show in the first season.
I'm part of the generation that were around when The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, the third incarnation in the franchise, was on. That one featured Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Deedee Magno, among others, before they went to do bigger things.
Seeing the dramatic title, I was expecting the reason to be a great deal more dramatic than a contract dispute. Like some sort of scandal. 😁
I enjoyed Disney's syndicated "New Mickey Mouse Club" in the 70s. My favorite Mouseketeer was Lisa Whelchel, who went on to "The Facts of Life" and "Collector's Call".
That’s the incarnation that needs to be profiled. It’s tragic the way it was abruptly cancelled with NO WARNING after ONLY ONE season. And I was devastated and completely ruined my childhood. But inspired me to pursue an acting career as a child.
It was cancelled because it was so hideous. I grew up on the one of the 50’s and tried to watch the “new” one…….couldn’t even get through the entire program, never tried to watch it again.
I was born in 1954...and my earliest(vague)television memories include the Mickey Mouse Club. (Didn't everybody learn to spell Encyclopedia from Jiminy Cricket?)
Now look what Disney wants to do to children!!! Disgraceful!!!!
What do you think Disney wants to do to children?
@@karenryder6317 Groom them.
When Disney+ launched, one of the first things I looked up was the 50's MMC. I was pleased to find that they had the first week's worth of episodes available. I thought they would release more episodes in upcoming weeks, but nope. It's still just the first five episodes.
Hi Fayd, when the Disney Channel started (early eighties), they ran the entire series like it used to be in the fifties - twice a day (morning and afternoon), Monday through Friday; it brought me back to my youth as I grew up with MMC. Ciao, L
There’s plenty of reasons to cancel anything Disney nowadays. Disney is not what it was years ago.
Good God! The early pics were probably what gave kids bad dreams (especially the one at 00:40).
I watched the reruns when I was young so it had to still be in syndication in the early 70’s. I remember my mom introducing my sister and I to it and telling us how much she loved it when she was a kid.
Disney itself needs to be cancelled.
Only the Disney movement SINCE Mr Walt’s passing need to be cancelled, pretty much ALL of it!
I thought it was cancelled because Annette was out growing her t shirt
Most of the mouseketeers were becoming teenagers. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
She remained under the contract to the studio until 1965 when Walt reluctantly let her wear a two-piece when she made beach party movies at AIP.
Oh right! When I was tiny my mom paid money and i got a certificate at Montgomery Wards saying I was in the Mickey Mouse Club, and got free ears, but that is pretty much it. Too bad no club like the scouts were in real life.
My sisters and I loved Annette.
Who didn't?
I didn't have a crush on Annette until the Beach Party movies.
In my elementary school years I can remember being crazy about Annette 🥰
All boys were!
At 1:55, that's Johnny Crawford (Rifleman) on the far left.
The rerun Zone showed Jason Voorhees how to square dance.
Jason was a waterhead.
@@jepolch Merry Christmas to you Joe.
Four seasons and Disney+ only has the first week!
It might need to be restored. That is going to cost a lot of money. This is a show that was on five days a week and shot on film. They also used non-Disney songs, so they’re going to have to pay for those again.
And there is also the question of whether all the episodes that were originally an hour long still exist in that format.
@@Attmay Point taken.
for a second, I thought they were all wareing Guy Faux masks.
Annette Funicello, Doreen, & Cheryl Holdridge are my favorite
Once Walt was gone it was the end of an era.
The timing of his death is duly noted. It’s like the whole world went haywire within less than two years of him being gone.
Yes, the children’s entertainment, at least, went completely downhill after Mr Walt’s passing! It became nasty and placating to bratty kids! 😮
Was going to marry Annette; but she was a year older, and I was only 13.
What kind of morality would Disney be teaching kids today?
Instructions and how to tuck followed by edited clips from *Mulan* and *Robin Hood.*
From what I have read, ABC did not have the rerun rights to THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB. Knowing Disney's history of retaining the rights to what he produced after the loss of Oswald the Rabbit in 1928, it isn't likely that this would have been allowed. Disney's involvement with television and ABC was as an investment source for the building of Disneyland. Accordingly, the evening DISNEYLAND show was structured as a part entertainment omnibus show and promotion of the upcoming opening of the theme park. I was soon afterward that THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB resulted. And while the concentration of more commercials was an issue, the main point was that by 1961, Disney was able to buy out ABC's share in Disneyland, and his evening show moved to NBC re-titled from DISNEYLAND to WALT DISNEY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR, taking advantage of NBC's expansion of color television. Interestingly, the show attracted two major complimentary sponsors, Eastman Kodak and RCA Victor color televisions.

These days Disney would just buy ABC and sack everyone not on board.
Except that none of the revivals have been on ABC. The third version was already on a Disney-owned network, but it was a cable network. Local stations are not going to give up the time they use for local news to a kids’ show anymore. Local stations don’t even make their own kids’ shows anymore. That’s why a phenomenon like this will likely never be repeated.
What about the MMC when Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera were on the show back in the 80's and 90's . They forgot about talking about that .
Tim Considine, pronounced Considyne not Consideen.
so?
2:03 looks like Johnny Crawford. Played the son on The Rifleman.
Annette was my first crush.
It ended just a month and a few days after I was born.
I don’t think they were completely withdrawn from syndication in 1968 because I remember watching it in the early 70s when I was a child
It was not pulled from syndication in the 60s. I watched in the 70s and wasn’t born yet in 60s.
You know the real irony hear is dizz-nee now owns abc! I never watched the M M club, but on Sunday nights The Wonderful World Of Disney hosted by Walt we used to watch. I was born in 53 so woke was not around yet! I wonder what Walt thinks of the new dizz-nee!
Remember the Disney show, "The Wonderful World of Color?" We had to watch it on a black and white TV set. Oh the irony.
@@lawrencelewis2592 It was around 65 when we got our 1st color tv, when dad brought it hope or actually had it delivered, what a major operation, had to get a new antenna because it was a color tv and some other things they had to do. It was crazy.
@@rogermoore5764 We didn't get a color TV until the 70s. We relied on our relative's cast off B&Ws after they bought color sets because my father was too cheap to buy a color set when we were kids. Funny how he had money enough to restore an airplane.
I am sure he would hate it.
@@lawrencelewis2592 Yeah. Born in '52, we watched it on our small B/W TV. Owning a Color TV was some kind of esoteric, rich person thing. A "Club" to which we would never belong.
I remember Mickey Mouse Club and Donald Duck with the gong at the end! I use to sing along to the theme song.
* MMC jumped the shark when it cut back to half-hour. 😵💫
Sad to see what it has BECOME. Anything but "wholesome" nowadays.

I saw the Mickey Mouse Club episodes in 1962.
Seems like lots of people had a miserable childhood.
And as WDW fans we thank Mary Poppins for that
huh?
The mouse is a Louse.
It's a real shame an American icon as fallen, coke and other American icons have been disgraced , I never

Jimmie Dodd Died in 1959 of Lung Cancer and that ended the Original Line-Up.
Actually, he died in 1964 from a congenital heart condition. He also wrote Jiminy Cricket’s song “I’m No Fool.” Lyrics “I’m gonna live to be 103“ take on a poignancy when you consider that he died, relatively young, and that Cliff Edwards drank himself to death and eventually could only get work from Disney as the voice of Jiminy. Nobody else who did the voice since his death in 1971 has been able to sing like him, though. Compare the original opening to the 70s disco version. In the original, Jiminy is singing his lines. In the disco version, he is talk-singing it like Rex Harrison.
M.I.C.K.E.Y. M.L.G.T.B.!
Now we need to cancel Disney, their current business model is fatally flawed unless you're a Groomer who likes children indoctrination.
What a crock. You are mouthing the talking points of the radical right wing echo chamber instead of thinking for yourself.

I was in love with Spin and Marty.
boys upset that people couldn't see there hair thats odd to me
1:01 - jesus, that's a demonic looking Mickey.
Break out the D-Con!
I am old enough that "The Mickey Mouse Club" was BRAND NEW when I watched the very first episode, in 1955. An interesting fun fact, "Roy", one of the adult members, along with "Jimmie", (Jimmie Dodd), was portrayed by Disney animator, Roy Williams. This is the man who created the famous "Flying Tigers" logo in 1941 for the American Volunteers Group that helped China fight off the Japanese. He was originally supposed to be a "fill-in" body until they found a permanent replacement. They never did!
I saw THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB when it was new, too. There is another reason why it was cancelled. After five seasons, the original kids were too old for that type of program aided at children. Also, the show had in a sense "outgrown" its audience and was becoming something of a joke among teenagers. By the time I was in school, some of the kids said the show as for babies. I kept quiet and looked forward to each new season as watching the group grow up. The trouble was that the now teenage Mouseketeers were seen as "square" or artificial and out of touch with what was going on in the late 1950s. This may have been part of the source of teasing some of them faced when they had to return to public school when they weren't filming.
This has been a problem that Disney has faced for years: trying to grow with the audience. It is how we got Touchstone. It is why Pumbaa sings about being alienated by his peers because of his flatus in *The Lion King.*
I like Spin & Marty, and the Harty Boys, but didn't like the sing & dancing.
It replaced Hoddy Dutie. Then local stations played old Three Stooges and "Our Gang "
I related more to Our Gang, because the '30's were only 20 years difference. We actually did many of the same things as the kids of the 30's.
Today's kids wouldn't understand, kids playing without any parents around. In the 50's like the 30's, went out in the morning and played with neighborhood friends. We come in for lunch, and go out until dinner, after dinner we'd play until the streets lights came on.
In the summer, we'd sleep outside on porches.
We have our own baseball, and football games. Around 10 years of age, we'd go on the street car to Pittsburgh Pirates games. We'd get Knote Hole Club tickets.
So we were closer to the 30's then Today's kids.
@@LazloNQ Yes, we did have breakfast. We weren't aloud to use the telephone. We wouldn't knock on the door. We would yell from the street "hay Pauly".
Of course we had our boundaries, which were expanded as we got older.
I remember one conversation. One of the guys wanted to go down the woods. While the rest of us were aloud.
One guy spoke up, and said, "my dad found out that I went down the woods, and gave me a beating ".
So we didn't go down the woods ( I grew up in a suburb of Pittsburgh, where there are a lot of wooded areas.)
So although we were free, we would get beating. We heard of parents keeping a kid in there room as punishment. We thought that was crazy, and would rather have a beating.
The term beating wasn't accurate. As kids what we called beating were actually paddling, but we were tough boys, so we got beating.
For the most part, that is how we learned our boundaries. It wasn't a bad trade of boundaries enforced by paddling gave us freedom.
Another interesting fact, I was a baby boomer. On my street, we had 5 boys born in '47. In '48, there were 4 girls, and one boy.
I lived in a Catholic neighborhood. The boys were not alloud to play with the girls.
I remember riding my bike too close to the girls, and one of the mothers ran out and yelled at me.
Now this is the strange part, in the summer after dinner, the boys and girls of the neighborhood would meet, and play games in the street until the street lights came on. We'd play "it taggers " , "hide & go seek", "release", and "Simon says".
Looking back, it seems strange that we could play with girls at dusk, but not in the day.
Sometimes in the summer, I be driving threw the suburb, that I grew up at dusk. I'll drive threw the street, that I grew up, and no kids playing in the street.
It is sad.

Now Disney owns ABC
And China owns Disney...
Oh, Pooh!
I love the Mickey Mouse club. It's great. Getting rid of these things is just so stupid!! These were great.
Is That the Reason to Go to NBC to Do Walt Disney Wonderful World of Color in the 1960s?
The initial partnership between Disney and ABC was not a happy one, but it was necessary to get Disneyland completed, because none of the other networks were offering anything better until NBC’s color system became viable. I came across an article years ago, where Leonard Goldenson called the Disney brothers “horrible business partners.“ After Disney bought ABC, they responded by making him a Disney legend even though he never actually worked for Disney.
When Walt baby discovered the real draw ,, Annette
I thought it was cancelled because of the "Fun With Music" episode where the Mousekateers presented their idea of what Chinese people were like
They weren't that politically correct back then.
Yeah nobody cared then. Also because Dizz-Nee was trying to bow down to Chy-Na all the time either.
American businesses were closed to them until the 1970s.
Zorro n hardy boys it doesn't get any better
Ron DeSantis went back in time and canceled the show.
4:19 I always wanted to see more of Donald and less of the rodent as a kid. 😉
I hated that show. Boring as hell. My sister could usually whine enough to get mom to turn to the station it was on. I think ma liked it.
Opening scene: the Mouseketeers all passionately singing some ditty about something absolutely nobody would care two figs' worth if not for that passionate ditty. Typical day in Mouseketeer-Land. Annette Funicello prominently in the center of the gaggle of youth, my younger sister and two female cousins (one older than I, the other approx. my age) all watching intently as the camera pans across that robotic group, Annette always in view. Cousins and sister all agree that Annette is the prettiest of the clones. I'm a boy, about 7. Yeah, she's pretty, but... overrated. I rather favored Doreen, to Annette's right. Unsure if I ever made that known to them... they were so adamant. Whatever. Weird kid, I was: I actually liked girls, while my friends swore vehement disgust for them. I had a "girlfriend" every year from kindergarten onwards. Often chose a new one after Christmas break. We both declared girlfriend/boyfriend status, talked for several seconds a day, and that was about it. Her stats rose amongst her peers because she had a boyfriend, mine sagged due to me being "weird" or something. Had to assert more masculinity in my playground activities because of that. Had A lot of fights (often with guys I didn't even know!) to defend my honor. Or something. Plus, I was a skinny kid. Dudes thought I'd be easy or a wimp. Not so. Most of the blood on my torn clothing when I got home was not mine. Mom: "What did you do, another fight, Bo-bo?" Hated that:. "Bo-bo". I wasn't Yogi Bear's little friend "Boo-boo". She called me that until I was about 14 and put my foot down. Weirdly, in my 30's, she called me that a couple of times... and... ya know what? Nostalgia. Warmth. Worked for me. She passed away in early 2001 (well before 9/11-- I was glad she didn't see that). I miss my mom, still. And, while Annette was undoubtedly beautiful, my heart was with Doreen. Rest In Peace, Annette.
I'd like to Mickey Mouse Club
WoW I thought it would of shut down because of being prejudicial , in all pictures and such I haven't noticed a black person,
The show overlapped with Nat King Cole’s musical variety show on NBC that ended because nobody wanted to sponsor it. To this day, advertisers are still afraid of anything that depicts a Black man conveying anything resembling intelligence and sophistication.
Walt could still get Jews and Italians past Southern TV station managers.
I've read that, maybe other than Annette, Disney would fire the Mouseketeers each year and then rehire them so he did not have to give salary raises. My favorite was Cheryl Holdrege RIP.
He did that to other employees, too.
Cheryl holdridge played Wally's girlfriend on leave it to beaver. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I remember one of my friends and his sister watching this with rapt attention in the seventies. What a horribly corny show. It made Ed Sullivan look hip.
My dad once asked why Ed Sullivan was famous when he couldn’t actually do anything himself.
No scandle,just advertising. CLICKBAIT.
Cheryl kissed me once. 😀
I spent a weekend in Aspen with Annette
Yes those days are long gone. Now we have tell you about sex and all the freakish people who don't think that they're the sex they were born with.
It is emasculation propaganda, plain and simple.
Your but all but left Roy out. Why?
HUH??? You even edited that and came up with that?
Even as a kid, I *cringed* at the opening and closing parts of this show when it aired on Australian TV in the early-to-mid 1960s. The show itself was nauseatingly saccharine-sweet, and the kids looked utterly ridiculous. That Jimmie and one other who was middle-aged, sacrificing their adult dignity to wear those stupid mouse-ear hats....... That was one show that should *NEVER* have been imported to Australia.
Disagree. I'm Australian and I loved it. And all the old Warner Bros western and private eye shows of the era. Plus gentle comedies with a moral such as Leave it to Beaver. Australia's Young Talent Time was just as "corny" and I loved that too, at least the early series before I got a bit old for it.
@@worrywart1311 "Young Talent Time" was nowhere near as "corny" as Mickey Mouse Club. YTT was a straight-out honest, well-produced show with 6(originally), later 8 then 9, then eventually 10 members. However, the show was spoiled by the addition of animal characters and puppets in the latter half of the 1970s, so much so that YTT original, Rod Kirkham felt embarrassed to watch it as he said the emphasis had swung away from "talent" and toward the "cute singing kiddie" angle. I've long suspected the hand of McDonalds Hamburger Chain having undue influence on the show's production. But from 1971 to 1975 it was the best thing on TV.
@@neilforbes416 We'll have to disagree - I think the "sad ending" song "All My Loving" was pure kitsch, and I suspect the idea was "borrowed" from the Mickey Mouse Club.
@@worrywart1311 No it wasn't. Johnny Young had recorded the slower version of the Lennon/McCartney composition originally in 1966 and merely adapted it for use as the closing theme of YTT. If anything at all was inspired by Mickey Mouse Club, it would by YTT's forerunner, *Brian & The Juniors* produced at the studios of Station HSV-Melbourne........"We are the Juniors, Juniors, Saying Hello/Farewell to you!" That *REALLY WAS* cringeworthy.
@@neilforbes416 There is a YTT reunion clip on TH-cam where Johnny Young said he wanted YTT (initially intended as only a three months summer filler) to be along the lines of the Mickey Mouse Club. Hence, I guess, the "new talent" segment.
I was in the Mickey Mouse club for two wonderful years. One day I noticed the Family cat looking at me and licking his chops. I got scared and called the Pit Bulldog into the house. Poor ole cat took off and landed on the moon. By that time, the Dog was half crazy and came after me. Luckily I owned a mean as hell pet Rabbit, that I turned loose on the crazy Pit Dog. It was real bad that day. I then grabbed my little brother by his small hand and took him to the local flea market. After selling the toddler for a few bucks, I did the only thing I could think of, I caught a south bound Freight train to Texas.
I bought a bottle of cheap vino and I am now hiding out in Wino alley. If you are the person that bought the toddler please take him back home, Poor ole ma has a mild case of Rabies and needs the Boy bring her medicine in from the root celler.
Too bad the mouse has become woke!
Didn't like this video. Too much pointless back story.
They canceled the Mickey Mouse club because someone ratted the off.

No mention of how all the original mouseketeers were white skinned? 😆 Walt was so laughably insecure.

ABC affiliates in the South would have dropped the show like a rock, and so would the sponsors. Even by the end of the 1960s, Chrysler got skittish about Petula Clark touching Harry Belafonte’s arm on her NBC-TV special.
If I am not mistaken "Jimmy" committed suicide.
Jimmy Dodd died of cancer in 1964. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
