Although The Wonderful World of Disney is typically a Sunday night staple, this latest revival is a Wednesday night event.
Even before Disney purchased ABC in 1995, the channel’s relationship with the company goes back decades.
CBS has already brought back Sunday night movies in recent weeks; their airing of Raiders of the Lost Ark earlier this month averaged over five million viewers recently.
The Wonderful World of Disney name didn’t get adopted by the show until 1969, but it’s the one most closely identified with it, and it’s been the only name the occasional series of movies (often made-for-TV Disney originals) has gone by since 1991.
