Not to argue much on such a subject, but not quite. The local line up
changed from the national one at times, but Gargoyles was on for
1995-1997 only and was removed after that, while the entire thing
continued for 2 more years and 2 more shows were added. Also,
Gargoyles was popular enough for them to order a 2nd run of 52
episodes, which is a big deal and Disney even went beyond that with the
third season and broke their long standing rule of stopping at 65
episodes. That only happened for a few episodes (like "Duck Tales").
See this:

And, yes, I'm interested in doing some animation production when my
studio is up and running. There's a reason I track some things like
this. Believe it or not, I do have a life.
