Loved this show when Glen V was part of the show also when the Hailstones were there, but now that Glen was fired and the Hailstones have disappeared, I will no longer be watching. Disney screws up all of my favorite things star wars is garbage now and I'm sure that they will kill guardians of the galaxy next.

Outstanding show. I'd buy it if it wasn't on Disney. I'll have nothing to do with a company that supports pedophiles and Child molesters.
