Some people just don't get it.
Monica Cole, the one woman behind the American Family Association spin-off, One Million Moms, is targeting Disney Channel's new series, The Owl House, which premiered last month, because of "demonic" content. Like, what did this loser expect?
For those of you who haven't seen the series yet, here's the opener, courtesy of Disney Channel's YouTube channel:
The series cast includes Wendie Malick (ex-Dream On, Just Shoot Me) and Mae Whitman, whose NBC series, Good Girls, begins its 3rd season tonight.
What Cole is looking to do is extend her 15 minutes of infamy after her laughable protest of Burger King's Impossible Whopper sandwich exposed the truth about OMM late last year. For the 2nd time in less than a year, she's gone after Disney, after the farce of a protest over "Toy Story 4" last summer. She doesn't represent every Christian out there, and I honestly wish she'd give up this scam. Those of us with open minds will see Owl House as it was intended to be, unintimidated by a closed-minded scammer.
We'll have a full review of the show another day.

As you say, this is just some loser trying desperately to stay relevant, as if anyone asked for her dumb ass opinion. This One Million Moms person has previously targeted Nickelodeon's
"The Loud House" for similarly stupid reasons. Lady, if you don't like the show, just don't watch it. It's not meant for you anyway.
I haven't seen "The Owl House" yet, but I've heard similar objections from other CINOs (Christians In Name Only) about Harry Potter, because supposedly God condemns magic. Sure, you could just not read the books or watch the movies, but that would make too much sense. Here's the thing, though: if you're going to outlaw Harry Potter, then Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy would have to go too, and if that were to happen, then the next figure on the chopping block would be Jesus Christ, because some people believe him to be made up too.
Media nannies like Monica Cole think they're important enough to force-feed their views on us, regardless. I did a piece on her over at The Land of Whatever over the Burger King imbroglio a few weeks ago, and I didn't think we'd hear from her again so soon.
I know The Owl House became super popular before its official premiere date was announced, what with Dana Terrence’s involvement in Gravity Falls. Don’t get me wrong, I would start watching it, but the only reason I won’t is that I’m still cross with Disney for not seeing the need to give Wander Over Yonder one more season. In fact, because of their ignorance (and that of most hardcore fans of overrated shows like GF and Star vs. the Forces of Evil), I’ve been refraining from watching anything airing on DC and DXD in the past few years. Call it a viewership strike.
You would think for a company that’s open to ideas that someone might find objectionable, Disney would have let Craig McCracken reveal what makes Lord Dominator look like a picnic on a sunny day - the public still has no idea of who or what the new threat is. All things considered, I don’t blame Craig for leaving the company to work for Netflix, where he’s working on his next cartoon, Kid Cosmic. Seems as though Disney would no sooner appoint Alex Hirsch (who plays the role of King in TOH) as the new general manager of DTVA than give WOY a proper conclusion. I just hope that someday, we’ll see that conclusion on Disney+ after KC is done - that’s where The Proud Family is getting a third season.
Doesn't Disney still have set episode limits?
That might depend on how worthy the shows are in their eyes. Phineas and Ferb was popular enough to go on as long as Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh wanted (4 seasons with over 200 episodes if you count one 11-minute cartoon as one episode). Regardless of that, Fish Hooks got 3 seasons, thereby surpassing 100 episodes, and Noah Z. Jones was able to finish it his way. SvtFoE became the flagship show of Disney XD after GF ended - Daron Nefcy got away with just about anything and it still got 4 seasons. Paul Rudish’s take on Mickey Mouse is occasionally rather grotesque, yet Disney loves it so much that they might not plan on stopping it in the next 5 years. Other shows that got at least 3 seasons are Tangled, DuckTales, Big Hero 6, and various shows on Disney Junior.
I’d still like to see that pitch for WOY S3 that was made five years ago. It’d be a shame to let it go to waste.
If McCracken can gain the rights to Wander Over Yonder, maybe you'll get your wish.
That would be nice. If Disney has no intention whatsoever to resolve that downed space pod cliffhanger within the next five years, I strongly suggest Netflix buys the rights to the show. As far as McCracken is concerned, he’s probably happier there than he was at Disney. Shows that got wrapped up right (e.g. Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero), get all the love, or aren’t in danger of cancellation can stay where they are.
If all else fails, there’s always the made-by-professional-fans approach Team Sea3on has been taking for Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), though I wouldn’t mind the cheaper web comic version.
Okay, I’m done.
Thanks for sharing.
