Actually yeah the popularity seems to have died down here too. Main reason for this is that it was picked up by the least popular Terrestrial channel and put on at a wierd time. Better than Sesame though - that ended up on at 5am !!! It does air on the Disney channel too but not everyone has access to that and it's also not that great timewise. The merchandise seemed to be selling upto last christmas, but now a lot of the plushes and things are half price in the Disney store and still sitting on the shelves. I have noticed that the videos and DVD's still are selling though.
