User blog comment:Nutta of da Buttas/Save Austin & Ally!/@comment-4146635-20140123215614

Hey! I love this! We need to save A&A! But there are a few things I need to clear up. Fantasma was a pilot that was announced a year and a half ago. It doesn't take Disney that long to pick up a pilot and with Disney airing new shows like Liv and Maddie, I Didn't Do It, and GMW and then making a new pilot, Super Awesome Katy, Fantasma was most likely not picked up as a pilot. Not counting those, Disney currently doesn't really have any new shows coming in that need slots. It's too early for them to cancel a show for Super Awesome Katy, I'm pretty sure they haven't even started filming the pilot yet. Plus, they don't always cancel shows because they have a new one coming in. So really, Austin & Ally is safe in that sense.

BUT I think the main reason why people are getting scared about this is because Disney has been cancelling a lot of shows lately. But let's think about the reasons why.

Now let's think of why Austin & Ally would possibly be cancelled. My only theory is because maybe Disney wants to put new things on the channel. Maybe it's also because Ross is growing up and he's focusing on R5. But the ratings are pretty good and the fanbase is huge and very active. And think about it, Ross just starred in Teen Beach Movie which got 8.4 million views! That movie was a HUGE hit, why would they let Ross go? Also, Austin & Ally: Turn It Up was on the top charts I think on iTunes for albums/soundtracks (I heard this somewhere). Austin & Ally is very a successful show with successful actors and Disney would be crazy to let the show go. Most of the A&A episodes are in the 3 million range so they don't really slip out of line like A.N.T. Farm does. Not to mention the Auslly episodes scored the show over 4 million viewers. People want to see more of that! Honestly, I just don't see why Disney wouldn't renew A&A for a season 4.
 * Good Luck Charlie - Disney never takes shows to season five and I'm sure Good Luck Charlie didn't have much of a reason for them to continue, especially with Bridgit in her 20's.
 * A.N.T. Farm - A.N.T. Farm ratings started to really tank in season 2. Check wikipedia and you'll see the amount of viewers it got for the episodes. Disney's average is 3 million each episode and they're in the 2 million range. It's no surprise they decided to end the show.
 * Shake It Up - Honestly this is the only show I'm not sure of. I have a few theories. Zendaya is getting her own show so possibly they wanted to focus on her and let Bella go. Bella also is going to do much more movies so maybe Bella wanted to focus on that. I mainly think they wanted to focus on Zendaya. She just had an album, she just shot a DC movie, and now she is getting ready to film a DC pilot. So definitely, they want to keep her around.

If they don't renew it, I'm going to conclude that only 3 seasons is probably going to become a new thing for Disney. Idk why, maybe budget cuts (which I highly doubt). But I'm confident that Austin & Ally will get a season 4! :D
