For those who don't know, TBTonDC stands for Throwback Thursdays on Disney Channel. It started up in April of 2013. Every Thursday at midnight (Wednesday night, in other words), Disney has been airing a couple of episodes of an older Disney show or an older Disney Channel Original Movie.
Nickandmore has the entire schedule posted from the start all the way through September. I have been paying attention to their site, and they have been 100% reliable about posting what is airing and when.
As you can see from the schedule on that website, Disney has NOT aired So Weird yet, nor do they plan to for September. They haven't even shown That's So Raven, though it seems like they get at least twenty requests for that show a day (though I think they aren't airing That's So Raven because they just released the entire series on iTunes). They're repeating a few shows, too, shows like Sonny With A Chance that went off the air as recently as 2011!
It seems like the chances of So Weird being shown are slim to none, but I am not giving up. Why? Back when TBTonDC started, DisneyChannelPR retweeted this article from Entertainment Weekly which mentioned So Weird in its title. Hey, they aren't completely denying the show's existence!
I know I'm probably getting on everyone's nerves and that people aren't as interested because a lot of the So Weird episodes are available on YouTube (Disney took them down), but wouldn't it be nice to see So Weird on HDTV? Maybe other people would catch the show, too, and remember it. If they've never seen it, they might become interested in it. More interest is a good thing, especially when people are hoping for Disney to release the show's soundtrack or put it on DVD.
If Disney airing So Weird again is never going to happen, tweeting @disneychannelpr with requests seems like our best shot (maybe our ONLY shot) at getting So Weird on DVD or at least on Netflix/iTunes.
PLEASE tweet them, guys. You don't have to spam them (in fact, that's probably not a good idea), just send them a tweet every week or so to remind them that people remember this show and that they miss it. Right now, I seem to be the only one doing it consistently.
Hey, Halloween is on a Thursday this year. What better day for Disney to air So Weird again?

If there was a time that Disney would show So Weird, it would be for October. Alas, it looks like they aren't doing that.
I think I've given up, guys. Six months into TBTonDC and they still haven't shown a So Weird episode. I just don't understand why you'd retweet an article that mentions So Weird in its title if you had no intention of ever airing it. That article also references That's So Raven, Jett Jackson and The Proud Family, and they haven't aired those shows, either. But So Weird was in the title. It was mentioned in the tweet that they sent out, and they still haven't shown it.
You're the worst, Disney.

^^All of this.
I don't understand why they're even airing shows like Sonny with a Chance, Hannah Montana and Jonas as part of a "throwback" lineup... they're not that old. And The Cheetah Girls 2? How the hell does that fit in with the October Halloween theme? Especially when they have so many older Halloween/scary movies like Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire, Don't Look Under the Bed, Phantom of the Megaplex, the original Halloweentown, etc.
Epic fail, Disney.

Epic fail, Disney. Wow, I didn't even see that Cheetah Girls 2 was in the lineup, I was just looking specifically for So Weird. That doesn't fit at all! It looks they're planning to show some of those DCOMs you mentioned at other times in October, though... albeit at 2:30 in the morning (Under Wraps October 5th, Don't Look Under the Bed October 6th, Phantom of the Megaplex October 7th). But yeah, they had so many options for Halloween TBTonDCs and they didn't fully take advantage of it.
I agree that Sonny, JONAS and Hannah Montana aren't what I'd call throwbacks. It annoys me that they're airing all these shows that are available elsewhere when there are a bunch of older shows that aren't available anywhere that could fill the lineup. They have the entire Lizzie McGuire and Kim Possible series available to watch for free on their website (or you can buy episodes through iTunes), and Hannah, Sonny, Cory in the House, and JONAS are all available on iTunes as well, yet they have already repeated airings for some of them!

I'd like to help but I don't use Twitter! If you want, you can e-mail a suggestion instead! This website says to send requests for TV programming to support@disneyonline.com.

Really? That's surprising. I thought Don't Look Under the Bed was banned from Disney. I didn't look at Disney's programming schedule, I only looked at the Throwback Thursday one. It's weird that they'd air those at a normal slot and not as part of the Throwback lineup. But I guess if they can bring back Don't Look Under the Bed, there's still a glimmer of hope for So Weird?

I only looked at their schedule for October since it's Halloween. It seems like most of the DCOMs I remember are Halloween related.
Given that they are showing the scarier DCOMs, there's still the slightest hope for So Weird. But So Weird was kind of a double whammy. Not only was it scary, it was surprisingly bleak at times.
I want to Keep the Faith, y'all, but there's a lot going against us right now.

It's been one year since TBTonDC was announced, and Disney hasn't played So Weird once so... that's that.

Do you know if there's other shows that havent been played? Maybe So Weird isn't alone in the avoidance..

There are a lot of shows that Disney hasn't played. The oldest show they've played is Even Stevens. They still haven't played That's So Raven, and I don't think they've played The Proud Family, either.
From what I can remember, they've played Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, Kim Possible, Phil of the Future, Suite LIfe/Suite Life on Deck (I think), Cory in the House, Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place (I think, not sure), Sonny with a Chance, and Jonas L.A. They've played a lot of original movies, too.
Apparently, Disney is also calling TBTonDC DisneyReplay. now.

I wouldn't consider most of those shows to be old. The oldest ones are Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens so it's an higher unlikely chance for them to ever show So Weird..
