Disney Channel rant

DSWiiMaster42 · May 05, 2008, 02:15:28 PM

Let's all discuss Disney Channel, a channel that was good in the past, but is now a steaming pile of poop.

Back in the old days, Disney Channel had great and entertaining shows like Duck Tales, Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers, Timon & Pumbaa, The Little Mermaid, House of Mouse, Dave the Barbarian, Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, and so much more. Now they got rid of most/all of those shows and replaced them with unentertaining shows like Hanna Montana, Phineas & Ferb, Wizards of Waverly Palace, and awful movies like High School Musical and Twitches.

They barely show the good stuff like Kim Possible, American Dragon, That's so Raven, DtB, and B&MW anymore, and when they show KP or AD, it ALWAYS has to be one of the new episodes. AD was good the first two seasons, but ever since they changed the artwork of the characters, the show went downhill. KP's new episodes are OK, but I think the old episodes were the best.

Now let's discuss The Replacements and Emperor's New School. I'd like The Replacements more if the characters were less annoying, but Emperor's New School isn't that bad IMO. I think the movie (Emperor's New Groove) was better though.

And I have no idea why all the little girls between the ages of 4 and 10 think Hanna Montana and HSM are awesome, because those shows suck and the characters have no talent whatsoever.

Discuss.

I hated half the shows you mentioned. :|

Especially Dave the Barbarian, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, and even more so, American Dragon.

Btw it's Hannah Montana. :P

Blah blah blah. You hate it because it doesn't have the shows you like, and you're not in their targeted audience. Heard it before.

Apparently you like cartoons a lot... Either way Disney channel is a waste no matter how you look at it.

Just make a generic shonen-rip off for the boys and a bunch of bad sitcoms starring Disney made music stars for the girls and the ratings will go through the roof.

Well, I'm more of a classic cartoon person myself. I enjoy cartoons that were made during the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's (and some 40's and 50's cartoons like Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry). There aren't much good cartoons that are new.

It is apparent you don't have a sense of judgment to make what I said make sense... I meant to say "Only you would make that correction uh?", I forgot to add a "make" in front of "that".

lol would that be from my CN thread on Power On? I never checked on it since I posted it...

Yeah. They had AoStH on Disney too. That was the sole reason why I had Disney Channel on my Favorites list back in the day.

I grew up with AoStH. I had a few videotapes of it and I watched the living poop out of them every day. So much memories... :)

I didn't mind Kim Possible too much.

American Dragon is possibly one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
It's so painful to watch this pale, white, skater kid try to act ghetto.

Dave the Barbarian is just painfully stupid.

Heehee! I'm a preppy teenage girl, but I'm cool, I'm a secret agent action hero!

Kim Possible sucks, so does the rest of the channel. It was never good u guys, you just thought it was because you were eight.

I was really hoping that they would make at least one more season of Brandy & Mr. Whiskers but I'm just glad it's still on.
