My daughter is hooked on the Disney Channel, so unfortunately, I've learned to like it too. I sing all the theme songs - Suite Life, Hannah Montana, Raven, etc. I don't think my daughter even changes the station from that channel.

See, I thought I was gonna hate HM, but when I actually saw it, it wasn't that bad. But the way she talked DROVE ME NUTS. Someone said she had a piece in her mouth to help her not speak with such a heavy accent, but while she got used to it (if that was true), she talked like she was spitting on everyone within 10 feet.

I haven't bothered with the Disney Channel since they got rid of Even Stevens.

[cue CT4 saying "BEANS" right now]

I miss the old Disney shows...back when it was still good -- Even Stevens, Flash Forward, Bug Juice. Heck, even Kids, Inc. and the Mickey Mouse Club!

I have to admit that I do like some of their for-TV movies: Johnny Tsunami, The Color of Friendship, the Erica Enders Story, that one about the surfer girl who comes to Hawaii to learn about her mom, etc. Those movies were pretty good.

Thanks for this song in my head: "Kids Incorporated K! I! D! S!"

Johnny Tsunami was awesome, and I liked Color of Frienship too :)
I miss old school Disney...

Anyone else remember Fluppy Dogs? I think they were Disney.

You tell it, I totally agree. I freaking loved Bug Juice. They need to put that series out on DVD. I somehow managed to download some of the episodes from Season One from Limewire or I2Hub I think and I treasure them!
The older movies were really good, the newer ones suck. Disney Channel took a turn for the worse and now I can't bear to watch it anymore. Bring back 1997-2000 Disney please! I am not letting my kids watch it ever (when I have kids, a few years from now).

Oh yeah... "Bug juice! It doesn't come in a jar! Bug juice comes from who you are!" Man, I <3 camp. Season one was the best, can I get an amen?!

Amen!!!! "It has a flavor of what you can become!!"

Bug juice made me want to go to camp sooooo bad, but my parents wouldn't let me go that far away....so I grew up and became a camp counselor instead. :p

Ha! I did the same thing. My parents couldn't afford camp (I have three other siblings). As soon as I was old enough I started looking for counselor jobs. That was the most stressful and awesome summer of my life. I got paid to go to camp. It rocked so hard.

Ditto! Getting ready for camp is already stressing me out (I got a promotion, so it's more business than fun this year), but I still can't wait for camp to start! I still have another couple weeks to go.:mad: There was another Disney show that I loved so much...I was thinking about it today, but it escapes me now....grrrr, I'll remember it as soon as I log off. :rolleyes:

when yourt a parent of a elem. school age child you are somewhat forced to like disney c hannel or nick.

a little late
 

BEANS!!! :)

My favorite Disney Channel shows were Even Stevens and Proud Family. I grew tired of That's So Raven and only really watched it when William (Cory's genius friend) was on there.

I do watch some of the Disney Channel movies though.

oh yeah, the movies are tolerable. i have seen a few really good ones, they still manage to incorporate the same ditzy cast, but oh well...i guess until my child manages to make it onto that channel i'll have to deal with it!!

I am SO going to make my future spawn watch awesome kids shows, not the crap of today but what I grew up on. Carebears, My Little Pony, TMHT (yes, in the UK they were Hero Turtles, not Ninja Turtles. The movies came out as Ninja Turtles but the cartoon didn't. Why, I do not know!), Dangermouse, Muppet Babies, Ren and Stimpy, Sharky and George (did anyone watch that in the US? The theme song is still one of the all-time greats!). Yeah, I watched Ren and Stimpy as a kid and it's still awesome.

Great list, but you forgot Rainbow Brite!:)


Oh, and it always amuses me that the guy who played Gordo on Lizzie McGuire was like 20 when they finished shooting, and they were supposed to be in 7th grade.

OMG what about Transformers, and my favorite Gummi Bears? i actually cant wait until the Transformers movie comes out, i am way too excited about that lol!

I love the Disney Channel. :D
