Here is my video on the decline of the Disney Channel. This is why the Disney Channel died. It's very simple but very sad. It was nostalgic for me to make this video so I hope you enjoyed watching it. Disney Channel had amazing Iconic shows with iconic songs and moments. Then it all went downhill and became terrible. The internet became big and Netflix and CZcams grew. Millennials started migrating to the internet. Disney tried to adapt the Disney Channel but they failed. Thus the Disney Channel died. Disney is now putting their focus on DIsney+ which makes complete sense. Disney is not dead but it's time to say goodbye to the Disney Channel.

Honestly, whoever runs Pixar should be the lead of Disney channel. Because Pixar caters to young children and adults without having to include sexual themes or older tones because the quality is that good.
I agree!
@@mysticc6232 that's a very good point
The way the movie Soul has a grip on me…
Have you actually met one of those weird sheltered kids? They have no friends in highschool.
Yo, I love this comment so much because it speaks the truth. You don't need sexual content, intense violence, or even darker tones to make a great story. Literally anything can be a good story so long as it tells a relatable tale, explores an interesting question, and has a good message.
There is no requirement that only content aimed at adults can be good. So long as the creators care and try to produce something good, mediaTheygreatestgreatest
Modern Disney channel be like: *let’s put a laugh track every time a character says fucking anything*
Why is this fact did you see their new show just roll with it. Man that show is garbage and unfunny.
@@waffle7358 no and I’m never gonna see it 🙄🙄
@@nuggetanimation7217 yeah save ur self.
@Eriona Pillow like what u like I hate to admitted but as a kid I LOVED liv and Maddie like I actual went to a live tv thing of it now looking back I can tell it was not that funny or good but I was a dumb lil kid who thot quirky stuff makes it funny
Absolutely.
I feel like another big reason is teen idols. With the exception of Olivia Rodrigo, no Disney kids have a following the way the og Disney kids did. Miley, Selena, Demi, the Jonas Brothers, Sprouses, Zack Effron, etc. at the same time, the “teen idol” slot has been filled by tik tokers and CZcamsrs. (Hype house, James Charles, etc)
Zendaya definitely has more of a following than Demi, Selena and definitely the Sprouse twins. At least I think she does.
I would argue that Dove Cameron (Liv and Maddie, Descendants) is the exception, but you're right that most of the actors on recent DC shows fade away shortly after their time on DC ends.
@@PeterGriffin11 yeah but I consider her as a part of their era. She was on shake it up. Ik she did kacey undercover but that hasn’t been on in a while
@@PeterGriffin11 Zendaya has 105 million Instagram followers, Selena Gomez alone has 256 million…
@@PeterGriffin11 not really, she isn't a household name yet (internationally) but she is on the right path..
its rlly sad hearing their “age compression” statement bc idc how much kids are being pushed out of tweenhood by dark teen media, it literally just takes studios like disney to do something different. kids still need simple relatable even “cringy” cheesy content. everyone tries to blame literal 12-18 yr olds for “growing up too fast” when they’re just absorbing wat theyve been given to watch. its not hard to give them something better.
Yeah, it's the product of being neglected by their parents who let them watch whatever just so they don't bother them. It makes children vulnerable to things they are not prepared to deal with. I hate to say it, but "Age compression" gives me gr00mer vibes...
They also make fun of that tween stage that everyone born in this internet age up until like the early 2000s went through kids go from watching Disney and Nick sitcoms in "kid" (usually bright colours and text) clothing to Riverdale and such and wearing crop tops and ripped jeans. People complain that kids are too "fast" but are quick to make fun of kids naturally progressing to teenagehood (they're still kids but I'm trying to differentiate a bit)
I was grown by 17/18 lol. But yeah, Disney was a guilty pleasure for me during the 2000's when I hit my 20's lol.
I think what killed Disney channel was the logo changing and them removing the glossy sparkly wand thing
This!! Honestly Disney started losing touch on all things that made them Disney. The wands, bumpers, Disney channels games series, special crossover episodes. It rlly seemed like they got lazy and lost everything that made kids/teens attracted to the channel.
@@dasiamonet Yes! Spot on. For years I kinda thought it was just one thing but over the past 4 years I realized it's multiple things. I kinda hinted at it in my original comment. If you check out the playlists I have on my channel of the old Disney Channel content I have, your point will be proven even more
@@DarkManX16 I will definitely check out the playlist!!
Recently there was a crossover between Raven's Home and Bunk'd. You could definitely tell which parts were written by which show.
In my personal and correct opinion, Bunk'd is bad. It is mostly taken up by cheap humour. Raven's Home is a pretty smart show and never sounds as if it's trying too hard when they use certain slang words.
One half of the crossover ran smoothly and seemed as if real people were in the show instead of caricatures. The latter half had a fart machine and "We are geniuses so of course we can figure out how to get this through the door."
they never did that...
The real truth is Disney the company stopped really investing in disney channel, most of the good shows we got in the 2000s took yearssss of pre-production, they knew the success they wanted and they invested time and effort to make sure it went well, also the stars of the 2000s were used across platforms, they didnt profit just from the show's rating but also just how popular their actors & characters was, think Miley, selena, demi and the Jo Bros, heck hannah montana the movie beat out one of the fast & furious movie during the opening weekend box office, Hannah Montana was the tv show soundtrack to go #1 on billboard 100 in all of history BUT once they realised the success wasnt re-creatable and the risk if the actors went against the "disney image" they stopped caring, period
Exactly remember Hannah Montana season 1 was filmed in 2005 and aired 2006 but season 2 was filmed in November 2006 to September 2007 that’s a big gap
Especially that they did found out that they wouldn’t make as good shows. JONAS has been compared to Hannah Montana, that didn’t really good. Sonny with the change had that Second thing uhhhh... you know what I mean... it wasn’t the same. Suit life on deck wasn’t the same as Suit Life... and then they stoped ‘remaking’ known show
Absolutely agree! I also think additionally to that, they now invest more into Disney+ cause its way more profitable
@@saraa7841 but suit life on deck was just as good
Disney as a company just didn't care about television much. I mean before DC and Touchstone TV it had a couple of TV specials, The Mickey Mouse Club (all versions), Zorro, and The Wonderful World of Disney.
Here’s the issue with Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, etc. There’s becoming too many streaming services. It’s costing way more than a tv package to have all of the streaming services that you’ll need to watch your favorite shows scattered amongst all of them. However, pretty much everything can be viewed via CZcams Premium or illegal third party sites. If more companies keep putting out streaming services, it’ll backfire and eventually a lot of people will resort to other means after being sick of having to pay for subscriptions to multiple platforms.
with the pandemic it seems that more and more people are using them and these services keep adding more movies, new or old. this is gonna lead to the decline of theaters so i think people will stick with these services rather than paying 10-15 bucks per person to see one movie once, that is if streaming services don’t raise prices
You only really need 3 though Netflix, Disney plus, and HBO max and maybe Amazon. You can also share accounts.
@@lamaripiazza5226 theres even bundles too so it would cost a lot less than going to a theater
You're absolutely right, and it just goes to show that the whole streaming realm is uncharted territory for all of the entertainment companies in terms of consumer desires. Eventually people are going to get sick of having to pay $200-300 a month for 10-20 different electronic entertainment subscriptions. What I think will happen in the future is that one or two of them may join forces with a handful of others so that there is a lesser total number of subscriptions and customers aren't as inundated with both the wide variety and compounding costs.
Let me give an example: NBC just launched its streaming service Peacock last summer. The problem is that its very new and not many have yet heard of it, so when you take a person who is already paying $50-100 a month for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and even audio subscriptions such as Spotify and/or Apple Music, and then introduce them to Peacock, they will realize that they are already spending too much on entertainment and won't put out more cash for yet another streaming service, especially when its new and also likely has a limited catalog, which I suspect is the boat Peacock is in right now. If Peacock fails to take off for this reason, NBC might decide to eliminate it completely and sign a deal with Netflix or Hulu to carry their content instead, since they each already have a strong customer base. TL;DR, the streaming companies might start sharing their catalogs with each other so that there is a fewer total number of which the individual customers need to keep track.
No it’s actually cheaper for me to just do Netflix & stars or Hulu vs. $80 for cable.
I stopped watching Disney Channel in 2011 when Suite Life On Deck ended and A.N.T. Farm began. It just wasn't the same after that imo.
Yea
For me DC ended in around 2012/2013 when almost all their classic cartoons and sictoms stopped being aired and shows like Austin and Ally or Jessie started. It wasnt the same it used to be.
ANT Farm was an excellent show for Disney standards imo
Same here. Stopped watching after Suite Life ended.
I stopped watching at the exact same time
After Any Original Show Ended On Disney I’m Headed Disney+ For The Nostalgia Back
I’m not a writer either but I kinda figured out why later Disney channel jokes stopped being funny.....it’s because of the actors/characters. Let me explain...... notice how when characters from old shows (Hannah Montana, zack and Cody, that’s so raven, etc.) tell a joke it’s funny because it comes from a specific character that has a define character trait that plays into the joke.
For example, the prendl scene, its funny because we know London is an airhead and would think the gear shift is something you spell and mr. moseby dramatically correcting her because he is a dramatic character and adding the “AM or FM” just adds to how dumb London is and would probably understand what he’s talking about. It’s more like the actors are selling you the joke with their characters vs now the actors are telling you the joke and expect for you to understand
I call it the PRNDL till this day because of how funny it is 😂
yes very well said 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@@xamanbro826 it’ll never not be funny🤣
EXACTLY! The characters are integral to the understanding of the jokes. Not like now, when any character could say the same joke and it would be just as dull as if another character had told it. It's memorable characters that tell memorable jokes. These are the references, like PRNDL, which stick around for almost 2 decades.
For Zack and Cody, I think the twins stopped being funny around midway through The Suite Life on Deck because as both Cole and Dylan grew older, their acting grew out of comedy. Now we see Cole in Riverdale and Dylan doing some short films or smaller projects, but they’re mainly encompassing drama or thriller
I had to pause the vid to comment this - you really hit the nail on the head in saying that they left their relatable Disney vibe to try and match the crazy outgoing nickelodeon vibe, this is why it all looks fake, jokes are bad and the situations are unrealistic - they let go of what they were best at.... and in doing so they lost their magic
Yelp
10-4 good buddy remember keep on trucking and keep the rubber side truck driver
I've noticed that too. They always wanted to beat Nickelodeon so they tried to copy their formula. But eventually Nickelodeon ended copying DC (crazy right?)
Disney Channel always created shows with out of the ordinary situations (ex. So Weird & The Jersey) but they always had that Disney touch to to it that other networks didn't have tbh
There's nothing wrong with having things being unrealistic because it's the core themes and the characters that are supposed to hit us in the heart. In the end, I think it's because they're playing it safe. That's So Raven is unrealistic for many of us, but it was entertaining, it made us laugh, cry, cheer Raven on and I guess those are things considered "relatable", but I think Disney Channel needs to find a balance in their writing.
Nail on the head? You mean coffin?
I'm so blessed that I grew up in the 00's. Disney Channel was POPPIN back then.
That's so Raven, Suite Life, High School Musical, Cheetah Girls, Wizards of Waverly Place, Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, Hannah Montana, Proud Family, Phineas & Ferb, Camp Rock etc. Whew what a time to be alive. It makes me so sad that Disney Channel has greatly fell off over the years thanks to social media & all these streaming services.
I feel bad for the new generation of kids/teens who don't know how great these shows and movies were.
I feel bad for kids today that won’t get to experience the classes games I grew up with like the PS2,Xbox,GameCube
my CHILDHOODDDDD omg reading all those movies and shows made me so nostalgic and sad :c
The only thing I’ll disagree with is when the decline started. I feel like some of the more recent shows like ANT Farm and Liv and Maddie started off really great. And as they progressed past the first season, things started to taper off. I think they were struggling to find shows that would click with audiences and would just drag out the ones that they had that were doing okay until they could find new ones. That unfortunately never happened.
And it’s such a shame that Disney doesn’t put even MORE effort into their animated series. Gravity Falls, Wonder Over Yonder, Star Vs The Forces Of Evil, Amphibia, The Owl House, etc. are all considered some of the best animated shows from the second half of the 2010s and the first half of the 2020s! Disney needs to start focusing more on that imo because they have a lot more leverage there.
I loved Ant Farm, Shake it Up, Lab Rats, That's so Raven & others. I literally couldn't wait till Saturday marathons. But then the shows episodes got truly boring, stupid & annoying. Some also were very similar to other shows on Disney, Nickelodeon & Cartoon Networks. I'm like " why don't they create a very, very, very different & odd shows. " Like a show some ppl would've never thought would be...!! Instead of copycat shows or similar shows. One on their network & other networks..!! Too me, Nickelodeon & Cartoon network has much better shows than Disney.
What the 🌎 happened to Disney XD ?? It like network dissapeared into thin air. You're so correct, Disney animations became blah, lacked creativity & the voicing/music was just straight up annoying. Music is sooooo annoying, to listen too. I feel extra bad for parents who have to listen to songz cuz their kids watch show...!! Disney Channel movies were great but then became lil cheesy & very very predictable...!! Like you already knew what was gonna happen next.
You forget Phineas and Ferb
I feel like somewhere after KC Undercover and Stuck in The Middle began to wrap up everything, the shows that followed just became so uninteresting. The new Bunked is corny and the only show that I had interest in after 2018 was Raven’s Home, and even that show didn’t resonate me for long.
KC Undercover always had me up at night waiting for the next episode, the concept was great and the characters were so memorable. Even the choreography was realistic, and the settings during the final 3 episodes were gorgeous. After that I really had no reason to watch the channel other than to watch Stuck in The Middle.
I feel like the only effort Disney channel does it animation things. I want more sitcoms and original movies because if you go on Disney channel all they play all day is miraculous, amphibia, big city greens, etc. I actually like those shows, I just definitely prefer sitcoms and they aren’t making any of those.
i agree !! some shows in the 2010s started off really good like gmw’s first season was good but then it’s like the second season starts and they lose everything that was already established !
At one point I think Disney just gave up and kinda had the channel on autopilot for years and became less of a priority for them.
I also kinda noticed around 2011-2014 they stopped creating merch items for some of their shows which is pretty odd considering the amount of money Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven and Kim Possible made them.
But you made some good points and actually used some good examples too 👌🏾
That is so true. I stopped seeing merch too after the camp rock merch. Thank you! I really appreciate it 😊
And Hannah Montana as well
Hi nice video can you do a video of Nickelodeon’s then vs now because the channel has changed very much in the animated and live action tv show
@@BeverlyTeresita IDK, didn't shows like Shake it Up, Liv and Maddie, and Jessie get merchandise? I think they did, but u can tell me if I'm wrong.
Damn yeah “autopilot” was a good analogy for it. I am damn near 40, and although I wasn’t into the Disney concept I did like the shows. I was watching Hannah, Wizards, Sonny etc well into my 30s(29) but when I came back to the states from being stationed in Korea cable Tver was getting so stupid. “Reality TV” was everywhere and getting out of hand so I stuck to NetFlix catching up on old shows like Power Rangers, Xena, and Xmen the cartoon. But then they started removing shows and got stupid too so I just stuck to CZcams. And even CZcams is becoming lame.
The good luck Charlie era looking back makes me mad because they had a lot of stars that could’ve been big like Bridget mendler and Ross lynch Sabrina carpenter they could’ve been big if Disney took them seriously
they really could’ve gone somewhere and became better artists, sabrina music isn’t bad. bridget just quit music and ross isn’t releasing music as much anymore, though he’s the most successful out of the 3
Yes and the same thing with Dove Cameron or even China Ann McClain
@@symoneperry9774 so much potential being wasted ...The only 3rd generation Disney star who got big from "Bridget Mendler to Dove Cameron is Zendaya. She's as big as (or close) the first & 2nd generation Disney Stars like Hilary Duff, Raven, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato etc...thanks to Zendeya's highly successful big budget movie (i mean Spiderman franchise lol) role in MCU. also her success of tv series Euphoria elevated her to mainstream status globally.
@@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos yes, Zendaya has so much talent and I’m glad that she’s getting the hype she deserves. But literally after that cross over from 2010 it’s like we had so many people with crazy talents but they didn’t get the hype they deserved. As much as I love the 2000s Disney talent, people need to stop thinking that was the only era of talent just because that was the era they grew up in. Like so many after 2010 could’ve became worldwide pop stars or whatever they wanted to do but it’s been wasted or not recognized. Even Kylie Cantrell with the new generation of Disney, she’s crazy talented and I wish she was platformed more. Like her songs like. “Feeling some kinda way” or “No reason” are so good and don’t get enough hype.
@@omarxperez no she didn't she's just acting in a lot of stuff right now
The last Disney sitcoms that I really loved are Liv and Maddie and K.C. Undercover. After that, I just waited for the final Descendants installment and I was finished with Disney Channel. We also stopped using cable too so that contributed to my lack of knowledge about Disney sitcoms these days
K.C undercover was my top #1 show. Plus Zendaya basically took over that show. She told them " she's not gonna do the show cuz of lack of diversity, main character name & other things. Fact: Show was really actually supposed to be called " Katie Undercover show " but Zendaya said "she didn't feel like a Katie. Demand it be changed to K.C or she wouldn't do it.
@@dashiajames1882 yeah they was going to make everyone either white or light skin if zendaya hadn't say anything.
They really ruined Descendants with the third one
I agree those were the last 2 shows that were good and I'm 27 and enjoy teen shows everything after that is so lackluster and feel descendants was the only good thing left that the Disney Channel gave their efforts too. Then you compare it to the tween/teen shows disney plus is fleshing out and it has that old disney feel. Its great quality,better actors and no forced laugh tracks you can def feel the money and effort disney plus is putting into their content
Same
I’m so glad that you broke down why Disney Channel is decreasing in quality instead of shaking your fist at the newer generation of kids. They can’t really help that they were born into a different time than we were, nor can they help the fact that the management at Disney mishandled their shows for the better part of a decade.
I’ll always have fond memories of watching Disney Channel shows from 2006-11. We Gen Zers are definitely going through a nostalgic phase right now. I’m also glad I’m not the only one who saw that dip in quality!
One thing I noticed was that they seemed to stop wanting to cast super young actors as the stars. They used to have a formula: Hire a 13 year old, do heaps of seasons as they grow up, then rinse and repeat once the inevitable 'child star struggles with growing up in the spotlight' controversies set in.
It seems like they switched to actors in their late teens to avoid this (plus once they reach 18 they don't have to deal with child acting restrictions), but then you end up with 20 year old stars wanting to be able to act their age and move on with their careers so you only get a small number of seasons and a star that the audience can't really connect with outside of the show.
You get Riverdale.
I feel like the only thing that’s really keeping the Disney channel alive now is the big animation shows, such as the owl house and amphibia, but mostly due to how they’re forced to be released on cable first and not on streaming services until later. Other than animated shows, I just can’t think of anything good that the channel has put out in the last few years
The last few years I loved Sydney to the Max, Raven’s Home, Austin and Ally, Stuck in the Middle, and Liv and Maddie. I thought those were really good
@@ramonamilawaterfall3361 yeah all of these are good. Andi Mack was great too. I'll give up on it altogether once Sydney ends
@@skinni_the_P00hBear Same, my fingers are crossed it won’t and we see Sydney graduate from High School and college
@@ramonamilawaterfall3361 Ikr! high school at least lol
@@skinni_the_P00hBear At least! I hope so cause Disney Channel has a history of canceling things after 4 season except for Bunkd
I preferred Nickelodeon shows, my favorite from that era is Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. The subject matter was all pretty realistic, it was way less hokey than most Disney shows and it gave the viewers some credit and would have some rather funny jokes.
I agree with the 'bad improv class" vibes... newer disney shows feel less like genuine shows with plots and more like some sort of abstract theatrical performance with laugh tracks
Even though I wasn't a target audience during the 00s (I was too old), I know a good Disney sitcom when I see one. While baby-sitting my 9 year old niece this summer, I introduced her to Lizzie McGuire and she loved it after the first episode.
My sister and I have to force our 8 year old cousin to watch the stuff we grew up with and the good Disney movies. At least he sat down for a few of them, lol.
Best Disney Channel Sitcoms: Suite Life, Wizards of Waverly Place, ANT Farm, and Jessie. Best Cartoons: Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls, and Big City Greens.
@@icecreamhero2375 eh... imo, ANT Farm, and Jessie were ok. And Gravity Falls and whatever Big City Greens is 😶 Both Suite Life's, Hannah Montana, Corey in The House and other shows like that were the best sitcoms. For cartoons, it would have to be Kim Possible, Phineas and Ferb, Jake Long, Dave the Barbarian and The Proud Family were the best animations, hands down!
@@melaninqueen2413 Disney channel died in 2005 for me.
90s and early 00s Disney channel is where it’s at
Smart guy
Lizzie McGuire
Sister sister
Jet Jackson
Brink
Smart house
Zoog Disney
That’s so Raven
Cheetah girls
Phil of the future
Even Stevens
Many more
Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana is when it stared to become too white to me with annoying characters
Also main reason why Disney sucks now is because we’re all adults...same reasons why new nick jr shows suck because it isn’t for us anymore.
@@keeferkifflom360 for me, it was officially dead after 2009 😆
I feel so lucky to have just made it into the Disney good years. Born in 99 so I got to catch the reruns of the classics and got to see some really good shows while they aired. Sadly also got to see it burn and die.
I was born in 98’ we truly lived thru the best times I believe 🥺🤍
2001 baby here 👋🏼. My brother was born in 2008 and I watched him slowly grow out of Disney and now all he watches are mature shows like Supernatural, Black Lightning. He also loves On My Block and Stranger Things which are all on Netflix. He watched the first two seasons of Ravens Home but after 2018 he just zoned out and hasn’t looked back since cause it got boring.
oh my gosh that is my exact experience. It all happened so freakin fast too. I really wish I had appreciated it more then. I think that's what gets me the most seeing it burn and die :(
@@reannagordon I can relate to your brother , I was born in 2006 Disney just gets boring and you watch Netflix and a lot of youtube
Also born in 99. It's so sad to look back on what we had and what they air today. I miss those times!
Sad part is it's not just Disney. I believe other networks just don't care to put out amazing content, and that goes for the music industry as well. Its sad
Thought I was the only one who thought tht abt the music industry
True CN had great shows and now it’s garbage
And don’t get me started with NICK.
Nick literally is milking the whole ocean out of SpongeBob show , the creator of SpongeBob (which he passed away ) wanted to ended it a really long time ago and for nick to keep creating movies and more stuff out of SpongeBob is truly disrespectful is like they should let it go already, is for the best for SpongeBob legacy and it’s time for them get creative and give chances to other shows
Another thing I noticed decline and eventually disappear was the Disney channel feeling. It's hard to describe, but its essentially just a feeling that the show fits on Disney channel. All the shows had it, even the worse ones. You could always picture it without it feeling too out of place. It started feeling more and more out of place as years went on but it didn't really disappear until about mid 2017. All the shows, from suite life of Zack and Cody, to Austin and Ally, to Any Farm, to Good Luck Charlie, heck even to Stuck in the Middle, and Best friends whenever. Even the Disney XD shows had a similar feeling like Kick'n it, Lab Rats, and Wonder Over Yonder. You could just picture the show in the tagline "_______ is coming up next on Disney Channel" and then the jingle (the original, not the new techno sounding version) and it just feels right!
Talking about the age compression phenomenon, it really irritates me that they wouldn’t let the Lizzie McGuire sequel show do more mature themes.
True, I never watched Lizzie, but entertainment in general needs a shift considering how everyone’s growing differently now, kids and adults
At first, I was pissed off that they canceled it for such stupidly shallow reasons considering that nearly everyone was on board with it and then I thought about how its so rare now that reboots pay respect to what originally came before it (they had to reboot Ghostbusters AGAIN) so I'm like, "O.K. I see why it wouldn't fit in."
@@eatatjoes6751 Yeah but Disney wanted another Raven's Home but with Lizzie, and do you see that fitting in with her character? I don't, at least not the way they turned main characters into generic parents in Raven's Home and Girl Meets World. Disney Channel got really bad at making spin-off concepts lately.
Disney gets petty and spiteful when they don’t get their way.
Hilary Duff wouldn’t accept being treated like a teenager anymore. Why should she? She’s a thirtysomething wife and mother, coming off a seven-year-run on Younger. She’s not in between multiple jobs (Raven) or living in the attic above the dinner theatre (Anneliese Van der Pol). Shes got options, and she stood up to them.
So if they couldn’t have the show, then nobody could. The Mouse is a spiteful bastard.
@@arcyarcanine I definitely don't see it now - plus, who the hell asked for Raven's Home to exist? It's like the Office where the actors who didn't launch themselves into fame like the below mentioned Anneliese van der Pol sell bootleg merchandise to get by because livin' in a bowling alley doesn't pay the bills so the network has to drag out *RAVEN'S SOOOOOOON HAS POWERS TOO?! WHACKY SHENANIGANS!!!* for four goddamn seasons so she'll get a lifetime contract.
Disney nostalgia is like medicine. It literally makes my eyes water to go back to those memories. I remember when it was Friday evening and school would be done for the week. Eating dinner and hearing the TV go "A DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE". The epitome of my glorious childhood 😌🙏🏻
Thats so raven
The proud family
Kim possible
Lizzie Mcguire
Hannah Montana
Cheetah girls
High school musical
Halloween town
Twitches
All the Disney princess movies
My top 10!
I was born in 2000 so honestly I consider myself blessed to have been able to experience waiting 2 weeks for a new episode of Kim possible or wait a whole year to watch Halloweentown. I also loved it when Disney would use their stars in different shows as different characters and we would all be like "OMG ISN'T THAT VANESSA HUDGENS"- When both her and Taylor McKesson appeared on sweet life of Zach and Cody. And the crossover episodes where always something to hype yourself up for. kinda looses its flare when all I have to do now is just get on Disney plus and I'm two clicks away from watching the proud family. I still do it though!🤣
omg yes so true I remember being like "ashley tisdale from suite life is in this movie"
I remember being so little I couldn't grasp when actors changed roles and was like "wtf why are they here???"
@Chrisauntae Ahhhh..... yes the memories. 😊 After what they did in the last movie to the actors and the audience (2012) I stopped giving them my money and attention. You seem like an awesome person, save your money, energy and the good memories. I would not recommend anyone to watch and spend time on them. Life is too short and we have YT - you can find some of the shows for free.
I remember the Disney channel games like it was yesterday.
Yess omg I was born in 2001 and I remember That’s So Raven would come on every Sunday during the evening and I would make my mom rush home from church so I could watch it 😂😂and trying to do things during the commercials like using the bathroom or grabbing a snack lol kids definitely don’t know what this feels like and it’s kinda sad lol
Disney stopped but the memories we had with it is unforgettable, I can't imagine my childhood without disney. Every time when I used to remember my past childhood life most of it is full of disney. I can't forget Hannah Montana , Wizard of waverly places , Mackey mouse ,disney cars, winning the pooh ,Bambi kickinit and so on.. . I regret why I growup and why those days left behind in my life.
Early 2000’s Disney will never be forgotten forever in my heart 🤍🥺

Like the top comment said, kids are already forced to grow so fast today thanks to the rise of social media. Shows like Disney is too childish and cheesy for them sometimes. Children are starting to prefer mature content as children, which another issue on its own.
Yes that's a great take! I feel like kids nowadays go right from kids to teens very fast, and don't have that awkward preteen phase anymore. Hariyanna hook has a good video in this kind of theme, about how the girls clothing store justice kind of died because of things like this
Not true im 13 and i force myself to act dumb and childish and i love what most kids these days think is too kiddy

Its because they want to watch teen dramas disney channel is too childish and inonnest they are teenagers now they don't have to watch shitting tv
I actually got into disney channel when I was 4 when the proud family premiered. I'm 23 now. I watched it up until mid 2009. I miss it in their older years.

@@abigaildoke8294 it was the bomb!
I never watched it as a kid but it’s on Disney+ and I basically binged it- I wish they made more episodes!
Disney Channel back in the day had such a magical and cheerful vibe. A couple of my fondest memories include watching the premiere of Wizards of Waverly Place, and staying up late certain nights to catch Kim Possible. Oh yeah and can't forget all the cool DCOMs. High School Musical, Camp Rock. It was always a great mix of the old and new, all the time. And I would always get excited whenever the Jonas Brothers came on. Good times.
As someone who grew up on Boy Meets World, I really tried to enjoy Girl Meets World. I truly did. It was just impossible not to cringe at the stupid shit.
Every thing about girl meets world was cringe and confusing…absolutely nothing like boy meets world. Like she said in the video…the only good parts about girl meets world was old characters returning…same thing with fuller house
When I graduated high school (2011) the quality went down, save for Lemonade Mouth, Good Luck, Charlie and Ant Farm. I have to remind myself it’s for the kids. The only things that piqued my interest is Descendants and Zombies, thanks to my daughter. Big City Greens I like watching because I feel like the writers are making fun of hipsters and the Seattle scene.
Yeah when descendants came out in 2015 I was 13 so yeah i was interested. By the time the 3rd one came out in 2019 I was 17 waaay to old for Disney but I obviously had to see how the franchise ends even though the 3rd one wasn’t as good as the previous 2.
Also I really liked the first season of Andi Mack. It was Disney taking a risk and producing a more “mature show” without the awful laugh tracks
What about pair of kings, Zack and Luthor

Early 2000s more like
As a millenial and from my experience, I can tell that Disney started to slide around 2007/2008 when shows like That's So Raven were coming to an end. This as well as shows before like Even Stevens and Lizzie Mcguire really had that strong energy, where they touched upon serious and life issues that people my age could relate to, then once they started to get to shows like Hannah Montana and Suite Life, those "serious issues" were done and DC started going more into a direction of silly nonsense.
Same! 2008 is when I noticed Disney Channel started to die out and Raven was being canceled.
2007 was when DC truly entered its descent into being a channel primarily focused on teeny-boppy sitcoms. I would however say that a bit of the old DC Magic prior was still there until about late 2008. After TSLOZAC ended, things weren’t the same IMO.
@@isaiahhill2104 I wonder if it's also because of the financial recession around that time that DC started to slide.

@@Chillchildren999 It was to be honest thats why I tuned into Disney XD live action instead
Agreed! We just watched the entire series with my kids and It totally held up too.
It was also the most realistic show. No wizards or pop stars. Just an average American family
Simple: nothing could ever replicate the success of Suite Life, Wizards, and Hannah Montana.
Also, children just don't watch TV anymore, because why wait for your favorite show to air on TV when you could just watch it on a streaming services at whatever time you see fit?
realizing this makes me miss my 2000s childhood so fucking much :c
U left out That's So Raven
Yeah , but I feel like that was the fun of it . The expectation of the next episode. But they still do that for competiton shows .
It’s literally just age and nostalgia. I was born in 2004 and my fav shows on Disney are things like suite life on deck, good luck Charlie, girl meets world, because that’s what I grew up with
As someone who missed out on a lot of these shows because I didn't have cable, I will disagree. I've not seen some of those shows until my late teens and I also went to watch the newer Disney channels shows. I can tell the older ones are better quality. Maybe modern Disney shows I don't hate are Andi Mack and HSMTMTS
@@krayozmines ain't no fking way 😂. Andy Mac cannot compare to good luck Charlie in any dimension. Btw these shows aren't really new. Good luck Charlie premiered like 9yrs ago almost 10. But it was after the iconic Era of Hanna Montana. I watched both eras personally, and yes the older one is unbeaten no debate. But they were still a few good ones after that (before 2016). After 2016 everything is actually dogshite. In fact I hvnt even watched most of them so I can't rlly have an opinion, but then again bunked was so horrible I wouldn't even want to watch them just to proofcheck their quality.

You made some really great points! I remember the quality of Disney shows going down right about the time I was aging out of it... It does seem that Disney is now focused on expanding their reach by acquiring other "brands" if you will. Interesting video!
Yeah that is so true! Thank you for watching! 😊
Or you just aged out. I think this is the thing about nostalgia. We tend the remember things were better than they were because we “got” them as their target audience.
So sad this happened to Disney, the nostalgia I had watching this video. at least we had our good memories. It was so interesting on your intake
very good video. i always knew/felt in my heart that Disney (and Nick) just does NOT make shows like they used to. i think you made some really good points. gosh, we were born at the perfect time.
It feels like the 90s and early 2000s was literally the BEST time to be a kid, it feels like those two decades were built for children
@@bobsburgers8497 exactly. And I'm someone that likes some early 2010s stuff, but it never felt the same.
@Justin Stewart phineas and ferb and gravity falls are pretty old shows. But they are also cartoons which are in a category of their own tbh
So I was looking up DCOMs recently. I remember as a kid how Disney Channel would have this like summer DCOM thing where they would show a new DCOM once a month in June, July and August. And usually the best one was saved for August. It was a huge thing and it was all my friends could talk about during summer break. You know when they stopped doing that? 2007, after The Cheetah Girls 2. So for me, that's when Disney really started to decline.
We can thank High School Musical (2006) for that. Disney noticed it hit a near perfect formula for both high viewership and selling merch and tried to replicate it year after year. Soon after that, DCOMs became less relatable and more like over-produced commercials. There were some good DCOMs here and there but it was clear they were relying too much on focus groups or something like every other company.
@@Zanoab THIS!!! People keep stating a bunch of other reasons, but to me and some others it's pretty obvious that Disney Channel is just trying to recapture HSM, Camp Rock and Hannah Montana. It's literally getting in the way of their own success.
@@Zanoab I still like High School Musical, but I agree that its success changed a lot for the network. That being said if u think about HSM just as a movie on its own, it still has some elements of the style of DCOMS that came before it, mainly the earnest moments between characters and solid acting. Yes a lot of merchandise and sales came out of its success but while they were making it, their expectations were extremely low and while it premiered in January 2006, it was filmed in late 2005. Then with the movies that came after it, they pushed for even more merchandise, flashy aesthetics and pop star thrills, and making blown out musicals
For the record, my parents loved Good Luck Charlie when I used to watch it, it was surprisingly funny and well written
Same 😂
I agree with the younger actors part. Even though its arguable teen characters were sometimes controversial, Alex Russo, for example taught me what -not- to do and also taught me how it important it was to be myself regardless of how people treat me. She taught me things I didn’t even know I knew until I got older and experienced similar things.
I loved the shows until Liv and Maddie (for some reason I couldn't get into it and wondered why people liked it). I also loved shake it up and girl meets world. I also really loved Sonny With a Chance. I thought that show had a really great concept and had a lot of promise with how different it was. After I think around 2015 I just kind of stopped watching Disney channel and just went over to watching Disney xd mostly Lab Rats and Mighty Med. I loved those shows but than that crossover show happened which I thought was really terrible and disappointing. It could have been really great but they messed it up with just "training" and doing random stuff then the last episode happened and it was actually a good idea (except for the fact they made Bree way to overpowered!).
Girls Meets World was so disappointing :(
@@mm4843 It wasn’t that bad until the last season when they didn’t really let the story and characters grow the way they should have.
@@mm4843 Not really. It was a really good show. The problem is Disney underinvest in shows, and pull the plug far too quickly.
It could have been one of the best things of the last decade, but instead it limited itself by not seeing the characters through like Boy Meets World did.
@@infinitygames9317 I think the issue was that GMW was on DC. They couldn't do the plots like they did on BMW when they entered highschool. That's where it really suffered. GMW has a special place in my heart I wish it could have gone to another channel and continued

The sequel to it (Raven’s Home) was good too
I’m from England, and even though I no longer watch the Disney channel. when I found out the channel was no longer going to be there it was like the end of an era..
i love a lot of the shows from 2011-2016/2017 which is probably because i’m on the younger side of the disney channel “generation” but i think what disney tried to do was lean into a more fantasy driven world of what kids wanted more than what they could relate to
Ah, I didn’t even notice that! That’s so true
Your probably right
Ok since u're on the younger side, I have a bit of info I wanna know ur thoughts on. Now IDK if u know this already but out of every live-action Disney Channel show that came out during the 2010s decade, Good Luck Charlie was the ONLY one to get its own movie. How do u feel about that, do u find that surprising or no?
I believe that the reason why Disney Channel going downhill is because now Disney is owned both MCU and Star Wars aka two biggest money making machines in Hollywood, so why Disney have to give an effort to the "made for TV stuff" because Disney right now can make billions dollars from doing nothing (before the Covid pandemic) and now there's an existence of Disney Plus, which means that Disney is now one step closer to put the final nail to the Disney Channel's coffin.
It's hard to believe that we're live in the time where Disney care nothing but MCU and Star Wars stuff and I don't want younger generation of childrens to know and remembered that "this is Disney"
In the end, I really miss the good old Disney from my childhood, the magical kingdom that once gave an effort to their products unlike current Disney which sells their soul for money that made by Marvel and Star Wars. (I have nothing against MCU or Star Wars whatsoever)
My prime Disney, as a 16-year-old in 2021 was Good Luck Charlie, Jessie, Austin, and Ally were the big three. I think the prime ran out was after these three ended and were replaced by Bunkd, and Bizzardvark tried to steal the show. Disney Channel prime also ended after they stopped the Halloween/Christmas specials.
I feel bad for current shows like The Owl House since few kids really watch disney channel anymore this show which actually has so much thought behind it and great representation, an all around amazing cartoon isn't even getting a full third season. I hope that when disney goes full streaming this show can continue
what’s the best friends name in good luck Charlie?? She’s iconic, one of my favourite quotes of all time 😂😂😂 “as William Shakespeare once said

I CRACKED UP WITH THIS SCENE
Ivy:)
YEAH THATS LITERALLY ONE OF THE ONLY LINES THAT STUCK WITH ME THROUGH THE YEARS it was so iconic
actually the laugh track isn't a track. these shows are usually filmed in front of a live audience and call the filming "taping". there's many videos from the girl meets world taping for example.

Funny thing is... while Disney Channel in the USA was going down hill, Disney Channel Latin America was putting out extremely popular shows like Violetta (2012-2015, 240 episodes) and Soy Luna (2016-2018, 220 episodes). These shows were so popular that they had concert tours and even a movie (for Violetta), the only Disney shows from the USA that did the same thing were Hannah Montana and Lizzie McGuire (I think).
I think what made them so popular in the first place is that they were extremely different from American shows. They didn’t have laugh tracks and unfunny jokes, the storylines were more mature (with real life issues and subject like loss, grieving and adoption), and the characters were relatable and lovable.
Change my mind Andi Mack was a revolutionary show for Disney channel so I'd say Disney channel was in it's prime 2000-2017 obviously cutting out best friends whenever, girl meets world, Ravens Home , and Bunkd
Only the old Disney Channel shows have stopped airing! Please, NO! NOO! NOOO! NOOOO!!!!
It's sad nobody watched Andi mack and missed out on how good it is just because disney channel declined in quality
Andi mac was trying to hard to appeal to teens when ot was on a small child's network.
@@waffle7358 Wtf do you mean small children's network this isnt Disney Junior
@@waffle7358 really? Disney is for everyone
I have noticed Disney seems to be aiming at trying to attract teens and young adults more than kids these days. Especially since they are the ones with the money and the means to purchase merchandise by the bucketloads for their "Disney collections". Disney is practically piggy-back riding on popular properties such as "Star Wars" and Marvel, (making a Star Wars attraction that costs $6,000 for two nights) and their original movies aren't even that original anymore. Like "Moana", "Frozen 2", and "Raya and the Last Dragon" all had a story plot that went like: "Protagonist's home is being threatened by some natural force and needs to find an object that can help save her home." I can understand how they would feel hopeless though. Society is changing like a landslide, and the entertainment competition keeps piling on for the attention of the younger generations, as well as the older ones.
I think that Good Luck Charlie is an EXTREMELY underrated show
I started watching Disney channel when I was little my favourite shows were Kim Possible, Hannah Montana and wizards of Waverley place and I stopped watching it in 2012 after wizards of Waverley place ended I was in my teens and the shows didn’t appeal to me anymore and most of the new shows were terrible and I’m not surprised that Disney channel died and shut down because of Disney plus and the internet
Not just Disney but also the other channels like nickelodeon… the TV era has ended and its sad because future generations wont have that special connection to a tv series because a-lot of stuff out their now is mediocre and doesn’t really connect to its audience
How about they read a book or go outside...
I think the owl house and amphibia are successful and have online fandoms so I hope the Disney channel looks at the success of these cool animated shows and makes more fantasy shows with interesting storylines and cute characters
Miraculous ladybug too
The saddest part is how true this intro is. My 11 year old will tell me about the good old days, tell me he feels nostalgic over old games he used to play when he was younger and lament how fast things change. He is freaking ELEVEN!!!!!
I saw the decline start with That So Raven. While Lizzie McGuire may have started the formula, Raven was the one that started the very sitcom-y feeling, with its laugh track, obvious sets on a sound stage, not filming from opposing angles and whatnot. Most shows since then have followed this pattern.
Yeah but Raven's not to blame
Thats so Raven was a groundbreaking show for the network tho
@les fede exactly Raven played a pivotal role in shaping the future of Disney Channel. The initial statement that said that the channel declined once That's so Raven started is kind of crazy to me lol when in reality her show set the bar for future Disney Channel content. The shows and writing just got really bad as time passed.
@@phillinsogood Yeah but Phil of the Future came a year after it was well received so it would Hannah Montana because every show after that had exaggerated cringey humor copying it
What a great video, what I loved the most was the intro "things don't stay the same" the channel arrived here in 00 and I started watching it in 04 so that makes 18 years of being a fan.
I've seen everything, the golden era was my time, Hannah and Raven are my life and everything and made me who I am today, and I'm sad that kids nowadays won't be able to feel like this, feel that you had the best childhood with your series and DCOMs, it's sad, and also, Disney Channel should just rely on reruns of their golden era.... In my country they did something last year and they aired tons of series and it was trending topic for 2 days! Now they are reruning hannah and Raven 2 times per week and brandy and mister whiskers and suite life on deck 5 times per week and they are the most watched series they just need to bring us back and they will succeed, all these years and we aren't bored of our stuff, why would we get bored now?
i grew up with early 2010s shows such as ant farm, shake it up, and austin and ally. after those ended it started going downhill. honestly i dont think girl meets world , kc undercover, and liv and maddie were THAT bad, they were for sure still watchable. nothing compares to 2000s- early 2010s tho
Thinking that a television show is "mocking your intelligence" is an inherently unintelligent thought.
It's crazy because as a 90s kid I vividly remember watching this whole timeline take place. Disney channel was up-there in the Big 3 in terms of kids entertainment. There was always something good to watch.
As years went by the quality took a nosedive and everything... sucked. Not many ways to put it. Lol It's a shame because Disney as a company is still going down that downhill slope.
As a channel-surfing kid in 1996, I remember this entire timeline too and thinking Hannah Montana was the beginning of that downward spiral.
@@eatatjoes6751 same here. Hannah montana wasn't good and marked the beginning of the end.
@@candiigurl7893 lol just because u were too old doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. Hannah Montana was more successful than every other Disney show before it and shows continued doing well for years after

Old Disney shows give me a warm cozy feeling, the nostalgia, the crushes I had on characters, the personalities I picked up, the outfits I wore, waiting each week for a new episode, even the food tasted better, monstober with a McDonald’s special happy meal bucket, everything now is synthetic, reused, overdone, and toxic. I miss the old days 😭
13:28 I agree with the younger actors thing I mean it’s like their casting kids who don’t even have all their teeth yet. I feel like the old Disney had teen that had like a more mature feel to them witch makes all the difference
100%. Miley Cyrus was only 11 when she recorded the Hannah Montana pilot, and was 12 for the rest of Season 1. Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana was canonically 14, but Miley was just especially talented for her age. I think it's much better to hire a 17/18 year old to play a 14/15 year old (so long as they look the part), rather than a 12 year old who acts without skill. The reason they "hire young" is so they get as many years of convincing acting from the kids as possible. A 12 year old can play a 14 year old consistently until they're around 16-17 and they'll still be recognizable and relatable to a young audience. But will kids want to watch for that long, if the 12 year old isn't a talented actor? If there's no chemistry? This is why Disney Channel is dying.
@@roisinnigcrainn7722 Hilary Duff was 15/16 around season 2 playing a middle school kid in Lizzie McGuire Raven was also older then her character Ashley Tisdale who play Maddie on Suite Life and Sharpay in HSM was in her 20/21 playing a high school kid and when they did hire young as the lead roles it just felt mature like Miley was clearly young in the pilot but throughout the season it just worked.
And let’s not forget zack and cody
@@roisinnigcrainn7722 ehhh i don’t think no kid is gonna complain about people’s acting
@@lundunmoon In Season 2 Hilary duff was 14. The show filmed their last episode in 2002 before she was 15
I feel like the only show that escaped was HSMTMTS, it followed the old formula but tried new things, was mature-ish and it was successful-ish. Andi Mac tried this but failed because it focused to much on a formula while trying to be mature AND for kids at the same time.
You brought up a bunch of really great points. Good video.
I'm glad ,youre talking about this topic ,i think its really sad that disney changed ,and its true that nowadays it's unwatchable

This is just sad. I remember the feeling when there was a new Disney movie, and the sound of the castle showing.
I remember back in the day when kids wanted mutant ninja turtles and power rangers.....
I'm 21. Still obsessed with Power Rangers 🤣🤣
Idk if this is satire, but stereotypical old person much?
What kids have u been around lol im still dressing up for Halloween at 15. Kids still are kids remember that.
That’s interesting about Good Luck Charlie. That was actually a very well-written show for Disney and was the only show my husband and I watched from beginning to end when it was on Netflix. But I agree that pretty much everything else on Disney Channel at the time was hot garbage lol. Wizards of Waverly Place seemed like the last good show as it was airing, and that was around the time that the channel went downhill. I was in college during the WoWP/Hanna Montana/HSM years, and it wasn’t just me growing up, the vast majority of their shows were just not that good and it seemed like all they were doing was trying to pump out manufactured “triple threats” that usually couldn’t sing very well but were passible with the growing trend of heavy autotuning. The heart was gone. The scripts were poor. And the actors were just not good. We TRIED to sit through Girl Meets World as BMW was our whole childhood, but at the end of every episode all we could do was discuss how it could have been so much better if they were appealing to a target audience that was more realistic, rather than dumbing down the show to elementary school kids. The entire premise was life from the perspective of a growing middle-high schooler, they missed the boat on that so hard.
You broke this down really well 👏🏾👏🏾
I thought it was just because I was getting older and outgrew it but I realized my parents enjoyed watching old Disney with me.
Nah, you are good. Disney Channel just kinda died off. It was competing with Cartoon Network and Nick's content.
Girl meets world would’ve been so good on paramount+
I try to take Cait Loves Disney's opinion in consideration that Disney Channel hasn't changed, the target audience has. And The Hugh Guy's opinion that the shows we love aren't that much better than today's shows. On one hand, I half agree with Cait that to some extent, Disney Channel hasn't changed. There's always going to be terrible shows and great shows running at the same time. I can't judge their current sitcoms cuz I haven't watched them except Raven's Home and Sydney to the Max. Sydney to the Max is better as it's more consistent with its' quality while Raven's Home has been hot and cold with their quality throughout the second and third seasons. For what it's worth, their current fourth season so far is solid. Not great, solid. And I half agree with Hugh that to some extent the channel's shows in the past wasn't that much better. The channel has ALWAYS had cringey moments even during their golden age. And it doesn't help knowing how cheap the channel has always been with their budgets despite being a faction of a multi million dollar company. For example, Secrets of Sulphur Springs is the channel's best current live action show overall and the first original drama in years! I love the characters, the atmosphere, the twists! And then I found that this show was made for Disney+, which obviously has a higher budget. Disney Channel will probably never be as successful as they were in the 2000s and all these problems they brought on themselves are the reasons why not even kids take them seriously anymore.
Edit: by the way, screw Disney for giving their worst show 5 seasons despite their ridiculously strict four season limit while cancelling their best shows under just three or less.
I feel like if shows were better it would simply attract more kids. Yes the kids of today are changing, but most channels and their spark died off around 2011-2013. I wouldn’t blame kids of today for not wanting to watch cable. A lot of shows these networks are coming out with are remakes just bad remakes: Ravens Home, Total DramaRama etc… I’m not saying all of these shows being produced now are bad. But they are lacking luster, and I do blame networks for this.
I think it’s just that creators don’t come up with the same concepts that keep people engaged anymore. I rewatched Wizards of Waverly Place and a bunch of other shows, and they were still entertaining even though I am now in my twenties. There was also something interesting, like wizards lining in NYC and their interactions with both the wizarding and real world, or a regular girl who is secretly a pop star and lives a wacky life when she’s not being glam and doing shows, twins living in a hotel and causing mischief. I feel like once they ran out of those concepts, even the writers couldn’t come up with anything convincing. They rely on cheesy pop-culture references and quirky cheap bits for laughs nowadays. And as the video said, they try to implement this weird comedy that isn’t believable into these shows which supposedly happen in real life.
To an extent I agree, but I have seen way too many times people revisiting old media and literally LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF. Sometimes I see that for newer stuff but with old stuff, those videos become viral because the jokes were surprisingly great, but of course we were too young to understand a lot of them.
Raven home is super white washed. It's corny as hell.
Also coupled with the fact that kids don't really have cable, and when they do, they don't have much time to sit through commercials, wait for their show to come on for an episode or two... Why go through the hassle of waiting and all that when you could binge with the click of a button?
This is so true. I've noticed this ever since the early 2010s. The quality went down a lot as the years went on. And Mack and Stuck In The Middle were actually good, though.
One thing I loved about old Disney channel shows is they slowly grew with the audience, each season was like a new age and the things that happened in the show would be different than the season before. Newer Disney channel shows could be going for 7 season and the character where 16 in the first season with a 16 year old actor and in the 7th season the character is only 18(you do the math) while the actor is 23.
Amphibia and The Owl House (recent shows past 3 years)
Are amazing
And Ladybug
Andi Mack should have come out right after Jessie ended. But I feel like they waited too long and suffered for it. The only “reruns” they have now, are Jessie, Phiness & Ferb, and a few others. With reruns like that, it makes cringe when I rewatch these shows, and makes me cry because it’s not like how it was. Nostalgia is both a blessing and a curse. I feel like these kids are coming out of the womb with smartphones, and the instant gratification isn’t healthy. There’s no more “event television” anymore and I feel like Disney Channel had some of the last kind.
Andi Mack and Sydney to the Max should have come out when Slice of Life was still a popular genre and Disney was all into that shit instead of trying to launch The Next Big Star because now it's just weird to see them, like someone froze something from the 90s and dragged its cryogenic corpse onto modern TV.
It's like the Lizzie McGuire reboot. Yeah, Disney and literally everyone wanted it, including me at one point, but then I stopped and thought about how that would realistically play out - sure, a thirty something Lizzie sounds good on paper, and God I would love to see Animated Lizzie upgraded from bellbottoms, a crop top and large shoes - but would it take a more Rocko's Modern Life approach to the original or hacksaw it like they did with Masters of the Universe?
@James Tamburo it got canceled it was corny anyway
@blue chimera Neat.
Aye girl! Loved this video but was so sad to realize! RIP Disney!
That’s exactly what I hate about The Disney Channel. Most kids liked Disney way too much that a lot of them forgot who Bugs Bunny even was😨
I feel like it’s with the times. The internet took over ppls influence and stuff like people stopped watching regular or cable tv so people don’t value tv channels or tv period as we used to. People just turned there attention to over stuff and kids today are being brought up differently times were just better back then. I miss it and I took it for granted 😔🥲
Beverly: Old Disney Channel shows used to be great!
Me: YESS! I missed The Jersey and So Weird. Disney really went down hill after Lizzie...
Beverly: Disney stared its decline with Dog with a Blog.
Me: .... well guess I'm old.
I was a little too young to appreciate Jett Jackson, Lizzie and So Weird but I remember those shows vividly and the whole Zoog Disney stuff of the early 2000's and late 90s. I was born in late 1992, and my parents bought DirectTV. So I was able to catch the end tail of those shows before it was ending. But I was mainly watching Toon Disney from 1999 to 2002. When they had Darkwing Duck, Sonic, Talespin, Chip N Dale and such.
This is my issue with CN. Everything after Summer Camp Island went bad.
From someone who lived thru their early preteen years + teen years with disney channel shows that my siblings and I still remember the gags as inside joeks and laugh together, Im so glad for disney+ adding more old classic disney channel shows for me to just marathon watch after my work days :')
26 year old here and I love watching good old Disney Channel shows.
