Too Much Bubble Gum Pop on Disney Channel
My children greatly enjoy the Disney Channel. I would love to sit and occasionally share some Disney TV time with them, but I can't. (Grumpy Old Man Mode) Disney has packed so much cutesy, bubble gum pop star, fluff minded programming in their program line up that it is a rare occasion when I can stand to be in the same room. Raven, Zack and Cody, Hannah Montana, etc. it's all the same saccharine content with different faces.
Please for the love of all that is Holy, please don't create another program starring a hand crafted cutesy 'Disney property' pop star.:ack: I would dearly love to have programming like the Wonderful World of Color I enjoyed each Sunday night as a child with my parents.:mickey:
The Disney Corporation knows that families enjoy to share together. It's blatantly obvious since their theme parks are the ultimate family sharing experience. What they don't seem to get is that families want to share Disney time at home as well. I'm just not seeing this on any Disney channel. They do two things very well. First they cater to the preschoolers with Handy Manny, Little Einsteins etc. Next they ooze programming for the Post K to 7th grade market.
What's missing, adult age group content. Nickelodeon gets it! In the evening hours they shift to more adult oriented content. Honestly, why do you need to program like 'The Sweet Life of Zack and Cody' at 10:00pm on a School Night. This is just an Example. I don't actually know if this program is on at this time, but I can assure you that it's something very similar.
By now you are thinking one of two things either this guy is a dinosaur or this guy it right on. Either way I would love to hear your opinion.
Thanks.
