Washups of Waverly Place

This season of Wizards of Waverly Place has been alright… but a little weak. Sure, it’s only been 2 or 3 episodes, but with a huge fake cliffhanger, Alex and Justin losing their powers, Alex quitting the competition, Mason’s return, and Max probably winning the competition, I might actually be happy that the show is possibly ending. The only thing I like this season is the new theme song, and how they didn’t choose ugly random poses for the clips. In a new episode I’m watching, the Wizard Council is breaking up Alex and Mason because ‘werewolves always eat the human!’. I’m not a Mason fan, but ugh. They couldn’t get a better reason or plot to break them up? Or at least open the purse strings to buy wardrobe for those WC? Seriously, snuggies that are just bedazzled with things from the local craft store shouldn’t count as wizards, for Disney. Their sister channel, ABC Family, has 24/7 Harry Potter marathons. The only reason why this Mason break up (Which won’t last, probably) is good, is because that could open a possibly Mason-Alex-Dean love triangle. Alex and Dean had growth in their relationship, where as Alex and Mason just had a love montage (Or a parody, anyway). If Juliet and Justin hook up again, that would be nice.

I mean, I already was starting to have several problems with the show in season 3, like

• Why was Stevie’s wizard revolution plan so bad? I understand if magic was finite, how that would pose a problem, but really? Killing her because she wanted all wizards to have power? On a Disney show?
• Why was Alex trying to shoo away Juliet and tell us that she has no hope to come back to a normal life when Alex later tried really hard to get Mason back? I’d be pretty pissed if I was Justin.
• Why is everyone all ‘Mason I miss you! <3333’ in the new episodes when he told Juliet he loved her? TVTropes and TV without Pity say that Mason also physically hurt Justin, but I don’t remember that part of the episode… so yeah. But really, how many of us would miss someone who basically cheated on a family member? And physically harmed another one, too?

But I still watched the show, as it was the best thing on Disney Channel, IMO. It’s not too babyish (SLOD, Shake it Up! and Sonny with a Chance, I’m talking to you) or too fake-drama-y (Hannah Montana, JONAS LA) and it has continuity (Sorry, Good Luck Charlie). And everyone on the show is kind of a legit actor/actress (Maria Canals Barrera has done a lot of guest appearances and voice over roles, David Henrie is on How I Met Your Mother, David DeLuise is from the DeLuise family, has done a lot of guest appearances, and 3rd Rock from the Sun, Selena Gomez has a CD or two, and been in Ramona & Beezus  as well as that new Monte Carlo movie [And has done a lot of stuff for UNICEF but that doesn’t count for her acting :P] and Jake T. Austin, who turned 16 yesterday [Happy birthday, Jake!] has done Go, Diego, Go!). But yeah, it’s confusing plot holes weren’t that bad, but now, it might actually risk my interest. Then again, I’ve dedicated 3 years to this show, I don’t have Disney on Demand anymore, and I know Disney will drop it after they air the finale, so I want to see how things end.

Side note: Now there’s an episode where the Russos are hanging out with a rich family. It reminds me of any Roseanne season 9 episode. I really hope Russo Child #4 makes things better.

Tonight, on a Very Special Blog Post…

I grew to tolerate and –gasp– like Shake it Up! ! And both plots! With an annoying guest star! :O

First, on Good Luck Charlie, Gabe tries to befriend the new neighbor who has a crush on Teddy. Teddy still isn’t over Spencer, to the point of cyber stalking. And the new neighbor forces Teddy to date him. New neighbor is 11 years old, and after they ‘go out’ she realizes she needs someone who’s good to her, not just attractive. Or something like that. I was playing The Sims 3, lol. So NN annoyed me, and I was annoyed that he was on Shake it Up! next. But then…

Then, CC, aka Bella Thorne, needs tutoring to stay on the show. She gets tutored by NN from Good Luck Charlie. He’s more or less playing the same character, because they’re both portrayed as upper class brats who speak with proper grammar. Anyway, it’s not working and then he explains it to her with dancing terms. And she learns! But then Annoying Little Brother ruins things by making NN ‘boyish’. But have no fear, because Rocky offers to tutor! NN says she can’t because… CC has dyslexia! And it was followed by a real, heartwarming/tearjerker conversation between CC and Rocky. Without Disney hamming it up, or spoiling it in commercials. I was impressed. And the B plot was also good. Foreign Twin Girl wants to go on a date, and Guy from Camp Rock takes her out. Okay, so Foreign Twin Boy had to pay GfCR to take FTG out, but still. And eventually, the couple grew to like each other. And they had a nice time. I’m still confused on why she isn’t a part of the main cast.

The Sonny with a Chance episode was alright. It had Joe Jonas (Ouch!) and Sterling Knight on, too, which was odd, because it was a So Random! Holiday Special.

I heard that Disney isn’t going to have as much princess movies after Tangled. I read that they have a bunch of ‘boy movies’ planned out for the next few years, and because The Princess and the Frog screwed up at the box office, they feel that nobody wants to see princesses anymore. I think it’s weird, because there’s no way Cinderella and friends didn’t help the Mouse House, so it’s odd to see them shoo away a perfectly good franchise, especially with Miley Cyrus leaving. I’m not saying Disney shouldn’t explore with different movies, but if their females are going to start looking like Bratz dolls than Barbies… yikes. Then again, I’m a male teen, so… yeah.

And ugh, school tomorrow. :(

The Future of Kids’ TV

If you visit DanWARP, Dan Schneider’s blog, you’ll see fans going rabid over last night’s episode. And Dan did what a responsible adult would do… delete comments and insist that nothing is going wrong. Mr.Schneider, you sir, are a jerk. So it looks like a lot of people won’t watch iCarly, and later on, Victorious, anymore.

On Disney, Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place are ending, Jonas LA got cancelled ended, and Sonny with a Chance… well, Demi’s in rehab. Oh, and Suite Life has a movie coming out, as well as cancellation rumors… so =|. So the future of kid’s television, or rather Disney and Nickelodeon, looks odd.

• Big Time Rush. They look like a better alternative to the Jonas brothers. I’m not saying they’re musical geniuses, but they have fun, catchy songs you’d expect from Nickelodeon. Not fake melodrama like Disney has with Jonas. They don’t really take themselves seriously, which I like. And it’s made by the Ned’s Declassified people, so that’s also nice. I mean, I don’t really go out of my way to watch it, but it’s better than I thought it would be, and I just keep it on if nothing else is on TV. But… it’s on season 2 already, and it’s not made by Schneider’s Bakery, so Nickelodeon will probably cut it sooner than other SB shows (SB? Spongebob? Yeah, something tells me that’s not just a coincidence). It’s also making everything that moves on Nickelodeon pump out CDs, singles, videos and concerts, but it hasn’t bothered me that much… yet.
• Good Luck Charlie. I like it because it’s more TGIF than Disney Channel, but that probably means the Mouse House will axe them quick. They have a movie coming out (Made for TV, but hey, SB has like 6 iCarly ‘movies’!), so that should be okay. I hope Mia, AKA Charlie, grows up normally. Oh, and they already are working on season 2… but the episodes are going out really slow.
• Shake it Up! looks like it’s here to stay for a while. I think it’s too annoying to watch so far, but I know by next year I’ll watch it, so I’ll just wait for more episodes or something. I hope their acting improves.
• Victorious: Do they really only have 5 episodes? Seriously, I’ve seen like only 5 episodes of it because those are the ONLY ones Nickelodeon shows. It feels like Dan knows his show is going to be successful, so he’s slacking on the quality. And it’s working. Victoria Justice is everywhere, and the script isn’t that good.
• Disney has like… two new shows planned. ANT Farm, which is about a girl who goes to a performing arts school, more or less. People complain that China McClain, the main actress on ANT Farm, is African American, and that the show is called ANT Farm, now ‘[name] high’. The other one, Madison High, is basically Glee with Disney music. And younger kids. I smell failure.

On the other hand… I heard ABCFamily is having a Raven show? That sounds nice.

Cloudy with a Chance

If you haven’t heard the news yet, Demi Lovato is getting treatment for ‘emotional and personal issues’. I heard that she use to cut herself in 2008. And although her show got picked up for a third season, it’s apparently going to just be like All That, or Saturday Night Live for preteens. And without Demi. You know, so Demi can focus on her personal issues.

I, personally, feel appalled by Disney’s decision. No, I’m not saying they shouldn’t give poor Demi a break, but really? The show is called Sonny with a Chance. Not So Random! or anything. And only So Random skits means no Chad Dylan Cooper and I’ve read a lot of comments filled with people going like ‘Oh, I only watch the show for CDC’ and everything, so the show will probably lose viewers, and get cancelled, once Demi feels better. And how will that make her feel, Disney? Besides, they’re just being insensitive to her. Instead of just having a hiatus, or some kind of plot within the show for her absence, they decide to show her that she’s essentially worthless to the show and they could replace her like that.

This is all Disney’s fault, anyway. If the Mouse House never made her become famous so fast, she’d have a transition to fame, and not breakdown and everything. From the first Camp Rock promotion I saw in April 2008 until a few weeks ago, Disney included Demi everywhere, and on everything. They didn’t let her ‘grow on’ to us, or anything, but instead, they handed her to us, and said ‘Here’s our new product. Like it or leave it.’ At least the HSM kids and Miley were unexpected successes, but now, everything on Disney is being marketed as the next big thing. I mean, Selena and the Twins also had transitions, but things aren’t looking too good for Bridgette Mendler or the Shake it Up! girls’ futures if Disney keeps this up. Besides, even if people do buy their products, once they leave Disney, nobody will take them seriously. At least Zac Efron is kind of a serious actor… or something like that. And Ashley Tisdale has a show on CW, as well as another HSM coming out next year. Oh, and Monique Coleman turned…. 30 today! That’s older than… Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Cory Monteith,and Cobie Smudlers?!!?! I’m not calling Monique old, I’m just criticizing Disney for not picking someone who, you know, isn’t 30. Then again, Jason Earles is like 33….

Get well soon, Demi!

The Scariest Thing on Disney Channel This October

Every October, Disney Channel has a bunch of ‘scary’ episodes of shows, movies, commercials, bumpers, and everything. But do you want to know what the really scary thing is, this year?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That new Shake it Up show on Disney Channel. The plot is two best friends Bella(Redhead) and Zendaya(Racially ambiguous girl) (Yes, I forgot the characters’ names) get a job on a dance show called Shake it Up Chicago or something, and they have to deal with the day to day problems of being famous. Basically, if Sonny with a Chance and Victorious had a baby, then this is what that show would be. I’m disappointed in Disney for ditching the normal person approach after Good Luck Charlie, but that’s not the real reason why this show scares me.

Bella and Zendaya are 13 and 14 years old respectively. They look way too skinny for their age(s?). And this might be my personal preference on makeup on girls, but isn’t middle school a little too early to buy out the CoverGirl aisle at Kmart? Their clothing also looks, um, revealing. In picture 3, you could see Bella’s back, which looks way too skinny. And according to the source, that picture was over a year ago. At the age of 12. They can dress however they want, but if the Glee kids get into trouble with PTC over a GQ photoshoot, and they’re in their mid twenties, why are these girls who are barely teens allowed to wear stuff that girls can’t even wear in my high school?! No, I’m not saying that I’m a perv who wants to look at girls in Bratz-esque outfits all day, but, um, if a high school student isn’t allowed to wear something that a 13 year old can(On a kids’ channel!), doesn’t that say something? Besides, the oldest kid on the show is like, 19. Knowing Disney, they’ll be pushing a romance, so, um, how is a slutty 13 year old supposed to fall in love with a desperate 19 year old realistically? :/

I mean, they could wear whatever they’d like, but, if I saw these kids in the mall, I’d think they’re wannabe middle schoolers. Maybe I’m just a bit old fashioned when it comes to clothes and make up, but my cousin, who’s 11, has been ‘dieting’(Well, not seriously, but she has horrible self esteem. Then again, she shares a room with her gym attending, fake tanned sisters who are a few years older than her… so yeah) since 2008 because people like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato make her feel fat. She’s not huge, especially compared to other people in today’s society, but 11 year old girls shouldn’t have to feel judged, fat, or forced to shop at Hollister, Aeropostale, and Abercrombie and Fitch.

I’m not hating Bella and Zedaya, but honestly. Would Disney love them if they dressed in 20 layers of turtlenecks with no makeup?

Will I still watch the show? Yes, probably. Do I wish Bella and Zedaya luck? Yes. Those two need all the guidance in the world, at this point.

Iceberg Ahead

Last month, Debby Ryan, AKA Bailey on Suite Life on Deck started a Twitter rumor that SLoD is getting cancelled. She said that she was sad about how it was the last week of filming …season 3. This sent fans and tween blogs all over the Internet to find out stuff about SLoD’s future. Here’s what I think happened:

1. Debby was being honest: It was the last week of filming and it was the last week of Season 3. As in, it’s getting cancelled, but people would stop watching if they knew the show’s fate.
2. It was the last week of Season 3, but something big, like a cast member leaving, occurs.
3. SLoD needed the extra publicity so they used Debby Ryan’s Twitter to scare people. :P

Apparently, Season 3 has episodes like Prom, and Graduation. But WHO? London learned to drive in 2005(15/16), Maddie went to college in 2008(18/19) and she became a senior in 2009(17/18 ?). I’m guessing she didn’t get held back because that would look bad for a Disney character. No, I’m not attacking people who got held back, but I’m just saying Disney’s too uptight to air things like that. They got rid of an episode Suite Life of Zack and Cody because it featured Zack pretending to be dyslexic for special treatment, and people complained. So basically, Disney hates controversy.

Now, the question is: Who’s Graduation is it? London’s? Zack, Cody, Bailey, Woody and newcomer Maya? Either way, we’re losing one character, or 5. It can be London, because Brenda Song has almost been on Disney for 12 years now, and she’s going to star in that new Facebook movie, so maybe she wants to do something different. It can be Zack, Cody and the rest of the crew, because the twins are heading off to college this year, IRL, so that won’t be good for filming. Then there’s the scary option: All of them. The Suite Life series has had 6 seasons, been on for 5 years, and has magically avoided too much music. Not to mention, it’s the most boy oriented show on the network, and it’s not like there are any heartthrobs to lure in any girls. I don’t mean to sound sexist, but I’m pretty sure Disney got Dylan and Cole because they thought they’d turn into heartthrobs, which meant boys wanted to be them, and girls wanted to be with them. My point is, it’s days are limited on the network. After all, fellow Disney Channel long runners, Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place are going to be cancelled too, so the Mouse House Executives are probably planning to take another one while we’re all mourning two other show-deaths, so a third one won’t seem as bad.

The only other way they could continue the show is A) If they make it like a new Degrassi, for kids. Kids go on the show, do stupid stuff for 4 years, and they get replaced after. Disney tries to make superstars out of everyone, but to no avail, so they just kill the franchise. Besides, if Jonas was retooled into a tween soap, and 2 comedies(And I use that word very loosely) are being cancelled, then maybe they plan on turning all of the shows into music/dance based tween soaps? That new show, Live it Up, or something, is about dance, so it’s possible they’ll just scrap the laugh track.

And option B)The kids go to college… on the boat! Self explanatory.

Then again, the SLoD cast is getting a DCOM next year, so this could either be a finale movie, or Disney’s way of starting the new SLoD franchise mentioned in option A.

I’m personally sad to see the show go. Don’t get me wrong, the characters and plots repulse me, but I’m sad to see the show go when everything is screwed up. Disney, please fix everything with the show, then cancel it.

Mid Week Update

Here’s a mixture of my thoughts and random tidbits from Saturday:

• I saw the iSam’s Mom special for iCarly. It was good, but the side plot seemed like it could’ve been it’s own episode. They needed more Jane Lynch in it. I hope Nickelodeon keeps her around. Oh, and I caught up with the iGot a Hot Room special. I thought it was funny, but the spoilers in trailers sucked. And I wonder if they’re gonna keep the high budget room.
• Yesterday was good and bad. My AP US I teacher acted like… something I can’t say publicly on the Internet. My backpack broke. I probably gave off a bad impression to my English teacher for not saying hi to him in the halls. And I almost missed my bus. And then that Sara vs Jarsie stuff. But….. I realized I have a lot of stuff to be thankful for: My Dad fixed my backpack and I still have my family and a lot of stuff to be thankful for. So in the end, I realized that just because my school day was bad, it didn’t mean my life was bad. Especially after reading this post on Kami's blog, and thinking about all the other people in the world who are less fortunate. I’m starting to sound like my Grandmother. o.O
• Today went good. I guess it’s after overanalyzing yesterday. :P I took my school picture today, but I’m not sure if I bended too much(Look this way, put your legs here, no not there, on the marks, thaaaattt’s it, now smiiile!) or smiled too fake, or if my eyes looked creepy or anything. No, I don’t look that horrible(I hope *knocks on wood*), but sometimes when I take a picture(Or at least for school related stuff), I get nervous and… you’ve seen any picture day episode of any kidcom, haven’t you? I had no homework today, which was good. I just feel a little ripped off. I mean, yeah, I started some long term homework, and I did some recycling in my basement, and I ate out with my family, but I wanted to do more than just reading a blog or two and catching up with my FarmVille. Eh, I should be grateful for having a nice day and leave it at that. Oh, and I got an A on an AP assignment. But I get back another test from the first day of school tomorrow…. yikes. *Reads last bullet to feel happy*
• Oh yeah, more TV stuff. The VMAs… MTV, why the hell did you move your show to 9? I’m sure a lot of people don’t give a fudge about what some wannabe D lister is wearing. And if it’s because Chelsea Handler is vulgar, well, that’s your problem. It was a school night, and I had to sleep, so I just watched up to Taylor singing. She’s awesome. Oh, and Lady GaGa? I think it’s MTV’s fault for nominating her so many times. I felt bad for everyone else who didn’t win stuff. They should’ve stop at like 5 nominations.
• Disney time. I missed the first half of Hannah Montana because I thought the VMAs started at 8 because MTV showed their pre show instead. So, basically, the horse didn’t die and Miley lied to Lily, broke her leg and almost killed her pet horse because she didn’t admit about climbing the gym rope. Or something like that. Way to go, Miley. On the other hand, I think that the Good Luck Charlie was funny. That was the first time I liked G Hannelius or whatever her name is. I thought Teddy’s dancing was adorable! And the show is still good, to me.
• Melissa and Joey? Eh. I was catching up on the blogosphere, so I felt lost throughout the episode. Eh, ABCFamily will air it a bunch of more times anyway, so I’m not missing out on anything, right?

Soulful Sim Irony

On a quick Google search of Soulful Sims, guess what comes up?

Yeah, AE’s warning against them. :P

And remember how earlier this week I said I read about a Cory in the House season 3? Wiki lied. :(

And I hate it when workers in stores follow potential customers around a lot. Like there’s this one book store I go to, and literally every time I walk in the same 3 workers ask if I need help with anything. It’s so annoying. Yeah, sure, sometimes I go in there and I read magazines or skim through books, but it’s not like I’m the only one who does that. I know other people who literally just sit on the floor in their own corner and read novels or whatever. And it’s so annoying, because anytime I touch a book, like to see the price, page numbers or summary, 7 workers come out of nowhere and ask if I need help. No, I don’t need help! If I needed help, I’d ask for it. And if you speak in anything above a whisper, they get their aprons* in a bunch. Honestly. And it used to be a Borders express before, but then they got screwed over and had to sell it. But it has the same exact workers! Ugh! That store sucks because they have racial/criminal profiling and bad service. :/

*Yes, they wear aprons in a book store. It’s not even like Barnes & Noble or Borders which have coffee shops or whatever. They don’t even need them!

That’s So Average

So, when I watched that episode of Sonny with a Chance with Raven Symone, it was… okay. I’d give it a 5 or 6, and Raven really saved the episode. It was fun but zany and ridiculous, so it felt a lot like a That’s so Raven episode. I’m happy that she still has some acting jobs, but I’m disappointed that she’s stuck with Disney. At least she’s sober and drug free, right?

And apparently Kyle Massey is going to be on Dancing with the Stars? LOL. Good luck, Kyle. Go to 2:42, if you want proof. :P

AND OH MY GOSH APPARENTLY IT’S COMING BACK FOR A THIRD SEASON ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA!?!?!?! :D :D :D

Sorry. I’m obsessed with Disney, and I loved Cory in the House. :) Sure, there were no sources on Wikipedia, but oh well. I’m suspicious, however, because apparently it’s coming back December, but I haven’t seen any new promos yet. Also, if Hannah Montana’s president was Mr.Martinez in 2007, but a few weeks ago, he was played by someone who looked like Barack Obama, does this mean they got impeached, or lost the 2008 election? :P

That’s So Cool!

On Disney, they’re airing a bunch of commercials for Raven’s appearance on Sonny with a Chance. :D I loved That’s So Raven and I was really disappointed when Disney cancelled Cory in The House. I remember last year I read a rumor about a possible Chelsea spinoff, called Chelsea Daniels in the Diamond. I’m not sure WHAT happened for that, at all. Like why it popped out of nowhere, or why it was called that. And Chelsea would be a college sophomore or junior by the time the show aired, so if anything, it would be more suited for ABCFamily. Then the show just disappeared. And I was left Ravenless. :(

But now she’s back and it’s okay, for now. Maybe she’ll get her own show once Hannah Montana is off? –wishful thinking- 

Not Again, Disney!

So, Hannah Montana on Disney Channel recently had Miley/Hannah break up with her ‘true love’ Jake for cheating on her. Keep in mind that he’s an actor and the picture of him cheating could’ve been a picture of him from a movie, although he didn’t deny cheating. But anyway, now Miley is single again, and, she likes some guy from last season. She ends up ignoring her Dad and rescheduling a Father/Daughter day with him to go out with Jesse, the guy. Then, on the date, Jesse takes a call from his Dad, when Miley flips out on him, saying that she had to leave her Dad for a day with him, and he can’t ignore one phone call. But… Jesse’s Dad is in Afghanistan! Then the commercial ends with ‘A special performance by Hannah Montana dedicated to military families’! Okay, no offense intended to military families or anyone, but it bothers me how Disney just summed up the episode in 20 seconds. Yes, I’m still going to watch it if I’m home, but it bothers me that now others won’t because they summed it up. And for this special, important episode, they spoiled the plot, but for other random episodes, they don’t tell us anything.

They’ve done the same with Good Luck Charlie, like the episode with the anniversary. ‘The kids plan a special anniversary dinner for Mom and Dad! But will plans fall apart? *Cue showing Charlie ruining the Moroccan theme*’. And then that episode where Teddy sucks up to her teacher ‘Teddy’s teacher doesn’t like her! So will she use Charlie to help her?’, and then they said something about Charlie being gassy. Basically, they always spoil the episode within the commercial.

The only show they haven’t done this for is Suite Life On Deck (I know who’s getting eliminated kicked off, but from outside blogs, not Disney), and it’s basically on it’s sixth season. Wizards of Waverly Place doesn’t get spoiling commercials, but… misleading commercials, which are just as bad. And Sonny With a Chance? My brother figured out who did it in the one hour special, Sonny with a Secret, before that episode even aired.

That iCarly episode where she gets a brand new room had not 1, or 2, but 3 places to stop the commercial! ‘It’s Carly’s birthday!’, ‘But there’s a disaster!’ and ‘Her new room/Spencer saves the day’, but not actually showing the room! I was gonna watch it, until I realized, A) It would be on reruns(I haven’t seen it yet D:), B) It would be on Demand(It’s not there, either), and C)They already showed pictures of her room online, so I’m not really missing anything. This commercial spoiling thing is a multi-network phenomenon!

But overall, I’m happy Disney did a special episode, but they should’ve just end the commercial with ‘But will a phone call ruin their date?’, then show the performance clip .

And the picture above is from Google. No copyright issues intended. ^^;

Another Reason to Hate Disney

I’ll start this post off with restating that yes, I’m a 15 year old boy who (still) watches Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. And it’s not as mind numbing as everyone says it is, or at least some of the shows are watchable. So anyway, I haven’t seen any new episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place in a while and I read that the last few episodes of this season will be big (According to TVTropes, anyway), so I was concerned that either A) Disney realized it has more than tweens watching it so they’re screwing it to end it or B) Disney aired only a few promos for the new episodes, and it got blocked out by Phineas and Ferb or Suite Life on Deck stuff.

But guess what I found out on Wikipedia? The fourth season and second movie will be the last parts of the series, and then they’re just gonna cancel production on it.  Yes, I understand that 4 seasons and 2 movies is a lot for a kids show, but still. It’s going to end around 2011 or 2012, whereas other shows on Disney got like 6 years of production or marketing, and tons of merchandise and music, concerts, and dolls(Hannah Montana) or they were on Disney for 3 seasons, then they got a ‘spinoff’(I use that term very loosely), and are still surviving another 3 seasons(The Suite Life series. But seriously, it’s basically 6 seasons of the same show.) So why can’t Wizards survive? If the trio(Well, David Henrie and Selena Gomez, anyway) are getting too old, can’t they just add some adult humor, retool it a little, and send it to ABC Family? I mean, seriously! They already had an episode where Alex(Selena Gomez) kills someone (Well, freezes, then unintentionally breaks into pieces and shrug off). Can’t they just make it like Sabrina the Teenage Witch more?

So, in another Disney news… that Den Brother movie aired. Just from watching those commercials, I knew what the entire movie would be. Main kid(Hutch Dano or something?) is annoying, gets in trouble for ego, takes care of annoying sister and friends(G… something. Couldn’t they shorten her last name, too?), ‘hilarious’ montage takes place where Hutch dresses up as their (female) adult chaperone, antics which only embarrass and kill any chance of Hutch’s career outside of Disney occur, then Hutch goes out on a date with random Girl. RG then goes like ‘What? You’re a jerk! I hate you! You suck!’ or something among those lines, and then this is when Hutch decides to change his act with the help of some annoying background music, which totally isn’t symbolic of anything. Then there’s something involving hockey, like a game against the rival team, and while Hutch takes annoying sister and friends there as a ‘field trip’, one of the team members on the hockey team get injured (Bonus points if it’s the former best friend) and Hutch has to sub for him or something (It’s Disney, and I don’t get involved in sports, so I’m not sure if that’s allowed), but there’s some regulation about… I don’t know, but they don’t let him play. So then, brilliantly, annoying sister plays! And there’s some random moment like potential love interest for Random Girl on the rival team crosses the line and almost knocks the sister out, and then there’s a slow motion/suspense moment where, guess what? The little sister wins the game. And then the Random Girl falls in love with Hutch and the movie ends with a song, which is probably performed by Hutch or the sister. Bonus points if it’s a duet.

Yeah, I need to watch less Disney.

Quick Post

Dear Disney,

As much as you think that promoting JONAS (Oh, I’m sorry, JONAS LA) will help you out, just stick with your already famous(ish) shows. And please. Focus on other character’s relationships too. Not just the ones with record deals. Good night.

 

PS: To everyone else. New Timberson post is on it’s way! :D

Disney’s Double Trouble with Double Standards

Remember how when I started this blog, I said it would be less random? Well… I kind of lied. :X

So with me having like no homework on Memorial Day Weekend, I was bored, and decided to go on the Free On Demand section that I get with Verizon. And since I still watch Disney Channel as well as Nickelodeon(To be fair, I started re-watching their shows after reading TVTropes, they provide kind of different and original views on shows), I checked the Disney section out.

I was watching Suite Life On Deck, because I had nothing else to do. And there was that ‘Bermuda triangle alternate reality’ episode, but instead, Zack and Cody just became separated at birth. The twins switched personalities with each other, and normally, everyone on the show hates Cody for being sensitive, disliking sports, applying himself in school, and so on. But in this episode, they hated Alternate-Reality Cody because HE was a womanizer, could care less about school, lazy and so on. Okay Disney, let me get this straight, so it’s okay to hate friendly people in one world, and then the exact opposite in the other? In the AR world, everyone was all ‘shame on you Cody DX’ to Cody, but in their ‘real’ world, everyone hates Cody for being friendly and sensitive. Seriously, that whole episode was just Cody abuse. They didn’t even have a moral of ‘Extremes are bad, moderations are good’ or anything, just ‘Be careful what you wish for’.

And then, I heard that JONAS is getting a second season, but the whole show is being remodeled, revamped, and rewritten, because the Jonases are ‘moving’(Truth: JONAS failed to attract viewers, merchandise, or anything, so they’re doing everything they can to save it.). Oh, so when a show that doesn't have eye candy as it's main stars doesn’t do that good, you have to kill it immediately, but when it’s a cash cow like JONAS(Who already have Camp Rock,  Living the Dream, their own music ‘career’, and other junk),  you have to try EVERYTHING to save it? Good gosh. With Hannah Montana ending(They have another special episode coming, this time on Military families), Suite Life having no end in site, Wizards wrapping up on it’s third season, and Sonny with a Chance having no chance, Disney needs to learn what to do with their shows. Oh, and Good Luck Charlie seems nice for now, but I wonder how the Jason Dolley curse will affect it.

 

Happy Memorial Day!
