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. :(

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!

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 .

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!
