The rise of social media and streaming with the introduction of Disney+ lessened the popularity of tween media. Don't get me wrong, tween media is still being made, but most of it is on streaming. Another factor is the rise of adult content that's easily accessible to kids with every child having a phone.
Good point. I’m pretty sure kids are fully aware of what Squid Game is when it came out just because of all the memes and discussion. That’s certainly not meant for kids, yet they all watched it anyway.
It’s just the evolution of when we tried to sneakily watch Adult Swim behind our parents’ backs because it was on a usually kid appropriate channel.

ashley tisdale's headstrong was amazing! and very suiting to the time. i was amazed by how the radios woudnt engaje just becuse she was sharpay. "he said she said" is very 2000s gold.
Bridgit is a very underrated Disney star to me, her nemesis ep is one of my favorite works from a post Disney star, and she seems to be doing rly great, and has been getting her phd I believe
I find the intersection of Christianity and capitalism so fascinating and weird at the same time. The way this multi million dollar corporation made *teens* spout purity culture propaganda (which has incredibly harmful consequences to this day) it's strange as well. PS: I loved the video. As always, much love from Latin America!
I think after 2013, with the rise of stan twitter and Tumblr, more tweens and teens got to see different avenues of content and discover new music. Lorde and Sky Ferreira both benefited from that, don't know if anyone agreees.
This makes so much sense and around 2013 and 2014 IMO, the last good batch of Disney channel shows were airing their last seasons. Like Jessie, Austin and Allie, Shake It Up, Ant Farm, and Good Luck Charlie.
@@mariamabah5265I still love "Calling All The Monsters"
Oh the very specific younger millennial feels in this video. 😭I do wish the child stars that I associate with so many fond memories didn’t have to endure so much trauma.
must be true because as a part of the oldest of the millennials i have zero feelings about any of this. just find it interesting lol
Vanessa Hudgens is mixed with Filipino and Irish ancestry. It's not like she's the most Asian-looking person you'll ever meet in your life. This counts as her being palatable enough for White audience.
When I was younger I always assumed she was a white Latina or mestiza, I was shocked to learn that she was actually half Asian. I rarely ever heard her name come up when it came to “Asian representation”.
She’s full asia
@@Sugarspiceandeverythingbut fhipenos are Latino mixture too
Damn I thought she was some kind of Hispanic this whole time
@@Ashleymfranklin1990 Filipinos aren't considered Latino or Hispanic because The Philippines is in Asia and they don't speak Spanish. Spaniards did colonize their country though, which is why most Filipinos have Spanish surnames.
One of the reasons why, tween/teen medias are hard to find nowadays because most teenagers now seem to be "adultified". They look and even act mature for their age. Even teen shows nowadays gotta include drugs and s3x in it lmao *side-eyes Euphoria*
It's honestly pretty sad...
Yeah when I was young I thought “wow this teen media is hoaky and nothing like real life it’s so sanitized and kiddie like” and now that I’m an adult who definitely had my fair share of inappropriate teenage chaos I look at teen media today and I think “holy shit even when I was doing this kind of stuff it was never LIKE THIS” they really do glamorize it all! Maybe if the media today portrayed the s3x and drug5 as “gee this is awkward and I’m nervous and scared and probably doing it wrong” like ACTUAL TEENS then I could understand that stuff even being included
Euphoria is not for tweens or teens . Minor shouldn't be watching an 18+ show in the first place
Plus, Skins was a thing back them and shows like pretty little liars and Gossip girl
@@thisusserisacat but the show still involving teen characters, that's why i don't like it and it felt strange seeing teens getting sexualized
Euphoria is not for minors. The show is problematic ASF, specially when it came to their female characters .(My English is pretty bad ). I stop watching the show because of the Kate arc . I only like Hunter's character special
Aly & Aj have always had such raw talent. I love their new music so much. I'm seeing them for the second time in September. I've also seen Selena Gomez and The Jonas Brothers as an adult because I didn't get to go to concerts as a kid.
This is so nostalgic! I remember watching Disney Channel for the first time and being obsessed. It was great being a kid and a tween at that time 🥰
I also think it comes down to money. Reflecting on my tween experience , I only watched these shows between 10-12. This is a very small market compared to toddler, kid, teen and adult content. Yes there are a bunch of teens but the age out so quickly that it’s not lucrative to develop new characters and shows for each new batch. ❤ your work!! Stay amazing😊 from the Bronx, with love.
The explicit Potential Breakup Song was a big hit for me. She wants her shit back!
Any one else audibly gag when Cheyanne mentioned the movie where the guy was 26 and Selena was 16 and they were the romantic leads?
What concerned me about Miley’s cover on Vanity Fair was (from what I saw because how it was shot) that she looked sad or scared. The behind the scenes photos doesn’t show that, but the cover was concerning and was worried she didn’t want to do it.
I was more sad for her than thinking she was promiscuous and a bad role model. My mom said this as well. I love how my mom can separate things and allows me to like what I like. Another example was Jaime Lynn Spears. She didn’t make me stop watching Zoey 101 because the actress was pregnant at the time. She helped me see that stuff happens, but at least she stayed and took care of her kid.
People need to judge actions more than appearances and acknowledge that people make mistakes and what is important is how they come back from them.
Correction: while Brenda is “not a singer” (her words), she’s not lacking in talent. She contributed vocals to the collective Disney Circle of Stars version “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.” Almost all the big stars of that era (2005) were there, from the ones who are known for singing, like Raven, Ashley Tisdale, and Aly Michalka, along with others who aren’t necessarily known for singing, but do have decent vocal talent, like the Sprouses, Kyla Pratt, and Ricky/Raviv Ullmann, among others. They also had a lineup in 2003 (singing Circle of Life) which featured some of the same stars (Christy Carlson Romano was featured on this one), and a revival in 2014 (singing Do You Want to Build a Snowman)
You forgot about Let It Shine (2012) 😅 1:24:42
I look back at this era with complete fondness, but Miley "turning" was a complete reality check for me. The darkness behind the curtain was definitely there yet I still think Disney Channel back then was the best. The Climb is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard!
I miss this era, it seemed so innocent, but there was a lot of issues beneath the surface. Also, I feel old when talking to my preteen cousins, and they don't realise that Miley Cyrus was Hannah Montana.
Hmm.... I guess the wig worked after all 😅
Same here lol 😅
i was *OBSESSED* with cory in the house. my mom and i would sing the theme song when it came on!!
Best anime ever!
Shoutout to Aj with her voice acting roles especially Catra! 😄
Honestly I really suggest Ashley Tisdales debut album Headstrong, it's urban pop and I believe it's aged well. But that's my opinion.
I’m turning 25 in a few months. I still have a soft spot for some of the Disney Channel teeny bopper shows/movies- Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Austin & Ally (literally one of my all time favorite shows as well as my comfort show) Lemonade Mouth, Teen Beach Movie, and even some of the songs from Descendants (I’m not personally a fan of the Descendants movies but I can’t argue with the songs being good), and Camp Rock still has good songs but the movie aged atrociously 😂😂😂😂
I miss that era so much. Thank god for Disney+ where I can still watch them and feed my nostalgic desire, and in some cases, treat my depression and anxiety and calm my anxiety attacks and help calm my emotional trauma.
2006-2012 was my era of disney lol even though I watched some of the shows before that I wasn't as familiar with them. It's weird to think that this doesn't really exist anymore...then again it might be for the best given how the stars were treated. Disney stars seem to have more freedom now.
Same, I’m 24 and That’s So Raven got me into Disney Channel and it went uphill from there. I stopped watching Disney Channel after Shake it Up ended.
I think Efron's surgery was due to an accident he had, not because of aesthetic purposes
Yeah, I heard he got into a accident and had to get surgery as a result.
Yeah, when I also googled, it came up that it was due to an injury. I feel like it's a bad idea to conflate reconstructive plastic surgery with cosmetic surgery....
@@CrazyDot28Yeah. I remember watching a video on the Star Wars Christmas Special. Mark Hamil had a similar look to Zac in that.
The content you make has so much value and I'm so happy to see videos like these evaluating the worth that formative media like this had on us as children. Such a cool video, so excited for more of your work!! :-)
London Tipton and Raven were my crushes back then .
thank you so much for the intro. we support our writers !!
I recently played Send it on for my husband (who wasn't a Disney kid) and he loved it! 💚
I remember when Miley Cyrus was going through her black phase. It's okay for them to play Black. But they can't deal with the hardships that come from being Black.
Crazy to me that she's never been made accountable for her appropriation.
Because of her “black” phase I cannot stand her. You’re correct. They get to walk away & be white again whenever they want. POC can NEVER be “white”
So true.
@@kellie_yactually, she has acknowledged it (2019). Still don’t rock with her, but she apologized to the “hip-hop community”
frrr though but sometimes i do think she gave herself that image to distance herself from her disney girl one, and in a BIG way it worked but it gave another image to regret
One thing I’ll say regarding the Annie Leibowitz photos is that bluff answer she gave is kind of her whole shtick. She likes to hype herself up as this avant-grade introspective portrait photographer when really it’s just fashion photography with a quirky gimmick thrown on top.
cheetah girls and stuck in the suburbs are my favorite movies and I really liked Hilary duff and Brenda song as far as the stars go.
can't believe I never caught on to the christian undertones with Disney lol such an interesting video, thank you for sharing!
also that Selena Miley RUclips feud omg! I still know every word to that selena/demi video
corey in the house is my favorite anime
I agree with everything you said. I think kids today know of it and they have the option to watch this era but it’ll never be the same sadly. I made my little cousin watch Hannah Montana and she loved it she’s just 12 so it was before her time but Disney + let’s kids at least have access to that kind of media however the phase TWEEN all together has phased out. From clothing to media to lifestyle. Tweens wear the same Shein clothes that 20 year olds wear basically. They watch The Summer I Turned Pretty even tho it’s more of a late teen show. Their Disney channel stars are now TikTokers. It’s different because the way we consume media has vastly changed. They don’t need to wait for 8pm to watch He Could Be The One Hannah Montana Special. They don’t need to buy Tiger Beat magazine to find out more about their favorite artist they can just search interviews on TikTok.
I think it does have its downside though, tweens should preserve their youth and naïvity the internet is a crazy place and there are some themes that shouldn’t be exposed to them so soon imo. They shouldn’t be asking for idk Patrick Ta makeup and getting acrylic nails at 12.
I think Olivia Rodrigo was the last big Disney star and she’s broken away from that image so well that some people don’t even know she was on Disney (same thing with Jenna Ortega). SOUR even came out while she was technically still on Disney and the show even doing the next season - where she cusses and talks about more “adult” themes. HSMTMTS was a great show it doesn’t have anything to do with HSM surprisingly however i don’t think it’ll ever reach iconic status cause kids can watch anything now it’s not like they are limited to what’s on cable. What is even the popular “it” Disney show at the moment? Do they even do DCOMS anymore? I was too old for Descendants and even that seemed more childish than HSM.
Growing up during this era there is no way i can even begin to explain the drama, plot lines, crossovers, music etc of this era on and off Disney. I lowkey feel bad for kids now. The Hannah Montana note you read at the beginning almost made me cry lol. It was just such a huge part of my childhood esp Miley and the Jonas Brothers Selena etc. The Jonas Brothers music was before it’s time and I used to watch their random videos on RUclips too omg that unlocked a memory 😭 I really miss that era. They came out recently saying that JONAS the show was a mistake and they shouldn’t have done it. I remember not being interested in the show that much even though I loved them.
I love 2000s content - happy I found your channel ✨
You made some really good points. Being exposed to adult content can lead to adult problems. I wish kids could go back to being kids, focusing on inner growth and development instead of their outer image to the world.
I remember watching Jonas, really liked season 1 because it was extremely silly, but didn't care about season 2 because for some reason they shifted the tone for something more like a soup opera (?). I don't remember any spies though 😂
Thank you for all the work you put in! This was a great video and as a millennial who grew up with early 00s to 2010 Disney channel this was a great breakdown.
Excellent video essay, Cheyenne. As for me, I was conflicted with Disney Channel around the early to mid-2000s. I did enjoy Lizzie McGuire, and I believed that Hilary Duff had sufficient charm and lovability to make her shine exceedingly well. I even liked Even Stevens because of Christy Carlson Romano's and Shia LaBeouf's superb sibling chemistry as Ren and Louis, respectively. To this day, I still love Kim Possible and The Proud Family because those were two of the best cartoons that the Disney Channel ever produced, especially when Christy Carlson Romano and Kyla Pratt pulled off beautiful performances as Kim and Penny in the respective shows. Furthermore, Cheetah Girls 1 still holds up so beautifully to this day, and I would find myself rewatching it, thanks to Raven-Symoné's, Adrienne Bailon's, Sabrina Bryan's, and Kiely Williams's superb vocal chemistry.
Things got more contentious by the time I was 12 years old and in the sixth grade in 2004 because I was already getting into anime a lot more, and I was starting to perceive a lot of the Disney Channel shows, especially That's So Raven and Phil of the Future, as not for me. I remembered thinking to myself that seeing a lot of my girl classmates/colleagues carrying around Disneymania CDs and acting like a lot of the catty characters from the Disney and Nickelodeon shows was akin to, in my mind, watching the zombie apocalypse. This was egregious in a "friendship" that I had with one girl who used to throw me bitch faces, roll her eyes at me when I did something out of line, and she acted freaking catty. I thought to myself that Disneymania was responsible for turning a lot of my girl classmates into catty, manipulative, bitchy zombies. However, looking back at the ex-bitch who used to be super catty and just plain horrible by talking shit about me to a couple of my other girl classmates, I came to the conclusion, as an adult, that she probably liked me but had way too many stringent expectations. We're cool on social media these days, but during those times even after I graduated from sixth grade and she was approaching fifth grade, I just could not stand her skinny, catty, bitch face-making, eye-rolling guts as if she were a Herodias or Salome in training. I think it was just a reminder that the interests I had in anime, opera, video games such as Tekken and Soul Calibur, and adult cartoons did not gel with a lot of my girl colleagues in middle school. Furthermore, I am glad that I did not end up in a relationship with her back then when I was young, and I almost did not want anything to do with her because of how she became so catty and was so tempted to hurl her skinny ass to the next galaxy if I had the chance.
In terms of the Disney Channel stars, I always tried to like them as people first, not for their characters. I love Raven-Symoné as a singer, and she was pleasant as a child actress, but I always found her portrayal of Raven Baxter to be annoying, obnoxious, and draining especially in the later seasons. I always believe that Brenda Song is a brilliant woman with a lot to give, but I cannot stand her as London Tipton in terms of her brand of air-headedness and vapidness. Anneliese van der Pol is a talent that is truly made for Broadway and the stage as a whole, but there were occasions when I despised Chelsea Daniels and her tendency to be idiotically annoying. Even when looking back at the Disney Channel So-Hot Summer commercials, I almost wanted to spit so much venom at them because I saw them as the purveyors of turning a lot of girl classmates into catty, bitchy, ruthless manipulators from Hell and see those characters in the So-Hot Summer Commercials cry like the bitches that they were when I unleash the cooler anime characters to kick their butts. Sometimes I also find myself mocking the High School Musical and Hannah Montana crossover promos when Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens, Jason Earles, Mitchel Musso, Emily Osment, and Miley Cyrus were in. Despite the venom that I had against those commercials, promos, and some characters that annoyed me, I at least still liked the Express Yourself segments because these were the commercials that showed the Disney Channel stars of the early to mid-2000s who they were, what were they defined by, and what they liked, and not just them playing characters.
Sure, I got a lot out of my chest, but I wanted to say my piece on the experience I had with the Disney Channel, especially during the mid-2000s, because it contextualized my changing tastes and some of the relationships that fizzled badly during my youth.
i never felt any emotions towards any of this but i was a teenage stoner that just wanted stupid laughs instead of dramatic tv shows or news stations. now as a 40 yr old hippie stoner i still kinda like those shows and watch em on disney+. still better than anything else on and everytime i laugh i feel happy inside. like it's just good clean fun laughs. sad the ppl were exploited. but still a time i like to relive. nickelodeon and disney were peak in those times.
The Disney Channel was kind of after my time (born in 1987), but it's fascinating to see your analysis of media that shaped your youth. I'll admit I considered myself too "cool and mature" for HSM when it came out, but I finally broke down in college and watched it and found it quite charming 😂 some of those songs slap so hard!
Hilary Duff was the first concert I ever went to. This brought back many memories. Edit: It also physically hurt when you said the Cheetah Girls was 20 years ago. lol
My favorite Disney Channel Movies;
1. Cheetah Girls (1 and 2)
2. Freaky Friday
3. Sky High
4. The Parent Trap
5. Holes
6. High School Musical (all 3)
7. Jump In
8. Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior
9. Let It Shine
10. Twitches
Honorable mentions to Halloweentown and Lemonade Mouth, I loved them as well but the others I remember watching more.
59:10 BOUNCE!!!! lives were changed!! i was SO into demi & selena at the time so bc demi was featured i played that song OUT
Fantastic video, thanks so much for making it.
I’m so happy I found your channel! It’s so informative and fun! ❤
Aly and AJ today are honestly making some truly amazing music. They just released an album earlier this year, With Love From, and they had a killer tour. 💖
Jessie McCartney is still making music today, also.
Not Disney, but I’ll call bullshit on anyone saying the songs from victorious aren’t “real music”. I’m in my twenties and listened to them recently, and they’re STILL bangers.
I mean hell some of them actually gave young girls an outlet to express frustrations over adult experiences they were having for the first time but were nonetheless considered “too young” to talk about, like suddenly getting unwanted attention from men
All of it is real music
@@lisah8438 fuck yah, "freak the freak out" still goes hard (take a hint is still the best though, like objectively)
amazing video! I remember the tail end of the tween media era, with wizards of waverly place and occassionally hanna montana. I remember when shows like jessie and liv and maddie started up when I was about 9 or 10 and I remember the shows feeling to me when I was younger
Oh my gosh Mike's Super Short Show!!! And I remember disliking the switch to Disney 365 because I liked the logo melody of Disney 411 way better LOL
Stop I forgot about that!!
I was too old when this came along.
Pretty interesting take.
Also, you forgot JC (one of the members of NSYNC. The one on the left in that pic.) when talking about talent from Mickey Mouse club.
This is what dreams are made of! Really awesome video. A nice trip down memory lane. I liked that you touched on positive and negative aspects. There were definitely changes in trends over the years but still had a pretty distinct through line of that Disney brand. And yeah there was a lot of blonde Christian country being pushed at Disney in the early to mid 2000s, which somehow I was never fully cognizant of. Still love Aly & AJ though! I loved their older music and their newer music is really good too. Also yes I definitely remember Mike’s Super Short Show!
Forgot to mention, but that’s so cool to see just how much of a fan you were of something with your JoBros love. Wow I’d completely forgotten about the old RUclips layouts and especially the bulletins. What a throwback!
Thanks for this neat video!
I truly enjoy your videos ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 🫶
I LOVED Hillary Duff’s Christmas album as a kid. I couldn’t find it on Spotify a couple years ago (haven’t looked recently) and my parents bought me the CD. I still listen to it around Christmas time.
Wow such impressive work in this video
Thank you for giving a well developed, nuanced and heart felt analysis. I'm in education and I see how the tween stage is dying off. So many of my students are on inappropriate apps, due to little guidelines on content, and their innocence is fading quickly. Kids really are growing up so fast, in a Brave New World Way. The tween media area will be one I always look back at with fondness and nostalgia.
I always really liked that Ashley Tisdale played Maddie in Sweet Life and Sharpey in HSM. It helped me conceptualize that actors can take on roles that are completely different from their actual personalities.
It helps kids begin to untangle the character from the actor, and see them as separate people.
In my opinion, Typecasting in children’s media is a disservice to both actors and children viewers
This was so interesting, i was a few years too old for any of these shows (also because watching anything younger than your age was considered baby-ish, so a 14 yr old me was "too old" for this stuff
Miley’s music is so much better now ! How can you not like it!
I was born in 2001, I live in Italy, and I didn’t have Wi-Fi until 2015-2016… so I watched Disney channel from 2008/9 to 2014 more or less… I remember my love for Hannah Montana and my obsession with Lemonade Mouth. I remember it as an easier time… I hope that the actors can now find help for what they suffered. I really love the work they did and I also hope that their first works get the recognition it deserves.
This was really interesting! All of this was *just* after my time, so I didn't follow any of it (I grew up with the 90s Nickelodeon shows like "All That" instead haha). Thank you for another neat deep dive!
I listen to Selena’s early early music to this day tbh
hit the lights >>>
I think the decision to film HSM in Utah wasn't all that much to do with religion. Lots of smaller budget productions get filmed here because it's within a day's drive of LA but the property values are (well, at least they were) cheaper so there's less overhead for filming. Also acting and musical theatre are really popular in Utah so there's lots of local talent to use as extras. The Sandlot was also filmed in Utah, as well as Andi Mack, and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
And probably generous tax incentives. There's a reason Atlanta is now one of the biggest production hubs in the United States.
I never thought as HSM being Christian coded until I remembered the first time I saw it was in 2006 at a church youth group sleepover 😂
I don't understand how HSM was Christian coded.
Ah yeah, 2005 to 2012 Disney was my jam, and then I realised my obsession over Bella Thorne was not a tween idol situation but a full on crush.
Gonna have to re-listen Kiss and Tell, a truly underrated album. That critic clearly wasn't 11 and wanted to come back from school break as a blonde.
Disappointed So Weird didn't get a mention but I get it.
I only found the show a couple years ago but it's really good frankly.
your channel is a safe space
Zac Efron had an accident where he fell and broke his jaw. That’s why he looks different now- he needed surgery to fix it. He didn’t just get plastic surgery for vanity.
Ok, I also thought High school musical the musical the series would be bad but after watching it it's actually really sweet and it's own thing and surprisingly openly queer
I loved “CITH” so much! I was a Suite Life/Hannah Montana/That’s So Raven and Corey In The House stan in my youth hahahahah
I hear what you're saying about letting kids be enjoy media that's not that deep and allowing them to have that bubble gum pop phase, which is so often dismissed or mocked by adults.
But I'm not sure that I agree with your point that tweens can't or shouldn't be expected to sing or talk about deep topics. I think kids are deeper than we usually give them credit for, and I worry that in criticizing the trend of wholesale dismissal fluffy media for kids, we're forgetting the actual extent of what kids are capable of understanding. Just wanted to add that perspective.
I vaguely watched tween stuff, I was more on the internet and reading books than watching television. Wow I didnt know lizzie mcguire was only 2 seasons😂😅
HEADSTRONG was sooooo good omggggg me and my friends were SO obsessed! he said she said omg lol iykyk its honestly good
As a Disney kid of the 2000s, this was a nice video. I really appreciate it and still love some of those shows.
Anyway, my favorite Disney channel shows were the obvious ones: Suite Life, Hannah Montana, Kim Possible, American Dragon, That's So Raven, Sonny With A Chance, Wizards of Waverly Place and Good Luck Charlie.
I am of course, a High School Musical fan. But I also liked Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior since I've always been a fan of martial arts shows and movies. Jump In is also an underrated gem.
SEND IT ON
i need to watch high school musicial someday to check if i still remember all songs' lyrics
thanks for the history lesson
Side note this isn’t even my side of this app but “When you look me in the eyes” by The Jonas Brothers was amazing.
I have a few favorite Disney Channel movies, but my top favorites are ones that are a bit more underrated.
1. Pixel Perfect
2. Lemonade Mouth
Both of these movies are my favs because, while they are a bit corny at times, looking back, they both weren't scared to go a bit deeper and touch on slightly deeper and darker themes
the message co written by my friend Aranock at the start? neat
Zac efron had an injury which led to him needing the plastic surgery ?
Oh my gosh, I do remember Mike’s Super Short Show😂
I really hope that you start getting more views. I'd love to see you collaborating with cornbreadtube/leftist creators like FD Signifier and Jessie. I found you through a one-off recommendation from Foreign Man in a Foreign Land, would love to see more of that
1:17:02 I honestly wish there was more of this video - kids/teen media going through adultification because of the rise of social media and how networks like Disney tried to combat it - but then networks like hbo and the CW just raaaaan with it
And now we have a culture that’s less understanding of how tweens & tween mature and mess up but almost a weird standard - I can’t tell you how many people have said Euphoria is both not relatable and should’ve been done with college kids. Now we have an environment where kids don’t feel they can be kids 🤔
20:00 aw come on, the first season was kinda bad but the second one is reeeeeally good. wouldn't call HIMYF a flop, they were just finding their voice! and they did 😭
I guess I should give season 2 a chance!
@@CheyenneLin it's not mind blowing or anything, but as a fan of sitcoms (including all the teen sitcoms back in the day, loving the video btw!), including HIMYM, it was just a really fun time, y'know?
I agree, season 1 was a bit shaky but I really enjoyed season 2.
I lost track of all the things you said to like the video for if you remember but thought you should know I remember them all. XD
The concept of the so-called "tween" phase is a good point.
Every time you say "HSM," I keep thinking HS*N*. Lol.
Excellent video as always. I look back fondly on these Disney moments, but ultimately they groomed me to be more susceptible to sxual abse in all seriousness.
it's crazy how so much has changed but maybe not the best way and they sld bring back tween shows but then again, a lot of damage of tween stars was bad enough I'm glad they didn't
Alex Russo is one of the best Disney Channel characters ever! (next to London Tipton from Suite Life)
Yes! I love her character arc in the wizards movie
@@CheyenneLin YES!!! I love the way she did that big scene with her brother when she realizes that he still has that curse and she is really stressing out and we see her open up to him about why she teases him and that part of it was because of her own insecurities and being made to feel like she couldn't live up to him.
Alex grew up so well by the end of the show. I think the reason why she is my personal favorite was because I'm a middle child like her and always felt like I couldn't academically live up to my sibling despite the fact that I didn't need to make superior grades in my academics to be smart and intelligent. Her growing up and learning to do things on her own was one of the best crowning touches to her arc ever! I still relate to her. Especially, in the later seasons when she grows up and becomes more of an adult. Learning to adult is hard, but it can ultimately make you feel proud in the end because it can feel like a major accomplishment to you. The scene where she makes spaghetti is the most realistic I've ever seen lol
Hannah Montana was around the time I started phasing out of Disney, and it was largely because I could not stand that show specifically. I don’t know how to explain what I disliked about the show though, something just always felt off to me, I could enjoy the show here and there but it just always gave me a bad feeling when I watched it. As the show continued, anytime I watched it I just found myself wondering what the actors were going through and how they actually felt being on the show, and this was before any of their struggles/complaints started becoming public. Everyone else was obsessed with it and I never found people that shared my feelings, so I kept my thoughts to myself because I didn’t want to sound like I was just finding faults with something they loved.
And then all of the shows that came after, just didn’t hit for me. I know a lot of people love shows that came after/during Hannah Montana, but they all started giving me a weird cringy vibe even if some parts were enjoyable.
I worked as a nanny so even though I wasn’t watching Disney shows for myself, I was still regularly up to date because of the wide range of kid ages I worked with.
I guess all that was me wondering if I’m the only one that has been getting bad vibes from Disney since the debut of Hannah Montana? Disney was full of issues before that, but they seemed to really just tumble downhill in the way the treat their actors and supporting roles and the types of shows they put out after that.
The villains of valley view is the only Disney channel show that is good the characters remain be of the Russo siblings
Personally, I don't really have a history with Disney Channel (we didn't even get cable until I was in middle school, and even then I rarely had control of the remote). As far as music outside of Disney Channel, I agree that Demi has a great voice (and some great songs), even if she's still problematic in some respects. But I also really love the music Miley's been putting out recently - her queer vibes are just fabulous.
Please you also are from NJ and knew adjacent people to the Jonas brothers just like me. There were people like me.
Growing up, I hated Cory In The House, even when I lived in Qatar for a short while when my father worked for Qatar Gas. It felt riddled with clichés and insensitivities to my 11-year-old self. I genuinely don't understand how it became the ironic meme known as the "best anime ever."
Brenda Song's singing ability might have played some role in why Disney never gave her a pop singing career or uplifted her acting career as much as some of the other Disney Channel stars; but it definitely wasn't the main reason why. [Selena Gomez's music career is may be thriving compared to Miley's and Demi's, but it is not because of her singing ability. Selena Gomez isn't as musically talented as Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato; but her reputation isn't as "tainted" as Miley's and is considered more conventionally attractive than Demi.] The main reason why Disney didn't care about Brenda Song as much as some of the other Disney Channel stars was because she is not white (nor was she multiracial like Vanessa Hudgens, Zendaya, Haley Kiyoko, & Olivia Rodrigo) and isn't a Christian and is part of a racial minority that already doesn't have a lot of people in the arts, music, & entertainment industries in the USA; hence why she usually gets supporting roles and rarely gets main leading roles. Because she is a gal of color that is neither part-white nor white-passing nor Christian - Brenda Song is mixed but she's not multiracial (she's pan-Asian; of Thai and Hmong descent in her case) - she will never be viewed as the "girl next door" type or the "all-American girl" type in white people's eyes. [The irony is that Brenda Song stayed relatively clean (even after she stopped being a Disney channel star) - but that is not a shock to anyone that is Asian and grew up with Asian parents - while almost of the devout Christian white Disney channel tween stars didn't upheld to the squeaky clean image they claim to be both during and after their time on Disney.]
First was Hilary Duffand later Miley were my faves.
Stuck in the Suburbs may have been my favorite DCOM
my friends Disney channel star is Kevin Jonas
How I Met Your Father is actually pretty good. It got not the best ratings but it actually got increased from 10 to 20 episodes in season 2 because Hulu was confident after the first season.
I gave up watching it after the first few episodes because it just felt cringey and soulless to me
It has no business trying to ride on the coattails of HIMYM, the new show throws out all of the things that made its predecessor work and only gets by with really dumb callbacks to the original. And the way they’ve brought back characters from the original has been terrible as well.
If they had made the show its own it wouldn’t come off so terribly, its just a generic slice of life sitcom that can’t keep its story straight, which would be fine if they weren’t trying to wrap it up as a “clever” gender twist on something that was actually cohesive.
20:05 Is it really a flop? It got a 20 episode second season and according to media play news, it was in the top five most watched streaming original series every week during its second season. It was also Hulu’s most watched original series each week an episode was released. I know most of the hard core HIMYM fans hate it, but someone besides me appears to like it.

Its Cory in the House! here we go
