There have been billions of tv networks out there made for young television viewers, but one of the most popular tv channels made for kids and teens is Disney Channel. Disney channel started in 1983 and is still very popular today. This channel is full of great shows that most of us remember from our childhood, like “That’s So Raven” and “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.” Looking at Disney now, you’ll see new shows and movies, such as “Liv and Maddie,” “K.C undercover,” and “Descendants” In my opinion, Disney has not changed for the better. The old disney Channel is better than the new disney Channel for many reasons, the newer shows wear expensive clothes and Disney selects mostly actors and actresses that are underweight.

Also, the dialogue in the shows are written and spoken as if they’re trying too hard to fit in with the times.“The acting looks so insincere and detached,” senior Janelle Chang said, “I couldn’t imagine trying to relate to these characters growing up.” The writers try to make the actresses and actors use slang that they think are relevant, but it just sounds weird and no one says the slang they use. Also the casts of the newer shows are not well known and after the shows are cancelled they have not done any major roles in anything since Disney Channel. The older shows are more well known and the casts are very successful. Everyone has heard of “High School Musical” and “Halloween Town” but not much of the newer movies. The older shows like “Hannah Montana” , “Lilo and Stich” , and “Lizzie McGuire” are more well known than the newer shows. Also the casts are very famous. Like Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, the Jonas Brothers, Zac Efron, and many more. Also the older shows have much better ratings and people still watch them today even though Disney does not make them

Poppele once said,“Television’s future is as expansive as the human mind can comprehend.” This is true considering the enormous advances that have been made in the television industry, since Philo Farnsworth first demonstrated it to the public in 1927.

    Everyone had that one show you watched or remember watching all the time, these shows catch young children’s attention with their highly stylistic visuals, loveable characters, or respectable morals that you could take into adulthood; sometimes all three. While most people watched shows like SpongeBob, or Ed, Edd, and Eddy, the show I most remember watching was more adult oriented, all possible jokes aside the show that affected my childhood the most was Seinfeld.
