The time that was...

Ah... How I miss the old Disney Channel. Now when I say old Disney channel, I mean when Disney Channel programming was at it's prime. When children's television, was family television. The whole family: mom, dad, your annoying teenage brother could watch a Disney show and all laugh and cry. It seems that now, Disney Channel markets things a little different. Their shows are now mostly geared towards girls who care about fashion, boys, and the latest trend. I now groan when someone turns on Disney Channel in my house and I'm forced to watch most of it's mindless garbage that displays nothing.  Shows that once were:

I don't long for the old nostalgic disney shows, but I do long for the same heart and quality that Disney's new shows just don't have. Not only do most of these new shows not focus on family, but they seem to be very superficial. The kids all look like their wardrobes cost more than my future salary, and that life exist to get a date and look hot. That's my problem with the "new" Disney, the shows lack substance. Of course there were recent shows that were entertaining for all ages, like Phineas and Ferb or Gravity falls) but most of them have ended or fell through the cracks. All I can hope for is that someone at Disney will realize what people want to see. What are your thoughts?
