I understand that most of us are older than people who typically watch the Disney Channel, but as a 20 year old who watches the channel religiously, if you give it a chance it isn't so bad.
About 6 months ago I came down with nasty food poisoning and was stuck on the couch for 3 days. I had no energy to get up and get the remote, so the channel was stuck on Disney Channel and there was nothing I could do about it. I watched it anyway, and the rest is history. The Disney Channel is now my favorite channel, hands down.
The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
Stars: Cole & Dylan Sprouse, Brenda Song, Ashley Tisdale
My Rating: ****
3 Best Episodes: "Commercial Breaks", "Nurse Zack", "Not So Suite 16"
The Suite Life is a great show with good storylines. Of course the main plot revolves around the twins, but London and Maddie can create some good side plots as well. Perhaps the one character who holds everything together is Mr. Moseby, the hotel manager. He spices up the show whenever he appears. Ashley Tisdale's character is also hilarious, and she is pretty hot too.
Hannah Montana
Stars: Miley & Billy Ray Cyrus, Emily Osment, Mitch Musso, Jason Earls
My Rating: ****
3 Best Episodes: "My Boyfriend's Jackson and there's gonna be trouble", "Schooly Bully", "Get Down, Study-udy-udy"
Hannah Montana is another quality Disney show, featuring perhaps the most popular music star in the country right now, Miley Cyrus. The storylines are usually good, except whenver Miley/Hannah and Jake Ryan start to get into serious high drama 8th grade relationships, which in those cases the quality of the show plummets. Apart from those cheesy episodes, this show is always fun to watch. Jackson(Miley's brother) is probably the best character in the show just because every scene he is in is great.
That's So Raven
Stars: Raven Symone, Kyle Massey, Orlando Brown
My Rating: ***
3 Best Episodes: "Party Animal", "The Road to Audition", "True Colors"
Disney Channel's longest running show. Not the best they have, but I still watch it. The storylines invovling Raven usually are lame, but Kyle Massey's character is the real star of this one and makes the show worth watching. Whenver he pairs up with Orlando Brown's character, it makes for some amazing episodes.
Phil of the Future
Stars: Ricky Ulman, Aly Michalka
My Rating: *****
3 Best Episodes: "Age Before Beauty", "Future Jock", "Phil of the Garage"
No longer in production, but this was Disney Channel's best show in my opinion until Life with Derek came along. I am glad the writers chose to make Phil and Keeley FRIENDS instead of LOVERS, as that would probably make the show cheesy and drive it into the ground. Still, Phil and Keeley have great chemistry on screen. And Keeley is very attractive.
Life with Derek
Stars: Michael Seater, Ashley Leggat
My Rating: *****
3 Best Episodes: "House of Games", "Battle of the Bands", "Prank Wars"
A Canadian show that Disney Channel picked up, and I am glad they did, since this is easily Disney Channel's best show, hands down. It is made for more mature audiences, which is rare for the Disney Channel. The on screen chemistry/rivalry between Derek and Casey is top-notch. It always seems like Derek is one step ahead of Casey in whatever they are doing or fighting over, making each episode a wild and entertaining game of cat and mouse until the end.
Cory in the House
Stars: Kyle Massey, Jason Dolly, Mairara Walsh
My Rating: ***
3 Best Episodes: "Rock the Vote", "And the Weenie is", "Air Force one Too Many"
Hit or Miss spinoff of Thats So Raven. Some episodes are great, others are lame. Episodes in which Cory is jonesing over Meena are lame. Episodes in which Cory does what he does best, try one of his get-rich-quick schemes, are great. I wish the President had a larger role though.
Wizards of Waverly Place
Stars: Max Austin, Selena Gomez
My Rating: ****
3 Best Episodes: N/A
A Dallas-based show featuring stars who grew up around where I live. I have a few friends who know the stars of this show. Anyway, it just started last month but has gotten off to a great start. A show about a family of wizards. I wish Selena Gomez were older than 15 years old because she is smoking hot.
Other reasons to watch the Disney Channel: A conservative channel, polar opposite of far-left MTV pretty much. No BS shows, no commercials, something for everyone. Some hot and legal actresses: Ashley Tisdale, Aly Michalka; as well as some up-and-coming hot but not yet legal actresses: Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez
