Beloved Childhood Disney Channel Star Is Welcomed Back For Latest TV Spin Off
Eonline

We all have that nostalgia where when we see something and recognize it, we automatically think or say something along the lines of, “that was my childhood.” -- Whether it is a style of clothing, a toy or even perhaps a type of candy.

At times, it may be something that has not even crossed your mind until that one post on Facebook that comes across your wall feed that bares the hashtag “TodaysKidsWillNeverKnow” and shows a picture of a CD player or another fad of when you were a child. Then you are sitting there and remembering using those very things and agreeing with the hashtag that goes along with it.

Now this goes for any generation and not just #IfYouWereANinetysKid. It applies to practically everything. Things that you saw in school such as a certain trademark or brand that can go along the lines what you were going to listen to that day. Then there is recognizing the feeling you get because of something such as looking at an object or a scene and knowing what it meant.

For example, walking into class and seeing what would be considered today as an old fashion TV sitting on a rolling cart with a VHS player on the shelf below. Then you have the colorful parachute and rolling scooters that you ran your fingers over with, knowing that it was going to be a fun gym class.

You have these pictures that show one thing, yet conjure up many other memories from the past. An interesting thing about that ability, is that for the most part, it is universal within that selected age group of people. The recognition and feelings shared are similar, if not the same.

Again, the thought of, “that was my childhood,” can be made towards anything. Lately, TV shows have been more of the subject matter. Many take to social media to share the thoughts that shows from years back are better than those aired today, prompting companies such as Disney Channel to create segments like “Throwback Thursdays,” where shows previously aired circa 1990s-2010s.

Not only is Disney Channel re-airing old shows, but even giving a few a 2.0 face-overs. We have seen it in the past with shows cancelling, announcing the premiere of a spin-off.

“The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” cancelled in 2008 after three years to continue on with, “The Suite Life on Deck” for an additional three years before retiring the story-line in 2011.

“Jessie’s” first episode premiered in 2011 and its' last, in 2015. Shortly before “Jessie” ended, its spin-off, “Bunk’d,” aired a few weeks prior.

We seen it again with "Sonny with a Chance" and its spin-off, "So Random."

Probably the most iconic spin-off right now is “Girl Meets World." However, its predecessor, 1993’s “Boy Meets World,” network was not originally the Disney Channel, but ABC. Fourteen years after the last episode of “Boy Meets World” aired, audiences welcomed grown up Corey and Topanga with a new take on things.

Just recently it was announced that the Disney Channel’s face-overs will continue with another spin-off show. Actually, in this case, it is a second spinoff.

It has been nine years since we've seen Raven Baxter, the Disney Channel iconic psychic, in “That’s So Raven.” The show had a brief spin-off called, “Corey in the House,” which lasted thirty-four episodes focusing on Raven’s younger brother, Corey, and father, Victor.

Embracing the latest trend, that will be no more. Following Raven-Symoné's, exit from “The View,” it was recently announced that she is currently working on an untitled project that will not only bring back familiar characters, but some new faces as well.

This newest spin-off’s synopsis is about Raven being a divorced mother of two in which one child inherited the gift of being able to see the future.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
