From the early 2000s to about 2012, Disney Channel was the best channel for kids to watch. It had everything goofy and funny a kid could want. "Even Stevens" and "Hannah Montana" and all the shows in between made many millennials' childhoods. Here are a few reasons why we miss the old Disney Channel.
1. It made us laugh.
Shows like "Even Stevens,'' "That's So Raven," and even the "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" were hilarious. No other Disney show will top the funny things said on these shows. Things were so funny, like the characters catch phrases we would pick up ourselves and try to be just as funny.
2. The best friends.
In every early 2000's Disney Channel show, there was always a set of best friends. There was a set of best friends somewhere on the channel that was just like you and your best friend. The heartwarming friendships made you love your friends even more.
3. When they brought the shows together.
Does anyone remember when "That's So Raven" stayed at the hotel Zack and Cody lived in and Hannah Montana stayed there, too? That show was awesome. I remember it being a "special," and all of my friends just couldn't wait to watch it. The old Disney Channel did that a lot and it was amazing.
4. The characters had dreams like we did.
Every character on Disney Channel was just like you and I. They went to school, they dealt with crazy friends and family, and they had dreams much like we did growing up.
5. The movies.
Disney Channel original movies in the early 2000's were the best. They were funny, dramatic, suspenseful and everything else that is good for a movie. There are so many I could name: "The Color of Friendship," "Phantom of the Megaplex," "Halloweentown," "Zenon," "The Thirteenth Year," "The Luck of the Irish" and so, so many more. They definitely need to bring those back.
No matter how cool you thought you were in the early 2000's, I'm sure you still watched and loved Disney Channel. These are just a few reasons why we miss it. They say all great things have to come to an end; I say Disney should make a new channel and call it Disney Millennial and bring back all of these old shows and movies. What do you think?
