I have to hand it to Disney. Few corporations can be great at being both good and evil. My hat goes off to you, Disney, for achieving that fine equilibrium. You bring us quality programming for kids—and manage to ruin their lives in the process.
I speak, of course, about the sick and twisted travesty that is Disney television shows. Case in point: Kim Possible. I ranted once before about how Disney ruined Kim Possible by giving it another season. What will Disney do next? Recess: The College Years?! “Will T.J. and Spinelli work things out? While Gus struggles with his sexuality and Mikey with his drug addiction, Gretchen debates: Caltech, or MIT?! This time, on Recess: The College Years…” It’s just…wrong! 
And don’t even get me started on what passes for children’s programming these days. Disney’s poor attempts to subscribe to the subcultural “slang” dialect of the pre-adolescent is just another example.
I’m just getting old…

I think that a lot of the evil went of Disney with the removal of Ei$ner (or as I called him the Ugly Dwarf). 
They’re still struggling to get back to the glory days but I know they’ll get there one day as long as things continue to go well.
The one series I would’ve loved to see continue farther than it did is “Pepper Ann”. I fell in love with it through re-runs on ToonDisney and wished there were more. She was just so quirky and cute!!! 
I agree with you Ben, but at the same time I think that Disney is also trying to appeal it’s shows to parents and older kids as well, to possibly trigger parent child relationships. They may be trying to get parents and their children to interact with each other to keep children close to their parents. But at the same time, they are corrupting kids by exposing them to adult like situations that they may not be old enough to comprehend. It’s really a lose-lose situation if you ask me. Parents should take more initiative in their children’s life, via parks, games and family trips other than handing them the remote controller to keep them occupied, which en tales leads to childhood obesity. Anywho I agree Ben.
