Disney Channel

**Disney Channel** is an American pay television channel that serves as the flagship property of Disney Branded Television, a unit of the Disney Entertainment division of The Walt Disney Company.

For early Disney Channel (before 2010), Phantomstrider actually loved the channel, as apart form some exceptions (like Quack Pack), he believes most of their cartoons are decent, creative and full of life, like Darkwing Duck and Gargoyles, with his most favorite early Disney Channel cartoons being Phineas & Ferb, and Kim Possible. Strider also liked a lot of the older Disney sitcoms, with SOME exceptions (like Jonas L.A., and Hannah Montana (Strider claims this as the worst Disney show, not just in early Disney Channel, and believes is what started Disney Channel's downfall)). He sees that when he watches many of the good early Disney sitcoms like Lizzie McGuire and Wizards of Waverley Place, he loves that the teen actors looked relaxed, the tone felt pleasant, and that it looked like the kids were actually having fun, as they could be professional but still have fun. He even said that very occasionally, there’s this unique sense of color, vibrancy and beautiful, youthful energy to the good Disney sitcoms, that he couldn’t find in the good Nickelodeon sitcoms (as much as he loves Drake & Josh, and iCarly, they don’t have the uniqueness he sees in the good Disney sitcoms) or any other channel.

As for modern Disney Channel (since 2010), Phantomstrider has overall mixed feelings. On the positive side, he believes the channel's cartoons are still decent for the most part. Apart from some exceptions (like Fish Hooks), he believes modern Disney Channel still has a decent track record with their cartoons, especially with his favorites like Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Gravity Falls, Wander Over Yonder, etc. Even the Mickey Mouse (2013) series he finds more smart and funny than older Mickey Mouse cartoons. On the negative side, however, is a similar problem he has with modern Nickelodeon…sitcoms. Many of the modern Disney sitcoms Strider dislikes a lot, as there were only a few cartoons in his worst Disney shows list. Most of the worst Disney shows list consisted of him talking about how Disney's current sitcoms remain some of the most badly acted embarrassments since modern Nick sitcoms. Strider admits that though the early Disney sitcoms certainly had their gems, Hannah Montana from early Disney Channel started the soon to be streak of bad Disney sitcoms, and by the time we were at Bizaardvark, all the brightness, decency and class the Disney sitcoms might have once had was long gone (though, Strider told his viewers if they wanted him to do a list of the best Disney sitcoms, he’ll do his best to find any modern Disney sitcoms that are actually decent). This is similar to how Strider feels about modern Nickelodeon, where both channels have a decent track record with their modern cartoons and have recovered from their weakest cartoons, but their modern sitcoms still remain the worst part of both channels, which could be why Strider still considers Cartoon Network to be the best of the 3 channels, as they’ve mostly stuck with their decent track record of cartoons and have recovered from their rare mistakes of live-action shows. Overall though, Strider still loves Disney and their decent to perfect works, whether that be cartoons, sitcoms, movies, or their games, Strider is still so glad that Disney still exists, even if their modern main channel is a mixed bag currently.

Also, regardless of how cringy their bad teen sitcoms might get, Strider appreciates that all of Disney Channel's shows (whether good or bad) look not at the nihilistic empty side of life, but focus on brightening the perspective of all their viewers in a balanced and realistic way.

## His Favorite Disney Channel Show

Phantomstrider considers Star vs. the Forces of Evil his favorite Disney Channel show due to its clever humor, colorful visuals and likable main characters.

## His Least Favorite Disney Channel Show

Phantomstrider's adamantly states that his absolute least favorite Disney Channel show is Hannah Montana, generally stating what a monster the singer has become. The element of how Miley Cirus was emotionally scattered and left mentally scarred by the effects of Hannah Montana is generally what Strider states as the most deplorable effects of the show. In fact, the show's movie comes close to being his least favorite Disney movie, only being beaten by Chicken Little, which he considers to be worse. This shows how deeply he loathes this show, as it was also #4 in his Worst Sitcoms video, and as an unmentionable in his Worst Disney Sitcoms video. But like all of Disney's shows, regardless of how cringy this teen sitcom might get, Strider does appreciate that Hannah Montana looks not at the nihilistic empty side of life, but focus on brightening the perspective of all their viewers in a balanced and realistic way. That could be why it was only #4 in Worst Sitcoms of All Time, as Strider then said "And that cannot be said for the later worst sitcoms on this list."
