"Andi Mack" is Cancelled!?!

        I was planning on writing about the importance of theme songs, but here I am, writing about the cancelation of one of my favorite Disney Channel tv series.          I don't think much can be done about the cancelation now. I should have seen it coming, every four or so years, a new era begins in Disney Channel, and with it, it's old shows are discontinued. I don't want to say that "Andi Mack" will die with the new era, because I know that it will live on to remind Disney Channel viewers of its import impact.          "Andi Mack" has made Disney Channel history, by covering topics like teen pregnancy, learning disabilities, hearing deficiencies and celebrating diversity. The show talks about military families, cultural diversity, lgbtq+ acceptance, the importance of therapy, and anxiety. I think this is one of the most progressive Disney Channel shows to air.          I remem...

Why I Write About Children's Programming

               The reason that I write mostly about children's programming is that it's something that is important to me. It's a big part of my life and who I am today.         The main reason why Disney Channel (+ their branched off channels like Disney XD) and Nickelodeon (+ their branched off channels like TeenNick), for example, have a big part of many people's childhoods or memories is because of the nostalgia and good feelings that may relate to these corporations.

My Favorite/Best Disney Channel Moments (Part 2)

Basically, this is the same concept as the first part but includes different clips. Please if you haven't go and read part one too. Of course, there are going to be major spoilers and all rights obviously go to their respective owner.         The first scene I'm going to be talking about is from the 2015 DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie), "Invisible Sister". Personally, I think this whole movie is a metaphor and stands on its own even though it's part of Disney Channel's 'Monstober'. The movie's premise is how Cleo (played by Rowan Blanchard), a smart yet unsocial girl accidentally turns her popular sister, Molly (played by Paris Berelc), invisible. Both sisters go on a journey trying to turn Molly visible again but learn to empathize with one another more and more. Eventually, becoming closer than ever.          During this scene, Cleo tries to apologize to her sister after their argument, where Molly pushes Cleo ...
