It's too tweenagy these days. Some of the shows lack originality. Take for example That's So Raven. That show was a pure I Love Lucy Rip Off. (and who can beat Lucy) Zak and Cody? Gag me. I want Vault Disney to return. It could run in the evenings again that would be fine. Truely it would. How cool it would be to see the the original Wonderful World of Disney Shows again. One of my favorite Disney shows where the Whiz Kid films. I wrote a piece about it for Glenn earlier this year. You can read it here http://passamaquoddy.blog.com/2609016/ As for proper manners and good morals presented on the Disney shows. I have to say it's not just Disney that gives children such apparent authority over Mom and Dad. Other studios do it too. I recall a film (of course the name of it escapes me) in which the parents had forbidden there young daughter from entering a talent competition. Not because she lacked talent, but because the competition was aimed at older kids and it was being held in another city. The daughter decides to willingly disobey her parents when her "friends" mother says they are being stupid and that she will personally take her to the competition. Got to love a grown-up that would do that. Guess what? Mom and Dad find out about it after their daughter has left with the other mom and her friend. What happens is pure fantasy. Mom and Dad arrive just in time to learn that their daughter has just won and somehow all is magically forgiven. Even the other mother catches no flack. What the F... is up with that? I've seen this formula used on other shows too. As a parent it bugs me. I enjoyed this episode of TDC's it stirred up some thinking. I miss the early Disney channel. It’s too tweenagy these days.

I could relate to the topics on this weeks show. Two movies from my youth scarred me for life. The Exorcist and Old Yeller. In the words of Phoebe Buffay, "what kind of sick doggy snuff film is this?". Hey Travis, whatca' doing with that gun? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osRX86BYsVg My fondest memories from elementary were the Jiminy Cricket safety films! You can order them on DVD. http://01508f4.netsolstores.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=224 And last, I know what the "codeword" for "Halloween Disco Dancers". Dear Podcasting Cats.
