[HPFGU-OTChatter] Has Disney lost its magic?

Hi. Just my opinion here. 
 
I haven't watched tv in over 20 years. I know that sounds kind of crazy in  
today's world, but I just haven't found any shows that I like to watch on tv 
any  longer.
 
That being said I love old BBC shows, such as "Are you Being Served",  "Robin 
Hood", "The Black Adder", "To the Manor Born" or "Mr. Bean."
 
I haven't found any show that would even care to watch on regular tv though  
in so many years. I may be the only person who has never watched "American 
Idol"  or "Friends" or any of the popular shows. My life keeps me very busy as I 
breed  and show Arabian horses. I also love to read. I am always reading any 
chance I  can get.
 
I have two daughters who are ages 12 and 9. They have grown up with no tv,  
but with plenty of good movies or children's shows on DVD. 
 
My youngest is really into "High School Musical", so in August of 2007 I  
actually got satellite tv. I really only was interested in The Disney Channel  
and Animal Planet really.
 
I am actually very pleased with the Disney Channel. They have some really  
cute family shows on. My girls really love "Hannah Montana", "The Suite Life of  
Zac and Cody", "Life with Derek", "That's so Raven" and "Cory in the House".  
What darling shows. Some can be kind of stupid, but they really are 
enjoyable. 
 
Personally I don't like "Wizards of Waverly Place". I find it really stupid  
and poorly written. It had the potential to be so much better. I did see the  
commercials for what did look to be a spoof on HP. 
Everyone knows I am such a HP fan, yet I only took this as a form of  
flattery. We never did watch the episode, so I have no idea of how well done it  was 
or not.
 
We also get Nick and the girls really love "Drake and Josh" and "Zoey 101",  
but most of the other shows on there are really awful in my opinion. Of course 
I  can't say I have watched many others as the previews just look so 
horrible.  There is a show called "The Naked Brothers" and it looks like it is a rock 
band  made up of grade school age children. That just seems so wrong to me. 
Maybe it  is a nice show, but it just seems to be to be very wrong. Let children 
be  children, is my belief-- not  rock stars or a lifestyle of a teen. 
 
Again this is all just my opinion and I am by far the least educated when  it 
comes to television shows.
 
Hugs,
 
Cathy, who prefers a good book to any tv show any  day.
