All of that Disney tween crap is just awful. Pretty much everything on MTV pisses me off. I pay for 500 fucking channels and can't stand 95% of what's on. My wife and kids are the only reason I pay for cable. If I were single, I'd just pop in movies. The good shows can wait until the seasons are compiled, and I can watch 'em straight with no fucking commercials.
Jesus H. Fucking Tapdancing CHRIST do I hate commercials.
Oh, and if you try to get kids to watch what we watched as kids, you might as well try curing AIDS with a bottle of Tums and a Zippo lighter. My kids will watch all 80 Halloweentown movies every year, and Twitches with those fucking twins from Sister, Sister, but try getting them to watch The Monster Squad, and you might as well grow a spare arm from your fucking forehead.
