Why did people say this channel was going downhill in the early 2000s? That was the best time for The Disney Channel. You had reruns of Pepper Ann, The Weekenders, Recess, House of Mouse, and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, awesome original animated series like Proud Family, Kim Possible, Lilo and Stitch, and Dave the Barbarian, and awesome original live action series like Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, Thats So Raven, and Phil of the Future. Not to mention Playhouse Disney was a great little kids block with some great shows like Bear in the Big Blue House, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Wiggles, Stanley, The Little Mermaid, Madeline, Rolie Polie Olie, JoJo's Circus, The Koala Brothers, Higglytown Heroes, PB&J Otter, Out of the Box, and The Book of Pooh. Plus, if you missed the Disney Afternoon cartoons, Toon Disney had you covered. The early 2000s was the best time for Disney TV

Dunno how it was for America, but the UK channel had movies every evening at 7. Was pretty comfy.
Best time for Disney was in the mid-2000s with Jetix. Prove me wrong
>original live action series like Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, Thats So Raven, and Phil of the Future
Just answered your own question. Animation and classic material got increasingly pushed off the network and Toon Disney wasn't really an answer because it was a digital cable overflow bin channell the same as Boomerang.
Toon Disney had the best originals you retard
The channel had child stars' lifeforce sucked out of them and immediately discarded once they're 18
>Jetix
A man of culture, I see. But seriously, Jetix was a great channel:
>varied content; original and acquired
>the french putting their most kino shows in it
>obscure and underlooked anime has a moment to shine
I agree.
Biggest push for original animated series happened in 2001-2004. It's pretty clear you were not around to remember this era.
come back when you lineup was as good as disney afternoons, faggots........
HEH
FUCKING 00s THINK THEIR SHITTY SHOWS WERE EVEN 1/10TH AS GOOD AS GARGOYLES...
>FUCKING 00s THINK THEIR SHITTY SHOWS WERE EVEN 1/10TH AS GOOD AS GARGOYLES...
Gargoyles isn't even the best Weisman show... and the dude only made like 5 of them
When did House of Mouse play?
Because nostalgia. No matter what decade it is, no matter how good things are, everyone's going to bitch about everything and act like sturgeon's law didn't apply until they became an adult.
I guarantee is a decade or so the 2010s are going to be the new "golden age" while the 2030s are the new "dark age".
Pic related.
Wait, what? Isn't spongebob from the 90's?
It's from the 90s in the same way EEnE was. It's culturally much more rooted in the 2000s.
>I guarantee is a decade or so the 2010s are going to be the new "golden age"
2010s nostalgia is DOA, user. Nostalgia will end with the 2000s.
After that people will just latch onto current shit and forget the past.
Oh yeah because the CN real faze of cartoon network was actually a masterpiece. Face it some ages in CN and Nick are just bad and you're just being contrarian that they werent because it makes you feel "different"
Patrician Choice my guy
Autism speaks
Or you know, maybe it's not nostalgia but, get this, the quality of shows actually decreased and gotten worse overtime.
Prove it
Disney Channel died with Zoog Disney in the late 90s. Switched from multi-genre Disney-centric programming to tween sitcoms
Disney Channel had a lot of animation stuff in the early 2000s. Just look at their Weekday lineup from Early 2003 and their Weekday lineup from Late 2003

Not him but is right, though not just for Disney. We'll probably never see shows like W.I.T.C.H., ATLA, Teen Titans, TMNT '03, Megas XLR, Samurai Jack, Kim Possible, Duck Dodgers, or The Batman ever again. Needless to say, they're 2001-05.
in your eyes they won't. NickRewind is a rebrand of NickSplat and featured fucking VICTORIOUS in a promo
you don't have to spoiler W.I.T.C.H.
Spongebob came out in 99 iirc. But its popularity took off during the early 2000s
This post literally reads exactly like a forum post from the 2000s.
They still had cartoons though
It triggers some anons, and I don't want to distract from the main point too much.
Nobody could write that in the 2000s. The hindsight wasn't there yet. And some of those shows had new episodes quite late into the decade anyways
No, I mean replace all the 2000s cartoons with 90s cartoons and it reads like it's from the 2000s. People fucking loathed TT when it first aired for being "anime" in the exact same way they hate TCR for being "calarts" today. It's actually kind of amusing how little changed since then
There's always nostalgiafags obviously but there's a real quality difference. For the record I watched about half the list in in the 2010s, so zero nostalgia there. Current cartoons are shit
>Introduced me to the kino that was Gargoyles because I was too zoomer to catch it's original run time
Absolutely based channel
Sounds like you were also too zoomer to realize Jetix had its own but better Gargoyles-tier show. With Weisman on board too, no less.
Nostalgiafagging ain't all it was cracked up to be
I couldn't prove you wrong even if I wanted to.
Jetix was by far the best era of the early 00's of Disney there is.
>early 00's
But that's the point, you're wrong.
Jetix was 2004-09. So not early 2000s at all
Still the best era of Disney, even with my fuck up. So still didn't prove the OP wrong.
yeah i liked a lot of the animated movies this decade. but i agree tv definitely went downhill
Why would W.I.T.C.H. trigger anons here?
OP specifically said early 2000s
Animated movies have always been pretty shitty, but this decade they got worse anyways. 0/2 user
Because Yea Forums hates the show for being unpopular, and thus not nostalgic for most anons on here.
Because there's an autistic user who's obsessed with the show to a religious degree. Mentioning it is a great way to summon him.
There are W.I.T.C.H. threads occasionally, but they usually devolve into a.) porn or b.) this one guy trying to convince everyone that W.I.T.C.H. is the pinnacle of western animation.
Said user posts about it so much only because of though, and if it wasn't intrinsically despised by Yea Forums the user would have left the board long ago.
No, Yea Forums hates it because of him or should I say, you
Said user started posting about it in 2017.
The archives have Yea Forums hating on it in 2016, and 2015, and 2014, and... you get the picture.
I've watched a few episodes. It's not a bad show, but it's just average and not that memorable. It might be more appealing to people who are into the magical girl genre.
You can't judge an extremely continuous show by a few episodes like that. If you liked the first few, you will probably love the rest. It just gets better
A lot of Disney started to feel like children's programming rather than something for All Ages. It couldn't really compete with the fact that I was growing up.
Rule of thumb: If a cartoon/show comes out in the last couple of years of the decade, I don't consider it a part of that decade, unless it had an incredibly short run (I wouldn't consider Chowder/Flapjack 2000s shows if they continued to run in the 2010s)
>that point in time where disney channel outsourced shows from canada
This had to be the most boring thing any kids channel could show. Even Steven Universe has more shit going on than pic related.
I think that's the issue with Yea Forums in general. Western animation is weirdly heterogeneous compared to most other mediums. Different shows are produced vastly differently from eachother and have completely different styles and approaches to storytelling.
You can't have a unified cartoon community because what people consider to be a good cartoon varies vastly. Some people consider comfy slice of life shows with simple, rounded art is the best. Others think that's boring and consider realistically drawn action shows with lots of drama to be the peak of animation. Others still think that both are lame and only like wacky comedies with fluid animation and tons of violence.
I tried watching modern Disney Channel a few weeks back with my nephew. Nostalgia aside, the quality really has unironically dropped. None of the shows felt like they had any real soul to them. Just generic sitcom plots churned out with the most mundane of actors they could muster up. I feel like Disney really should create a Boomerang style channel by this point and just dump their old catalog there on rerun hell until they decide to kill it off for something dumber.
>Just generic sitcom plots churned out with the most mundane of actors they could muster up. I feel like Disney really should create a Boomerang style channel by this point and just dump their old catalog there on rerun hell until they decide to kill it off for something dumber.
Well to be fair even back then, they sucked the souls out of all their actors. Have you seen Eddie from That's So Raven lately? That man has gone off the deep end. Still weird that they somehow got Jake Paul to be in one of their shows.
I'm sorry if I misunderstood that comment because I think I did misunderstand it.
Except that unlike just about every other cartoon the show in question nails basically every category. See also So that already tired excuse simply falls flat here.
