Now when I say 'teen scene' I mean like the Disney Channel or Nickelodeon shows. Not those shows on networks like the CW that are supposedly 'teen' shows, but are really for a more mature crowd. For example Supernatural or Gossip Girl, which of course I love both. More so with Gossip Girl, the show centers around teenagers and is for teen, just older teens.
What I mean is the younger teen shows. Such as Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, ICarly, or some of the other ones they still show in re-runs. I can honestly say that I'm a fan of Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and yes I'll even admit that I like the Jonas Brothers.
Does this mean that at 22, almost 23, I'm still stuck in my adolescents? Or does it mean I'm slightly crazy? But if you really think about it we're all somewhat crazy, in our own eccentric ways. Whether I'm crazy or not doesn't change that I enjoy watching these shows.
Although, there aren't as many good ones these days, as there used to be. The teen shows on the Disney Channel and Teen Nick have gone down hill. Ever since Drake and Josh, Unfabulous, or even Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, the ideas for new shows are either the same, over done, or just not good.
Despite all of this there still are some good ones left, and I certainly watch them. If you're like me and still watch these types of shows, the ones I've mentioned are worth watching. As well as Sonny With a Chance starring Demi Lovato and the new Jonas Brothers show Jonas.
I actually love iCarly and I'm 18 so your not the only one. (I'm not so keen on the other stuff like Disney) I will say that it reminds me of the more "innocent" days, so maybe that could be a reason.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you just like these shows because they give you pleasant memories of your childhood, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, I prefer to watch educational shows like those on Discovery and the History Channel and crime shows like Burn Notice, Psych, Monk, and Law and Order: SVU on USA.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Disney went downhill the minute that they signed up Hannah Montana. She is a great singer, but horrible actress! At around the same time, they canceled That's So Raven, which was my favorite show for a long time. These TV shows are just vehicles for kids to buy music labels and toys.
Glad you're back, and I hope that you can see this latest post of mine:

I like lots of different types of shows. I even have a post about the awesome horror station called Chiller.
ReplyDeleteAs for That's So Raven, I actually couldn't stand that show. I felt that that actress couldn't act. But everyone is entitled to there own opinion.
Thanx for the comment.
"I love orange soda!"
ReplyDeleteI remember Kenan and Kel :)
Kenan and Kel, that was a good one.
ReplyDelete"I do, I do, I dooo."
sometimes I run across one of these shows and will watch it, I do not think there is anything wrong with catching up on some Disney channel! However, I do not have a tv any longer so I am left in the dark :(
