Just because I have to say this:
 * First off, what are we doing? Seriously? WHAT ARE WE DOING? We're just hating on an American basic cable and satellite television network. Wow. If people hate it so much, they don't have to watch it. But they do. Shows get who knows how many views (well over 1 million). That's because they appeal to the audience. Disney Channel is directed to ages 9-14. Some shows just aren't meant to appeal to certain audiences.
 * Secondly, we can't complain about plots of Disney Shows. Disney has been airing for almost 30 years now. Has anyone here even been alive for that long? No? I didn't think so. Disney has premiered about/ over 50 TV series. Do you know how many seasons/ episodes that is? Trust me. It's a lot. And making a new plot for each episode? That's hard. I give them props. Sure, some of them may not meet to every single person's likes and expectations, but at least they have them. Disney Channel’s series also have a smaller writing staff compared to other broadcast and cable network scripted TV series (usually 6 credited writing staff instead of the 8 to 11 writers standard with most scripted series. If anyone can think of a series that can have about/ over 30 episodes with completely different plots and repeat that for (even) 2 years, then tell me. I would like to know how that works out.
 * Thirdly, these stars go to Disney Channel because that’s where “stars are born” or how ever people want to consider it. I’m pretty sure most people never even heard of Selena Gomez until “Wizards of Waverly” place came out. The same with Good Luck Charlie with Bridget Mendler (okay, she was on Wizards of Waverly Place, but that’s not the point). And the same with Zendaya Coleman on “Shake It Up!” I’m pretty sure half of the people didn’t even know about Ross Lynch and R5 until Austin & Ally.
 * Next, Disney always replaces shows. “In with the new, out with the old”. It happens. A lot of people were sad when “The Suite Life” series finished, but then came this show, and lots of people like it, too. We’re just assuming every show is horrible, when in reality, it’s not.
 * This is an Austin & Ally Wikia. If people “hate” Disney so much, they can go write a letter to them and give their advice.
 * About the singing/ music. Everyone is somehow modified. Not completely auto-tuned, but modified. They probably all have good voices naturally, but Disney sometimes needs to tweak it slightly to make it better. A live performance never sounds the same as an album.
 * About the actors. Everyone will let a word slip. They are only human. For example, Jessie1010 wrote the word “pissed”. Wow! That person’s an admin! They shouldn’t be saying that! Whoa! C’mon. Everyone let’s a word slip. It’s not the end of the world. It will happen.
 * The actors have hobbies and things they want to do. Ross has R5. He had that way before Austin & Ally. Also, with their EP coming out soon, I’m not surprised that he spends a lot of time with R5. Also, Austin & Ally was already filmed, so Ross can do what he wants to do.

I’m not going to vent about what’s wrong with Disney. I’m going to congratulate Disney Channel and its writer and whoever else for working so hard to make Disney a great show and for trying to please its viewers even though, through this, we seem like a bunch of spoiled little kids. I think I addressed everything I really needed to. I’m sorry if I offended anyone, but I can have an opinion. But before anyone goes and calls me out about this. Just think this: “What am I doing?”
