People calling stuff from 2000 "Old Disney Channel?" I don't think so

There are people on the internet are starting to be nostalgic about the "old Disney Channel" which was the stuff that came on about 2000.  But I don't see much of the different and most of these people are trying to sound like "old nostalgia freaks" are not creating too much of a generation gap because this new Disney Channel is the same generation.  Of course, you have your old school Disney Channel such as Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, Boy Meets World, Sister Sister...this is not even "old school" Disney.  The old Disney Channel is Donald Duck and Goofy, The Nutty Professor, that stuff and shows such as Goof Troop.  I vaguely  remember the really old Disney Channel so quit being so nostalgic for some trend that is still going today.

Lizzie McGuire and Hannah Montana are about the same package.  Phineas and Ferb are about the same thing as The Proud Family back then.  I remember both of these shows - it is the same damn thing.  Disney Channel had lost it's Disney around 1997 for the next generation of people who don't give a crap about Disney, or even don't even know who Walt Disney is...Generation Z.  Zoog Disney - how clever really stands for Generation Z, which is the digital world that Disney is based on and the mature tween sitcoms and boy band/bubblegum acts that the other generation don't really remember.  Unless you are thinking about Generation Alpha being the generation gap of the Disney Channel, it is still Zoog Disney til now.  Disney XD really shows another generational thing - Xtreme Digital for the ones that live in a Xtreme Digital world and they are the children of Generation X.  Very clever.

My roommates have been watching "old school" Disney Channel - what the heck - this is Suite Life of Zach and Cody - Boy Meets World is the same damn thing.  So there is not much change in Disney.

I can see a Disney revival with the "New Disney Hannah Montana I don't know who the f**K these Mouse Ears are about" Generation with the next generation, which might take place in the '10s and '20s, so that will be my children.  For sure, I can see a Disney Renaissance about 2028 in honor of the 100th anniversary of Mickey Mouse with a new theme parks and everything.  But we are still in the dark age of the Disney Channel, which is getting more "adult" every day.
