Good Luck, Charlie

I'm in my 20s and I like this Disney show. Anybody else?

Well I'm in my 40s and it can indeed be a very funny show.

Disney do actually produce a lot of good quality programing with high production values and great writing; Good Luck Charlie, Shake it Up, My Babysitters a Vampire, Austin and Ally, ANT Farm, Jessie, Life on Deck, Sonny with a Chance, Pair of Kings and so on (in fact I'm sure I read something about Disney being the largest current producer of sitcoms in terms of output, or something like that).

A lot of their cartoon series are bloody good too, my all time favourite being Phineas and Ferb which is utterly brilliant.

HOWEVER the problem is that they are repeated time and time and time again, not just in the same month or the same week but in the same day. Whilst my nine year old daughter seems to possess the ability to watch the same thing again and again and again I have to admit my enjoyment of each episode starts to flag someone when I've seen it multiple times.

So yes, I enjoy them the first time, maybe even the second. But once you've seen the same episode a dozen times "Oh God No" sets in.

Ahh, well I don't have the Disney Channel - it was actually on holiday I first saw it (it was the only English-language channel in the hotel room) and since then I've been getting my fix from youtube So it might annoy me if I was to see it over and over again too.

As for the others, I only liked Shake it Up. Jessie was also funny but only because of the two youngest characters.
