Disney Channel sitcoms (2009-2012)

While most of the mh:besttvshows:Disney Channel sitcoms from 1983-2008 and 2013 onwards were well received, the same can't be said for most of the ones from 2009 to 2012. The network also gained a bad reputation for pushing them to the front and relegating Mickey Mouse and the gang to shows on Disney Junior and Disney XD.

Why Most of Them Sucked

 * 1) The main problem with these sitcoms is that they don't stay true to the channel's original routes and lack the charm, wit, and creativity of the sitcoms from 1983-2008 and 2013 onwards, and they share many of the same problems as the modern Nickcoms and Viacom's reality shows.
 * 2) Many bad sitcoms from this era, such as:
 * 3) * Jonas (which started the downfall of the Disney Channel sitcoms)
 * 4) * Shake it Up
 * 5) * Season 4 of Wizards of Waverly Place
 * 6) * A.N.T. Farm
 * 7) * So Random!
 * 8) * Dog with a Blog
 * 9) Terrible writing that consists of the following things:
 * 10) * Poorly executed or done parodies.
 * 11) * Unfunny puns and/or jokes that drag on far too long, gross-out humor, and generally obnoxiously annoying humor.
 * 12) * Insulting the intelligence of their audience and treating them like a bunch of idiots.
 * 13) * Pure filler padded in whenever needed.
 * 14) * Mean-spirited moments.
 * 15) * Childish/nonsensical plots.
 * 16) The acting ranges from being mediocre to laughably bad.
 * 17) Bad morals. For instance, A.N.T. Farm says that you shouldn't stand up for someone when they're getting bullied.
 * 18) They sometimes have unlikable, one-dimensional, obnoxious, annoying, stereo-typical, unoriginal, or cliched characters.
 * 19) * Lexi Reed from A.N.T. Farm is a rip-off of Jade West from Victorious, and that character herself is no better.
 * 20) They try too hard to be hip, modern, cool, and edgy with kids.
 * 21) The special effects in some shows, like Season 4 of Wizards of Waverly Place, are cheap and mediocre looking. Some higher-budget live-action sitcoms have better special effects and look very good for the most part.
 * 22) The sets can look very cheap, boring, and pathetic.
 * 23) Some sitcoms have no character development or redemption.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) These shows do have some good and/or decent episodes.
 * 2) Some of these can have creative concepts but are poorly executed.
 * 3) Some have a few funny moments and jokes that work.
 * 4) There are some good/decent sitcoms in this era, such as:
 * 5) * mh:besttvshows:Sonny with a Chance
 * 6) * mh:besttvshows:Good Luck Charlie
 * 7) * mh:besttvshows:Jessie
 * 8) * mh:besttvshows:Austin & Ally
 * 9) Some of them have good acting, mainly with the good Disney Channel sitcoms in this era.
 * 10) * MOST of the bad sitcom shows had good endings! Here are the examples: "Band of Brothers", "Remember Me", "Who Will Be the Family Wizard", The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex, "The New York ExperiANTs" and "Stan's Secret Is Out" are good examples how to end the series.
 * 11) The theme songs are usually catchy.
 * 12) Some of the Disney Channel sitcoms in this era, like Shake it Up and A.N.T. Farm, did slightly improve over time.
 * 13) Unlike the modern Nickcoms, Disney Channel's sitcoms have improved and gotten redemption since 2013.
