Recently you may be aware that Disney channel is phasing out story driven shows in favor of episodic comedies aimed at young children with future orginal DTVA serialized shows made for Disney plus . This follows in the footsteps of Cartoon Network who has recently abandoned YA seralized shows in favor of kid focused comedies. You may be saying “hey kids deserve seralized shows too. They are not dumb” and the truth is they do. And they are getting seralized shows(like Hilda and Green eggs and Ham) but on streaming services like Netflix and Disney plus. however it’s not simply “kids don’t like serialized” or “we don’t like shows like amphibia or TOH”. It’s a lot more complicated than this and it’s based off of many basic issues that have been for the longest time. In order to fully understand we need to look at why and look at notable examples
- Seralized shows get low rerun ratings.
Serialized programming in general has a major problem in terms of rerun ratings. The main reason for this is that once a person is done watching the first part of the story they will not tune in to the rerun of the episode. While shows like TOH do have rewatch ability this type of rewatch rarely happens on cable. People can’t just tune in to the episode randomly. It’s programmed and you can’t rewatch a show on cable once it’s over(keep in mind not everyone has DVRs). This also creates lower ratings from new viewers who might be tuned in who are confused at what is happening. This is called “continuity lockout” and new viewers of the reruns are more likely to simply tune away. This is evident in the poor rerun ratings of TOH and Star Trek discovery. Throughout the decades every serialized show has had a near consistent history of getting low to poor cable ratings in reruns. Even in premieres on cable they tend to be getting lower ratings in comparison to episodic shows. These types of shows are hard to join midway through for adults and older viewers to keep up with these shows. let alone young children who have a harder time keeping up with seralized storytelling on cable. According to Scott Collins of the LA Times. "serialized storytelling ... though popular with hard-core fans and many critics, requires more dedication from viewers and has almost certainly tamped down ratings for many shows". This is evident in not only the fact that reruns of serialized shows do poorly but the shows that are doing consistently well are episodic. Similarly ATLA was viewed b

This is some years back, but I remember watching the Rodrick Rules film as a kid when it used to play on Disney Channel. For those who's seen the film, you know Rodrick gives back the VHS to Greg and tells him to 'hurry and take it before he changes his mind and puts it on YouTube or something.'
I've seen the original, unedited cut of the film so I know Rodrick says YouTube. If your only exposure to the film was on Disney Channel, however, you would never know that since "YouTube" was censored out. It's mute. All these years since, I've wondered why.
Was it that Disney was not allowed to mention any third-party or uninfiliated website other than the Disney website they owned? Was it for children's safety, because their is some mature content on YouTube - this was before monetization and content restrictions were enforced - that the network didn't want to be held liable to exposing children to? Every kid knew what YouTube was back then, so hearing somebody say it, heck, going to the website themselves was not an uncommon thing so. A few YouTubers such as Fred was even picked up by children's networks like Nickelodeon, so it's baffling why they censored something kids would already know, unless my guesses were fairly accurate.
Was for children I'm pretty sure. So the plot is simple: MC's parents leave, babysitter appears, MC plays videogame, suddenly thunder strikes MC's home and makes it so MC enters the videogame and the main character of the videogame is teleported to MC's hosue (basically switching places), and every episode is MC and some NPCs going through levels, theres also some kind of dark lord. I remember the title screen of every episode was like the MC going through levels via a level map which looked like super mario world.
