Ok, I feel Disney doesn't care much about their viewers at all. Sure they want to make money(what TV station doesn't?). But it's at the expense at US viewers.
They do take things and shove it down our throats and frankly, I'm tired of it. Yeah, I watched HSM and liked it. But now its a play, ice show....what's next? Are they going to turn it into a television series? And I also watched the second one. It was alright but to be honest I'm glad I didn't have to pay any money to see it.
I was also a fan of Lizzie McGuire and Phil of the Future. I was SO SO SO pissed when I found out the Phil of the Future was over for good. They finally got Keely and Phil together and in the same episode make him leave forever. Plus, in the episode nobody really wanted to go but they left anyway. That made no sense to me.
But back to LWD. It used to be on a lot. But now it's hardly on and they aren't showing a lot of new episodes. And its scaring me because Phil of the Future, Naturally Sadie, and a bunch of other shows have gone down the same path.
Yeah, I also don't get why Miley Cyrus is a role model either. My role model from TV, if I had to pick, would definitely be Ashley Leggat. She's kind, funny, and she goes to important events and stuff. She actually CARES. And we gotta love Mikey too! He's the same way...plus he's just darn adorable. -sighs dreamily as thoughts of Michael Seater fill my head-
Oh shut it. It's all happened to you too. Don't deny it. Haha. Anyways, Disney better not pull the plug on LWD. I will probably be depressed...and you don't even want to know how I'll feel when the show is o-o-v-v-v-er. AHHHHHHH!
*runs into a corner and cries*

Ah, dudes, I can't feel your pain over Disney since I live in Canada, but... if LwD got cancelled here? I'd bawl my eyes out. Probably take a suicide pill, jump out a window... Write an angry letter...
IF LwD EVER gets cancelled in Canada or the States, I shall grab my pitchfork and start an angry mob.
I agree with what some of you said about Hannah Montana -- the shows alright, it makes me laugh rarely, but most of the time I'm throwing rotten fruit at the TV when it comes on. She's ridiculous, y'know? Someone of her age should not be handed all this fame. She's not even that great of an influence over kids...
And High School Musical? I've never seen the first one. In fact, I would've seen it eventually if they didn't publicize it every second. Then I watched HSM 2 for about half an hour -- nearly died from how cheesey it was. No offense to anyone, it's just my opinion, but I couldn't stand how much they were trying to make it "as cool" as Grease and Phantom of the Opera and stuff.
I agree with all of you in everything, you can't imagine how fed up I'm with disney right now.
But we all know how disney is, they found something that gives them good money (call it Hannah Montana, HSM or whatever I don't care), and now they're exploiting it so much that it's getting so unbearable, I'm so bored of disney, I only see it when LwD it's on, the rest of the time it's not worthy, 'cause it's always the same, HSM this, HM that, urgh! I hate it!. What happen with the good shows? As people said before what happened with Phil of the future? ok it wasn't like LOST but it was a good show, and they cancelled it. And with LwD they're doing the same, yeah, they can't cancel it 'cause it's not theirs, but they are mistreating this show, that in my opinion it's the best disney has nowadays, and why?
1) Because they have the great holy Hannah Montana (argh) that help them fill hours and hours with trash tv, let it be said that I was fan of the show at the beginning.
2) The same, but changing HM for High School Musical. I can't believed I liked the first one, I was so naive back then.
3) Because LwD could be a serious threat to their own productions, let's be realistic, LwD it's a show with a sense of humour, that has nothing in common with the current series disney it's producing, it's more realistic and in some way more mature (all a "kids" show could be) than the others series.
The fans of this show are usually teenagers, and they aren't the main target to disney channel, at least now. They aim more to the tween crowd, 'cause they are more influenced than teenagers and it's easier sell them all the merchandising and stuff. I didn't expressed it well, but what I'm trying to say is that LwD is making them lost money, or at least not gaining the same money they get with their own shows. That's why they are promoting the so mentioned shows over and over again. I won't be surprise if they decide not to air the 4 season, at the path they're going that's what it seems.
And 4) The Dasey issue. Do you really think they're going to keep airing LwD if the show finally heads towards Dasey? We're talking about disney here people!!, they have censored some scenes of the show before because in their so conservative, retrogades and closed minds, they thought they weren't "appropiated" to the viewers. If Dasey happens, more than a half of the fans will have to see it by youtube.
I really hope disney see the mistake they are making, by letting a great show like this get so mistreat, 'cause if they continue this they are going to lose a lot of viewers and money, that after all it's all about it.
