I have a tween-aged girl in the household, so we watch a fair amount of
Disney Channel. I'll come clean and even announce that
Miley Cyrus,
The Cheetah Girls, and Demi Lovato share iPod space with AC/DC, Jeff Beck, and Aerosmith. Hey, those Disney Channel tunes are catchy, and they're easy to dance, I mean, walk to. I draw the line at the
Jonas Brothers, though.
But about 10 minutes into the new
Cheetah Girls: One World movie the other night, my daughter looked at me and said, "I was really hoping these Cheetah Girls movies would get better." Yeah, me, too.
I actually liked the first two movies, in 2003 and 2006, respectively. The second, directed by
High School Musical alum Kenny Ortega, was a downright cute tale about the Girls' escapades in Spain.

I know you've all been wondering if the Jonas Brothers squash the machine that is Zac Efron. Well, they can ... kind of.
Camp Rock averaged 8.9 million viewers on Friday night. That's more viewers than
High School Musical, which had 7.8 million for its debut. However, 8.9 million pales in comparison to last summer's 17.2 million (ZOMG!) viewers for
High School Musical 2. And it proves that the Efron is unstoppable and more bankable. In fact,
High School Musical 2 is the most watched non-sports program on cable.
Joal Ryan of E! Online points out that
Camp Rock could still beat
High School Musical overall, "The Jonas Brothers are far bigger stars than Efron or any of his costars were in January 2006, when the first
HSM premiered." He goes to say that the real test of
Camp Rock will be if it has the ability to rule the ratings in the inevitable many,
many reruns.

ABC will be airing Disney favorites this summer every Saturday evening. John Goodman, the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, and Jamie Lee Curtis are just a few of the special guest hosts who will be hosting these "movie nights."
From the looks of the schedule, ABC is showing mostly newer Disney films. While I love films like
Monsters Inc., I wish ABC would pay tribute to the older Disney movies like
Robin Hood,
The Sword in the Stone, and
Cinderella.
I have the full schedule after the jump. The Disney extravaganza starts this coming Saturday, June 14th.

May I please have the attention of all of those parents who have taken out a second mortgage from purchasing anything and everything related to the Disney supermega-hit Hannah Montana. Are you all reading this? Good. I am letting you know beforehand that you will probably need to take a third mortgage out because the supermega-hot Jonas Brothers are coming to the Disney Channel in a regular series.
Uh, could we get some cold towels and smelling salts out there for the parents, please? Thank you.
