  Reasons why iCarly is NOTHING LIKE Hannah Montana...

  Just like the whole "Buzz on Maggie is like the Replacements" situation, we've got another pair of two shows that are being compared like crazy and yet, THEY'RE NOTHING ALIKE!! And those two shows are iCarly and Hannah Montana.
  
  Why are iCarly and Hannah Montana different? Because first of all, Carly is not spoiled and obnoxious like Miley is, Oliver is no where near as dorky as Freddie is and there's no way in a billion years that Lilly would beat up an innocent boy like Sam did in the pilot for iCarly.
  
  Another example would be the iCarly episode "iHatch Chicks". Hannah Montana would have never gotten that dramatic if it did an episode like that. And look at how many "Tearjerker" reviews the iCarly episode "iWanna Stay with Spencer" got, even when it was only the fifth episode of the series! Hannah Montana didn't get that emotional that early. Not even for the entire first season. And if any of the first season episodes did get "Tearjerker" reviews, iWanna Stay with Spencer got more than all of the first season episodes of Hannah Montana got combined.
  
  This is why I said that iCarly is more like That's So Raven because of all the melodrama in iCarly. While Hannah Montana had almost NO drama in its first season. And you all know that iWanna Stay with Spencer was only the fifth (out of the 25 first season episodes) episode of iCarly and you all still cried hard over that. And yet, it's STILL like Hannah Montana?! That just doesn't make sense to me. Hannah Montana didn't get that dramatic that early in the series. That's So Raven got that dramatic that early.
  
  And finally, there's a "Ships" situation. Seddie has like 50 times as much supporters as Creddie does while Moliver and Loliver have the EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF SHIPPERS. The only thing that can fix this is either if more of the Seddie fans went over to Creddie to get the exact same amount of shippers for each one or say, Loliver fans transport over to Moliver so that one ship would have more fans than the other.
  
  And so, with all that said, just face it. Comparing iCarly to Hannah Montana is kinda like comparing Full House to 8 Simple Rules. Sorry if I might have insulted anybody about anything listed here. I didn't mean to. I just had to get that out in the open. But anyway, there's my thesis right there. Laters.

  My New School Year So Far...

  Hi, guys. Haven't talked to you in a while. I'm just a little slow on the draw. Anyway, school started for me two days ago and so far, it's going pretty good. The ****s I'm taking are English for 1st Period, Cooking Cla$$ for 2nd Period, Earth Science for 3rd, Western History for 4th, Geometry after Lunch and Guided Study then Animation Cla$$ are my last two cla$$es. Although, I might switch out of Guided Study for Study Hall if GS doesn't go well enough the first week (The cla$$ is filled with disrespectful kids) and since today's Friday, if today doesn't go well enough like the last two days didn't, I might switch to Study Hall.
  
  Animation cla$$ (aka Design Graphics) is gonna be cool because I've always wanted to work with Animation, since I'm into animated shows. When I grow up, one of my dreams is to produce a nationally televised animated series. But I'll have to pass this cla$$ and the next two levels of it to do that.
  
  But I think my favorite cla$$ is gonna be Earth Science, just because me and my best friend agree that it's easy to pass. That reason and because Science has always been one of my areas of expertise. Earth Science, of course, is when you learn about the functions of the Earth.
  
  And you want to know something? The first time I saw my English teacher this year, this first thing that popped into my head was Coco from Zoey 101 with a short Hannah Montana wig. But she's not like Coco at all. She's very nice, although she tends to go a little fast on the lessons but she's still nice.
  
  Well, that's what's up on School for me so far this year. Laters.

  Watched a Cubs Game Live / No More Disney Channel for Me!

  Well, yesterday, I got back from my Grandparents' house in the Chicago area. And before my family and I stayed at their house, the day before yesterday, we all got to go to a Cubs-Reds Game LIVE! (Shout out to halogod95, who's a sports fan) It's probably the first time I've EVER seen something that's shot nationally! There were like 500,000 people there! Maybe more! Anyway, it was a great game. The Cubs actually won 3 to 2! It was a very exciting game!
  
  And let me tell you something: Chicago, probably the biggest city I've EVER been to (I've never been to New York City or Los Angeles). The stadium I went to (Wrigley Field) was big too! And I thought Milwaukee's stadium was big. You should check out this one. The rest of the trip was good, too. My famiy and I stayed at our grandparents' house and we just hung around. And now to the next subject.
  
  --------------

  Well, it looks like Disney Channel's now out of my life for good. At least me being a fan of it is. Here are the reasons I don't want to watch it anymore:
  
  - It's not the same as it was when I became a fan of it. It used to balance cartoons and sitcoms just right but now it's become Teen Paradise, with the only cartoon there being Phineas and Ferb (which I hate).
  
  - Disney Channel Games just isn't the same as it was the last 2 summers. It used to be cartoons appearing in there and Phill Lewis used to be a co-host and it appeared in between new episodes of shows in a two-hour block. Now, it's a full half hour event with only Brian Stephanek as host and now it's more like a video taped event on GSN than a big summer event on Disney Channel.
  
  - The DCOMs aren't as much of a big deal to me now as they were then. Seriously, High School Musical 3? As a theatrical movie? What is there about it that makes it have to be released theatrically instead of just airing it as a TV Movie, like the previous two? Why not have just made the first two HSMs been released in theaters on the dates they aired on TV instead? And they made a Cheetah Girls 3 and titled it Cheetah Girls: One World. I LOVED the Cheetah Girls when they had their first 2 movies and their Christmas Album. My favorite Cheetah Girls songs were "The Party's Just Begun", "Strut" and "Cheetah-licious Christmas". But now, the Cheetah Girls are just getting old with this movie. If you ask me, they should have just stopped after the second movie and continued as a successful pop band, instead of being movie icons,
  
  - Their currently running shows are getting old to me. The Replacements is just kinda cheesy, Corey in the House only makes me miss That's So Raven, Suite Life on Deck just sounds like a continuation of the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Welcome to Mollywood just sounds like a ripoff of iCarly, Emperor's New School is getting old to me and Phineas and Ferb, ha! Don't even get me started. I temporarally stopped watching Disney Channel when it first came on. It's one of the reasons Disney is turning into Nick. Trying to be cool, not teaching anything, stupid running gags, etc. (Sorry, fredricdafly, I just had to get that out)
  
  - And finally, the most important reason of all, THEY'RE SCRAPPING THE BUZZ ON MAGGIE OFF THE AIR COMPLETELY!!! That's right. They're taking it off the 4am/3c air slot and replacing it with "Recess". The Buzz on Maggie is no longer gonna air on Disney Channel... at all. Why am I quitting Disney Channel just because they're taking this one show off the air? Because this show was what made me an official fan of Disney Channel. It had everything I ever wanted in a cartoon: great voiceovers, good morals, not too serious, not too silly, no pop culture references (this is good because there was no way it could insult anything without them), balancing family and friends just right, etc. But now it's being scrapped off the air for some overrated show about 6 kids on a playground. Don't get me wrong, I really think it's an OK show (In fact, I used to LOVE it) but come on. Replace something else with Recess, like Little Mermaid or one of Lilo & Stitch's time slots, not Buzz on Maggie!
  
  So that's why I'm gonna quit watching Disney Channel. The only show I'm probably gonna sacrifice watching is Wizards of Waverly Place, but I can catch the episodes on YouTube. Besides, Suite Life, Hannah Montana and That's So Raven, I can catch on ABC Kids every Saturday. And American Dragon and Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, I think are on Toon Disney. I actually burned everything on Disney Channel that I watched on my last day watching it on my DVR. And I watched a lot, because, if it's your last day watching it, you've gotta make it worth your while. Here's what was on the DVD:
  
  - The 3 most recent Hannah Montana episodes that I never watched
  - The Cheetah Girls: One World
  - Wizards of Waverly Place: Crazy Ten Minute Sale and some other episode.
  - An episode of Life with Derek
  - The 4 Disney Channel Games episodes
  - The Proud Family
  - Brandy and Mr. Whiskers
  - The Buzz on Maggie's last airing on DC
  
  So that's what I'm doing with my time right now. Laters.
