Disney Channel programming launches on Live Marketplace

by Griffin McElroy { Feb 16th 2008 at 6:00PM }

We were planning on accompanying this post with a poll asking how many of our readers regularly watch Hannah Montana, but we're pretty sure we can guess the results of that questionnaire -- half of our readers would fess up to watching the pre-teen pop queen, and the other half would be bold-faced liars.

Fine, you don't have to admit it -- but if you have a friend (wink, wink) with an Xbox Live account, that friend (nudge, nudge) can now download episodes of Hannah Montana as well as a plethora of other Disney channel programming on Live Marketplace. It's just like having that dreamy Zac Efron live inside of your Xbox 360 hard drive, ready to serenade you at your behest, just one ashamed button press away from your Veteran career on Call of Duty 4.

I need to know

WHAT THE FUCK DOES SHE DO!!! WHY IS SHE ADORED BY MILLIONS OF PRE-TEEN GIRLS!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS GENERATION!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!

ThornedVenom @ Feb 16th 2008 6:10PM

Because all other pre-teen idols have gone astray?

FidliousWong @ Feb 16th 2008 6:18PM

You know, Clarissa could totally explain this all....

The Artist formally known as Jesus @ Feb 16th 2008 7:24PM

She's adored by only thousands of pre-teen girls.
Though she is adored by billions of PedoBears

Ignatius @ Feb 16th 2008 8:45PM

All I can say, is when I saw that picture, all I could imagine was a CS headshot.

Sora267 @ Feb 16th 2008 8:57PM

Vegeta, what does PedoBear say about Hannah Montana's bra size?!

ugg.tryptophan @ Feb 16th 2008 11:18PM

its over nine thousaaaaaaaaaaaand!(A)

BanjoFan360 @ Feb 16th 2008 9:10PM

Xbox Live should get "Doug" from the old Nickelodeon. That would be awesome. :) Screw this current generation of television.

chispito @ Feb 17th 2008 1:16AM

You mean Voltron, Duck Tales, Smurfs, Gummi Bears and G. I. Joe. Screw your generation, too.

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Feb 17th 2008 1:36AM

FUCKING YES!!!

WE NEED TO START A PETITION!!!!

ThornedVenom @ Feb 16th 2008 6:12PM

*pants heavily*

Calm yourself Thorned, it's ok. You've already lived and seen worse days.

*cries at the thought of babysitting kids booming High School Musical non-stop*

thats pretty cool i guess. it will certainly be effective in their family aim. i just wish Sony would wake up and give us access to that massive Sony Pictures library they have sitting there.

FidliousWong @ Feb 16th 2008 6:17PM

I saw one episode... immediately had to punch and old lady for shaping the world where such a creation could exist...

Avarice @ Feb 16th 2008 6:20PM

Ugh. The Disney Channel's philosophy towards comedy seems to be; "Not funny enough? Then it needs more laugh track!"

Arthur @ Aug 31st 2008 7:12AM

I only found out from Wikipedia that she was a girl

ThornedVenom @ Feb 16th 2008 7:20PM

Don't believe everything you read online.

colin @ Feb 17th 2008 2:51AM

i heard that corey was in the house ...

Esat @ Feb 16th 2008 6:39PM

This..... post does not interest me in the slightest. I merely happened to wander haphazardly by chance into the comment box. Seeing as I'm here, quick question:

Can any one draw anything BUT a square on an etch a sketch?

Thanks for your time.

Gehodra @ Feb 16th 2008 6:58PM

Hell man, I can't even do that.

Batzarro @ Feb 16th 2008 9:56PM

Do you mean like...rectangles?

ThornedVenom @ Feb 17th 2008 7:40AM

Funny what we considered as intuitive controls back then.

Seattle Yonkers @ Feb 16th 2008 6:45PM

Does anyone else think she looks possessed in that picture?

Ian Murray @ Feb 17th 2008 9:45AM

Yeah, I was gonna say.

Saw some packaging with her on it the other day as I was walking through a store, and I could've sworn it was a picture of either:

a) someone who had a mild case of retardation
b) someone who was just experiencing a fit of epilepsy.

She's not funny or talented, and I'm tired of her face. Which means she gets a TV show. Good job Nickelodeon, for killing all of the good shows we grew up with, and shoveling this tripe down the throats of todays youth. Really, bravo.

Ian Murray @ Feb 17th 2008 9:54AM

I know exactly what you mean.

I passed this picture one day in a store, and I immediately thought one of two things was happening:

a) she was someone with mild retardation
b) she was having an epileptic fit

As far as I'm concerned, the television for kids today is trash. Granted, the TV for adults is no better, but it's never been for kids in the first place. It's sad to think of how many good shows we had growing up (Hey Dude, Wild & Crazy Kids, Salute Your Shorts, David the Gnome, Eureka's Castle, Double Dare, Clarissa Explains it All, All That, Ahhh! Real Monsters, etc.), and now all the kinds get to watch are crappy cookie-cutter shows like this, the "Suite" Life of Zack and Cody, some show with a fat kind and a skinny kid learning to live together (Drake and Josh?), and plenty of others.

Bravo.

Ian Murray @ Feb 17th 2008 9:57AM

Damn Joystiq commenting system.

You make me cry.

umm....hello??? @ Feb 16th 2008 6:50PM

at least it's not fucking Barney....

The Artist formally known as Jesus @ Feb 16th 2008 7:22PM

at least Barney had good songs

Gehodra @ Feb 16th 2008 7:00PM

There's a Disney Channel?

ThornedVenom @ Feb 16th 2008 7:21PM

So, i herd u liek pichus....

Mr Khan @ Feb 17th 2008 4:08PM

Man, when i was little (like 5 & 6, back in the mid-90's) Disney Channel was the shit when they actually showed Disney Cartoons

Old School Daffy Duck, New-school Darkwing Duck, Duck Tales, and Talespin, the only shows i remember more fondly are SWAT Kats and Doug

Like Nickelodeon, the network went to pot when they stopped showing actual animated content...

quickshade @ Feb 16th 2008 7:00PM

So much bashing on her, but then ask yourself, are you the ones going home and watching Flavor of Love, I love new york (5-6-7) and Rock of Love on VH1. Yea I'd rather support something that has go morale values than watch some shitty show about fucking as many chicks or dudes as you can. Of course I'm not saying I run up stairs and watch her on TV. But if my younger sister chooses this over VH1, I think I can say she's making a good choice. And I won't mind watching it.

Stevie Dunbar @ Feb 16th 2008 7:20PM

Man, TV is in the shitter ain't it?

ThornedVenom @ Feb 16th 2008 7:24PM

Stuff like this makes me wish we had National Geographic at home or something... oh well, the I'll just satisfy my little remnants of sanity with episodes of the original Twilight Zone on Sci-Fi.

Mr Khan @ Feb 17th 2008 4:11PM

No, not TV, just all the networks owned by Viacom

TV is still in a good way on quite a few networks

blahblahbloo @ Feb 16th 2008 7:07PM

Intrigued, I looked at some of the 30 second previews of this show on iTunes.

It sucks. It REALLY sucks. It's like it wants to be a mix of "Full House" and "Saved by the Bell," only way dumber.

Sturek @ Feb 16th 2008 7:23PM

When I read that Disney Channel stuff is coming to Live, I was happy ! I like Mickey Mouse cartoons, Ducktales and stuff like that. Too bad I forgot what Disney is all about nowadays. I have to say that I am proud to live in a country that has not yet heard of Hannah Montana....
