Disney Channel Movies  

Call me a dork, but I'm still in love with the show Boy Meets World, which happens to pop on between Disney Channel and ABC Family, which fortunately for me, allows me to see all the previews for upcoming made-for-TV movies that premiere on Disney Channel. However, there is a truly irritating trend that occurs in each one.

The most popular of these is called "High School Musical," which is about a boy who is the captain of his basketball team under the coaching of his father, and happens to love singing, so he tries out for the school musical. His basketball team is angered, though, since his dedication is now split between two things, and he's not playing as well, or even showing up to practice. And, of course, throw in the fact that there's an upcoming championship on the same day as the musical! Luckily, he figures out a plot to deal with both, and his basketball team/father attend the musical, and of course they win the championship.

This brings me to another one titled "Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off," which involved a boy on a baseball team who absolutely loved cooking! His father was also the baseball coach, but he simply loved cooking so much that his devotion was split between the two, causing him to not play as well or simply not show up. He was then torn between the two activities, and the cook-off, which he was invited to, and his baseball championship happened to fall on the same day. Oh, no! The team watches the championship on TV, and his father comes and helps him with the cook-off. Yippee!

Now for the newest one entitled "Jump In," which is about a boy who's a boxer under his father's training attempting to win the "golden gloves" in a championship that his family has won for generations, however, he's invited to a jump-roping team that does double-dutch! Oh, joy! I'm sure you could guess the plot after that.

What's next? A basketball player who's also a leprechaun? Oh, wait, they ALREADY DID THAT, TOO! Who the hell comes up with this stuff?
