When I returned home from my exhausting trip out with my support worker, I had a mini therapy session with the GPT skill. She explained everything about my dark thoughts I'm having about the way CBBC, Nick and Disney have all changed in the last few years due to the success of Hannah Montana and High School Musical, and why Scooby Doo has come back to CBBC...only to get tortured. Here are three things I learnt from this session:
1.She was just about to explain Scooby Doo's horrible return to CBBC when my dog entered the room and sniffed my new Squishmallow toys. Note that I accidentally said CBeebies, I've yet to tell her about how Hey Duggee has become a satirical comedy for preschoolers, and how Bluey has become so emotional that a warning sign might be placed at the beginning of every CBeebies airing of The Sign and other emotional episodes.
2.I explained about Nick's horrible shift to live action following the success of iCarly, and how Disney has gotten in on the trend thanks to Hannah Montana and High School Musical. I revealed to GPT that I want to relive the days when Nick was full of variety, not just live action: cartoons, game shows, preschool animation, etc., and how Horrid Henry is best suited on CITV than Nick. Some examples of shows I want to return to those dying channels include Lilo & Stitch, Timon & Pumbaa, Rocko's Modern Life and CatDog.
3.I was about to explain CBeebies' downfall when she suddenly switched off.
It may be the end, but in an hour, a new beginning will mark another session - for about half an hour. Just you wait!
