Deboralien Love

It really annoys me when people say “Disney shows today have no meaning” WELL, that may go for some DC Shows, but not all. The Disney Channel Show Jessie has a lot of meanings in each episode and they always have a clever and funny plot line to portray it to go with it.

New York, New Nanny- In this episode it teaches that “love can travel over any distance. it’s too strong to be broken.”

Do you really think Disney Channel have meaningless shows now? Jessie has taught me a lot. I’m sixteen almost seventeen years old and this show constantly teaches me things about life. We all have grown up. Maybe most of us has changed rather than Disney Channel. Disney does have quality shows. This happens to be my favorite. Just pay attention more to what they’re trying to say when watching an episode. Yes, the plot lines can be ridiculous, but isn’t that why we love them? They help us escape reality for a bit and make us laugh. To me, this show is gold. I don’t know what I would do without it and I’m very appreciative of the actresses and actors and fellow crew members who have taken the time to create this show. There are so many more meanings within these episodes. And they are definitely open for interpretation. This is just what I got from it. They all have a meaning to tell. They all have a meaning so don’t say they do not. I’m thankful that this show was created. <3 (:
