Disney Channel

I just had the wonderful experience of watching one episode each of "Suite Life on Deck" and "Sonny with a Chance" on the Disney Channel for the content analysis project. I must say that I wasn't too impressed, but what can you expect from shows like that? At least they were pretty much clean. If I had my "sexual content assignment" cap on I wouldn't have had much to go on, but there was one weird part in "Suite Life on Deck". One of the main characters practices using a whip. As he's whipping, the whip goes off screen and comes back with a women's bakini top or bra or something. You hear a little female scream off the screen and the whip recoils with this article of clothing. I think it was supposed to be funny. I'm not really sure how they thought of that one. Also, in "Sonny with a Chance", there is some young adolescent hand-holding, snuggling and one kiss. It seems like the whole goal of these shows is to make the viewer laugh. They definitely try to appeal to adolescent-minded audiences.
