In the ’90s and ’00s, Disney Channel produced a steady stream of iconic original shows, including Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, and That’s So Raven. However, everything changed with Hannah Montana—and not at all for the better.

While kids’ shows are certainly not known for logic, the entire premise of Hannah Montana requires the biggest suspension of disbelief since Clark Kent’s glasses. The show also marked the beginning of Disney’s mixed media plan: by having a main character of a TV show who was a music superstar, a precedent was set for marketing the show, the soundtrack, singing dolls, and so much more.

In addition to changing Disney’s onetime perfect pitch, Miley/Hannah herself was a profoundly unlikable character: selfish, shrill, and often just as stupid as she accused her older brother of being. Despite what the theme song claims, with Hannah Montana, you really didn’t get the best of both worlds.
