Always and Forever

I love watching Disney channel as much as the next 12 year old and Hannah Montana is probably one of the most popular shows on there. I will admit that I saw the movie and watch the show when I stumble across it during my late night channel surfing and I watched Miley Cyrus’s London concert on Hulu. Her music is catchy and it’s always interesting to see what more she does that puts her under the magnifying glass.

All the 12 year olds, including myself were saddened when we heard that the Hannah Montana show was going away forever. Of course, Disney channel would re-run the crap out of the show the way they do now, but it was still sad to know there wouldn’t be any new shows. Until, Sunday night when Hannah Montana Forever premiered. So wait, let me get this straight. You end Hannah Montana so that Miley Cyrus can become an adult and you start a new series called Hannah Montana Forever? Interesting and kind of ass backwards. Makes me wonder if Miley said to herself “oh shit without Hannah Montana my career is over because I’m an awful actress.” I’m also almost positive that Disney channel gave her no choice in the matter since all of their money the last few years has come from that show and all its ridiculous merchandise.

The new plot line is Billy Ray Cyrus buys a bigger home in Malibu just down the street from their old home and they live their lives basically the same way as in the original series. Seems simple enough. Miley and her friends will more than likely get themselves into trouble the same way as before and each episode will end on a happy note. So why end the original show in the first place? Maybe Hannah Montana was fading and this was a way to bring attention back to it? Who knows. If only I could make that kind of money for singing some silly songs and prancing around on camera.
