Thoughts of a DJ: Discovery Family





Hello one & all. Its DJ Dizzy here & this time around I'm sharing my thoughts on Discovery Family. Okay now I noticed that its like all of the other  Discovery channels now except they air cartoons. Now one thing I really miss about this channel is that when it was first Discovery Kids then it became the Hub Network they were all about something for everyone even when it came to movies.

They had a slogan which they lived up to that of Making family fun which they really did & they weren't scared to add in a little edge. Even the characters from various show got involved. Such as the Christmas carol commercials:

But also lets not forget the classic cartoons that we grew up on such as:

Now I admit that I was a bit biased because of what it was  about at first but it was cool when it became more about newer show & something for us as far as some shows from our childhood which was a real treat.

But now that it's back using the Discovery name well there's a lot to be said about it such as its lost its edge & its more about reality shows that you can see on other networks When it was the Hub it launched perhaps the biggest pop culture phenomenon That of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic (Shout out to the bronies out there!!)

Thought it still airs on the channel I miss a whole mess of variety that they were once known for which they need to bring back so that way there can once again be something for everyone which is just my opinion.

So my main thoughts on Discovery Family would be go back to being about variety like you once were maybe they could air the classics from our childhood & balance it out with the newer shows that's what I really liked about it better yet go back to being the Hub Network!!

Well that's all I wanted to mention regarding the channel so to all ranters who still have a lot to say on it I can relate. I'll watch it depending on what's on but that's it.

Well that's all I have to say so until then we'll Dizzy it up again soon. So keep calm & ROCK ON!!
