Actually, the realization that I've seen enough of the show, in particular, and Disney Channel, in general, to write the summary above caused a little bit of me to die inside as well. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />Oh, yeah, and Disney marketing research shows that our core audience loves, emoticons.  Use lots of emoticons...</blockquote>
