After watching back some children's sitcoms of the noughties from the likes of Disney and Nickelodeon in recent times...I personally find them nowhere near as funny as I used to think they were.
In fact, the more older I've got, the more I have appreciated the likes of Zzzap!, Sooty, ChuckleVision, The Basil Brush Show etc, and I think I can understand why. Programmes like the above mentioned were written with the whole family in mind, even though children are the main demographic these shows are targeted at.
The Disney Channel/Nickelodeon sitcoms are written specifically with children in mind, and I don't think it's very clever (or funny) how the actors in these shows over act for the sake of getting a laugh - you never see Matthew Corbett or Tony Gardner do anything like that. In fact, there are very few American children's programmes from my childhood I still like to watch back to this day, one of them being SpongeBob SquarePants.
