Happy to review this. I haven't seen this sitcom in a long time, but I remember seeing it show up in programme guides quite frequently when I was working for Disney! Anyhow, the article is a good read, so thanks for bringing it up to GA standard. Here's some feedback/comments before I promote..


 * "focus on family, friendship, and growing up." - the term "adolescence" might sound better here
 * "In an essay, Colin Ackerman analysed.." - who's Colin Ackerman? Author, scholar, critic?
 * Wiki-linking of some common terms; not sure how useful they are to general readers: shopping mall, sandwich shop, family business, role model, fall, etc among others.
 * Disney Channel has been wiki-linked twice
 * "Mark Robinson wrote in a blog.." - is he an author, critic?
 * Films and specials section - you've used both "film" and "movie" here. Perhaps just use "film" for consistency?
 * Sources appear to be archived and reliable
 * Images - suitable captions and tagged
 * No copyright issues found

A few tweaks here and there, nothing major. Thanks, LM150 16:04, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, welcome to the article and thanks for the review. Working for Disney (Channel?) sounds incredible, would love to hear more about it! I have fixed all of the above suggestions. Please let me know if I missed anything. Thanks! SatDis (talk) 02:34, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey ~
 * "Critics have found fault with the.." - might sound better as "Critics have criticized the.."
 * "Merchandising" header - would "Home media" be a more appropriate header? No pressure to change it though.

For future improvement, I think the story and characters section could be expanded a little. As could the critical reception. It's also possible to add the track listing of |the soundtrack. However, I'm not going to stop this from obtaining GA now, as the article is broad enough.

And yes! I worked in media technology, and my role was to support the broadcast systems which aired Disney Channel content in Europe, Middle East and Africa. It wasn't a glamorous job, but I had the opportunity to meet the likes of CEO Bob Iger, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, and actress Scarlett Johansson of the Marvel films! Toy sales and a cinema screening room were highlights too! LM150 16:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, sorry, "critics criticized" doesn't sound right to me, just in terms of flow of writing, that's why I used "found fault with". I've used "Merchandising" as it not only covers home media, but the soundtrack album and video games as well.
 * Thanks for the review. That role sounds excellent, what a dream to work for Disney in any capacity! SatDis (talk) 12:03, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok great, now passing! LM150 19:12, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
