I'd be more freak outish but I'm tired and cranky and cold and it's been some time since I heard about this (better for you, you don't get all caps :P). A few articles today just released information of the Disney Channel Upfront this year for the 2015-16 season! First of all I really didn't think they would have one because they didn't have one last year and I checked an upfront schedule for all of the cable upfronts and Disney wasn't listed. But they are having one, early March like always! The upfronts are when they announce all of their big programming for the coming season, I'm so excited.

So with that explained, I have to caps this THEY'RE MAKING A JESSIE SPIN OFF!!!! Okay, I know! These are the two articles that are up about the upfront for March: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/currency/upfronts-2015-disney-plans-new-shows-children-s-channels/138116 http://adage.com/article/special-report-tv-upfront/disney-channel-hosts-upfront-disney-world-lucasfilm/297231/ Honestly, I like the idea of a Jessie spin off, it sounds cool, I just don't like the fact that Luke isn't in it. But I'm happy that we won't be seeing the last of the Ross kids because Jessie seems like a show that could go longer than 4 seasons, maybe not with Jessie herself because she's older, but there's definitely more to see of the Ross'.

Also, they talked about this new show (or maybe pilot) called Best Friends Whenever and in my opinion it's incredibly stupid. I'm not sure if those articles mentioned all of what was going to be presented at the upfront because neither mentioned Teen Beach 2 and that's surely going to be presented. Only one mentioned Descendants and that's definitely going to be there, probably with the characters dressed up and everything :P (seriously I bet you ten bucks that the Descendants cast is going to be there dressed in their costumes :P). I really want Raini's pilot "Growing Up and Down" to be picked up because it's really "grown up from down" on me. Hehe :P I think it'll work out well and I like it tens times better than the other pilots they've announced. This pilot announced last year, Bunked, I think is okay but it doesn't really sound interesting or creative, Best Friends Whenever is just no, Disney already has enough best friend/buddy comedies (IDDI, LAM, A&A (it'll be ending but still), sorta GMW) and the plot of that pilot is just ew in my opinion. And then they have Fairest of the Mall which I think would be better with some tweaks but overall I don't like it. Honestly, no offense, but once A&A ends I'm probably going to drift from Disney. I'll still keep up with LAM, KC Undercover, I Didn't Do It, and I'll watch their movies but if their new programming isn't good, I'll probably not watch it much.

This message is so long :O (insert stressed out emoji) I just wanted to mention my hopes for things they'll announce. Not sure how likely this is but I really want them to announce an Austin & Ally movie, the fandom deserves a movie, we really do. A&A has had a lot of highs, season 2 was big, and it deserves credit where it's due. We've never had an hour special (except the crossover but that was shared). And they haven't had a movie since GLC, what show would fit better for a movie? LAM I don't think would make a good movie, no offense but they're already pretty lazy with the special effects they use to make Dove two people (they only ever use the split screen thing and Liv and Maddie always have separate storylines in episodes), how would they do that for a whole movie? IDDI would make a good movie but that show isn't as popular as A&A. GMW is way too early in its series and I feel like if BMW never got a movie, GMW shouldn't have one. :P Then there's Jessie which probably could make a good movie but, eh, I want A&A. :P There are so many possible storylines for a movie. If we don't get a movie, I at least want the show to get a special like Made In Japan or a crossover (w/ LAM and IDDI please). I also hope they announce some fun new shows but I'm not sure how that'll go based off the pilots they've announced. Whenever, Disney announces a pilot that I think is stupid, I never think they're gonna actually go with it but then they do xD Dog with a Blog for example.

So yeah, what do you guys think of the upfront, are you excited?
