Thanks, guys, I'm so happy this got mostly a positive response. I'm gonna be so honest with you guys, I don't like ADN and I never really did. I feel like having another WC is just another thing to stress about. It's not as simple as you're putting it, it's another wiki to keep updated, another wiki to keep actors and projects active, another wiki to keep in shape, and I really hate it. It just makes 10x more sense to keep everything here, at least for me.

I kinda see where you're coming from (@Nutter) but you mentioned something about us staying realistic, right? It's not like this hasn't been done before. Nickelodeon airs shows for toddlers at 8am but if you turn to the channel at 10pm they're airing the shows that we're trying to do here. It makes sense and it's realistic. Or an even better example, ABC airs shows like Modern Family and Blackish that have mature comedy but they're still family shows that parents watch with their kids. You probably haven't seen Pretty Little Liars but that's a really good example of a type of show that's mature and tastefully done.

A lot of things you said here confused me. I never saw this channel as something that was aimed specifically at families, it's mainly for kids/teens. Trust me, adults have no interest in watching shows about kids. There are a handful of shows that are very much family aimed but most of our shows are pretty Disney Channel-esque, we really need to broaden our audience a bit. And it's not like the whole channel is now becoming Freeform, it would just be becoming something that's more broad with its content.

And btw, GI Jennings is nowhere near a mature-type show, it's for families but its content isn't "mature." Are you saying that just because there was a drag queen in an episode? That doesn't make it a mature show.
