When it was first launched in 1983 The Disney Channel was meant to have a family-friendly image and had something for everybody. But once The Disney Channel changed it's format and started focusing on kids with an all kids show format I think Disney Channel was trying to have serious competition with Nickelodeon and I think that's what ruined Disney Channel. But back before the format change Disney Channel was the family oriented channel where you could watch reruns of Disney classic shows such as Zorro and Spin And Marty and you could see the classic Disney movies like Sleeping Beauty Snow White Pete's Dragon Tron and other Disney movies and their kids cartoons were excellent too. They also added reruns of sitcoms like Brotherly Love and The Torkelsons/Almost Home and Growing Pains as well as concerts from Paula Abdul and Billy Joel. But I think what Disney Channel should've done was create a second spin-off family oriented channel that would've been aimed at teens and have an hour for adults with Touchstone Pictures movies shown late at night and have sitcoms too. But I think why Disney Channel switched to an all kids format was because Disney thought it would grant them more money and a bigger audience of kids which is why they have Disney Junior aimed at children in the 4-7 age range. And they thought with Disney Junior Disney Channel would become more successful. But if Disney Channel would return to it's original family format it started with rather than a kids show format it would save Disney Channel a lot of money
