Look, no one is more excited about Disney Channel airing every single original movie (all 51 of 'em!) than us. We're already calling off work and making excuses with friends and family for that week. (Um, we really hope our boss, friends and/or family isn't reading this. But seriously, guys, we're going to be really sick that weekend. We swear.)
Anyway, we have one big issue with the schedule for the Memorial Day weekend marathon. Can you spot it? Take a look at the schedule and see if you know what we're talking about.
Did you see it? DID YOU?! Sorry, we didn't mean to yell. We're just a little bit upset.
On Friday, they are airing High School Musical 2. The original High School Musical isn't airing until Monday. Same thing with the Camp Rock franchise. Camp Rock 2: Final Jam is airing on Saturday. The original Camp Rock doesn't air until Monday.
Why are they airing sequels before the originals?! How on earth are we supposed to follow the storylines and the characters of these movies when we have to watch the sequels before the first movies?!
What's that, you say? Why are we complaining about the sequence of storylines in movies when we've seen them half a dozen times already? Good point. But, you know, it's the principle of the thing! Even though we know every single word to every song in High School Musical 2, it doesn't meant we want to watch it before High School Musical! We want to be invested with the characters from the beginning, so airing these all out of order just messes with our Disney Channel mojo.
Just take a look at this madness: The Cheetah Girls 2 before Cheetah Girls? Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge before Halloweentown? Teen Beach 2 before Teen Beach Movie? We feel like we're taking crazy pills!
Maybe Disney saved up the OG classics for the final day of Memorial Day Weekend as the big finale. Or Disney has some intricate scientific method to rolling out these movies that we don't know about. Or maybe they just want to mess with our heads!
Ah, who are we kidding? It doesn't matter when or how or why they're airing these movies. We're still going to watch the s--t out of every single second.
