The last era of kids who grew up watching the original Disney Channel have now entered into their high school years. While these familiar shows have been off air for at least five years, many of these kids who had centered their childhood around the Friday night episode premieres still continued to watch them through various websites, especially Amazon Instant Video, throughout their middle school years.

However, with the class of 2020 taking their first steps into the high school hallways, the era of the OG Disney Channel has ended. The ‘kids’ have grown up into young adults, taking on new high school classes and spending their time watching more mature shows. No matter what, these movies and shows will always be in the hearts of these young adults who could not imagine their childhood without the familiar mickey ears drawn in the left bottom corner of the screen. Here is a list of some of the most popular shows or movies that characterizes the original Disney Channel.
