by Ronald A. Rowe on January 2nd, 2012 | Children's TV, Comedy
Disney’s new Tween comedy, Jessie, may be the single worst show I have ever seen. Really – ever. And bear in mind that I’m old enough to remember Hello, Larry.

Jessie is essentially a platform for Disney to showcase its Next Big Thing, that thing being series star Debby Ryan – who just so happens to be an adorable and highly marketable pop singer.

Long gone is the live variety show featuring real kids, and in its place is a 3D animated show for preschoolers featuring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and the rest of the gang, including Pete.
