The Disney Channel was launched in 1983, which means a lot of you who are taking this quiz probably grew up watching stuff on there anyway! It was a nice accompaniment to the movies you loved when you were growing up, and if you weren't playing outside, you were probably laughing along to many of the TV shows or original films released by the network anyway. The show was known to have created many of the stars we still love today, as many of them had their first break in the Disney Channel and moved on to bright careers.
Others didn't have the same fate because show business is tough, and others decided it wasn't for them, but you still scour their names on "Where are they now?" fan pages that keep track of their whereabouts. Other folks were more into different TV channels, but still heard a lot about Disney Channel shows thanks to their classmates and friends. Hey, there was no way to leave you out of these conversations whenever a new trend or fad began! This quiz will test how much you remember about the Disney Channel shows you grew up watching and has some current stuff thrown in as well!
