Disney needs help

All that I can say about this show is that the programming execs really need to look at what they are putting out. The concept of a teen aged boy getting/discovering mystical powers had already been done, and far better, by "Danny Phantom." The characters come off overly caricatured, especially Grandpa and Trixie. What were they thinking when they gave Trixie that voice??? The only positive thing about this show is the Huntsman who offers a little mystery to the proceedings. Still he's not enough for me to watch and he obviously wasn't enough for Disney fans either. Maybe fans of Disney shows should write and tell them that they want shows like what Disney had in 2000 or 2001, when quality seemed to be more important than quantity.
