lizzie mcguire isn’t a show i watched as a child. i’m a little too young to have been able to watch it when it aired (i was like 1-3 during the runtime of the series) but probably could have caught reruns… except we didn’t have disney channel until 2009. i actually first started watching this a few years ago, i think in summer of 2021. i restarted it this month and, obviously finished season 1. and i really loved it. 

lizzie mcguire made me sad for a childhood i was too isolated to have, a beautiful, heartfelt, well written slice of life coming of age show that feels like such a perfect anomaly among disney channel sitcoms. there are a lot of shows from that channel that are lovely, but most of them have more extreme premises (wizards, pop stars, etc), and even the ones that don’t tend to have very cartoony characters (like good luck charlie is a realistic premise but the supporting cast are very over the top archetypes- that’s not a criticism btw just a contrast!). in this show, the tone can be cartoony like thag with the sound effects et al, but the storylines, characters, and premise all feel really grounded in reality. it’s just about 3 kids, navigating the difficulty of being thirteen. and i think it’s really smartly written. can’t wait to watch season 2! to me, this is easily s-tier for disney channel, and i honestly think this might be my pick for the number one live action show i’ve seen from them. lizzie x gordo forever 💞💞
