Page "Disney Channel" Paragraph 37

Since 2003, Disney Channel has typically imposed an unwritten " 6-to-a-cast " rule as its original series generally have a maximum of six contract cast members, with So Weird being the last series before 2003 to have more than six actors appearing as series regulars ( since then however, Shake It Up had become the first series to feature seven contract cast members in season two ).

The channel's series also have a smaller writing staff compared to other broadcast and cable network scripted television series ( usually around 6 and 8 credited staff writers, instead of the 8 to 11 writers standard with most scripted series ).

Most of its series also employ are produced in the videotaped multi-camera setup that involves filming before a studio audience or utilizing a laugh track ; its multi-camera series also utilize a simulated film look ( the FilmLook image processing for series that debuted between 2003 and 2008 ; the HD-compatible ' filmizing ' technique for all newly-commissioned and returning original series produced in high definition after 2009, which reduce the videotape frame rate to 24 frames per second ).
