Two Roads Diverged In A Yellow Wood

Once upon a time, there was a Disney Channel series called “Even Stevens”, which was one of the seemingly endless stream of tween-coms the Mouse has been foisting on us for years. Notable in those days for rescuing former ’80s sitcom star Donna Pescow from career oblivion, it would become the launching pad for the two child stars of the show, a boy with the unlikely name of Shia LeBoeuf and a girl named Christy Carlson Romano.

Now, we all know that there are two paths all Disney kids take. One is skyrocketing fame and fortune, propelled to astronomical heights as every 13-year-old girl in America latches on to the TV show, record albums, movies, and tons and tons of merchandising. The other is Dudsville, relegated to smaller and smaller supporting roles in lamer and lamer tween-coms, made-for-TV (or, worse, direct-to-DVD) movies, finally disappearing altogether from the House Of Mouse, usually not-so-coincidentally tied to their 18th birthday. Some Disney kids even manage to combine the worst of both paths into a blinding display of road-flare-bright burnout (LiLo, Britney), while some manage to survive the whole ordeal and turn into genuine stars (Kurt Russell, Annette Funicello). And so the same is true for those Even Stevens kids, and BuzzFeed is there to document the whole sordid tale, complete with gratuitous pictures of naked boobs..
