Disney's Writing, Standards and Practices

I've noticed some trends in how people write for Disney channel shows and movies, which has long been a controversial topic of discussion. For instance, there are lists of hidden (and some not-so-hidden) naughty, dirty, or questionable images or messages found in the writing or sometimes animation. Overall, though, Disney tries to maintain a clean, wholesome image in its programming and products (though there are a couple licensed products that Mike Mozart would find questionable, though most likely due to factory defect). It all has to do with the current culture of society of the average viewership. It's also a sign of the times.
As Johnny Depp once said in the outtakes of PotC 3, "You can't curse in a Disney film." In fact, you really can't even come close to cursing, to the point where they have often been known to dance so far around using more common alternatives to curse words. In The Suite Life of Zack and Cody they mostly used "hey" instead of "heck" for the word "hell," but to the point of its being ridiculous: "What the hey?" "Heck-sinki,""that place where it's always hot," "I think I'm going to a much worse place," "Darn nun! There, I cursed a nun and I don't care!" and "I can't say it or I'll have to go to confessional!" Granted they used "heck" at least once and half of those were because the girls were in parochial school at one time, but come on.
Lately, though, they've been getting a little bolder about it, resorting to referencing off-screen sight gags, "if you know what I mean" remarks, or adding a loud sound effect over what the character is saying. That's not to say they're going to go the According to Jim route and accidentally introduce baby Charlie to a curse word anytime soon (although Zack and Cody had been acting like mini-versions of Charlie and Alan from Two and a Half Men toward the end), but at least for some of the teen stuff they are giving it a little more leeway. On both The Suite Life on Deck and Good Luck Charlie they've referenced road rage (being flipped off) as a certain "hand signal" or "we're number one!" to humorous effect. It's likely not going to escalate much further from there, but at least it's something. ABC shows such as Last Man Standing have become nothing but preachy and so I hate all of their programming with a passion (they're owned by Disney so it still counts).
