## Synopsis

Good Luck Charlie (2010-2014) is an American family sitcom created by Drew Vaupen and Phil Baker for Disney Channel. Teens Teddy Duncan (Bridgit Mendler) and PJ Duncan (Jason Dolley), along with tween Gabe Duncan (Bradley Steven Perry), are typical kids in a bustling Denver-area household until their mother Amy (Leigh-Allyn Baker) has a fourth child, Charlie (Mia Talerico). With both parents heading back to work, the older siblings are left in charge of the baby while their father Bob (Eric Allan Kramer) tries to keep the home running. The engine of each episode is the constant chaos of the kids trying to keep Charlie out of trouble as she learns to sit up, crawl, walk and run, while sorting out their own school and social lives. Teddy's personal video diary for her baby sister becomes a recurring device, with each entry offering a bit of wisdom. The series runs four seasons and 99 episodes in a multi-camera format built around family comedy. Its tone is breezy, wholesome and warm, with gentle family humor. Fans of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Modern Family and The Wonder Years will find resonance in its sibling dynamics and heartfelt, kid-friendly comedy.
