## Synopsis

Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street (2014-2016) is an American family fantasy series created by David Anaxagoras and released on Prime Video. Gortimer Gibbon (Sloane Morgan Siegel) and his two best friends, Ranger Bowen (Drew Justice) and Mel Fuller (Ashley Boettcher), navigate life on an ordinary suburban street where something magical lurks just beneath the surface. Gortimer's desire to lead a normal life keeps colliding with strange occurrences, and the trio's loyalty to one another drives each episode forward. Classmate Abigail Arroyo (Coco Grayson) and neighbor Stanley Zielinski (David Bloom) round out the household and school circle that gets pulled into the oddities. The show runs for two seasons and thirty-nine half-hour episodes, built as a light, self-contained mix of everyday school and neighborhood life and small, playful supernatural mishaps. Its tone is earnest, warm and gently whimsical, aimed at young viewers who enjoy friendship stories with a fantasy twist. Fans of Gravity Falls and Stranger Things will find resonance in its suburban mystery, youthful loyalty and quiet sense that the ordinary world is never entirely ordinary.
