Good Luck Charlie

Since the last time we got together Netflix has added two new TV shows.
A.N.T Farm-A Disney Chanel show
Hardcover Mysteries-A documentary style show that talks about the real life mysteries behind popular fiction

Since neither of those appealed to me, I thought I'd flip the script a little bit. So we have our first "Last Chance!"  Good Luck Charlie will expire on May 2nd, and since there is only two seasons, I suppose you could catch up if you wanted.

"Good Luck Charlie" takes off as the Mom of 9 month old Charlie is about to start back at work. The implications of Charlie's addition to the family are still strangely stark considering she's been around for nine months. Charlie has three siblings, Teddy, who is surprised she has to cancel her study date so she can help babysit, Gabe who claims that Charlie's addition as the youngest "ruined his life," and PJ who is played as being so oblivious he probably doesn't realize he has a baby sister yet.

The show is narrated by a series of home videos by Teddy to her older brother Charlie, which was the only highlight. The show plays to such obvious jokes, as a study date which everyone thinks is romantically motivated. Teddy's date in fact sinks to such levels that he stretches his arm, and then puts it around her. The teenage son has an off pitch garage band. Dad, Bob, fell down the stairs and hurt his butt.

"Good Luck Charlie" is a sitcom for children because they're the only ones who haven't seen these familiar tropes already. It was cute, and aside from my artistic sensibilities it was completely inoffensive, but without an 8 year old in the house, it just isn't for me.

Conclusion: Off the queue
