Good Luck Charlie ' s central family, the Duncans from Denver, Colorado, was carefully crafted for broad appeal.

According to former senior vice president of original programming for Disney Adam Bonnet, "A lot of the high-concept shows have kids in an extraordinary situation where the parent or adult takes a backseat, and sometimes the adult isn't as smart as the kid, or it's all about the kids putting one over on the adults. But we have a new show called "Go...
Broadening Disney Channel's appeal was also a concern while choosing the character's names and the show's title. "You want a title that says, a) this is a sitcom and, b) this is something that will interest the main demographic, but also we're trying to expand the Disney brand beyond just girls," Vaupen commented. The series' title was originally "...

Bonnet says Disney Channel executives "just fell in love with" Bridgit Mendler, who stars as the series' protagonist, sixteen-year-old Tedd...

Aug 15, 2023 · It was a breath of fresh air in kid's shows. It was a big part of my childhood. The characters are well cast, the chemsitry is good and the jokes are pretty good as well, thanks to the delivery. The family is crazy but genuinely try to be better. The "family" moments in the show might be corny, but still kinda work.
Nov 28, 2011 · Every video ends with her oldest sister (and star of the show) Teddy, played by Disney Channel favorite Bridgit Mendler, wishing Charlie “good luck” as she navigates her wacky family. The show sticks to the Disney formula of having present, loving parents who tend to need more supervision than the children.
