Awesome / Good Luck Charlie

• In "Bye Bye Video Diary", even though he does graduate from Quickie Chickie University, PJ walks out of class when it occurs he no longer wants a mediocre future as a manager of Quickie Chickie. Although a real college is usually a big step and considerably harder, PJ decides he wants to give it a try, much to Bob's pride. It works out quite well for him as he opens his own successful food truck, and it even results in an inversion of Fridge Horror. While the COVID-19 Pandemic resulted in the shutting down of most restaurants, food trucks' mobility still makes them lucrative.
• In "Teddy's Bear", it's one thing when Amy (aka "Mama Bear") chases Mr. Piper on the principle of being mean to Teddy. It's another when her lovingly protective husband Bob reacts to Mr. Piper's snide comments about Amy being a "pest" by chasing him as well.
• Instead of an exterminator, Bob always wanted to be a pro wrestler. His son PJ wants to be a rock star. One episode ends with Bob creating a commercial for his exterminator business where he dresses as a wrestler and fights PJ dressed as a giant cockroach. The song for the commercial was written by PJ, so Bob and PJ both got to live out their life's dreams at that moment.
• "Girl Bites Dog" shows Charlie attacking Spencer. It turns out to be this in retrospect when the end of the episode reveals that Spencer was seeing two girls at the same time without either of them knowing.
• In "Charlie Did It!", the entire sequence where Gabe and Teddy escape from the supermarket. Complete with Gabe creating multiple soda geysers, Teddy knocking the toilet papers on the floor, tripping Hugo, but the best was when Alice overcame her fear of Hugo and pushed a shopping cart right into him, saving Teddy, Gabe, and Charlie. Double points for ending with a Funny Moment:
  Gabe: (on intercom) Clean up on aisle... everywhere.
• The concept of the show is amazing. For once, this is a Disney Channel show that is about something besides "an extraordinary kid lives in an ordinary world." It makes it more relatable. It's refreshing.
  • Additionally, the characters aside from Amy go through realistic Character Development over the course of the show. Bob losses a healthy amount of wait and occasionally stands up to Amy, Gabe grows out of his habitual troublemaking and becomes a far better brother to Charlie, PJ starts taking his future more seriously and puts his passion to good use, and even Emmett moves on his creepy obsession with Teddy and stops being such a pest to the Duncans while keeping his friendship with PJ.
• The Muppets cameo. Dear God. The Muppets cameo.
  • Then Miss Piggy and Kermit asking Charlie if she preferred a frog or pig. Charlie sweetly answers "both." Miss Piggy implores her further, "if you had to choose one." Charlie's response? "I like bears" much to Piggy's annoyance and Fozzie's delight.
• The revelation that they are going to show a lesbian couple ON A DISNEY SHOW!
  • You should also congratulate Disney for not giving into the website One Million Moms' demands that they remove the episode.
  • Even better. It wasn't treated as anything unusual or special. The couple were two happy individuals with a child of their own.
    • The lesson of that part of the episode actually was: It really just doesn't matter.
  Amy: Whether it's a Mom and a Dad, or two Moms or two Dads, nobody likes your bug stories.
• In the Grand Finale, a kid moves in next to Mrs. Dabney's house and gives her trouble. When Mrs. Dabney asks Gabe if he could get him to stop because, during his younger days, he used to drive her batty. He tries to get the kid to stop to no avail. When Mrs. Dabney complains about the noise from Teddy's going-away party, Gabe gets a "Eureka!" Moment. Later on, Gabe and Mrs. Dabney rally everyone at the party to join them in driving away the kid and his mom by performing a marching band in the backyard.
