Actually pretty good

Honestly,this is the best live-action disney show in a while.Compared to shows like Ant Farm,Austin & Ally,Liv And Maddie,Jessie etc, Good Luck Charlie is actually good. Unlike those shows the premise of Good Luck Charlie is fairly simple and realistic and doesn't try to be more than it is. The family isn't special or gifted in any way,they're not rich,they don't have superpowers,they're just an average family dealing with average every day problems that are realistic and relatable. And you can tell that the writers and producers actually put some time and effort into making this show humorous because the humor in this show is actually funny and amusing at times.I do find myself laughing a little when this show is on.The actors are all pretty good too. Bridget Mendler plays a believable and likable character as do the rest of the family. If the acting doesn't make me cringe and is believable then it is a show worthy of my time. It will be a shame to see this show go once it's time is up,but I must say that Disney Channel needs to go back to the simple formulas for shows such as That's So Raven,Life with Derek,Lizzie Mc Guire,etc. And they need to stop just making random shows just for the sake of making them,actually make them for a reason,and not just to fill up time or get in more ratings which are already low enough as it is.

Can't agree with you here. I actually site the show as one reason live action Disney shows suck. It falls entirely in the same boring famcom tropes. An episode where the men are discussing conflict management when it comes to dealing with women positively reeks of bad 90s writing. (Frankly, if I was in a relationship afraid of my wife, I would know its time to get out. Albeit, its a sitcom so double standards and abuse of men by women is typical by those standards. Still bad writing though.)

The entry says they worked on making it enjoyable by everyone, they failed.

If it's true that wherever you go, there you are, maybe you need a better map.

Funny, I thought this show did just that. To me it reeks of, someone in management had a baby recently and were still in the "OGM their first time rolling over" stage and wanted to make a show about it. From what I've seen the baby is the gimmick. A more normal gimmick compared to the others, but a gimmick none the less. It still follows the same rewashed plots they now always use, done by the same characters they always make actors portray.

I'm mere or less with the OP. There is a reason most of this tropes page is praising the show so there oyu go.

At best: a standard Disney sitcom.
