Live Action, Comedy, Drama Series | Season 1: 26 x 22 min | Age: 9-12
Based on a bestselling book, this live action series filled with fun graphics follows the life of
11-year-old Charlie, a typical tween in a non-typical family! Emotions, growing hormones,
frustration... It’s not easy sometimes to navigate the tween life but with family love, friendship
and a furry companion, it’s a lot of fun!
Charlie is a tween just like any other. Raised in a close-knit family, Charlie’s mother is entirely unlike
other mothers: she hears and sees everything! In addition to his all-seeing and hearing mother, Charlie
has an annoying stepsister, energy-sucking younger brother and sister who are twins, and a father
who’s easygoing enough, but withdrawn and often working. Oh, and we mustn’t forget Shivers, Charlie’s
old English Sheepdog, and most trustworthy friend and confidant. In short, a normal enough family
that loves each other – each member with their own personality and foibles… and the occasional
temper!
It all begins when Charlie is grounded in his
room and decides to start writing in a
notebook (NOT a diary!) to keep track
of the injustices he experiences with
his family. He eventually writes
about everything, from his daily
life at school with his friends, to
his crazy life at home with his
family.

when the family gathers around the tree on Christmas morning,
everyone reminisces about all the memorable Moose mayhem
they’ve experienced during the past year and realizes how
special it is to have Moose as part of their family. With many
more comedic adventures to come, these character-driven,
episodic stories explore Luke and Moose’s friendship,
