The series' creators, Phil Baker and Drew Vaupen , wanted to create a program that would appeal to entire families, not just children. In each episode, Teddy Duncan Bridgit Mendler adds to a video diary that contains advice for Charlie about their family and life as a teenager.
Teddy tries to show Charlie what she might go through when she is older for future reference. Each video diary ends with Teddy or another family member, even Charlie saying the eponymous phrase, " Good luck, Charlie ".
Among other decisions, executives included adult-centric scenes and changed the series title from Oops to Love, Teddy and finally to Good Luck Charlie to ensure the series would appeal to all family members. The series finale aired on February 16, , with a one-hour episode. Set in Denver, Colorado , the series follows the Duncan family, who are still adjusting to the birth of their fourth child, Charlotte "Charlie" Duncan Mia Talerico.
The events in each episode become material for a video diary that Teddy is making for Charlie. Teddy hopes the videos will provide useful advice for Charlie after they have both grown up and Teddy has moved out. Each episode ends, after the video diary, with an event that is weird and usually cannot happen in real life.
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 "Good Luck Charlie" that has a very different kind of concept.
