- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved Raising Hope, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.

- 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 35 minutes, about 12 hours in all.

In present day Minnesota, the Mighty Ducks have evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive, powerhouse youth hockey team. After 12-year-old Evan is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, he and his mom Alex set out to build their own ragtag team of misfits to challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of competitive youth sports.
