Sunday Safe Bet

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It's still drawing plenty of interest. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved Lizzie McGuire, start here.
The mood: Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace: 4 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 25 minutes each).
What might put you off: Rated TV-Y7. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.

Set in Chicago, the show follows the kid-friendly misadventures of two high-school friends who are always scheming and dreaming. Kenan, who works at a grocery store, constantly devises crazy plans to strike it rich, while orange-soda-loving buddy Kel is always dragged along for the ride despite his track record for messing things up.
