About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a clean, light sci‑fi sitcom with goofy family humor, school mishaps, and a warm will-they-won’t-they vibe, similar to Lizzie McGuire; Not for you if you dislike corny jokes or teen-focused stories.

Pros: funny fish-out-of-water premise; inventive future gadgets; sweet teen friendship | Cons: corny humor at times; some stereotypes; uneven early episodes
