In a first for the Disney Channel, next season an episode of Good Luck Charlie will feature a family with two moms.
Producers are currently casting the couple, with production set for next week. The episode will air in early 2014 as part of Good Luck Charlie's final season. Because Good Luck Charlie is coming to a close, the characters are only expected to appear in this one episode.
In the storyline, parents Amy and Bob Duncan (Leigh-Allyn Baker and Eric Allan Kramer) set up a playdate for preschooler Charlie (Mia Talerico) and one of her new friends. When the kid arrives, the Duncans learn that Charlie's pal has two moms. That's fine, but the potential new friendship is put to the test as one mom chats with Amy, and the other is stuck listening to Bob's dull stories.
The playdate is actually the secondary story in the episode, as much of the action will center on Teddy (Bridgit Mendler) and her best friend Ivy, as Ivy prepares to head off to college.
But Disney Channel understands the groundbreaking nature of featuring a same-sex couple on one of its sitcoms and took extra care in crafting the episode. "This particular storyline was developed under the consultancy of child development experts and community advisors," a Disney Channel spokesperson says. "Like all Disney Channel programming, it was developed to be relevant to kids and families around the world and to reflect themes of diversity and inclusiveness."

Are there any shows on TV these days that show families attending church or praying? I don’t watch regular shows so I don’t know, but my guess is no.
“Duck Dynasty.”
Brainwashing, pure and simple. Nobody can have “two moms”. This is one of the most insane concepts in human history.
Yeah, I love DD, but it only shows them praying at the end of the show. Millions of Americans attend church every week but you wouldn’t know it from watching TV shows. But taking God’s name is vain is okay.
Millions of Americans attend church every week but you wouldn’t know it from watching TV shows.
People don't watch TV in order to see people like themselves.
Which makes me wonder - why do people watch TV?
To see Tom Selleck.
That's NOT fine.
I watch TV because....during college football season....it is hard for me to physically go to the 15 games per week I want to see...TV takes care of that
As soon as I found MeTV and AntennaTV, I knew I’d never need cable again. My younger nieces really like the old Monkees episodes, and the older kids are really liking the original Twilight Zone series.
The Duggars - 19 Kids and Counting. Their son Josh recently took a job with the Family Research Council.
and they all seem to have the same formula...kids are smarter than parents, ignorance is funny, mom is smarter than dad, dad is a bumbling oaf that can’t do anything right.
A far cry from “Father Knows Best” days.
I love Tom Selleck.
But I mean regular TV shows. Not sports or news.
Where are the fathers? the heads of the households? the MEN of this country?...saying “Not in this house! The law says you can perform your unspeakable acts, and even broadcast them over the airwaves and in your parades. But your depraved, perverse wickedness will not cross this threshold to invade my home - not while I’m alive!”
Are American men impotent to defend our homes?
Yes, the DVR is handy isn’t it. Good for you.
Ug, Get Moving Ads.
While I agree with your logic, kids literally hate it when adults do this. It takes all the fun out of watching and they kind of resent it.
Just the name of the show causes me concern.
Anyone who doesn’t, there’s something seriously wrong with them.
