Many inappropriate "jokes" that are bound to generate questions
It's a cute show (I'm 13, btw) but definitely not appropriate for younger kids (e.g. eight and younger). I suppose mature kids could watch it. It's Disney, so you'd think it would be a funny family show, but there are way too many sexual jokes that irritate me whenever my 7 year old sisters watch it. Here are some examples: (Teddy to her parents) "Okay, have fun! But not too much fun - we have enough kids." ---- Mom: And then I met dad. Teddy: And if you hadn't, then I wouldn't be here today! [Note: this one seems okay, except my sister couldn't stop "pointing out" that Teddy would still be there - because "you only need a mom to make a baby right? right?"] ---- Gabe: (to Mom) Did Dad ever get nervous talking to you? Mom: Oh, when your Dad and I started dating we didn't do a lot of talking. Mostly we just... Gabe: Just what? Mom: Played checkers...lots and lots of checkers. ---- On the 2-part special where they go on a family vacation, there are WAY too many inappropriate jokes... here's the scene: Mom: Big news! Teddy (15 years old): Please tell us you're not having another baby. Mom: No, we're not having another baby. And I can assure you, we're not making that announcement ever again. Teddy: Yeah, this family is big enough - you completely clear on that dad? Dad: Why're you pointing your finger at me? Having babies is a team effort. Gabe (10 yrs old): What do you mean? Teddy: This should be good. Dad: Uh, you know what? Getting back to that announcement, we're going on a family vacation!......The place is called Mountain Bliss and it's Mom: Where your dad and I got married. Dad: You know the weekend we got married, we weren't even planning on doing it! Mom: Getting married....Then we met judge lawson and he said we were perfect for each other, so...we did it! Dad: Got married. Gabe: Why do you keep saying that? Mom: Haven't you had "The Talk" with him yet? Dad: I haven't had the talk with PJ yet! PJ (17): I'm good! Also, there's some mild nudity - for example, Uncle Mel turns around (so his back is facing the audience) and pulls down his pants and underwear. His butt is covered with giant foam fingers (they're at a ball game), but projected onto a big screen for the entire stadium to see. And the most nudity is in Snow Show (and all the commercials for it, too). PJ is completely naked, with his snowboard covering his private area. It's covered, but still who would want to see that? (Ok, who would want their siblings seeing that?) There is some kissing but nothing over the top. So basically, I agree with abbyccga and buckets. Good, funny show but definitely unsuitable for many young kids.

Super Cute!
I love this show! Its funny, and not in a corny old fashion way. Mia(Charlie) is the cutest! This show is a little bit educational. In the second episode there is a little bit of sexual reference. Like Teddy tells her parents "dont have to much fun, we dont need another baby". And when they bring home the wrong baby Teddy sais"See, wrong part" and then the baby boy pees like a fountain. Its funny for kids 10 and up. I think kids under ten might not understand some of the humor and might get bored with it.Over all a great family show.

A much-needed change of pace from the other Disney shows!
I actually quite like the show Good Luck Charlie! It's a break from the shows on both Disney and Nickelodeon currently, most of which entail some sort of extraordinary element that makes the characters and storylines unrelatable. It's just your average family dealing with adjusting to a new baby. It has a lot of good laugh-out-loud moments, and it's the most watchable show on Disney at the time. Even the theme song is really nice.

This show stinks
This show stinks so badly i mean the shows called good luck charlie not good luck teddy i mean they show more of the teenager than the baby who the shows named after in one of the episode teddy was complaining about getting a b in one of her classes thats just so stupid it's a b it's not like an c,d,or and f if they showed more of the baby then the teenager then maybe i would like the show but for now this show sucks and briget mendler's voice is just way to high when she complains i liked her better in wizard then in this suckish show

Another ok typical Disney Show
I think this show is ok but it's the same as every typical disney show. Bridgit Mendler is obviously going to be the next Disney Media source.It's a fairly good show in my opinion but there are a few things wrong Violence: Charlie(a 9 month old baby) gets dropped and than catched again as her dad falls down the stairs and breaks a bone. Sexy Stuff:Teddy tries to kiss a guy many times alone when her parents aren't home and even turns out the lights a few times,Teddy makes an innapropriate joke saying "You guys go out and have fun on your date but not too much fun we have enough kids already"" and Pj brings home another baby by accident as Teddy points out it has the "wrong parts"

Not the best
It is KIND OF funny, but barely. I don't think it has a point, exactly. None of the characters are wizards, rock stars, or live on a cruise ship. Yes, the baby is cute, but she is like the ONLY thing that keeps this show alive. Also, the jokes are gross, weird, and just not funny at most times. The teenagers like Teddy and PJ both act really immature and Gabe sometimes is smarter than them. The parents also make some references to some material that younger kids would not understand or should be hearing. Plus most sitcoms are made for ages 7-14, and this one looks like 5-12. I would choose mostly any other sitcom over this one. any other show over this one.

There is too many references. In one episode, Teddy warns the parents not to have too much "fun" or else they get more kids. In another, they say that liked to play checkers, which obviously means sex. In another episode, they talk about "doing it", and the dad says "it means getting married". He said that because he didn't give any of his kids "the talk" yet. Also in the second part of that episode, they show a nude PJ, but the snowboard covers his...

I hate it, but it's ok
I really don't think any of the "jokes" are inappropriate. I don't like the show, but it's okay. But I find it kind of stupid how the "main character" who is mentioned in the title is TWO and only makes really short appearances.

PLEASE DONT WATCH!!
Hate it! First off, I can see Disney is trying to make a realistic show for once, and it started out kinda realistic, but now it's just like any other Disney show...... unbelievable. And there are way too many innapropriate jokes & refrencess. One time, the mom said, "When your dad and I got married we didn't talk alot. We played checkers...... lots and lots of checkers." And I think you know what they're referring to. And they're always being irresponsible. In the last episode I watched, Teddy (the teenage daughter) and her friend were babysitting Charlie and the neighbors baby. While they were supposed to be watching the kids, Teddy and her friend put on a pair of very expensive dimond earrings, (wich were the mom's, not their's) and started fooling around in them. Later, when the girls take the kids to Build-A-Monkey, Teddy finds out that she accidentally wore the earrings there and lost one of them. I turned it after that, because I already knew Teddy wasn't going to get in trouble. It's a Disney Channel show, after all. None of the kids on there ever get in trouble.

puting the Charlie in danger is a no go
I think its funny in some episodes but when they put the baby in danger like when P.J swaps babies or when Charlie craws through the cat door is not good.

Good Luck Charlie Is A Key Family Resource
Not only is this show my entertainment LOVE IT, but it delivers the resource of working as a team and stratigizing as a fam. Plus, its so funny!! Mild stuff; Teddy mentions kissing a cute guy. Flirting. Nothing else!! Enjoy this show!!

Anther failed tween sitcom...
This was just a family of ego-maniac, over-the-top nutjobs. Teddy is a plastic, boy-obsessed Barbie doll. PJ is the dumb one in the family, who is in a terrible band with his friend Emmitt. Gabe is a devious, jerky little kid with no limits whatsoever, who is always calling his dad fat and his brother stupid or an idiot. The mom is an egotistic, self-absorbed maniac, who will do anything to be on TV, which by the way she has no talent for whatsoever. Charlie is cute, but she barely makes any appearances, because the show actually revolves around Teddy, not Charlie. The dad is the only sub-normal character, addicted to bugs, of course. I wouldn't bother watching this.

This family has issues!!
Good Luck Charlie seemed innocent at first, but think about it; if this family lived next door would they seem funny and enertaining or just plain rude and annoying? The kids are bratty, lie to their parents and each other and always tease their dad about his weight. The parents aren't any better and some of the jokes are just plain inapprorpriate! Funny for older kids but still a pass.

More plastic fake barbie stuff from Disney!
This is the WORST show ever. Worse than even Fanboy and Chum Chum. Get real, people. This is the worst of that plastic Disney crap and I really don't think any of the characters are relatable or even imaginative. I don't get any of the jokes! Those fakey lessons aren't real life lessons, just stupid plot ideas that have been used 1,000 times before. Once this show gets kicked off the air, which it eventually will, I will have a grand celebration party. Who really thinks that perfectly flawless boy-crazy Barbie who is the main character even slightly represents a real person?

Pretty good TV show, but definitley not TV_G
Its pretty good, but innapropriate for a disney show (they show a guys butt on the big screen only covered by two #1 fingers and some other stuff like that). I just think its obnockious sometimes.
