Keeping that juvenile audience supplied with enough bubblegum idols, the next tween/teen comedy off the Magic Kingdom assembly line is I Didn't Do It. It will no doubt run its allotted three to four years before the cast moves on to other Disney and non-Disney products.
This one stars Austin North and Olivia Holt as a pair of fraternal twins who with their three friends Piper Curda, Sarah Gilman, and Payton Clark will no doubt get into all kinds of situations that would have fazed the grand old lady of comedy Lucille Ball if I'm any judge of what I've seen so far. They will also have a lot of 'Splaining' to do after each story with the grand old cop out I Didn't Do It.
In the Disney tradition the cast is fresh faced and all American except when an ethnic part is called for. And in more than a Disney tradition the two leads look way too old to be playing high school fresh. The first episode had both of them trying to get into the cool kids crowd led by the quarterback Chad Buchanan who might pass for a college senior. But that's what I've come to expect since I was that age.
I'm sure there's enough teen eye candy to attract viewers for the allotted time that this and other Disney shows have.
