Teddy Duncan creates a video diary for Charlie in each episode that includes advice for him about his family and being a teenager. In the video diaries, Teddy tries to give Charlie an idea of what she might go through as an adult. Teddy’s final words in each video diary are the eponymous “Good luck, Charlie.” Additionally, the show’s title was changed from Oops to Love, Teddy to Good Luck Charlie in order to ensure that the series would be enjoyable for all members of a family. In the United States, Good Luck Charlie made its television debut on Disney Channel on April 4 of that year. After a successful run in Canada, the UK, and Ireland on May 14, 2010, the film debuted in Australia and New Zealand on July 23, 2010.
