DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, March 2018) Inspired by Bobby's childhood growing up with a genius father with mental illness, this uplifting single camera comedy features a dysfunctional family that perseveres despite their differences and finds happiness in unexpected places. After moving to a new town, fifteen year-old Lola wants what most teenagers want, to fit in. Having a father, Buzz, with 'a beautiful mind' doesn't make that easy. Buzz often mortifies Lola with his public meltdowns and manic plans, but with some help from her no-nonsense mom Keri-Ann and the rest of her colorful family, Lola will learn to appreciate the brilliance, insight and magic that Buzz brings into their everyday lives. She may never be a 'normal' teen, but she gets to celebrate Christmas-ween in July.
