Wizards of Waverly Place was a Disney Channel sitcom that ran four seasons plus a couple of tv movies. In a world where magic is secret the Russos are a family with three young wizards -- Justin (David Henrie) the eldest brother and most responsible one, Alex (Selena Gomez) the trouble maker, and Max (Jake T Austin) the youngest and most clueless. Dad Jerry (David DeLuise) was a wizard but gave it up to marry Theresa (Maria Canals Barrera) and now he spends his time running a sandwich shop with Theresa and teaching the kids magic and how to be responsible wizards.

Mostly the show centers around Alex and many episodes center around her using magic to shortcut things, having everything go wrong, and then fixing the problem (sometimes with Justin's help). Otherwise the three are normal high school kids and Alex hangs out with her best friend Harper (Jennifer Stone) who doesn't know the truth until later in the series.

It's good family comedy and really showcased Selena Gomez's acting talents.
