Jan 18 2023
Sonny with a Chance was a Disney Channel teen sitcom that ran for two seasons.
Wisconsin native Sonny Munroe (Demi Lovato) arrives as the newest cast member of So Random!, a variety skit show. She quickly becomes friends with established cast members Tawni (Tiffany Thornton), who sees Sonny as a rival for female lead, Nico (Brandon Mychal Smith) and Grady (Doug Brochu), two pranksters whose plans rarely succeed, and Zora (Allisyn Ashley Arm), the weird girl whose also bossy at times.
Meanwhile there is Chad Dylan Cooper (Sterling Knight), the star of So Random!'s backlot rival Mackenzie Falls, a teen soap opera drama. Throughout the two seasons there is a faint then growing attraction between Sonny and Chad which is a nice subplot.
The show often does a So Random! skit, usually as the intro or ending sequence and the skits become the main thing after Lovato leaves and they rebrand the series as So Random! There are also rare musical numbers and Lovato gets to show off her singing talents. Otherwise it's a typical Disney Channel sitcom of the time. It's an entertaining show but not one of the best (objectively harder to tell since Lovato left early, the most popular Disney Channel shows during the 2000's+ get a fourth season which sometimes brings big chances since actors are signed for three years).
