Good Luck Charlie is a Disney Channel sitcom. It revolves around a Denver family, the Duncans, as they try to adjust to the birth of their fourth child, Charlotte "Charlie" Duncan.

Toby ruined the show's format that was built around Charlie being the youngest hence Teddy making the video diaries for her. You even having him born on Charlie's birthday! Taking that and the fact that Toby serves really no purpose in the show other than being the result of the writers wanting to throw in a good storyline of Amy being pregnant, he is a useless character that didn't really need to be written into the show. The Duncans were fine being a family of four kids with Charlie being the youngest.

Post Toby birth. From then on in the show started to go down the drain.

I agree. the show is still great.

i still think the show is great - the video diaries from Teddy to Charlie are all about the sister bonding, not just because Charlie is the youngest.

...and as for Toby being a useless character - he's a BABY; what do you want him to be - a bad boy racecar-driving lothario that shakes up the whole town?

looking back at the series today I think it DID "bone the fish" - right in the very last episode where they kinda broke the fourth wall a little bit; there is just no recovering from that.

Does anybody believe that the show while not necessarily "jumped the shark"/"boned the fish", definitely none the less, ran out of steam by the fourth/final season?

Every episode mainly went by this format:

Plot A: Teddy and her love life, or other issues with friends
Plot B: PJ and Gabe (and/or Charlie/Toby)
Plot C: Bob and Amy (and/or Charlie/Toby)
with B and C's characters being interchangeable from time to time.

Before this, the entire family was involved in one plot.

I loved it from beginning to end and it only got better with each season. I wish it had been longer than four seasons but I loved how it ended, which is rare for a sitcom finale
