Dog With A Blog is an American television sitcom that premiered on Disney Channel on October 12, 2012. It stars G. Hannelius and Blake Michael. A promo of the series premiered on September 23, 2012 during a new episode of Good Luck Charlie.

Premise

Avery Jennings and Tyler James are step-siblings who are complete opposites. The family faces an even bigger adjustment when their new dog, Stan, can talk and also has a blog, unbeknownst to the family. Stan uses his blog to discuss the happenings in the Jennings-James household. Avery and Tyler later learn of Stan's talking ability and agree to keep it a secret from their parents.[1]

Cast

(Cast from left to right) Capaldi, Burns, Hannelius, Kuma, Michael and Littleford.
  • G. Hannelius as Avery Jennings: The highly intelligent, hard-working step-sister of Tyler. She hates the fact that Tyler feels everything has to go his way, and that good things always seem happen to him, such as in the pilot when Tyler books the living room as an excuse to have the school cheerleading squad come over. Avery is very straight-forward in following the rules and reluctantly goes along with what Tyler does. She is very smart, an overachiever and knows what she wants.
  • Blake Michael as Tyler James: Avery's popular step-brother who seems to get by with his good looks, much to Avery's dismay, often causing the two to fight. Handsome, dim, cool, manipulative, and occasionally a little vain, good things always seem to happen to him; he can get any pretty girl to go out with him and is extremely charismatic. Although very smart, Tyler is slacking off in school due to laziness, but in the pilot he learns he needs to act more like a brother towards Avery and will, on some occasions, show his soft, serious, mature side. Although he can sometimes be shown to be care-free and too laid-back, Tyler will rush to a person's side when they need help, showing that he cares about people.
  • Beth Littleford as Ellen Jennings: Avery's mom and Tyler's step-mother.
  • Regan Burns as Bennett James: Tyler's dad and Avery's step-father. He is a psychiatrist who has his own book and tries to think of ways to get his kids to come together. Sometimes, his wife thinks he got his psychiatry degree online, as his attempts don't seem to work well.
  • Francesca Capaldi as Chloe James: The six-year-old sister of Avery and Tyler. Chloe is naive, sweet and bubbly, like most children when they're five years old. She is shown to have psychological problems and often does crazy things.
  • Kuma/Mick as Stan[1]
  • Stephen Full as the voice of Stan: the family's new dog who blogs and talks.

Production

The series was created by Michael B. Kaplan, who previously co-created the Disney XD series I'm in the Band.[2] Stephen Full was previously a cast member of that series along with Beth Littleford who had a recurring role. G. Hannelius and Regan Burns also previously guest starred on I'm in the Band, during the show's two-season run.

Kuma played the title role of Stan the Dog for 5 episodes (including the pilot) after being picked from a pool of thousands of talented canines.[citation needed] The agency who hired him, Good Dog Animals, suddenly fired Kuma's owner over a small contractual dispute, after helping the GDA agency get awarded the show.[citation needed] The dog agency fired Kuma and replaced him with a look-alike named Mick, a much younger dog with no previous set experience and very little training. [citation needed]

The pilot episode was directed by Neal Israel.[2]
