(Family)
Actor Eleven year old, only child, Aria Appleton, (Sara Grace Prejean) a trouble-making musical 'diva,' is trying desperately to get famous using her talents and utilizing technology like Youtube to make fun of others, bully, and try to make herself look better. When her negligent single-mom (Sara Slaughter Hughes) leaves town on a "business" cruise, Aria's only option for temporary housing is to stay with an eccentric, home school family down the street who, ironically, are often the brunt of her bullying & jokes. After a lengthy stay with the Battlefields (who have seven, internationally adopted children), Aria feels like a fish-out-of-water, AND following a madcap romp, a domino-effect of humorous, unintended consequences unfolds forcing Aria to face the music, admit to her manipulations and turn over a new leaf.

Actor Is it merely "creative observation" or is it really stalking? It can't be stalking if they end up liking you...Dr.Ryan Boise, with his online PhD from Pattison University in Alaska, proudly leads the Stalkers Anonymous group. In his meetings, which are held in a castle, he explores their improper dating techniques. We have Stacey Wolfe's over the top denial of stalking and Janet admitting she kept a finer in her freezer from an ex. Susan who merely drives 10 miles out of her way to accidentally see her crush. And one Columbian soap opera actor that thinks he is at an audition. A few other colorful characters complete the group. So remember...Date don't Stalk...and we can help!! Written by Joanie Bannister
