Sonny With a Chance

Sonny with a Chance was an American children's sitcom which aired on Disney Channel, created by Steve Marmel, that follows the experiences of teenager Sonny Munroe, portrayed by Demi Lovato, who becomes the newest accepted cast member of her favorite live comedy show, So Random!. The series debuted on February 8, 2009 in the United States. This is the first Disney Channel Original Series to be shot and aired in high-definition from the beginning; like most of Disney Channel's sitcoms, it is shot on tape, but uses a "filmized" appearance. The second season, some scenes are shot on location. The series is one of three Disney Channel Original Series to feature a show-within-a-show, with the others being The Famous Jett Jacksonand Shake It Up. The show was cancelled and officially ended on January 2, 2011 due to Demi Lovato leaving the show to focus on her singing career. The show received a spin-off So Random!, which lasted for one season and was cancelled due to low ratings.
