Welcome to Sunday Oliver. CTV will broadcast Oliver Beene, a fast-paced comedy series, Sundays at 7:00 p.m. ET, beginning March 9 (check local listings). The 30-minute series showcases one of televisions newest and youngest sensations, Grant Rosenmeyer, while offering a unique look at the life of a precocious pre-teen and his comical struggles to overcome the oddness of his family in the quest for an ordinary life.
It's 1962, and the world of 11-year-old Oliver Beene (Rosenmeyer) is filled with chaos. His eccentric family is made up of his father Jerry (Murphy Brown’s Grant Shaud), a dentist whose idea of a fun on a weekend is drilling the kids’ molars; his mother Charlotte (Wendy Makkena, Sister Act), a homemaker who idolizes Jackie Kennedy; and his older brother Ted (Andrew Lawrence, Disney’s Recess), a sports fanatic. Like every kid, Oliver longs for a bit of family normalcy and peer acceptance at a time when nothing seems to make any sense, especially while practicing drills for the end of civilization in a fallout shelter with his family during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Making life a bit more bearable are Oliver’s friends at school, including Michael (Taylor Emerson), the most fabulous kid in class, and Joyce (Daveigh Chase), the girl with whom Oliver has shared a desk since third grade. Narrated by a wickedly wry adult Oliver (David Cross), the series explores the often hilarious trials and sometimes outrageous tribulations of a kid growing up.
The series is written by Howard Gewirtz, (Wings), who survived the Cuban Missile Crisis in his own family’s fallout shelter. He and producer Steven Levitan (Just Shoot Me) uses flashbacks and flash-forwards to vividly re-create the Kennedy-era sixties in this fast-paced comedy. Oliver Beene is a DreamWorks Television production in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Howard Gewirtz is creator/executive producer and Steven Levitan is executive producer.
