It's the year of 'yesh we can,' as we follow animal pals Mooch and Earl on their heartwarming adventures.

Some people claim that it is possible to survive High School -- that the numbing lectures, first period PE classes, dangerous bullies, snotty cheerleaders, clueless counselors, and droning teachers can actually improve a person. To that, Luann and her friends would just like to say, "Ha ha ha."

What do you get when you combine a hot Aussie and an insecure Luann? Awkwardness, with a capital AWK. And what happens when the hot girl, Tiffany, digs her claws into the hot guy? Then what happens when the hot guy has to go back to Australia? If awkwardness is funny, then this saga is hilarious.

Family counselors describe the parent/teen relationship thusly: Wisdom vs. youth. Tough love. Generation gap. In Luann's case the descriptions go: Toasting a marshmallow over a volcano. Riding a crazed moose. Throwing a fire bomb into an oil well. Whether you're a parent or a teen, Picky Parents, Touchy Teens is a useful guide to what not to do.
