I’m a big Disney Channel fan and have been for ages! My teens grew up watching Disney Channel shows and my little one really enjoys the shows already.
I am so excited to host this amazing Sydney to the Max giveaway – my first this year! Created by Mark Reisman (“Frasier,” “Wings,” “The Exes”), the series is geared for kids ages 6-14 and families and premieres January 25 on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW!
Disney Channel shipped this set directly to me and Eliana was so excited when she unboxed it!

I really really really love the retro items! And here’s why they’re included: Sydney to the Max is set in the present day, but it has flashbacks to the 1990s!
This Disney Channel comedy revolves around outgoing middle schooler Sydney Reynolds who lives with her single dad Max in the house he grew up in, along with her progressive grandmother Judy — three generations under one roof. I love the multi-generational aspect of this comedy!
As Sydney’s preteen pursuits begin to expand with unexpected and funny twists, Max (her dad) tries to get a better sense of the guidance, perspective and support she needs. Grandma, full of both parental wisdom and wisecracks, has a razor-sharp memory that proves Max’s own teenage antics parallel Sydney’s. Flashback scenes to a young Max and his best friend Leo juxtapose the funny predicaments invented by Sydney and her vivacious friend Olive. So much like real life!
It’s so sweet to see a sweet dad-daughter relationship onscreen for our little ones today, and especially since the daughter/father sitcom includes grandma, too!
Caroline Rhea (“Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Phineas and Ferb”) plays Judy (the grandmother) in both eras.
13 year-old actress/musical artist Ruth Righi (Broadway’s “School of Rock The Musical”) is Sydney. This is her first leading role, so let’s show her all the love!
Ian Reed Kesler (“Suits”, “Kickin’ It”) is adult Max, Sydney’s dad.
Jackson Dollinger (“Puppy Dog Pals”) is young Max in the 90’s. He commented on Eliana’s IG video!!!
Ava Kolker (“Girl Meets World”) is Olive and Christian J. Simon (“The Amazing World of Gumball”) is Leo.
OTHER COOL Sydney to the Max FACTS
In the premiere episode, “Can’t Dye This,” Sydney wants to radically change up her hairstyle for the first day of 7th grade. Her dad Max is resistant, but with Olive’s help, Sydney takes matters into her own hands.
The theme song, “Stay The Same,” was written and produced by Kay Hanley, Michelle Lewis and Dan Petty and performed by Righi and Dan Conklin.
“Sydney to the Max” is a production of It’s A Laugh Productions, Inc. It carries a TV-G parental guideline.

This show reminds me of a show called My Two Dads that was on when I was a kid, or even a little bit of Punky Brewster, in that it involves a father raising a girl without the mother present.
