Well it's been a few days since the show finale happened on television. I don't know if you've been watching regularly or not.
If you haven't then skip to the heading "(The Show)" I don't want to spoil the show for you, although the show is great even if you know what's coming. (I'm getting interrupted so I'll summarize the show later.

Premise
14-year-old Jarvis Raines (Kolton Stewart) is an average teenager who becomes a boss overnight after he sues a toy company over a defective chemistry set that blows up his house. Jarvis' first act as CEO of Knickknack Toys is to recruit a diverse group of kids from his high school to help him run the company. Usually something backfires when they are trying to develop a new toy. Before the end credits there are usually advertisements showing Knickknack Toys' newest products, which are shown or often invented in said episode.
Production
The series was created and is executive produced by Dan Signer and Howard Nemetz. The series is filmed in front of a live studio audience at 5828 Byrne Road, in Burnaby, British Columbia.
The series was renewed for a second season in June 2014. A third season was announced in August 2015, for a planned airing in 2016.
Cast and characters
Kolton Stewart as Jarvis Raines is a fun-loving teenager who becomes the new owner of Knickknack Toys, after suing the company when a defective chemistry set he got for Christmas blows up his house.
Charlie Storwick as Piper Gray is a computer-savvy, sardonic 'hacker chick' who is hired by Jarvis as the chief technology officer. She has had a huge crush on Jarvis even before starting at Knickknack Toys, but if he were to find out about this, she would be very embarrassed.
Harrison Houde as Bowie Sherman is Jarvis's nerdy best friend who he also hired. He gets ideas ranging from bad to even worse, even so he is still like everyone's lovable little brother. In episode 106 Jarvis puts him in charge of the joke and prank division.
Sydney Scotia as Geneva Hayes is a beautiful yet dimwitted young girl who works as the receptionist and Jarvis's personal executive assistant. She is the prettiest girl in school. Jarvis, like many young boys, has a huge crush on her, and is completely oblivious of Piper's crush on him.
Dylan Playfair as Malcolm "Knox" Knoxford III is an amateur extreme sports daredevil who is not very smart. He is recruited as the product and safety tester and human crash test dummy.
Dylan Playfair plays the part of Knox
Travis Turner as Aster Vanderberg is creative, confident and the most fashionable guy in the whole school. He is the self-proclaimed King of Swag and the company's chief design officer. He is also the only one who knows about Piper's crush on Jarvis, and has promised not to tell anyone, because, as he says "he likes to keep his conversations interesting". Aster also has some twisted pleasure in always insulting and mocking Piper, to even the point when he called in sick, he asked Bowie to fill in for his "job" of making fun of her.
Ellie Harvie as Candace Wheeler is the previous owner and CEO of Knickknack. She refused to give Jarvis a settlement after selling him a defective chemistry set, and the jury awarded him the company instead. She has high doubts that Jarvis can own a company, but she's always proved wrong in the end.
Mrs. Bubkes is actually former Knickknack owner Candace (Ellie Harvie) in disguise. She masquerades as Knickknack's janitor Mrs. Bubkes, an old woman from Meeskatania in Eastern Europe, in order to snoop on Jarvis in hopes of regaining control of the company. She frequently attempts to sabotage Jarvis' plans in secret, to no avail.
Mmmboing a rubber bouncing ball that was created by Bowie in the pilot and hasn't stopped bouncing since, Mmmboing has become a running gag in the series appearing somewhere almost in every episode.
