Narrated by Canadian comedy legend and improv genius Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?), Old Enough! features kids taking on excursions in the wider world. What starts out as simple household tasks, turns into hilarious adventures and heartwarming interactions when carried out by newly-empowered kids who are often held back by their helicopter parents.
While the episodes focus on the children's tasks, viewers will also get to explore each parent's approach to raising their kids. Each problem-solving journey gives parents insight and helps them discover their child's innate potential for growth and independence. On every adventure, the kids are always under the watchful eye of the show's safety team.
