from

Katie Clarke (Leah Pipes, Clubhouse) may never forgive her veterinarian father, Danny (D.W. Moffett, For Your Love) for dragging their entire blended family out of New York City to spend a year living in a broken-down lodge called The Blue Antelope on a game reserve deep inside South Africa. In fact, the one area of agreement among Katie, her 11-year-old brother Chase (K'sun Ray, Smith), their rebellious teenage step-brother Jesse (Andrew St. John, General Hospital) and 7-year-old step-sister Mia (Mary Matilyn Mouser, Eloise), is that Danny has lost his mind.

my take
Northern Exposure and Everwood move to South Africa. It literally takes over the 7th Heaven slot and metaphorically takes over the family torch. Decent slot for this even opposing Sunday Night Football and The Simpsons. There'd better be some amazing scenery, and since it's set in South Africa, let's actually learn about that country in the course of storytelling. It is going for a pretty specific audience: the one that doesn't have 7th Heaven to watch anymore.
