What To Watch way to learn is to fall down and get up again—especially when it comes to skateboarding. It’s a good reason to always wearprotective padding when you skate, and just one of the valuable lessons the sport has taught many of the estimated 13 million skateboarders in America. But it’s also the idea behind a show that’s made fans out of parents, skaters and kids who prefer to keep both feet on the ground. The inspiring comedy adventure stars Hutch Dano and Adam Hicks as best friends Zeke and Luther—two confident, complex and ambitious 15-year-old sidewalk surfers on a quest to become world-famous skateboarders like their hero, Tony Hawk. Along the way, they navigate the literal and figurative luge of teen years with all its tricks, grinds, obstacles and occasional slams. Sometimes they fail, but they always learn and evolve. Called “Zeke and Luther,” the program airs on Disney XD. Quick to challenge the boys’ claim to neighborhood skating fame is their friend and foe, Kojo, played by Daniel Curtis Lee. Kojo’s got a big attitude and a big mouth and takes great pleasure in taking Zeke and Luther down a peg wheneverhe can. The comedy adventure “Zeke and Luther” challenges kids to dis- covertheir strengths. Another thorn in their side is Ginger, Zeke’s ingenious 12-yearold sister played by Ryan Newman. She’s more interested in outwitting her brother and his friends than in their skating skills. With stories filled with humor, heart and great skateboarding adventures, producers Matt Dearborn and Tom Burkhard com- bine action and storytelling into funny and inspirational episodes— ones that can teach the value of fun, confidence and never giving up.
