Wingin' It

- Season 1

(2010)

Carl Montclaire is unpopular and very, very unlucky. That is also why he is a perfect challenge for Porter Jackson, a young angel sent from above. Porter is an A.I.T. (Angel In Training), and Carl is his exam assignment. If he pulls it off, he gets angel wings and a real halo, and his mission is to make Carl the most popular guy in his high school, Bennett High. First step is trying to win a basketball one-on-one match against the captain on the school team.

Carl says he wants facial hair for maturity, and Porter magically (by accident) gives him a beard that covers his whole face. It turns out that there is no way to make it disappear by magic, and he has to wear it for a whole week. He tries to cover it by disguising himself as a substitute teacher.

Carl tells Porter that he is going to beat Serge in dodgeball, which Serge accidentally overhears, and he tells the entire class to aim at Carl in the dodgeball class. When Porter helps Carl to magically avoid all the balls, a slight problem occurs. Meanwhile, Alex is hoping to win a contest in which he can win a concert ticket - if he finds all the letters inside the juice boxes. Jane promises to give him the last letter he lacks if he does a few things for her first. There is one problem: She doesn't have the letter.

Carl ditches Alex to be the beautiful Brittany's lab partner. But when Porter uses some of his angel magic to make Carl see Brittany for what she really is , Carl learns that Brittany isn't the best lab partner after all.

Carl and Porter throws a party at Carl's house, but aside from Jane and Alex, no one shows up. But when Brittany and a couple of her friends drop by later that evening and the word gets out from her, people storms into his house and the party is a huge success. However, Angela stops the party and grounds Carl and Porter. So when Brittany asks Carl to DJ the school dance, the guys must find a way to sneak out of the house unattended. Meanwhile, Jane teaches Serge how to dance, so he can impress one of Brittany's friends.

In another attempt at increasing Carl's popularity, Porter makes Carl lie about working on a store at the mall, which every popular kid at Bennett High talks about. He applies for a job there, but has to impress the manager by trying to work one afternoon to be hired. Jane and Alex are at the same mall, experiments with people's honesty, an experiment Carl originally should have been a part of. The day doesn't turn out as expected for either of them.

One of the cheerleaders gets injured and one spot is open in the cheerleading squad. Despite Carl being reluctant to join, Porter fakes an audition for him and he gets in. With the help of Porter's magic, he soon becomes the star of the team, making captain Brittany more than a little jealous. Meanwhile, Jane reads a popular book of which someone has ripped out the final chapter. However, a surprise twist makes her see the opportunity of a lifetime.

Jane runs for class president and wants Carl to be vice president. Carl agrees and Porter is more than willing to help in any way that he can with his magic. But Brittany and Serge doesn't like the idea of Jane and Carl at the top of the student council, and they nominate Porter to run against them. Porter tries to withdraw, but isn't allowed by the student counselor, and everything he does to prevent people from voting for him makes him even more popular. Meanwhile, Dr. Cassabi and Mrs. Lennox have a flirt going on.

Carl's mother does volunteer work at school and is acting pretty embarrassing towards Carl. So in an attempt for her not to recognize him for the rest of the week, Porter does a magic trick on him. Only, it doesn't work as planned: Carl gets invisible, no one can see or hear him, or recognize him; it is like he never existed. The whole world has changed: Alex is now Angela's son, Jane dresses and acts like Brittany, and Serge is a girl called Sergina. The only solution might come through an unlikely source. Also, on the other side Carl meets another A.I.T., a girl ...

Carl and Jane does a presentation in front of class, in which a nervous Carl completely flunks and literally ruins everything by disappointing and physically hurting Jane, almost killing Alex, stammering throughout it all, and getting teased by the jocks. Then Porter magically turns back time and he gets a second chance to do the presentation, which goes great. But it turns out that there is no stopping to the time loop - he has to do the presentation over and over and over again.

Carl feels overlooked by everyone around him - everybody seems to have something better to do than notice him. Porter magically makes him the center of all attention, and now leaves it to Carl to do something about it. Porter makes it so everybody but the ones who loves him now love him. In the beginning, he loves it, but he is about to find out how hard the life of a celebrity can be. Meanwhile, Brittany fails in English, and is assigned to work in Jane's newspaper as punishment, something Jane is not entirely happy with.

Jane writes a play she plans to set up at school, in which Porter persuades Carl to try out for the lead role, so Carl can get popularity and a stage kiss from Brittany, while Porter finally may earn his angel wings. But Porter is the one who gets cast, while Carl doesn't even get a role - because that is what people come to see. Meanwhile, Dr. Cassabi is to get a review visit from his supervisor, whom he doesn't take seriously. However, the supervisor has the angel flu and is replaced by a woman, Mildred Stern, who is far stricter than the supervisor.
