The main idea of the show was super cool! It was about a 12-year-old boy named Adam. He had a special power: he could call on his ancestors from long ago to help him. These ancestors would pop up from different times in history. They would help Adam with his everyday problems, making for some hilarious and sometimes tricky situations! Anthony Lewis played Adam for the first two seasons. Later, Alex Cooke took over the role for the third season.
