List of Sonny with a Chance episodes

The first season of the TV show Sonny with a Chance aired on Disney Channel from February 8, 2009, to November 22, 2009. It had 21 exciting episodes! This season introduces you to the main characters. You'll meet Sonny Munroe (played by Demi Lovato), who is new to Hollywood. There's also Tawni Hart (Tiffany Thornton), Chad Dylan Cooper (Sterling Knight), Nico Harris (Brandon Mychal Smith), Grady Mitchell (Doug Brochu), and Zora Lancaster (Allisyn Ashley Arm).

Many other actors appeared in this season too. Some famous guest stars included Selena Gomez.

Making the Show: Season One Production

Filming for the first season started on September 15, 2008. It finished on March 23, 2009. The show was filmed at NBC Studios in Burbank, California.

The Fun Opening Sequence

The show's opening part, called the "opening sequence," is super fun! It starts with a phone ringing. Sonny picks it up and screams with excitement. She just got a call from Hollywood to be on So Random!. She quickly packs her suitcase.

Then, the background changes to an airplane flying to California. After that, you see Sonny in Los Angeles. The sequence also shows the other characters. Tawni quickly shines a star with her picture on it. Chad looks out the window of a fancy limousine. Grady and Nico are always messing around. And Zora is on top of a cool mechanical monster machine she controls!

The opening ends with the whole cast walking together. They stop and pose for the camera. Then, it switches to Sonny walking next to the show's title. She bumps it into place and says "Yow!" right as the music finishes. It's a bit like how the show That's So Raven ended its opening.
