Hey everyone! I've finally thought of the pilot episode for G.I. Jennings! I have also made some changes to the cast! The show is mostly casted.

Cast

Recurring Cast
 * Mikayla Totten as Casey Jennings
 * Unknown as Frankie Jennings
 * Tia Mowry as Shannon Jennings
 * Joey Lawerence as Greg Jennings
 * Elfie Turner as Kendra Fickman
 * Adrian R'Mante as Joey Henderson-Taylor


 * James Stewart as Tanned Sand Boy
 * Jessica Willows as Sella
 * Unknown as Colonial Sims

I have made a few changes. Leo Fickman, Kendra's twin brother, has been cut. I cut him for a few reasons. Both Kendra and Leo would have been best friends to Casey but the show isn't just about Casey, it's about Casey and the family, so I didn't want to make her best friends main characters. Also, I just felt like he was a bit pointless. :P Instead, the kids of the show will be Casey, Kendra, and Frankie, who always tags along with the girls because Casey has to keep watch of him. But if the show is picked up, Kendra will have an older brother who's about 17 and is a bit of a slacker. He'll be a recurring character.

Also, I made Colonial Sims a recurring character instead of a main. And Joey is no longer related to the Jennings'. Instead of Greg's brother, Joey will be Greg's best friend who is very close to the family. Casey and Frankie call him "Uncle Joey" because they think of him as their uncle.

Also I'm still deciding on Frankie's actor. I wanted a Tenzing Trainor look-a-like but he's already going to be in Super Cool Cori. Josh Andrews Jr. was the only one who auditioned for Frankie but I just don't think he has the right look that fits the family. I'm going to keep looking for a Frankie. I think that's it of the casting changes!

Pilot, "Back to the Base"

Casey and Frankie Jennings are two siblings living with their single mother in Boston, Massachusetts. But, when their parents announce they are getting remarried, the two are shocked and learn they will have to move back to Texas and live on their father’s military base again, just like they did when they were infants. Now, the two are tasked with adjusting to the new military lifestyle. And as much as Casey wants to go home, she understands her parents really want this to work so she decides to do all she can to enjoy her new life and look on the bright side, but she finds it hard to do so. She first meets Kendra, a girl who has lived on the base for most of her life. She shows Casey and Frankie around. Frankie is excited to spend some time at the kid’s gym while Casey only wants to spend her time at the spa. But when Casey loses track of Frankie and can’t find him anywhere, she must rally up Kendra and her Uncle Joey to help find him before her parents find out. Meanwhile, Shannon is engulfed in organizing fun family activities on the base, blinding her to the fact that Greg really wants to spend more time with her. And throughout the episode, Casey and Kendra faun over another new face on the base who is a very attractive tanned boy who carries sand around the base.

So what do you guys think? Tell me what you think below so we can talk about picking up the show! Thanks! :D
