Tween sitcom to be filmed completely in Michigan

A tween, if you don't know, is that time in one's life when you're not exactly a teen and you're not exactly a pre-teen. You know, it's between. It's tween. With that said, a show about 'em will be entirely done here in Michigan and produced by Ferndale's own S3 Entertainment Group.
