The World’s Fair Fiasco
10 episodes · 2012
In the premiere season of "Good Heavens!", the aristocratic Pringle family’s world is turned upside down when Arthur’s "can't-miss" investment in steam-powered underwater mail-carriages sinks along with their entire fortune. Evicted from their manor, Arthur and Michelle must move their daughters—the mortified 12-year-old Jamille and the fearless 8-year-old Nicki—into a cramped city tenement.
1The Tea-Hat Debacle
Twelve-year-old Jamille is desperate to prove she is a "Modern Young Lady" by joining the local Ladies' Cycling Club, but her dreams of elegance are crushed when her 8-year-old sister, Nicki, accidentally breaks her expensive new bicycle. To fix the situation before their mother, Michelle, finds out, the sisters enter a high-stakes street race against the neighborhood boys. Meanwhile, Arthur tries to "coach" them using a series of overly complicated physics equations and a very loud megaphone, while Michelle secretly bets the grocery money on Nicki’s chaotic riding style.

A famous painter wants to paint Jamille. Nicki keeps "fixing" the painting when the artist isn't looking to make herself the star.
