Milo lives with his parents, who own a dry-cleaning shop called Scrubby’s with a friendly mechanical robot called Suds. Each episode, Milo and his best friends, Lofty and Lark, interact with Suds to try on different outfits, and the trio are then transported to the world of that specific vocation to learn all about it in a fun and entertaining way. Every vocation is celebrated and shown in a positive light. In fact, Milo discovers that every vocation is amazing, giving a positive message to kids that they can be anything they want to be when they grow up.
Duration: 52×11 minutes

Pitch Perfect: The show’s family dynamic opens the door for situational comedy in Milo’s home. Plus, a wide cast of strong, archetypal characters—in the form of Scrubby’s customers—provide a platform for funny and good-humored dialogue. Very much like current times, Milo’s harmonious world celebrates delivery workers as much as explorers, doctors, nurses, farmers and astronauts.
