Premise.
Wyatt Bernstein is a boy who lives with his mom Mel and his sisters Cleo, Jasmine and Amanda in the city of Portland, Oregon (the location was revealed in the series intro). For his 12th birthday, Wyatt is taken to a store called Build-A-Bestie where he creates a puppet named Crash, who joins the family as the brother he always wanted. Crash and Wyatt must deal with the sisters, while having their brotherly differences and still watching each other's back.
Broadcast.
"Crash &amp; Bernstein" originally premiered on October 8, 2012, on Disney XD. It also aired on Disney Channel. It premiered on November 3, 2012, on Disney XD (Canada), on January 10, 2013, on Disney XD (UK and Ireland), and on February 9, 2013, on Disney XD (South Africa).

Reception.
Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media, which informs parents about media choices for their children, gave "Crash &amp; Bernstein" a three star rating out of five, stating, "This is one of those case-by-case shows that needs you to be mindful of your child's response to what he or she sees on TV". She added, "Since much of the show's laughs result from the characters' misbehavior, it's important that viewers understand the difference between fantasy and reality. If your son and his brother decide to remedy a lack of space in their bedroom by knocking down a wall, that will have more serious consequences than what they see Wyatt and Crash suffer from the same action. If your kids do watch, be sure you talk about how the characters' actions would be received in the real world instead of the TV universe."
Interactivity.
In July 2013 on DisneyXD.com online, viewers could vote for their favorite nose for Crash. The winning nose was revealed during the second season's premiere. In conjunction with the second season's premiere, the website also launched "Crash &amp; Bernstein: Cluck n' Chuck," an interactive game where fans play as Crash and Wyatt and take on the neighborhood. The game is playable on both computer and mobile devices.
