The cast of Everybody Hates Chris is hard at work over what should be the summer break. Why? Because growth spurts, deepening voices and other signs of puberty haunt the cast. SFGate.com reports on the summer work schedule.

"I know ... This is all my fault. All my fault," Tyler James Williams tells the Associated Press. But in truth, all the young cast members are showing signs of growth: "We knew if we kept feeding them, they would keep growing and the hormonal changes would kick in," said series co-creator and co-executive producer Ali LeRoi.

So the show is rushing to film as much as possible before the kids start looking less kidlike. "There's a cute factor that people kind of like to hold on to. So being able to shoot a bit early, I think, helps us."

We’ve been amazed to see how tall Tyler is getting – soon he’ll tower over everyone but his Julius, played by Terry Crews – but we can’t help but feel sorry for him and all the other kids, having to deal with puberty in front of the cameras.
