My Brother and Me

My Brother and Me is a 1994, American, sitcom television series. It was co-created by Ilunga Adell and Calvin Brown, Jr. Production was by Burns & Burns.

Plot
This series revolves around an Afro-American family named the Parkers from the west side of Charlotte, North Carolina, especially on the two sons/brothers named Alfie and Deedee. In addition to journeying through the typical, daily situations of life, they often get into hilarious situations at the same time along the way.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It's notable for being Nick's very first show to star a predominantly American black cast.
 * 2) The cinematography looks decent and professionally done enough.
 * 3) The writing of the episodes' stories/plots is solid.
 * 4) Several great and memorable characters.
 * 5) The acting is some of the finest ever filmed and brought to screen.
 * 6) Strongly catchy, instrumental theme song.
 * 7) Unforgettably great jokes and hilarious moments.
 * 8) The life lessons presented are down-to-earth.
 * 9) The Goo Punch rap, but not for the song being among the greatest. It's featured in Goo's fantasy pertaining to a commercial in which he stars promoting the drink in one episode, and while it's catchy, it's too short and simplistic. But the absurdity of it is what makes it one of the most memorable moments from the show and it's possible that it's so bad that it ironically became good because of that.
 * 10) It's noteworthy for including Kym Whitley as the comic book store owner, Mrs. Pinckney, in an early role.
 * 11) Catchphrases like "Don't hold your breath", frequently stated by one of Deedee's friends, Donnell Wilburn.
 * 12) In 1996 and '97, it earned an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Youth or Children's Series/Special.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some may be annoyed by the running gag of Dionne's constantly chatty and melodramatic nature.
 * 2) The series ended sooner than it should have and deserved to do so.
 * 3) The DVD isn't available anywhere else but Amazon. However, it should be more widely available elsewhere as well.

Trivia

 * A second season was intended, but that ended up never happening due to the creators and producers failing to reach an agreement on what direction to take the show next.
 * The actor who played Deedee Parker, Arthur Woolfolk IV, is now an Atlanta-based police officer who has appeared in several Be Smart and Be Safe PSAs shown on True Crime Network.
 * The actor who played Alfie Parker, Reggie Noble III, would later become a rapper who performs under the stage name, Show Biz.
