We have a couple of "kid" fish out of water in this series. Bobby, (Robert Ri'chard) and his family The Walkers, moved to New York City from Los Angeles because Dad, Andre (Rondell Sheridan) was a music producer and needed to be in The City for his clients. His wife Vanessa (Angela Means) was a successful lawyer. Bobby, being an only child and in a new location, felt pretty much alone, but was trying to take everything in stride.

Cousin Skeeter (performed by Muppeteer Drew Massey and voiced by Bill Bellamy) was a puppet boy who originally lived in Georgia, but who moved up north to New York City stay with his cousins, to help tutor Bobby in Algebra, since he was a nerd and a math whiz.

This being a Nickelodeon show, of course the focus was on the two boys, who had the typical scholastic challenges, with schoolwork, bullies and friends, like Nina (Meagan Good), who lives in his high-rise, gets with Bobby and they start a mutual crush thing going on.

One of the unique elements of the program is that even though Cousin Skeeter was a puppet, no one treated or reacted to him any differently than any of the other characters. Eventually another puppet, Nicole (voiced by Tisha Campbell) appeared at school for a few episodes, to give Skeeter someone to play off of as well. That style choice might have helped set the stage for "LazyTown" just a few years later, where a bunch of puppet kids populated that program, and no one ever acknowledged that's who they were, either.

Plots of "Cousin Skeeter" focused on Skeeter's playful, rambunctious but good-natured personality and how that got him and sometimes got Bobby into trouble. Skeeter had a continuing mock feud with the building's doorman Ned (Floyd Levine), and Bobby's parents were counting the days till Bobby and Skeeter go to college so they can have some quiet time on their own. And Skeeter was fine with anyone and everyone, as long as you never commented on his height (or lack thereof).

New York plays a part because Skeeter claimed to be friends with some celebrities, like Shaquille O'Neal, Dennis Rodman and MC Lyte. Plus hanging out in Central Park, attending school, commuting around town, and finding that diner that serves up the best pancakes for breakfast are all key factors.

"Cousin Skeeter" was, for its time, another good example of representation of Black Americans on television, especially for younger kids to see. The show featured all the things you would want in a kids' sitcom, with the elements of fun, reason, intelligence, morality and understanding. And it featured a roster of guest stars, like Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell who turned up at a Dude Ranch that the kids attended, Downtown Julie Brown who played herself, and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who was another student in school.

This show deserved a lot more attention than the standard viewers on Nick gave it. It was popular with the demographic, but it probably would have been a fun watch for the parents and maybe some who weren't parents!

I'd like to point a fact out to most adults.This was made for kids for God's sake stop giving it terrible reviews.The plot is aimed at making situations in everyday life look as cheerful as anything to give kids a lighter look at life.The same goes for many other Nick shows e.g Brother's Garcia and my brother and me.So i don't know why most adults and mature tend to be blind at this simple fact and are hell bent on burning down the hard work of hardworking black people like Nick Cannon and Shaq.So the star of the show is a puppet big deal so was the entire cast in Sesame street.Why because it was created to entertain kids.Please people try and understand that not all shows created especially Nick shows are aimed at a more mature audience.

Very original series from the late 90s. I don't think I've ever seen a sitcom like this elsewhere. Skeeter is a puppet, je but is never recognized as such by the other protagonists. The character is hilarious and has a crazy charisma (for a puppet). The series is not content with gags and humor, there are messages behind. It is also a series that makes a lot of references to pop and African American culture. A series that I recommend for everyone, young and old! The best is to watch it as a family ! Maybe a sequel in the future?

I happened to come across the cousin Skeeter series by chance one evening and it was nostalgia that resurfaced. This sitcom is so original, Skeeter is funny and touching with these gags and delusional situations. It is truly the best and most original production of Nickelodeon. If only there could be a sequel!

I love most of the guest stars on the show they bring in so much talent and it is just so funny Robert Rashard is a brilliant young man, Bill Bellamy is great as Skeeter are used to laugh so hard watching the show that was an episode where the guy Doc from Lampo in the chop shop worke Bill Bellamy is great as Skeeter are used to laugh so hard watching the show that was an episode where the guy Doc from Love Boat and his cohort the chop shop worker, stole Bobby and Nina's bikes and Skeeter caught them I've probably seen that episode at least 10 times it's hilarious and the guest actors are just awesome !! I don't know why this show did not run for like three more years at least ????

I absolutely love Cousin Skeeter. I am only 13 so my review won't be as professional as others. This show is funny. But I would like to disagree with something in the other reviews. Skeeter is completely appropriate for kids. He does not wear pimp clothes as I have seen said. I love this show and I would recomend for parents to allow their kids to watch this show. It is a classic.

This show is perfect for all those 6-12 year olds out there who are too old for Barney/Tellytubbies but too young for Friends or Seinfield. In the funny episodes, Skeeter always manages to get into trouble and his cousin Bobby always gets blamed. Somehow though Skeeter always comes through and saves Bobby's back. The show is funny, creative, and well written for KIDS. Teenagers might find some parts amusing but I would suggest a more grown up show. A Nick classic.

WOW it seems like it was more than 6 years ago..i was 10 or ll at the time and i remember my brother and i rushing through last minute homework and scrubbing dinner dishes to get to the t.v and catch this show. Even though the main character was a ~~puppet~~ (: That didn't matter after watching the show and it was just funny to see how cousin skeeter did things as if he were no different from anyone else and how the cast treated him as a regular teenager. That alone used to make me laugh for the half hour. Granted the show wasn't the best show that was on Nickelodeon, it is a definite stand out from my childhood and it would be crazy if this series along with "My Brother and Me" was released on DVD (NOW THATS AN IDEA AIN'T IT?)

I agree with the commentary that this is an excellant show for kids 6-12. Forget about the kids I like the show myself especially the themesong by 702 and I'm 30, but as a parent I'd like to see a mixture of shows. For example instead of Cuz'n Skeeter always getting into or causing trouble let him be positive thoroughout. Lastly, I was disappointed while our family went to Universal Studios (California) in the Nickelodeon store there was no Cousin Skeeter souvenirs or memorabilia. What up with that?

What an atrocious piece of garbage this show is! Why would Nickelodeon put this trash on the air? Mainly to make kids dumber perhaps? The show stars this annoying puppet named Skeeter, who ends up living at his cousin Bobby's house in the big apple. Of course when Skeeter's around, there's always trouble, and Bobby gets in trouble for Skeeter's mishaps. So in the end Skeeter pulls off something bogus (and sometimes stupid) that saves Bobby from even more trouble. But the worst things about this show is how Bobby and his parents treat Skeeter like he's a human being, and Nina the boys annoying, fast talking friend (and whom Bobby has a crush on).

Thank god this show's dead. This show is a pure example of how Nickelodeon has gone downhill. These stupid shows they make keep getting worse, and worse as they come. Please when will it end?!
