My Brother and Me

O.K. I admit it when I first saw My Brother and Me I thought that the acting was awful but when I started to watch it I saw a great show for kids.I am an African American and I never once thought of the show as stereotypical.I always thought that they lived in the suburbs of North Carolina,not in the hood.MY brother and me was a show about children's problems such as selling candy to make money,trying out for the basketball team,pulling pranks on your siblings,and dealing with bullies.When it did air on Nickelodeon I taped as many episodes as I could before they took it off for good and I am glad I did.This show kinda reminds me of Leave it to Beaver with an older sister.Dee Dee is Beaver,Alfie is Wally,Goo is Eddie Haskell you know devious around kids always sucking up around the parents.As far as the thinking out loud how long did that last on The Wonder Years?To sum it all up My Brother and Me was and still is a great show for kids to relate to.If Nick would have given it a chance they could have taken acting classes. They have had worst shows on the air such as 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd and All That!

I'm sickened by all the bad reviews for this show. Yes, it's blaxploitation for kids. Yes the acting is tad bit bad in some places and the intelligence of the plotlines for each episode is questionable. Yes the kids are put into strange and unlikely situations. This show DOES not however, regardless of what some people have said, stereotype blacks nor make whites look like idiots. I myself am African-American and have African-American AND White friends who talk jive, play basketball, and hang out but not in the 'hood. There really is no reason to hate this show. It's simple wholesome fun.

My brother and me is one the finest works of art i have ever seen. I was suprised when it didnt bring home and emmy's. Im hoping for a release of a season one, commemorative, collectors edition DVD set. I can't believe this masterpiece was cancelled after one season.

Some people look down upon My brother and me. But not I. The actors portrayals of Alfie and DeeDee as well as Goo and the Dad with his crazy gumbo ideas played with my emotions. Their passionate performances ran through my heart like an errent locomotive.

I think we all remember the episode where Kendall Gill came to the comic book shop and alfie said "DeeDee, go get Kendall Gills autograph!" or the even more moving, "Goo Punch, Everybody, Goo Punch, Come one now, Goo Punch!"

BRILLIANT

I agree with the other commenter in saying that this show was an utter and total waste of airspace. I was 9 in 1994 when this show first debued and it was a total blow. I expected it to be better when I saw the previews but it was a grave dissapointment when the show aired, I am really glad that they cancelled it, because this was a really tired show.

I used to watch this show when I was growing up. I remember it pretty well. If you ask me, it was a good show. I only remember the theme song very well. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. My favorite episode is the one where Dee Dee (Ralph Woolfolk IV) gets a bad haircut. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I don't think I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
