happy holidays, everyone! my gift to y’all is my final video of the year! (and one i’ve been wanting to do for a VERY long time) … a retrospective on the old 90s Nickelodeon classic that made Nickelodeon history as the first sitcom with a predominately black cast - My Brother & Me.

while it only ran a single season with 13 episodes (surprising, i know), it seriously changed diversity in kid’s television. so, in this video, i talk about its history, how it made a lasting impression on black youth, why it was cancelled, were the actors are now, & whether or not a show like it could work today.

i even talked to one of the creators (calvin brown jr), so i got some behind-the-scenes details too.

this is definitely my favorite video of 2021, so let’s have some fun with this 90s Nickelodeon retrospective!
