I really liked this Nick show, in fact it was the first Nick show that I remember that I started liking, besides Clarrisa Explains It All.. which also could have lasted longer!

I thought all the actors had great chemistry and I don't understand why this show only lasted 1 season.I believed I liked every episode on this show.I wonder what all the actors are doing now... planning for college I guess!

Yes, it was an excellent show, with a cast that had very good chemistry considering that the cast was full of new talents. I loved Goo, and all of the other characters, but at that time the Saturday night and sunday night line-ups for Nick were not doing very well in the ratings. While Clarrisa, Pete & Peter, and Roundhouse would consume acceptable ratings for a small network My Brother and Me was panned by critics, leading to a large drop in the ratings. At the end of the season, it was put into about a month of reruns, leading to it's cancellation a while later.

I remember that show. I liked it. I never understood why they didn't make more episodes. But I was little and I didn't know about how the ratings system worked and why there were not as much episodes of cable shows as there were shows on ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX.

At one point, Nick was so desperate to get good ratings that they began promoting all live-action Nickelodeon shows on buses and billboards in NYC. However, funding for those were hard, and the advertising lasted shorter than a finger-nail. I also remember them showing it about 3 or 4 times a day in different timeslots...which made things worse, because they'd be seeing the same episodes over and over again, and taking up way too much space.
