Any chance this will come to dvd? This sounded like a good show and I never knew it existed.

Yes, it's on DVD via Amazon's Made-On-Demand.

I used to like it back in the day but I think I liked it because it was so bad. I still might get the DVD. I don't know.

I watched the re-runs throughout the mid-late 1990s. It was one of those shows that (to me) felt like it was on forever since Nickelodeon aired the reruns a lot, but it only had 13 eps. ha ha

I was looking up info. about the show and I just found out that the mom (Karen Fraction) died in 2007 at 49 from breast cancer.

I liked this one better than some of the other sitcoms Nick was airing at the time- glad to see you can get it on dvd now!

Whaaat!??? OMG! I didn't know that! I met her back in early 98' when we were both auditioning for a Denny's commercial and realized that she was the mother on "My Brother And Me". Wow!

I loved that show when I was a kid. Hardly hear anyone talking about it. So sad that Karen died. Didn't know that.

49 is too young. IMO.

And, Goo Punch! That pic brings back "goo"d memories. Ha.

I don't remember Goo Punch....but I do remember GAK and Floam! That stuff was awesome!

I use to love this show. Shame it only lasted one season. It deserved more.

Goo...Punch

Alfie, can you teach me how to dance?

Ralph Woodfolk, the actor who played Dee Dee told the Morehouse Student Newspaper that the series was intended for a second season but a major fallout between the producers and creators killed it. He lamented on how black folks just can't work together and we had something that people loved, it was a high rated show and a history being made (it was the first black created and cast series for the network at the time).

Amanda Seales aka Amanda Diva is popular in the indie music circuit and used to produce Diva Speak TV and has a few albums out. Karen Fraction died in 2007 of breast cancer. The actor who played the father went on to do other projects along with Kym Fields (who played Ms. Pickney of the Arcade).

Woodfolk is now a police officer and the rest of the cast didn't do any other work in the business after the cancellation. More victims of the 'cute as a kid but terrible as an adult actor' child actor curse.

I watched it every Saturday, I could have sworn they replayed the same six episodes over and over. I didn't know there were 13 episodes.
