My Brother and Me was a show about an African American family living in Charlotte, North Carolina and their crazy black people adventures. The show aired on Nickelodeon in 1994. Despite being the greatest show of all time the show only had 1 Season of 13 episodes. It is believed a 2
nd season of the show was in the works but was scrapped. There are supposedly 3 episodes that were never released and were left in the editing stages. The show ran in re-runs for literally like 9 years after the initial 13 episodes were released, leading some to believe that new episodes were being aired.
DumbassesThe
show's main characters were two brothers named Alfie and Dee-Dee Parker, hence the title "My Brother and Me". I wonder who the title is referring to, like is Alfie going "Yeah, it's my brother and me or is it Dee-Dee. This show must take place before they started their board game empire.
???????????????????????

Alfie Parker (
Arthur Reggie III): It is unknown if Alfie received top billing as "Brother" or "Me". Alfie was the dope ass 11 year old brother, that Dee Dee looked up to. Dee Dee really annoys Alfie. Alfie enjoys hanging out and causing a ruckus with his best friend Goo and going to the comic book store. Alfie struggles in school and in one episode even got grounded for flushing his failed math test down the toilet and as punishment had to teach his little brother Dee Dee how to dance. In one episode Alfie tries out for the school basketball team but despite being a talented player he his told by the coach that he is a "Hot Dog" and a "Ball Hog" and does not make the team. This makes Alfie feel as if the coach was "
buggin" and treating him like some "buster" and feeling as if his
homies were going to "clown" him. Alfie is usually scheming with an idea or using his extremely active imagination. He eats mayonnaise on raisin bread. Oh and he fucking hates tights and "The Fuzzy
Wuzzy Game".

Derek "Dee Dee" Parker (
Ralph Woolfolk IV): Alfie's little bitch ass brother. Dee Dee really likes following Alfie around. Dee Dee also enjoys hanging out and going to the comic book store with his best friends Harry and Donnell. Alfie once told Dee Dee that the world was coming to an end and a spaceship was coming to get everyone. The story goes that Dee Dee packed all his things and waited on the back porch for an hour. Dee Dee once played a practical joke on Alfie by giving him trick gum from the comic book store giving Alfie bad breath when he was talking to the very attractive "Laura
Naperry" or something like that. Goo once cut his hair just like Cool Doctor Money's hair. Alfie also tricked Dee Dee into eating a very spicy Texas style chili dog that burned his mouth. He also really covets his Alonzo Mourning poster that he exchanged to Goo for a snake. He can't dance.

"Not my
Zo poster!"

Milton "Goo" Berry A.K.A "The
Gooster" or "The
Goomeister"(Jimmy Lee Newman Jr): Goo is Alfie's main man or as he likes to say his "ACE". Goo is a real Eddie Haskell like motherfucker. He likes to make fun of Dee Dee and his friends but when an adult is around he quickly changes his tune. Unlike Alfie, Goo made the basketball team despite the coach thinking his name is "Glue". Goo says the coach calls him that because of his defense because " he can stick anyone out there". Goo also really wants to have sex with Alfie and Dee Dee's sister "Melanie" whom he describes as being fine. He once suffered amnesia after getting hit in the face with a basketball and briefly thought Melanie's friend Dionne was the "fine" one but he hit his head on a table and quickly saw the error of his ways. Goo once imagined that he had his own drink entitled "Goo Punch" complete with it's own theme song.

"1 + 1 is always 2, it's the Goo with a drink (treat) for you, my Goo Punch goes with any snack, so get back
Shaq it's the Goo attack,
Goooooooooooooo,
Goooooooooooo,
Goooooooooooo,
Goooooooooo"
Melanie: "Oh Goo you are all that"
Goo: " I am ain't I and so is my Goo Punch"
Goo: "Come on everybody,
Goooooooooo Punch, Alright now!!,
Goooooooo Punch Hey!!!!
Harry White (Keith "
Bubba"
Naylor) and Donnell Wilburn (Stefan
Wernli): Harry and Donnell are Dee Dee's 2 best friends. Harry is a minority on the show and it is even more enforced with his last name "White". Harry is somewhat of a
spazz. He thinks Spider-Man is
fantasterastic. He also got his mouth burned on the Texas style chili dogs. Donnell states in one episode that he is going to skip being captain of the basketball team and go straight to team general. Despite it not being an official ranking of basketball at the time, he is confident that it will be created just for him. He is also very fond of his roller blades with his graphite compound wheels and saying "don't hold your breath" to ridiculous statements. He also has stage fright. He too suffered a burned mouth from the Texas style chili Dogs.

Melanie Parker (Aisling
Sistrunk): She's a stuck up bitch on the show. Goo thinks she is fine but she hates Goo. Her best friend is Donnell's older sister Dionne. She isn't familiar with the "lingo".

Dionne Wilburn (
Amanda Seales "Diva"): Donnell's older sister and Melanie's best friend. She too is kind of a bitch and does not like Goo or Alfie. According to Goo she has bad breath and a flea market hair weave. She too is unfamiliar with the "lingo".

Roger Parker (
Jim R. Coleman): He is the father of Alfie, Dee Dee, and Melanie. He is a sportswriter. He usually tells stories that turn into a story about a personal experience with his brother Lawrence or "Uncle Lawrence". He enjoys preparing Gumbo.

Jennifer Parker(
Karen E. Fraction): The mom. That's it.

Ms:
Pigney (
Kym Whitley): She runs the comic book shop and is very cheap and enjoys money. Alfie and Goo were once hit in the face with pies form Melanie and Dionne at the comic book store and were forced to clean up the mess from Ms.
Pigney's carpet
dat wuzn't even
payd fo yet.
Settings
Every episode usually showed the characters hanging out in the Parker's house, mostly their living room, the boys' bedroom, and the kitchen. The show also commonly featured the characters in the school cafeteria, playground, gymnasium, or the front entrance. The characters also frequented the comic book store. Each episode usually contained one unique set piece for the episode, such as Goo's bathroom.
I always thought the Comic Book store the characters went to was incredible. The store had a fucking snack bar in it that served chili dogs! There was always a bunch of
badass comics and stuff in the background. It also had an arcade. I remember watching the show wanting to create a comic book store just like it for 11 year
olds to hang out.
Interior Monologues
The show extensively used interior monologues.
Almost every episode featured the character's "thoughts," usually overreacted responses to something another character said. This was especially prevalent in scenes revolving around the boys' father , who frequently told painfully boring stories about his brother, the kids' uncle Lawrence, and forced the kids to endure his favorite dish,
Mumbo-jumbo gumbo.
Celebrity Cameos
In the first episode of the show,
Charlotte Hornets all-star
Kendall Gill made a guest appearance. The young shooting guard came to the comic book store to impart wisdom to the children. It was here that Alfie famously remarked "Oh my God, it's Kendall Gill!" Similarly, on the episode, "Robin Hood Play",
George Jung is seen briefly in the audience wearing a
t-shirt saying, "Howdy
doo, kids! Remember, Just Say No!"
The show also featured former Orlando Magic small forward Dennis Scott as a coach. In the episode Basketball Tryouts, he serves as the coach who picks the final teams for the juniors and seniors.
Final Thoughts
Overall this is the best show ever created. It was just canceled because kids in 1994 were racists. The only character who went on to have a good career was the actress who played the character Dionne (Amanda Diva) she was the host of MTV2's Sucka Free Countdown and can be found on many VH1 programs. The guy who played Alfie became a rapper named "ShowBizzness" he likes to smoke weed and was shot 7 times a few years ago and made a full recovery. Dee Dee is a student athlete star catcher in College. The mother unfortunately died of cancer and the dad usually plays someone working at Lowes or enjoying a sandwich in a commercial. Not much is known about the other actors, but I heard Goo worked at a Pizza Hut in California.
The show has never been released on DVD and probably never will, but you can find poor quality fan made bootleg DVDs online. I have one so if you don't have any luck finding one I can maybe get you some episodes.
