  • In 1994, Nickelodeon premiered 'My Brother and Me.' Viewers fell in love with Alfie and Dee-Dee’s heartwarming dynamic as they were raised in a stable and loving middle-class environment. But after one season, the show - and most of its stars - disappeared. Here's what happened.

      @@Tornado1994 That doesn't make sense though. If Nickelodeon wanted to they could've had both shows. This is the same network that repeated Rugrats so often that it ended up the #1 cartoon in the US. Unless if they were like "well we can't have more than 1 BLACK show on our network" but then how do you explain Cousin Skeeter and Allen Strange?
      Even with the disagreement, people disagree on set and in the writing room all the time. How would that be enough to get a show cancelled? something is missing from this explanation...

    This show meant so much to me as a young black brotha even back then. You would think that show had multiple seasons cause they ran the show til at least 1999. That’s my whole childhood right there and the whole Nickelodeon really. I think most of us boys had a crush on Kym Whitley on this show.😍😍Oh the memories. Amanda Seales been in the entertainment game for a LONG TIME. Who could forget GOO PUNCH? Kids show used to mean something back in the day. I don’t know what shows kids could possibly hold in high regards in later years. They’d have to go back and watch this show and Gullah Gullah Island. The impact of this show that had ONE SEASON can’t be said enough. The impact that this show had on is old timers(us 90’s kids are getting old) is incredible. I looked up the cast some years back and I saw that Karen Fraction died. I was very saddened by the news especially since several years passed by without me knowing. RIP to her.

I also remember Mighty Max which was the boy version of Polly Pocket, Energizer Bunny, 7 up commercials with Cool Spot, a little bit of Muppet Babies, Hungry Hungry Hippos and the commercial for it, Slinky commercial from the 80’s too, I think. I think that commercial was still being shown in the early 90’s, Burger King’s Club toys, a little bit of Tiny Toon Adventures and it’s McDonald’s toys from ‘92, Dr. Octopus McDonald’s Toy, X-men intro, X-men bubblegum tattoos, Power Rangers, and Amazing Fruit Gummy Bears. I remember the movies Dennis the Menace, Richie Rich too, I think, a little bit of Jurassic Park, a little bit of Free Willy movies, but I remember the sequel more because of the necklace it came with. I remember a little bit of Thumbelina, Angels in the Outfield, Lion King, A Goofy Movie, Little Rascals movie, The Flintstones movie, The Flintstones movie toys, The Mask, the movie Casper the Friendly Ghost and it’s glow in the dark toys, the glass cups of Batman Forever, and a little bit of the movie Batman Forever, but I remember more of the hype for that movie, and I used to play a Batman vs. Penguin version of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em with my older brother in late ‘95, Jumanji, The Indian and the Cubpoard, and more on VHS.
      I remember some of 2 Stupid Dogs, a little bit of Biker Mice From Mars, a little bit of Swat Katz and Swat Katz action figures and the Street Sharks action figures too. A little bit of The Busy World of Richard Scarry. I remember the sitcom Martin a little bit. I remember some All That, Kenan and Kel, I remember seeing Kel from All That dress up like Oprah. Are You Afraid of the Dark? The episodes The Tale of the Midnight Madness, The Tale of the Dream Machine, The Tale of Station 109.1, The Tale of Dead Man’s Float, The Tale of the Chameleon with Tia and Tamara, The Tale of the Dollmaker, and The Tale of Laughing in the Dark are the most memorable to me. I remember that show from around early 90’s to around ‘96, and Kablam. My older cousin used to make up scary stories and read Goosebumps to me at night in ‘96. She used to make up stories about a monster named Green Eyes that lived in the woods nearby where we used to live, but I had a lot of good times.

    I knew for some time there were creative differences that stopped this show from continuing which is ridiculous as it was a simple premise -
    the kids got into misadventures and learned their lesson by episode end. The characters even had catchphrases and tropes like the Dad's long winded stories with the kids entering a monolougues. It wrote itself basically. How do you mess that up?

    I remember hearing about the mother passing away, I thought that might have been the reason that contributed to the cancellation of the series, but I never could’ve imagined the real reasson.
    Being a young Hispanic, growing up in this country it gave me some insight, but it was more than that because I was genuinely interested and entertained by the adventures of Alfie and his brother, Didi

    When the IMDB website used to have message boards, I vaguely remember reading the actor who played the older bro became a rapper and the younger one turned to the Church. Supposedly the actor who became a rapper went down a “bad path” but since it wasn’t mentioned, I’m just going to assume he’s doing well and I’m glad for that.
    It’s a shame this show was cancelled after one season because I see it could have gotten much bigger had it continued.
