I like this comment:
Brother's Keeper (1998-1999)
"We don't even remember this show."
"Remember Brother's Keeper? Neither do we. But apparently it made a big enough impact to be recycled into what we now know of as Two and a Half Men on CBS. I guess they were just missing the *****ebags the first time around."
I remember always waiting those Friday nights when all my homework was done and onto TGIF with the classics I'm embarrased now to have watched like Full House and the good ones like Family Matters, Perfect Strangers and the semi-good ones like Step By Step, Boy Meets World (before it turned to teen sappy mush).
Hanging With Mr. Cooper which started as a black version of Three's Company on Tuesday's went the tween route on Friday's.
The mid-90's had the funny Teen Angel which got canned too quickly followed by stinkers like Baby Talk, Camp Wilder, Sabrina The Teenage Witch and the mentioned Brother's Keeper.
