I'll be the first to admit, I almost forgot about this show Brothers, the last two Friday's I was not at home but tonight I will be. Now that the weather is rapidly switching up most of you will be in the house tonight too. The show comes on Fox at 8pm but be sure to check your local listings for time zone changes; I'm on Central time now so I have to check to. The show is loosely based on Football star Micheal Strahans family it stars Michael (Michael Strahan) and Chill (Darryl “Chill” Mitchell) who are two siblings that have never gotten along. Chill is confined to a wheelchair following a car accident and struggling to keep his local sports bar afloat. Michael, an ex-football star, is penniless after being fleeced by his manager and has spent the past few months living off of his fame in New York City. Thanks to the prodding of a loving mother, expertly played by CCH Pounder, they realize that working together (and living together at home with Mom and Dad) may be the only way to move forward. Carl Weathers as the batty family patriarch is a pleasant surprise, CCH Pounder is dazzling as always, and Chill is good for the same laughs he delivered bumping the table in House Party. The dialogue seems authentically black and funny without resorting to “coonin.” ( excerpts in this paragraph are from whatwouldthembido.com)
