Tonight on Fox at 8p the hysterical Brothers debuts and the two parents talked about the show at the set visit I went to. CCH Pounder and Carl Weathers have such a great rapport together that is a pleasure to watch them working together both on the show and in person!
Brothers is show about family! Mike Trainor (Michael Strahan), a former football player is called home by his mom, Adele (CCH Pounder) because she tells him his dad (Carl Weathers) is sick. Being the good son, he rushes home and has to deal with his brother, Chill who hates him because he still blames him for the accident that left him in the wheelchair as a teen. Chill owns a sports bar, that isn’t doing well and having his brother back in town could really help business. Adele admits she lied that Coach was sick to get her boys back together because she knows that Michael lost all his money to his manager who ran away with it, Chill’s business is going down the drain and there really is something wrong with Coach. Might sound like a whole bunch of seriousness, but really it is one of the funniest family sitcoms I have seen in a while! The first time I saw the pilot I was on a plane, and I was laughing so loud that some one in the row behind me told me to keep it down. So that should give you a hint how hilarious this show really is!
On tonight’s two episodes, Mike returns home to the house he bought for his parents and realizes that his short visit will be a lot more permanent. During the second episode he learns that one of the disadvantages of moving home is what happens when you bring a girl back to your momma’s house. Let’s say he learns the hard way, that it won’t be happening again. Chill gives him some advice how and where he can sneak a woman in without his mother finding out. Meanwhile Coach learns not to forget his anniversary. In this episode we really see the comedic side of CCH Pounder that we really haven’t seen in a while and she told me as of now we haven’t seen the real her on the show, but as the sitcom goes on we probably will get more of her!!!
Carl Weathers said he is having a lot of fun on the show and as you can tell with my interviews with all 4 cast members, he is not the only one! I promise you, if you check out the show tonight you will see all their fun radiate through your TV. So check out Brothers tonight and every Friday at 8p for the perfect family comedy to end your week with!!!
