It starred Robert Ri`chard as Bobby, a young boy, whose life changed when his strange cousin Skeeter comes to live with his family. With Skeeter`s help, Bobby learns life lessons and tackles the general ups and downs of growing up. The show also included Meagan Good as Bobby`s friend Nina, Rondell Sheridan as Bobby`s father Andre, and Angela Means as Bobby`s mother Vanessa. Skeeter is portrayed by a live-hand puppet with Bill Bellamy providing his voice. Within the show, Skeeter is treated like a regular human and no mention of him being a puppet is made. Although the series was shot in a single-camera format, the show used a laugh track.
