Show Summary

  • Ended

Sister, Sister first aired in April 1994 as a mid-season replacement on ABC, and continued on that network until the series moved to the WB in the fall of 1995. The series centered around twin girls, separated at birth, who suddenly found each other after 14 years.

Tia Landry was the studious twin from Detroit, where her mom Lisa worked as a seamstress; Tamera Campbell was the boy-crazy twin from the suburbs, where her dad Ray owned a limousine service. After their unexpected encounter in a department store, Ray reluctantly allowed Tia and Lisa to move into his home for the girls' sake. The girls' neighbor was Roger Evans, an annoying kid who had a crush on them both.

In the 1997-1998 season, Tia started dating Tyreke Scott, a reformed street kid who worked as a mechanic for Ray, and Jordan Bennett became Tamera's boyfriend. Roger was suddenly dropped from the cast at this point.

The final season showed the twins entering college with their beaux. The girls were ultimately reunited with their birth father, and Lisa married her boyfriend Victor in the final episode.

Characters:

Tia is a all American bookworm. She is one of the smartest kids at her school.

Tamera totally huge party animal. Her IQ is low but she seems to manage well. And by the way, she is a big fan of Coolio's music. She can be smart when she wants to, but usually uses 'the twin thing' to get by on tests by making tia do it for her.

Lisa is a fashion designer. She is a great romodel for both Tia and Tamera sometimes she can be very hectic. Also she's loud, but nice.

Ray is the total opposite of Lisa but he is a great influence on both the girls. He is single but his love life is not all that great.

Roger is Tia and Tamera's unknowing neighbor, and he is always around or in there house he has a huge crush on both the girls. (Seasons 1-5)

  • Sister, Sister was a show that focused on being an individual while growing into adulthood, but the funny characters are what I remember most!

    Back when Disney was in its prime, shows like Sister,Sister and Boy Meets World were providing young kids with intelligent humor. I'm so grateful to grow up when I did. Thank you GOD I'm not subjected to the stuff on Disney nowadays. Suite Life? I've never seen such bad acting associated with such high ratings. Anywhoo, I loved this show because it didn't feed kids shallow plots with obvious moral lessons at the end of each episode. Lisa was the epitome of the "fun" mom, Ray was the "stern but loving" dad, and Roger was the "annoying but charming" next-door neighbor. Sister, Sister was just fun to watch. I also loved how the producers would throw in references to music from the 1960s, such as Motown. The episode structure is similar to other young adult comedy tv shows - the characters get into a pickle, but with help from others, survive and learn more about themselves. However, unlike other young adult comedy tv shows, this show is fresh! Watchable, lovable! The characters vivacious; it's like a feel good movie, except in tv form.moreless

  • The show is a heartwarming family show. It is the African-American version of Full House. The story is great, the characters are hilarious and the mystery and background around Tia and Tamera is the best to ever hit the small screen. They did a great...moreless

    ...job portraying adopted twins. I like the fact that their lives started at age 12 so we didn't miss out on their history together. The comedy makes me crack up especially Lisa. The way the characters are is fantastic and I like it that Tamers and Lisa have the same personalities like Ray and Tia. The acting was not bad but it was not their best. Sometimes they made the storylines look a little too dramatic with the way they acted. When this show ended I was not that sad but it was a great show for the whole family that people can relate to in so many different ways. Hopefully they'll keep the re-runs and make the DVDs.moreless

    Sister Sister, - Sister Sister was about two twins seperated at birth who find each other years latter. One is smart but is poor while the other one is dumb but is rich. They find each other and move in together. Even though their parents arent the best of friends. One is named Lisa she is into fashion but is poor and likes to eat alot. The other one has a father named Ray who is rich from a limo busness. They come together to live as a family. The show was funny in the start but by the finally season it had grown unfunny and didnt represent why we watched it.moreless

    Based on the family shows that were on at the time, this was such a fresh and original show that it was a favorite from the start. The entire cast is hilarious and the chemistry among the cast is just right. On this show, all of the characters are so relatable and you feel like you know at least one of the characters portrayed. The topics that are covered on the show really do teach so many life lessons and balance comedy and drama so well. It came time to end, but it's run was great and the show was great.moreless
