Sister,Sister, our favorite
sit-com, was made by Emmy award-winning executive producer
Suzanne dePasse especially
for our favorite twins, Tia Dashon and Tamera Darvette Mowry.
It first aired in ABC, but
was canceled after two seasons. Then WB picked it up.
After changing to the WB,
Tia and Tamera have won 3 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards for
best actresses. We should
all give the WB king-size hugs for that.
Sister, Sister is also
a huge show outside the US. You can in fact view it in every single
country in Europe. NICKELODEON
covers the UK, while for example TVNORGE
covers Norway. This
is cool because you get an international crowd.
THE SISTER SISTER HISTORY
After being separated
after birth, Tia and Tamera bumps into each other at a Detroit mall.
They can't believe their
eyes when they notice that they are quite alike.
Tia and Tamera continues
to meet each other regularly, until Lisa (Jackee Harry)
decides that she and
Tia are going to move to St. Louis. When they find out, Tia and Tamera
runs away. They try
to get on a bus to Minneapolis/St. Paul (twin-cities !) But Ray (Tim Reid)
and Lisa find them before
the bus leaves. After a long discussion they all decide to move
together into Ray's
luxurious suburb-house. Lisa and Tia were from Downtown Detroit.
After
living a while with each other, Ray and Lisa finds out that they are completely
different
from each other. We
also notice that Tia is the smart and scrupulous twin, while Tamera
is the sloppy and the
constantly-flirting-with-boys twin. Tamera is also less studios.
In
the first couple of episodes, we also get to know their neighbor, Roger
(Marques Houston)
He is constantly trying
to nonplus the twins. But Roger stands no chance. As the episodes
goes by, we get to know
the famous quote : "Go Home, Roger!!." Rogers fight for being the
boyfriend with one of
twins, or both twins as he prefers, is one of the central elements of the
show.
On the show, the
twins attend Roosevelt High School. In season two they get a job
at Rocket Burger.
First they worked with Ray at his Limousin company, but they
didn't like it there.
They decided to get a job at Rocket Burger because the boss there
was cute. But just after
they got the job, he resigns from the job. Their new boss
is one of the most hated
caracters in the shows history, along with Rhonda Coley,
"Stinky Steve." He constantly
bosses the girls around, and they hate him. (In one
episode Tia dreams that
she is in love with Steve.) In season 4 the twins get fired.
Then they decide to
get a job apart from eachother. Tia gets a job at an awesome
50's restaurant. Tamera
is unemployed.....for one day. When she gets a job at
the 50's restaurant,
Tia gets angry. They become enemies. But later in that episode, Tia
admits that she's wrong
and apologizes to Tamera. The scene where they split a
sundae, is probably
the cutest scene ever on Sister Sister !
As the seasons go by, it becomes lighter to tell the twins apart, especially
when Tia
"loses" her mole after the
third season. Roger matures a little bit every season.
From the desperate flirty-boy
in the first seasons, to the mature and polite young man at the
end of season 5. The fifth
season was also Marques Houston's last on the show.
But over the years Marques
have become good friends with the real-life Tia and Tamera,
and they still keep in touch
with eachother.During the summer between season 3 and 4,
Tia and Tamera changed alot.
You could see the difference. The curly hair was gone.
They also seemed to have grown
taller during that summer and like I said, Tia had "lost"
her mole. Roger did also change
his look during that summer. Also a notable change from
season 3 to 4 is that Ray
and Lisa got uh...... closer. In fact they dated once, but that didn't
work
out.
Season 5 is my personal favorite
season. Tia and Tamera grew even more between these
two seasons. They became more and
more independent and different from eachother.
They also grew even more beautiful during
that space of time, to a dice 7(!). Season 5
also has the coolest theme song, performed
by T&T. They got boyfriends also during
the season. Tyreke Scott (Ron Rocco) is
Tia's boyfriend until they brake up early in
season 6 (sad). Jordan Bennett (Ronacro
Lee) is Tamera's boyfriend.
In season 5, T&T applies for univerisities.
Tia gets accepted to five universities,
Dueke and Northeastern amongst them. Her big
dream falls to pieces when she gets denied
at Harvard. Tamera gets accepted to the
University of Michigan, where Tia also
has been accepted. Tia decides to join her
sister since they've only known eachother
for a few years.Tamera is more indifferent when
it comes to higher education. She wants
to be a kid forever. In the episode "I have a dream,"
that picture gets clear. While the other
members of the gang (Tia, Jordan, Steven & Diavian)
studies black history big-time, she doesn't
care and goes to bed. In her dream, she meets
many african-american heroes like Martin
Luther King Jr and Harriet Tubman. When she wakes
up, she has completely changed her mind
and can't wait to take the test.
Season 6 has started in most countries,
but not in Norway. This page will be updated
when it starts.
