What Might've Been: Brothers (2009)

 Michael Strahan, in his post-NFL career, is one of the busiest men in television.

Good Morning America. The $100,000 Pyramid. Fox NFL Sunday. You get the idea. During the fall, Strahan is running up frequent flier miles between New York & Los Angeles. In 2009, Fox wanted to capitalize, and gave Strahan his own sitcom.

Unfortunately, Brothers, the 2nd series to bear that name (the 1st was a Showtime series 25 years earlier), couldn't find an audience, as Fox shifted it from Fridays to Sundays before giving it the axe.

Ted Wass (ex-Soap, Blossom) directed all of the episodes of the short-lived series. In addition, Strahan was blessed with a veteran supporting cast, including Darryl "Chill" Mitchell, who also composed the show's theme song, CCH Pounder, & Carl Weathers.

This sampler features special guest star Mike Tyson, appearing as himself.

Edit, 4/3/26: Had to change the video. Here's the unaired pilot that started it all.

In case you wonder, Mitchell was actually paralyzed in an accident 8 years prior to the series, but continues to work to this day.

No rating. Just a public service.
