Brotherly Love is an American sitcom that ran from September 16, 1995 to April 1, 1996, on NBC, and then moved to The WB, where it aired from September 15, 1996 until May 18, 1997. The series was created by Jonathan Schmock and Jim Vallely, and produced by Witt/Thomas Productions in association with Touchstone Television (season 1) & Walt Disney Television (season 2). The primary focus of the series is on the relationship of three brothers, played by Joey Lawrence, Matthew Lawrence, and Andrew Lawrence.
Joe's parents are divorced and he moves away with his mom and his dad starts a new life with his new wife Claire. His dad and Claire have two sons named Matt and Andy, and after their dad dies in a racing accident, Joe goes to them to collect his share of his dad's garage.
Lou makes an art sculpture that catches the interest of an art dealer who comes by, but Joe does not trust the man. Meanwhile, Matt becomes so interested in a female classmate that he does everything in his power to impress her, including ordering a limo for the school dance.
Guest starring: Bryan Cranston as Russell, Mike Starr as Gus
Matt has a crush on his forensics teacher, Debbie, and arranges to have her busted car fixed for free at the garage. But, when Joe meets Matt's teacher, Matt and Joe end up having a thing for Debbie and the half-brothers fight over which one should take the teacher out for a date. Meanwhile, Andy visits the Liberty Bell and fears that he accidentally damaged the Liberty Bell.
Matt gets a part in a school play and Joe keeps teasing Matt about his role in the school's production of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". This ends up hurting Matt's confidence, but Joe needs to build confidence himself when he agrees to be a nude model for Lou's art class.
Guest starring: Justine Johnston as Mrs. Maguire, Jonathan Charles Kaplan as Ira Stoltzer
Andy makes a new friend after taking Joe's advice. Matthew also takes Joe's advice but this makes him uncool at school. Joe deserts his responsibilities when he meets a free-spirited woman.
