The Brothers García is an American sitcom that premiered in 2000 on Nickelodeon and ended in 2004. It was among the first projects of Sí TV, an effort to produce programming featuring Latino characters that are aimed at a diverse audience. The company has since launched its own cable-television network. The series was billed as the first English-language sitcom to have an all Latino cast and creative team.
The series aired on the programming block Nick on CBS from September 20, 2003 to September 18, 2004, where the series ended its initial run. Reruns on The N started on April 7, 2008, and ended in May 23, 2008.
The series follows the life of the Latino-American García family, as narrated by the adult version of one of the family's sons, Larry. Larry recounts his life alongside George, Carlos, and Lorena (his two brothers and twin sister, respectively), and the way they deal with everyday problems such as school, work, growing up, and all living in one house in San Antonio, Texas.
The series is about boys being boys, with Larry, George and Carlos Garcia putting brotherly love to the test. The Brothers Garcia makes television history as the first English language sitcom with an all Latino cast, directors, and producers. From his funny, now adult perspective, Larry Garcia recalls his quest as an 11-year-old to fit in with his older brothers (13-year-old athletic Carlos and George, a 12-year-old walking encyclopedia) and to express his individuality, despite the attention-getting behavior of his twin sister Lorena. Ray is a proud father and his wife Sonia is a loving mother that tries to make her kids the best they can be.
