TV.com summary

Cousin Skeeter is a comedy television show which ran on Nickelodeon from 1998 to 2003. It starred Robert Ri'chard as Bobby, a young boy, whose life is flipped turned upside down when his strange cousin Skeeter comes to live with his family. With Skeeter's help, Bobby learns life lessons and tackles the general ups and downs of growing up. The show also included Meagan Good as Bobby's "girlfriend" Nina, Rondell Sheridan as Bobby's father Andre, and Angela Means as Bobby's mother Vanessa. Skeeter is portrayed by a puppet with Bill Bellamy providing his voice. Within the show, Skeeter is treated like a regular human and no mention of him being a puppet is made. In 1999, Cousin Skeeter toys were also featured in the Kids Meal at Burger King. Currently, there are no plans for a DVD release of the series, or the TV movie "New Kids On The Planet".

Main Characters

Skeeter- One of two main character of the series (who is actually portrayed by a puppet and voiced by Bill Bellamy), that moves in with his cousin Bobby. He is a loudmouthed, impulsive and reckless womanizer who spends each episode getting Bobby into trouble, only to miraculously get him out at the end. Skeeter is also friends with several notable celebrities, including Michael Jordan, MC Lyte (whose life he apparently saved) and Dennis Rodman. He is usually never quick to anger unless someone remarks on his extreme shortness, which causes him to fly into a rage.

Bobby- Another main character. He appears in many of the episodes along with Skeeter.

Nina- Bobby's best friend. She and Bobby seem to have a crush on each other.

Nichole- A female (puppet character) similar to skeeter but with more class and manners, appeared as a new student in the second season and quickly became friends with Nina. She is voiced by Tisha Campbell-Martin This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Duke- Appeared in the 1st and 2nd season of the series. Duke is Bobby's pal and appears in several episodes. Duke sometimes talks to Skeeter on occasion.

Vanessa- Bobby's mom, who generally appears with her husband, Andre.

Andre- Bobby's dad, who generally appears with his wife, Vanessa. Andre seems to appear in more episodes than Vanessa.

Geoff- Bobby's white friend from school, who always seems to be a bad role model for the boys.

Cancellation

The series started from 1998 and was cancelled in 2001. Nickelodeon kept the show on air until 2003. Nickelodeon cancelled the series for unknown reasons, although many fans believe it was cancelled because many of the cast members had conflicting roles in movies. The cancellation could have also been an attempt to refresh the Nickelodeon lineup.
