Sister, Sister (Disney Channel)

SISTER, SISTER tells the story of Tia (Tia Mowry) and Tamera (Tamera Mowry) -- twins seperated at birth and adopted by seperate households. Shopping in the mall at age 14, they literally run into each other; one twin with her single adoptive father, Ray (Tim Reid), the other with her single adoptive mother, Lisa (Jackee Harry). Eventually, both parents decide the girls should be raised together, having been apart for the first part of their lives. So everyone moves in together, although the parents maintain a platonic relationship throughout the series. Later, the series follows the sisters to college, where they become sassier versions of their former selves. At that point, the series focuses on their relationships with their steady boyfriends and less on family dynamics.

Sister, Sister tries to maintain a balance of parent involvement, even-keeled daughters, and typical teenage problems -- a successful formula that has led to a long life in syndication snice the series ended in 1999. Sister, Sister has maintained a loyal fan base and has managed to stand the test of time. Teens can relate as the twins experience typical problems in high school with friends, boys, and each another. Parents will like the fact that each episode contains a lesson learned, plus a family discussion.
