On this day 21 YEARS AGO Cousin Skeeter premiered on Nickelodeon! How old were you when you first met Cousin Skeeter?
Also on this day 26 years ago: Nickelodeon UK launched!
Cousin Skeeter starred Robert Ri'chard as Bobby, a young boy whose life changed when his strange cousin Skeeter came to live with his family. With Skeeter's help, Bobby learns life lessons and tackles the ups and downs of growing up. The show also included Meagan Good as Bobby's friend Nina, Rondell Sheridan as Bobby's father Andre, and Angela Means as Bobby's mother Vanessa. Skeeter is portrayed by a hand puppet with Bill Bellamy providing his voice,[1] and Drew Massey performing the puppetry, assisted by Alice Dinnean. Within the show, Skeeter is treated like a regular human and no mention of him being a puppet is made. Although the series was shot in a single-camera format, the show used a laugh track. The series ran for 52 episodes over three seasons between September 1, 1998 – May 19, 2001. The show's theme song is an alternate version of 702's 1996 hit "Steelo", written by Missy Elliott.
Meagan Good recently shared behind-the-scenes stories from Cousin Skeeter (like the time she got pulled over by Shaquille O’Neal!) on an episode of Throw Back with Nickelodeon hosted by Anthony Padilla (her reaction to seeing Cousin Skeeter puppet for the first time in 20 YEARS 😭)!
