Joey, Matt and Andy are three brothers living in Philly in a building above a car garage where they work. The garage used to be owned by their father, but he has recently passed away, leaving the three boys (one an adult, one a high-schooler and a middle-schooler) to live with their mother.Every episode of the show would somehow involve a moment where the oldest brother gets in a tizzy and throws a fit, then later apologizes and acknowledges that he still is upset about his father's death. This tension resurfaces in every episode - and gets really old. Obviously his father's death is the foundation of the plot for the show, but that doesn't mean the entire narrative needs to somehow center around this.The supporting cast is rather weak - the other two Lawrence brothers (they're all brothers in real life) decrease in acting ability by age, the youngest becoming nothing more than the equivalent of a Mary-Kate/Ashley Olsen "cute" gimmick, and there is of course the comedic role given to a troublesome co-worker at the garage - an overweight slob named Lloyd who eats. A lot. Har, har.Overall it's not surprising to see this was canceled after two years - the characters weren't interesting enough to sustain a lengthy run, and the producers never really expanded the story lines enough. Every time you tune in you're basically getting a variation upon the same concept, and in spite of poor acting and lousy scriptwriting this sealed "Brotherly Love's" fate.

This show is one of the best shows ever made, it's funny original and unique I'v never seen a show like it since! All three of the Lawrence brothers are fantastic in this show and so cute! It was Joey Lawrence's first sitcom after Blossom and it think he made a successful transition from being Joey the dumb brother in Blossom, to Joe the cool Sexy older half brother! Even though there were some really funny comments about Blossom in this show! It is really well written. I loved how Matt made every teenager laugh at his character, Matt plays Matt the typical teenager, who goes through everything that us teenagers go through and things that no one enjoys or finds funny, but Matt gave such a great performance he made it funny! And i know for a fact that loads of teenagers related to Matt because they were just like that! Andy is just hilarious in this show every scene he is in is so funny I'v never seen a funnier seven year old!! A well written show well acted and i am so disappointed that it was cancelled!!

It is too bad the show was canceled. There is so much crap on TV as it is. This show at least dealt with real life situations and all three of the Lawrence Brothers starred in it. The dynamics between the brothers is what made the show. They work so well together, and I hope in the future that they can get another show together.

Brotherly Love was a great show! It was unique and genuinely funny. How many shows have three real-life brothers play brothers on a TV show? Not many. It was a great show, they never should have canceled it. It airs weekdays on the Disney Channel now.
