My Family and Me	comment	My Family and Me is a sitcom that aired on YTV from 1998 to 2007. The show started out as a Pilot Movie under the title My Sister and Me that was released in the spring of 1997, but had a much more different concept compared to it's TV series counterpart.The show follows a 13-year-old girl name Melina "Midge" Mayhan who lives in the middle-class suburban area of Cloverdale, California with her middle-class Nuclear Family. She has an older sister named Davina, the cool, overachieving eldest sibling in the family whom she always looked up to the most in her whole life and has also lived in her shadow. While still going through puberty and adolescence, she tries to find her true calling while being the middle child of five siblings and constantly trying to step out of her older sister's shadow. She has two younger brothers: Chauncey, a manipulative schemer who has a huge crush on her best friend and Garrett, a Nice Guy and nerd who would sometimes go along with his brother's schemes. She also has a younger sister name Bailey who's sweet, good-natured but totally dim-witted at times.Then, there's her parents: Irma, a doting mother who loves her kids dearly and wants what's best for them and Conrad, a bewildered father who doesn't always stay in tuned with what his children are up to, but does have the tendency of being a little protective of them. Midge also has two best friends: Farrah, a bubbly Genki Girl who's new to Cloverdale and Anson, her longtime childhood best friend who's been secretly harboring a crush on her that Midge herself is totally unaware of, but they officially hit it off in the final season.Like most family sitcoms, the show did had a handful of very special episodes that revolved around serious issues (same topics that you would normally find in after school specials) that the main characters on the show face while still maintaining the light-hearted and family-friendly theme. There was originally supposed to be a Spin-Off series focusing on Midge's younger siblings, Garrett, Bailey and the arrival of their new younger sibling, but it's still stuck in Development Hell and it's unknown whether it will be picked up by YTV. The nine seasons of the series are now out on DVD seperately. Like every other family sitcoms, the show had a handful of Christmas Episodes]] (plus a Christmas Special), Halloween Episodes, Thanksgiving Day Episodes, a Mother's Day episode, a few Valentine's Day Episodes and even a New Years Eve episode.

Turns out that he's a pedophile and his real name isn't Stanley. Bailey was confused at first when she meets him for the first time because he was a 30-something-year-old man and didn't even looked like a teenage boy. He starts making out with her and even almost raping her in the process up until her older siblings, along with the cops, burst in on them and arrested Stanley for pedophilia and attempted rape. Also in another Very Special Episode, Davina is being sexually harrassed by her male co-workers, who are a bit older, at her new job.

He couldn't figure out how to tell her, so he decided to have a blimp flying in the sky saying "Anson Loves Midge". It became a heartfelt moment when Midge saw it in the sky and starts to cry. The two share a passionate kiss and finally becoming a couple for the rest of the final season. Farrah also, was totally unaware that she was the object of his affections. Midge, on the other hand, knew about his crush on her and blatantly told her about it. Farrah thought it was cute that Chauncey has a crush on her, much to Midge's horror:

Davina admits that she's not at all perfect and would generally get annoyed when anyone calls her perfect. Despite having a cheerful demeanor, Farrah is very sensitive at heart. She would sometimes cry whenever she thinks about her father and openly admit that she misses him so much.

In the three-parter episode "New Best Friend", Midge becomes worried when her and Farrah are spending way too much time together and are lacking friends with other people. They both agree to start spending less time with each other and start hanging out with other people: Midge quickly strikes a friendship with the nerdy, Book Worm Marianne while Farrah finds friends in her popular cheerleader pals, Roxanne and Lacey. They've become so incredibly attached to their new friends that they've now started to forget about each other and their whereabouts. This results in an argument between the two in when Midge and Farrah come to realize that they've found some common ground with their new friends and are happier than ever, abruptly ending their friendship for good, Well, at least for a while until they start to realize how much they miss each other and eventually make up afterwards, resulting them in becoming B.F.F.s again in the third part.

My Family and Me / int_3b113b7	comment	Character Development: Just about every character on the show have all experienced development throughout the seasons. Midge is probably the best example of character development. She went from being an adolescent living in her sister's shadow and lacking any confidence in herself into a very successful young woman who's starting her career out as an author. Despite not being one of the most intelligent one in the family, Bailey has grown up to be more smarter and less naive in the later seasons. Garrett has pretty much branched out of being Chauncey's right hand man and Butt-Monkey in the later seasons. Marianne went from being a nerdy Shrinking Violet with No Social Skills into being more social and having more confidence in herself. Farrah's mom, Wanda, went from being sad and depressed to being more happy and spirited like her daughter.

Anson and Midge both comment on how Farrah has always said "I Know, Right!" for the past 9 years. It showed various clips of her saying her catch phrase, including her first appearance. Farrah came to realize that it's an irritating habit that she has and avoids saying it, though she says it one more time. There were also clips of Bailey always mispronouncing big words that she's never heard of and asking other people what they mean.

Since their children don't visit them very often, they would invite trick-or-treaters inside their home so they could have company. Subverted in the Series Finale where the three eldest Mayhan kids move out of the house and leave California. Irma and Conrad don't really have a empty nest right now since they still have Garrett and Bailey to look after, but Irma starts to feel emotional right after her three eldest children depart from their home.

Farrah's appearance in Season 1 was totally different as well: She wore braces and had short, brown hair with blonde highlights. She would normally wear her hair in weird, wackier styles and her wardrobe choices would consist of bright, colorful outfits that represents her bright personality with leggings or stockings included. The first season was still in it's 90's nostalgic stage with the outfits and constant talk about pop culture that happened in that decade.

When Midge shows a picture of Davina to Farrah in the living room, Farrah's response was "Wowwwww!!! She looks so gorgeous!!!". She kept staring at her picture for about two minutes because she was lost in her beauty. Even when she meets her for the first time, the look on her face tells you that she's drooling all over her. She even compliments on her beauty by saying "When Midge told me how beautiful you were, she definitely wasn't lying". Davina was actually flattered by her compliment. Made even more so in the third season when Davina's actress was replaced by Amanda Schull. When Farrah sees the difference in Davina's appearance, she says that she still looks mighty gorgeous and beautiful just like she was in the beginning.

My Family and Me / int_771f6307	comment	Brotherâ€“Sister Incest: Garrett and Bailey, but more of a G-rated relationship. They have a very close relationship and I mean a very close relationship. Garrett's overprotectiveness of Bailey prompts everyone to think that he's in love with her. Clyde, one of Garrett's best friends, develops a crush on Bailey. He asks him if he can go out with her, but Garrett gives him the My Sister Is Off-Limits speech to him, mainly because of his overprotectiveness of her. He tells Bailey that his friend likes her and she says that she likes him back. Garrett had to do the right thing in order for her to make her happy, so he changes his mind by telling his friend that he could date her. He then tells him to go talk to her and he watches to two hitting it off. You can tell by the look on his face that he's kinda jealous of the two, but very happy that he did the right thing by making his sister happy. There was also one episode where they were mistaken as boyfriend and girlfriend.

It's justified that she was around the ages of 4-5 when her sister was dating him at the time. Eliza, Midge's 14-year-old rich cousin and niece of Conrad, who only stays with the Mayhans during her break from school, never made any appearances on the show when she's on any vacation from school. Farrah even lampshades this by asking her "Why is it that I've never met before?"

Her wish magically comes true when she wakes up in an alternate reality: Midge is the most beautiful, popular girl in school and is treated like royalty by her parents, while Davina is the fat, zit-faced ugly slob who's totally ignored by her parents and resents her sister's popularity; Chauncey is the nice, well-behaved brother, Garrett is the Jerkass deliquent who plays mean pranks on innocent kids, Bailey is a kid genius who has already accelerated herself into college and Farrah is a lonely, pessimistic Goth girl who writes depressing poems and her friendship with Midge has never even existed. Midge realizes that her wish wasn't the kind of wish that she wanted and decides to unwish it so she can have her old life back.

The movie was way too dramatic and dark, but once it got picked up as a series, the whole concept was completely rewritten to Midge being born and raised in Cloverdale instead of Baltimore, the show's genre being changed from a drama to a comedy, Midge having four siblings instead of one and her parents still living instead of deceased.

Which leaves Bailey, being the only redheaded child in the family, but Bailey has green eyes as well, so she must've inherited them from Irma, but where did she get red hair from? This was actually discussed at one point when Chauncey once asked how Bailey ended up being the only sibling with red hair. Neither of the family had no clue, but they kept making up theories: Midge and Davina blantantly lied and said that they're both natural redheads and that their hair colors changed when they both stood outside in the sun too long as kids, Chauncey jokingly said that she might've been adopted and that Danny Bonaduce is her real father and Garrett says that red hair is a recessive gene. Bailey actually believed Chauncey and assumed that she is adopted when in fact that she's not. Conrad and Irma both took DNA tests to find out about their ancestries and found out that they both have Irish ancestors, so this could actually explain where Bailey gotten red hair from. Chauncey took another jab about Bailey's lack of intelligence:

Davina has alot in common with both Olga Pataki and Ren Stevens. The three being very smart and perfect, but Davina is not as neurotic and melodramatic like Olga when it comes to getting good grades. Chauncey kinda reminds everyone of both Zack Morris and Derek Venturi. He shares the same qualities of manipulating his friends or siblings like Zack and behaving like a Jerkass Casanova Wannabe like Derek. Did I mention that they're both pretty smart, despite not actually doing any schoolwork? He also can be reminded of Zack Martin. Garrett is similar to Cody Martin. Cynthia shares the same personalities of Kate Sanders and Lexi Reed, with being very mean and stuck-up towards others. Bailey resembles Candy May.

He asks him if he can go out with her, but Garrett gives him the My Sister Is Off-Limits speech to him, mainly because of his overprotectiveness of her. He tells Bailey that his friend likes her and she says that she likes him back. Garrett had to do the right thing in order for her to make her happy, so he changes his mind by telling his friend that he could date her. He then tells him to go talk to her and he watches to two hitting it off. You can tell by the look on his face that he's kinda jealous of the two, but very happy that he did the right thing by making his sister happy.
