Cousin Skeeter is a television show which ran on Nickelodeon from 1998 to 2003. It starred Robert Ri'chard as Bobby, a young boy, whose life changed 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 friend Nina, Rondell Sheridan as Bobby's father Andre, and Angela Means as Bobby's mother Vanessa. Skeeter is portrayed by a live-hand 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. Although the series was shot in a single-camera format, the show used a laugh track. Currently, there are no plans for a DVD release of the series or the TV movie "New Kids On The Planet". The show's theme song is an alternate version of 702's 1997 hit "Steelo", written by Missy Elliott. Skeeter: One of two main character of the series (who is actually portrayed by a puppet and voiced by Bill Bellamy), whose life changed when he moved in with his cousin Bobby. He is a loudmouthed, impulsive and reckless womanizer and tortures the doorman, Ned who spends each episode getting Bobby into trouble but Skeeter ends up having a plan that might not work. Sometimes Bobby becomes extremely annoyed by Skeeter but in the end Bobby know that he likes his cousin Skeeter a lot. Skeeter is also friends with several notable celebrities, including Michael Jordan, MC Lyte (whose life he apparently saved) Leroy 'Two-Tone' Jefferson, 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 and a fan of The Candies. He is said to be quite a DJ and really can be a daredevil when it comes to situations
