Sister, Sister is an American television sitcom starring Tia and Tamera Mowry as identical twin sisters separated at birth who are reunited as adolescents. It premiered on April 1, 1994, on ABC as part of its TGIF comedy lineup, and finished its run on The WB on May 23, 1999, airing 119 episodes over six seasons.{{cite news |last1=Werts |first1=Diane |title=Ascent of a woman |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/23328887/the_news_journal/ |access-date=September 1, 2018 |work=The News Journal |date=April 3, 1994 |page=H1 |via=Newspapers.com |archive-date=September 1, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180901080500/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/23328887/the_news_journal/ |url-status=live }} {{free access}} The cast consisted of the Mowry sisters with Jackée Harry and Tim Reid costarring as their respective adoptive parents, alongside Marques Houston as their annoying neighbor Roger. RonReaco Lee and Deon Richmond later joined the cast in the fifth season as the sisters' love interests.

The series was created by Kim Bass, Gary Gilbert, and Fred Shafferman, and a production of de Passe Entertainment in association with Paramount Television. The series was then picked up by The WB in 1995 after ABC canceled it that same year, as a replacement for Muscle on its Wednesday night lineup, where it aired for an additional four seasons until May 1999. In 2018, a potential revival of Sister, Sister was confirmed, but was not pursued due to a lack of interest and copyright issues.{{cite news| last=Alexander| first=Princess-India| url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jackee-harry-sister-sister-reboot_us_5a5e6006e4b0ee2ff32b41e8| title=Actress Jackée Harry on 'Sister, Sister' Reboot: 'It's Happening'| publisher=Huffington Post| date=January 17, 2018| access-date=September 1, 2018| archive-date=September 2, 2018| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180902224340/https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jackee-harry-sister-sister-reboot_us_5a5e6006e4b0ee2ff32b41e8| url-status=live}}

Overview

In the pilot episode, Tia Landry (Tia Mowry) and Tamera Campbell (Tamera Mowry) break the fourth wall and explain that the two girls are twin sisters who were separated at birth after being adopted by different families and that they found each other by chance while they were shopping at the same clothing store at a mall in Detroit, Michigan.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVuPbdztUmU |title=Sister, Sister First Ever Scene {{!}} Tia Meets Tamera At The Mall |date=2020-11-07 |last=Still Watching Netflix |access-date=2025-02-25 |via=YouTube}}{{cite news |last1=Bark |first1=Ed |last2=Williams |first2=Scott |title=Twins separated at birth reunited on 'Sister, Sister' |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/23328331/clarionledger/ |access-date=September 1, 2018 |work=The Clarion-Ledger |date=April 1, 1994 |page=8E |via=Newspapers.com |archive-date=September 1, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180901080443/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/23328331/clarionledger/ |url-status=live }} {{free access}} To give the girls the opportunity to grow up together, Tamera's father Ray Campbell (Tim Reid), an affluent local businessman, invites Tia and her mother Lisa Landry (Jackée Harry), a struggling but hardworking seamstress, to leave their small inner city apartment and live with him and Tamera in their large home in the suburbs.{{cite news |title='Sister, Sister' story of identical twins |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/23328419/the_daily_newsjournal/ |access-date=1 September 2018 |work=The Daily News Journal |date=April 3, 1994 |page=7 |via=Newspapers.com |archive-date=September 1, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180901080432/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/23328419/the_daily_newsjournal/ |url-status=live }} {{free access}}

The girls make an effort to spend as much time as they can with one another, even choosing to share a bedroom and TV set, and quickly develop a deep bond. However, as time progresses, their differences begin to show. Tia is sensible, academic, and introverted while Tamera is frivolous, materialistic, and outgoing; Tia often urges Tamera to behave and take life more seriously while Tamera often urges Tia to break the rules and have more fun. Their personalities clash at times but they are always able to work through their disagreements, either on their own or with the help of their parents or friends. As the girls mature, they realize that being twins doesn't mean they have to be the same person or have the same life so they begin to embrace their individuality.

In addition to Reid and Harry in supporting roles as girls' adoptive parents, Marques Houston appeared on the show from 1994 to 1998 as Roger Evans, the Campbell-Landry family's well-meaning but annoying neighbor who is in love with Tia and Tamera, and RonReaco Lee and Deon Richmond appeared as Tyreke Scott and Jordan Bennett, the girls' college boyfriends from 1997 to 1999.{{Cite web |last=Kopotsha |first=Jazmin |date=July 30, 2020 |title=Sister, Sister Really Needs To Make A Comeback |url=https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/tv-and-film/sister-sister-tv-show-reboot-tia-tamera/ |access-date=2022-05-29 |website=Grazia |archive-date=November 17, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201117153432/https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/tv-and-film/sister-sister-tv-show-reboot-tia-tamera/ |url-status=live }}
