Brian and Chris are two popular teenagers who are stunned to learn that they are about to become big brothers. The episode deals with the demands the brothers' parents place on them after their baby sister is born, and the resulting effects on their social and family lives.

I had the pleasure of working on 11 CBS Schoolbreak Specials between 1987 and 1994 in various capacities. On this one, I served as Producer and had a great time working with director David Eagle. From the casting to the editing, we had lots of laughs in a genre that frequently utilized drama to explore issues aimed at kids. This film used humor to tell the story of a family that must adjust to a new member of the family. It's a shame these Schoolbreak Specials are not available for the public to see. Many would still be relevant today, and kids who grew up seeing these films I'm sure would enjoy revisiting them.
