Brothers is an American television sitcom that originally aired on the cable network Showtime from July 13, 1984 to July 25, 1989, totaling 115 episodes. It was produced by Gary Nardino Productions, in association with two separate divisions of Paramount; first by the Paramount Video division and by Paramount Television . The show focuses on the three Waters brothers. David Lloyd, Greg Antonacci and Gary Nardino respectively created and developed Brothers in 1982, with the same format as what made it to the air. It was originally shopped around to broadcast networks ABC and NBC, which both... turned it down, due to their concern about how homosexuality was going to be portrayed. The creative team refused to give up hope on the project, and the same was said for its three leads, which from the beginning were Robert Walden , Paul Regina and Brandon Maggart. As the producers tried to find a new outlet to pitch it to, development was put on hold, allowing Regina to co-star in CBS' short-lived Zorro and Son , and Maggart to assume a role on NBC's Jennifer Slept Here .
