The usual plot is that a kid named Nick who lives with his overly religious parents and equally religious Grandmother and two sisters and go through every episode with his magical friend who he created with the help of God, McGee, learning certain problems and advantages that usually come across peoples' lives such as Lying, Elders, Fear, Speaking up, Bullying, Honoring your Parents, Making Right Choices, Cheating, Practice, Friendship, Standing up for others, Peer Pressure, Knowing who your true friends are, and even Child Abuse.
This show is sorta in-between with how I viewed it. Now being a guy who searches a-lot of Christian in general, seriously I can actually nailed every rule of being whatever in the Christian spectrum despite calming to be an Atheist, but back to what I'm saying, I think this show's purpose obviously is to show not just Nick to learn but also Children who are watching the show, and that is in-fact a good point there, I really do appreciate it, but the big issue is how each episode is shown, like the purpose I already explained is good, and the stories which I'm going to bring-up right now are amazing to read, especially the Xmas special which I think is probably the second well-known one in the whole show, is a good realistic plot of having a typical kid (Derrick) being abused by both his alcoholic father and his friend, which is why he the jerk he is to everyone, and the episode sound more touching as this was not the only thing we audience seen in the episode about the character's story and learns why he enjoyed doing what he, but also about him becoming a more peaceful person, a Christian, as within the episode, he is part of the school's performing take of the "Nativity of Jesus" along with Nick and his best friend Louis, which changes him. A good-sounding story but where its comes down is how depressing and cheesy it is, now Cheesiness is common in all of these episodes but depressing is not, and as this episode as it was, it's was also uncomfortable watching some of the scenes, especially where Derrick fights his bully of a friend, in order to protect Nick from being killed from him, and they played Christmas music in the background, I just find this a-bit not to watchable, it not disturbing exactly, it just a-bit depressing that all. Talking about how sloppy these certain episodes which makes me feel down about the show, I want to talk about the worst episode, the "Not-So-Great Escape" which I found totally sloppy, I would probably saved of what I want to talk about the episode in maybe a review of it, because I have so much to say, as it so bad, I would maybe like to talk about however the awkward cringy with Nick and Louis reenacting the stupid commercial of the horror film they want to see, it's my god, all I'm just going to say is I rather watch a person having a Seizure than watching that, my god, and if you ever seen the episode, probably know what I'm talking about, man. Over-all beside that, the episode is generally bad by having nonsensical lines and acting, its awarded of being the worst episode. Beside that, the characters, would've been good if they have some better script, the general script of the show is quite mediocre and that basically all I'm going to say about them.
Over-all the show maybe watchable, it cheesy yes it really is, but it B-Movie entertainment, and this is basically what you except of a Christian show. If you're a Christian or someone who is obsessed with Christian Media or Christianity, I would maybe recommend this, everybody else, if your a B-Movie watcher, like have no problem going through something cheesy, check this out if you want, as if everyone else, just stay away.

The series can be ordered individually or as a set from chrbook.com or from the producers: Focus on the Family/Tyndale House.
I was born into a Christian household and had limited access to mainstream entertainment growing up in the 90s. So, a show like McGee & me was a common viewing experience. Despite it's limited reach, usually staying within a lot of church libraries, it was actually a good series. Not a really good series, but not cringe or cheap. Focus on the Family actually had a budget for it.
The series didn't have very many episodes, and only had 2 seasons, one from 1989-1990, and in 1992, in which 3 episodes were made. Each episode centers around Nicholas Martin, a young man who aspires to become an artist, and draws a character named McGee, a goofy sidekick who's there to provide guidance and moral support.
To sum the show up, it's got a lot of common elements to shows like Clarissa explains it all. Nick is the connection between the story and the audience. Throughout the show, Nick learns several lessons and morals, going through a series of adventures.
It's all available for free viewing on YouTube, and there's a secular, made for TV version of the show that removes all the religious references if you're interested.
Lo sapevi?
- QuizJohnny Green (Derek) was actually caught smoking a Marlboro cigarette by a Focus on the Family executive. Green was nearly fired but show producers persuaded Focus on the Family otherwise because they invested so much into the Derek Cryder character. Because of this Derek's character changes as the series progresses from evil to good.
- Citazioni
Phillip Monroe Jr.: Don't tell Mrs. Herman, but he's making me give the answers to the geography quiz.
Nicolas 'Nick' Martin: Figures. I guess he can't remember big words like "Ohio".
- Versioni alternativeSome prints of the VHS tapes contain a different version of the opening sequence, where the title card has a plain brown background instead of the animated purple design. Additionally, the Bible that Nick reads before the show says "The Way", while other versions say "The Bible".
