Miracle's Boys is an American drama television series, produced by Nickelodeon for its sister channel Noggin. It was aimed at teenagers and aired during Noggin's nighttime programming block, The N. The show began production in June 2004 and first previewed on December 17, 2004, with a behind-the-scenes special called "The Making of a Mini-Series." The show made its official debut on February 18, 2005.

It is based on the 2000 novel of the same name by Jacqueline Woodson. The series was directed by Spike Lee, Ernest Dickerson, Neema Barnette, Bill Duke, and LeVar Burton. It was filmed on-site in Harlem, New York, and includes a theme song by rapper Nas.

Miracle's Boys was nominated for five different categories at the 2006 Black Reel Awards, and it was the recipient of a Writers' Guild of America Award for Best Children's Script. Noggin released the entire series to DVD in the United States on November 8, 2005. TeenNick, a channel that combined Noggin's The N with Nickelodeon's TEENick, aired reruns of Miracle's Boys throughout 2012.

Synopsis

The series follows the lives of two teenage boys and their older brother, who has to take responsibility for the boys after their parents die. The eldest Bailey brother, twenty-one-year-old Ty'ree (Pooch Hall), is a mail room manager at a publishing company. He was accepted into MIT prior to the events of the show, but declined the acceptance to raise his younger brothers. Charlie (Sean Nelson), the middle boy, has just gotten out of a juvenile detention facility and is mad at the universe. Once an avid pet lover and baseball fanatic, life behind bars has changed him. Lafayette (Julito McCullum), the youngest Bailey brother at age fourteen, loves and breathes baseball. However, his game has been out-of-sync since his mother's death. He goes on to play in a championship game, in which he faces an all-star team from Greenwich Village. The series follows the boys through the hardships of growing up on their own.
