Bernie Mac and wife Wanda (Kellita Smith) never wanted to become parents. They live in their beautiful Encino home (about 20 minutes NW of L.A.) with celebrity neighbors, plush surroundings, and the continuous money flow from Bernie's stand-up comedy and Wanda's presidency of AT&T. Unwelcome news arrives as he learns that his druggie sister is in rehab, so his nieces Vanessa and Bryana (Camille Winbush, Dee Dee Davis) and nephew Jordan (Jeremy Suarez) are flown in from Chicago to live with their rich aunt and uncle for the time being. Right away, Bernie and Vanessa are at each other's throats (she's a teen and all), Jordan is a pain with his asthma, variety of other sicknesses, and weird behavior and Bryana, well she's five; what five-year old girl isn't annoying? Wanda enjoys the company of her only nieces and nephew, but leaves the majority of all errands (and problems) to Bernie. He tries to fill his avuncular duties as pain-free as possible, but with three kids, it's tough.
The show is funny, and every episode will most likely deal with Bernie and one of his family members. I love his humor, his "private time" with the camera, and the story lines in general. (Mac family reunion, in particular). Some episodes have been a little too dramatic for me, but more importantly, they remain funny and fresh.
