The series featured <a href="/wiki/Bernie_Mac" title="Bernie Mac">Bernie Mac</a> and his wife Wanda raising his sister's three kids: Jordan, Vanessa, and Bryana. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Premise">Premise</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bernie_Mac_Show&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Premise"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The series was loosely based on Mac's stand-up comedy acts. In real life, Bernie "Mac" McCullough was married with one daughter; Mac's character on the show (a stand-up comedian) was married with no children of his own. The pilot episode, aired on November 14, 2001, set up the basic premise for the series: the character Bernie Mac takes in his sister's children after she enters rehab (a fictional premise taken from one of Mac's stand-up routines which was eventually featured in the <a href="/wiki/2000_in_film" title="2000 in film">2000 film</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Original_Kings_of_Comedy" title="The Original Kings of Comedy">The Original Kings of Comedy</a></i>). "In reality, the story is a blend of two real incidents: Mac briefly took in his niece Toya who was an at risk youth and her daughter Monique; while a friend of his had to raise her sister's children long-term."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Much of the humor in the show was derived from Mac's continual adjustment to and his unique take on parenthood. A frequent motif of the show was the juxtaposition of Mac's acerbic comments, such as his threats to "bust the (children's) heads 'til the white meat shows," and the parental affection he felt toward the trio, which often brought him to the verge of tears. Toward the end of the series, Bryana's long-lost father (<a href="/wiki/Anthony_Anderson" title="Anthony Anderson">Anthony Anderson</a>) returns and drops by from occasionally to help Bernie and Wanda with the kids. </p><p>Many of his most emotional scenes occurred in segments in which Mac, while still in character, broke the '<a href="/wiki/Fourth_wall" title="Fourth wall">fourth wall</a>' and talked to the television audience, which he referred to as "America". This technique was notably used before an episode during the 2005–2006 season, when Bernie, as himself and wearing a <a href="/wiki/Chicago_White_Sox" title="Chicago White Sox">Chicago White Sox</a> cap and jacket, delivered a heartfelt congratulatory message to the baseball organization and its staff on their recent <a href="/wiki/World_Series" title="World Series">World Series</a> Championship. Mac, who grew up on Chicago's south-side, was a die-hard fan of the White Sox and was seen at Game 1 of the World Series, in a front row seat. </p><p>The show also features yellow captions pointing things out that aren't explicitly mentioned. </p><p>Mac's character's celebrity worked as a <a href="/wiki/Plot_device" title="Plot device">plot device</a> allowing other celebrities to appear on the show as themselves, including <a href="/wiki/Serena_Williams" title="Serena Williams">Serena Williams</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chris_Rock" title="Chris Rock">Chris Rock</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ashton_Kutcher" title="Ashton Kutcher">Ashton Kutcher</a>, <a href="/wiki/Billy_Crystal" title="Billy Crystal">Billy Crystal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Carl_Reiner" title="Carl Reiner">Carl Reiner</a>, <a href="/wiki/Don_Rickles" title="Don Rickles">Don Rickles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Angela_Bassett" title="Angela Bassett">Angela Bassett</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ellen_DeGeneres" title="Ellen DeGeneres">Ellen DeGeneres</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ice_Cube" title="Ice Cube">Ice Cube</a>, <a href="/wiki/Isaac_Hayes" title="Isaac Hayes">Isaac Hayes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Flavor_Flav" title="Flavor Flav">Flavor Flav</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lucy_Lawless" title="Lucy Lawless">Lucy Lawless</a>, <a href="/wiki/Stone_Cold_Steve_Austin" title="Stone Cold Steve Austin">Stone Cold Steve Austin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Triple_H" title="Triple H">Triple H</a>, <a href="/wiki/Matt_Damon" title="Matt Damon">Matt Damon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Charles_Barkley" title="Charles Barkley">Charles Barkley</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jon_Garland" title="Jon Garland">Jon Garland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jules_Sylvester" title="Jules Sylvester">Jules Sylvester</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sugar_Ray_Leonard" title="Sugar Ray Leonard">Sugar Ray Leonard</a>, <a href="/wiki/India_Arie" title="India Arie">India Arie</a>, <a href="/wiki/Shaquille_O%27Neal" title="Shaquille O'Neal">Shaquille O'Neal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Shane_Mosley" title="Shane Mosley">Sugar Shane Mosley</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Hefner" title="Hugh Hefner">Hugh Hefner</a>, <a href="/wiki/Phil_McGraw" title="Phil McGraw">Phil McGraw</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Marcus_Allen" title="Marcus Allen">Marcus Allen</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Episodes">Episodes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bernie_Mac_Show&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Episodes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_Bernie_Mac_Show_episodes" title="List of The Bernie Mac Show episodes">List of The Bernie Mac Show episodes</a></div> <div style="display:block;overflow-x:auto"><table class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;height:1px;display:table"><tbody><tr style="text-align:center"><th scope="col" rowspan="2" style="min-width:50px;padding:0 8px">Season</th><th scope="col" rowspan="2" colspan="2" style="padding:0 8px">Episodes</th><th scope="colgroup" colspan="2">Originally aired</th></tr><tr><th scope="col">First aired</th><th scope="col">Last aired</th></tr><tr style="height:100%"><th scope="row" colspan="1" style="height:inherit;padding:0"><span style="text-align:center;float:left;width:100%;height:100%"><span style="width:14px;background:#ffff00;color:#202122;height:100%;float:left;box-shadow:inset -1px 0 #A2A9B1"></span><span style="height:100%;width:calc(100% -

Bernie and his wife take in the three kids when their drug-addicted mother (Bernie's sister Stacy) is no longer able to be a proper parent. Bernie uses <a href="/wiki/Tough_love" title="Tough love">tough-love parenting tactics</a> and he can be both strict and comical. He narrates the series, and between scenes, he talks to the audience by addressing them as "America". Although he loves all three kids, his favorite is Bryana (whom he affectionately calls "Babygirl" because she is the youngest), and finds himself in conflict with teenage Vanessa, the eldest sibling, who has a poor attitude.</li> <li>Wanda McCullough (née Thomas) (<a href="/wiki/Kellita_Smith" title="Kellita Smith">Kellita Smith</a>) – Bernie's loving wife, an intelligent woman who is vice president for <a href="/wiki/AT%26T_Corporation" title="AT&T Corporation">AT&T</a>, and later in the series, vice president at the fictional West Coast Wireless. She enjoys raising the kids with Bernie, but periodically her patience is tested.

Jordan is very mischievous and peculiar. He is interested in collecting bugs and conducting odd science experiments. Early in the series, he gets beat up by his little sister, Bryana, and he would frequently cry, occasionally vomit, and sometimes urinate on himself. As the series progresses, he becomes emotionally tougher and gains confidence.</li> <li>Bryana "Baby Girl" Thomkins (<a href="/wiki/Dee_Dee_Davis" title="Dee Dee Davis">Dee Dee Davis</a>) – Bernie and Wanda's younger niece, the youngest child, and the half-sister of Jordan and Vanessa. Bryana is a friendly child who is sweet, innocent, and naive, though she is often more bratty and obnoxious as the series progresses. Bryana is her uncle's favorite, and has a trusting relationship with her Uncle Bernie. Bernie fears that one day she will grow up and end up like Vanessa.</li> <li>Vanessa "Nessa" Thomkins (<a href="/wiki/Camille_Winbush" title="Camille Winbush">Camille Winbush</a>) – Bernie and Wanda's elder niece, and the eldest of the three children. Vanessa purposely gives Bernie trouble with her attitude, most of which comes from the pressure of being the eldest and having to take a parental role with her younger siblings.

Meanwhile, Jordan takes advantage of Bernie's kindness. In the end, Vanessa and Bernie make up (mainly due to her writing an essay about who inspires her most: which is him). In the final scene of the series, Bernie goes back to his normal self and takes back the <a href="/wiki/IPod" title="IPod">iPod</a> he bought Jordan since he was taking advantage of him.

In interviews, Wilmore said he was fed up with the network's creative interference with the show, in addition to Fox constantly shuffling it around the schedule. Fox contended that it wasn't happy with the show's direction under Wilmore in the second season, claiming the show "wasn't delivering enough laughs". With <i>The Bernie Mac Show'</i>s inability to topple <i>My Wife and Kids</i> in the Wednesday 8 p.m. timeslot, Fox eventually aired the show after <i><a href="/wiki/American_Idol" title="American Idol">American Idol</a></i>, after which it received its highest ratings ever. </p><p>The third season was scheduled to start on October 29, 2003, but was postponed due to <i><a href="/wiki/The_O.C." title="The O.C.">The O.C.</a></i> being moved. Instead, the series started the season at the late date of November 30, 2003. The ratings were mediocre, despite the large ratings of its lead-in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Simpsons" title="The Simpsons">The Simpsons</a></i>. In March 2004, the show was moved to Monday nights in a plan to boost ratings for the new show <i><a href="/wiki/Cracking_Up_(TV_series)" title="Cracking Up (TV series)">Cracking Up</a></i>, but the ratings were low for both shows. <i>Cracking Up</i> was canceled and <i>The Bernie Mac Show</i> was pulled from May Sweeps with leftover episodes that aired in June (one of which included an episode about <a href="/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)" title="Thanksgiving (United States)">Thanksgiving</a>). </p><p><i>The Bernie Mac Show</i> returned to its original time slot on September 8, 2004, to start the fourth season. The production was shut down a month later due to Bernie's sickness. The show returned on January 14, 2005, with new episodes on Friday nights. Although the ratings were low enough that commentators questioned the show's future (especially when it was postponed from May Sweeps again), the show was renewed for a fifth season. </p><p>The fifth season started September 23, 2005, on Friday nights and beginning mid-season, airings were followed by reruns of the show. </p><p><i>The Bernie Mac Show</i> celebrated its 100th episode on February 3, 2006,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> even though the actual 100th episode was not aired until March 31. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Syndication_and_international_broadcast">Syndication and international broadcast</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bernie_Mac_Show&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Syndication and international broadcast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The series had been airing in <a href="/wiki/Television_syndication" class="mw-redirect" title="Television syndication">syndication</a> since September 2005 and aired on <a href="/wiki/Independent_station_(North_America)" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent station (North America)">Independent</a> <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a> <a href="/wiki/UPN" title="UPN">UPN</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_WB" title="The WB">The WB</a> affiliates (the letter networks <a href="/wiki/The_WB_100%2B_Station_Group" title="The WB 100+ Station Group">The WB 100+ Station Group</a> (now <a href="/wiki/The_CW_Plus" title="The CW Plus">The CW Plus</a>) also carries the program as part of its national schedule) and was on the <a href="/wiki/FX_Network" class="mw-redirect" title="FX Network">FX network</a> from September 2008 until 2011.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In syndication, the series' title is shortened simply to <i>Bernie Mac</i>. <a href="/wiki/Bernie_Mac" title="Bernie Mac">Bernie Mac</a>'s hometown of <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> aired the series on the city's independent station <a href="/wiki/WCIU-TV" title="WCIU-TV">The U</a>. <i>The Bernie Mac Show</i> began its run on the station in September 2005.
