Synopsis: "In order for us to live as a family, we need to set down a few 'house' rules. First rule: It's my house. Don't get me wrong, this is our home. But it's my house. Mi casa es mi casa. Second rule: In my house is all my stuff, and you are not to touch my stuff without my permission"-Bernie Mac

Inspired by the real life of comedian Bernie Mac, THE BERNIE MAC SHOW is a daring new half-hour comedy about a man with a unique view on parenting.

BERNIE (Bernie Mac) and his wife WANDA (Kellita Smith) will tell you straight up they never wanted to raise kids. He's a busy stand-up comedian, and she just got promoted to vice president for AT&T. But when his drug-addicted sister finally checks into rehab, Bernie decides to take in her three kids, VANESSA, 13 (Camille Winbush), JORDAN, 8 (Jeremy Suarez) and BRYANNA, 5 (Dee Dee Davis), instead of letting them go to the state or foster care where "they'd have to share food with 40 other kids."

He believes kids are "too sassy, too grown and talk back too much," and that a little respect for one's elders is not so much to ask. And when it comes to parenting, Bernie subscribes to the school of tough love. However, in trying to do the right thing, he doesn't always do the right thing.
