My Wife and Kids

Show Summary

Popular film and television star Damon Wayans stars as Michael Kyle, a loving husband and modern-day patriarch who rules his household with a unique and distinct parenting style. As he teaches his three children some of life's lessons, he does so with his own brand of wisdom, discipline and humor.

Now that Jr. and his girlfriend, Vanessa, are parents of a baby boy, Michael and his loving wife, Jay, are proud but young grandparents, and are adjusting to their new roles. Not only are they trying to help their son become a responsible father, but they want to help the teenaged couple make some important decisions in their lives. They all seem to have their own opinion when it comes to answering such questions like: Should the new parents continue to live in the Kyle garage? Should they get engaged or married? Will the new baby make Jr., who is terrified in his role as a new dad, act any smarter?

While trying to turn his son into a man, Michael begins to look at where his own life has taken him and wonders if he should make some changes. Jay, who also starts to question her purpose in life, pursues her educational goals and, along the way, decides to open a restaurant. Meanwhile, oldest daughter Claire's relationship with Tony, the odd and oddly endearing bible thumper, has endured. Claire is now a high school senior and is more than ready to do all the things that come along with that special time in life.

Little Kady feels a bit threatened by the new baby's presence, and her family is there to help her get over any insecurities. She continues her friendship with the young piano virtuoso, Franklin, who often complicates Michael's life. The boy sensed an opening in the family with Jr.'s impending graduation into adulthood, and Franklin is still trying to weasel his way into becoming the "good new son."

Michael can only hope his parental advice, mixed with witty humor, will steer his children to act responsibly. Through it all, Jr., Claire and Kady know they can turn to their father when they need his guidance. Sometimes it seems as though, even without their asking, Dad knows ahead of time what they might need, and he's only too happy to provide direction -- often to their chagrin.

  • best comedy sitcom ever!

    10
    I've been a huge fan of Damon Wayans since I saw this TV sitcom. Watching My Wife and Kids made me laugh all the time because there are lots of funny moments in this series. Overall, I simply love this show for being awesome! It's funnier than other comedy shows. I've been dying to watch this hilarious show all over again and took a chance to grab a copy from online DVD shops. Well, I got scammed before so it's really hard to find a good and trustworthy company. My officemate recommended a reliable seller. I purchased my order at http://www.jaxjade.com/My-Wife-And-Kids-Dvd-Complete-On-Dvds.html . My order was delivered in a very prompt manner. It was a good set and the quality is absolutely great! I'm very happy and proud with this DVD collection because watching this series again will surely remind of the good old funny days!moreless
  • Horrible Show For Kids!

    1.0
    I can't believe the network actually has this show on a family network! It could not be further from a family show than it already is. The charecters are degrading to the children. They have no values. They constanley talk about sex and Porn specifically. It is a show I turn EVERY time it starts to come on my television. It is to say the least a bunch of trash. I can't believe people have actually reviewed this as funny and a cute show. Who in their right mind lets their child sit down and watch a father and son fight over their porn collections! Or thinks its cute to see a father call his child a knuckle head in a degrading manner then tell her to pore her cereal on the floor so the maid has more work to do!! Sick people are writing this and even sicker people are watching it! Needs to be yanked off air and put on a diffrent network. I shouldn't have to sensory nickelodeon. I watch true blood, being human and other ADULT shows and they are on networks they belong on. I'm so mad and hate nick for this.moreless
  • I'm sorry fans but this is just another Goerge Lopez.

    3.5
    OK Now i don't watch nick at nite because now they have shows like this airing. Now i'd rather watch this than the George Lopez crap. I can at least get a good laugh out of this show. Now probably my favorite character is the dad (I forgot his name), he always gets me a good laugh and he just hilarious. Now my least favorite character is probably Jr. He is stupid in the annoying way. Now The characters I like are Jay and Franklin but the kids are just annoying and childish. Now the only kid I like is Franklin, i can get a good laugh out of him sometimes, but hes annoying when he's flirting with the little girl. Now the couples with the kids are just flipping snnoying. Now i think Jr and his girlfriend make a good couple but with older girl and Tony do not. Now dont even get my started with Franklin and the younger girl. Now the old episode are probably the best but the new episodes just suck.Now I mean the old episode are just ok but they're not funny either. But like I said i'd rather watch this than George Lopez. Now this is just a bad show. Overall 3.5/10.moreless
  • Probably one of the funniest sitcoms out there

    9.0
    This show is hilarious. I like watching this show cuz it makes me laugh like nonstop. The only thing about this show I dont really like r some of the characters kind of irritate me but not all the time just some of the time. But I cant really say much since if they didnt have the characters it wouldnt be much of a family sitcom or whatever. The things I find the funniest about this show r when Michael makes fun of his son Junior. But yeah this has to be the funniest sitcom I've seen out there.moreless
  • This show's not exactly what I call 'funny'. Thank God it finally ended. How in the world did this last for 4 entire Seasons? Anyone??

    4.0
    I just don't get it. Shows like these stay on the air for 4 whole Seasons although it's not even the least bit funny. The jokes a predictable and the humor's anything but hilarious.



    Nevertheless, ABC held on to the show and renewed it for 4 Seasons, overall. There you have it: ABC's simply more patient with its shows. I can't imagine that this show had good ratings, average probably, but certainly not good!



    FOX can learn something from ABC here: they hold on to shows, which they think could be successful in the future (though this one may not be the perfect example).



    'My Wife and Kids' stays on the air and real well-written and funny shows like 'Undeclared', for example, get cancelled after only 16 episodes. That's a mystery to me!moreless
