	Mediajonez.com - TV: The Bernie Mac Show (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Mac is a riot as he tries to hold his ground as an individual, but he loses out on such luxuries as going Las Vegas with the guys.
		Bernie Mac's interaction with his family causes frequent funny moments, but there is another aspect to the show that I feel is the real gem.
		It's nice to see that The Bernie Mac Show is being widely applauded for it's originality, especially when the star shares his appreciation with the audience on a daily basis.

	Bernie Mac rebounds, but can his show?
		Mac was characteristically calm and cool as he greeted colleagues and made faces at the younger cast members, causing them to crack up and blow their lines.
		And while one-hour TV dramas are the current rave of critics and viewers, "The Bernie Mac Show" is one of the remainders of a disappearing genre -- the family situation comedy with a comedian at its center.
		Mac received Emmy nominations for outstanding lead actor in a comedy in the first two seasons, and creator Larry Wilmore scored an upset victory for the outstanding comedy writing Emmy for the show's pilot.

	tvdvdreviews.com -- The Bernie Mac Show: Season 1 DVD Review
		Mac has a comically short temper and is hyper aware that the kids are crimping his style.
		Mac's preferred method of waking up Jordan each morning is to shoot him with a squirt gun because "he hate water worse than a cat." He awakens Bryana by grabbing her ankles and shaking her vigorously upside down.
		By ditching this style, The Bernie Mac Show is free to explore comedy in ways that regular sitcoms cannot, as in "Now You Got It!" where we follow fluorescent green cold germs as they are passed from person to person onscreen throughout the episode.

	The Bernie Mac Show Season 1
		The plot of the show is that Bernie Mac essentially plays himself, a very successful stand-up comedian who uses his humor and charisma to take himself out of the tough urban streets of Chicago and is now living the American dream in his big mansion in the hills of Los Angeles.
		In the show’s pilot episode, the whole plot for the show is set up as Bernie Mac greets the audience is his easy chair in his office and tells us the story of his sister’s incarceration.
		Bernie doesn’t like to admit it, but by about halfway into the first season, he has fallen hopelessly in love with the kids and wouldn’t know what to do without them.

	USATODAY.com - 100 shows in, 'Bernie Mac' soldiers on (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The show's premise is that Bernie McCullough (a stand-up comic played by Mac) and his wife, Wanda, live in a nice neighborhood in Encino, Calif. Bernie never wanted kids, but when his sister is sent to jail, her three children — Vanessa (Camille Winbush), Jordan (Jeremy Suarez) and Bryanna (Dee Dee Davis) — move in.
		Bernie Mac has decided his comic persona was definitely going to be the blustery, 'I'm-not-the-one' mountain of indignity.
		Still, the show has aired on five different nights since it premiered, and ratings are down from a high of 10 million viewers in 2003 to an average of less than 4 million this year.

	The Bernie Mac Show: Season One
		Bernie has a beautiful wife, a stunning home and is making more money in his career than he ever dreamed of.
		Bernie has a very hilarious stand-up bit about having to take care of his sister’s kids that was the inspiration for the series.
		When Mac utters his patented line “I’m gonna kill them kids,” you really feel his frustration as he tries to come to terms with the fact that his life will never be the same now that he is their legal guardian.

	TVShowsOnDVD.com - Review for Bernie Mac Show, The - Season 1
		Bernie Mac is part of a new breed of show that's shot on high-definition instead of traditional video or film.
		This is an outstanding look at Bernie Mac's rise from the streets of Chicago to star in his own show on Fox.
		While talking about the show with some co-workers one day, someone asked me if The Bernie Mac Show contained a lot of "fl humor." While his standup routines might contain jokes aimed at a fl audience, I didn't find that I had a hard time relating to the humor in the show.

	The Bernie Mac Show-Season 1
		The Cosby Show was fitfully amusing, but I've personally never met a family quite that perfect, and the overly-political correctness sometimes got in the way of the humor.
		While the set-up of The Bernie Mac Show is sometimes similar - that the namesake character is a successful, affluent African American who's quick with a comeback - one must appreciate the attempt to portray parents and kids the way they really are.
		As for Bernie Mac himself...he's yet to establish himself as a true actor, but since the show's tailor-made to suit his comedic style, he's fairly amusing and effective.

	The Bernie Mac Show \| PopMatters Television Review
		In the first scene of the show's debut, Bernie is reclined in a leather armchair, puffing away at a huge cigar, before turning to face the camera and declare, "I'm gonna kill one of them kids." Cliff Huxtable, he is not.
		In the show, Bernie Mac plays a version of himself, a highly successful comedian and actor whose sister's legal troubles lead him and his wife Wanda (Kellita Smith) to adopt her children.
		Bernie Mac, for his part, is comfortable with his role as the (funny) angry fl man. He revels in his iconoclastic turn as the anti-Cosby, free to be rich without fitting pre-set, conservative (read white) standards of behavior, free to say what he truly feels without the threat of disenfranchisement.

	The Bernie Mac Show - Television Review
		Bernie Mac, a stand-up comedian both on the show and in real life, is on his way to becoming a memorable TV dad, combining traits of both Archie Bunker and Bill Cosby.

		THE BERNIE MAC SHOW is similar to Everybody Loves Raymond in that the dad's foibles and complaints are a main focus of the show.

		In real life, Bernie Mac is married with one child; Mac's character on the show (also a stand-up comedian) is married with no kids of his own.

		And Bernie himself has crafted a persona that is both absurd in his bravado and self-mythologizing and deeply real in his emotional complexity, flipflopping from childish grandiosity to mature judgment.
		The show is cleverly written and its great to see a "parent" on a TV show not know all the answers (which is, of course, the reason why Kellita Smith as Bernie's wife Wanda is there.
		Bernie Mac adds some humor to the situation but he does't leave out the feelings and adjustments everybody has to deal with.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Bernie Mac Show
		When his sister's drug-taking becomes too much of a problem for her to take effective care of her children, standup comedian Bernie Mac and his high-flying businesswoman wife Wanda (she's a vice-president at ATandT) inherit an instant family: Bernie's nephew and two nieces.
		The Macs' neat, orderly lifestyle and pristine home is immediately turned upside down by the onslaught of hurricane kids.
		Bernie's acerbic wit when dealing with the kids served as a pleasing counterbalance to the inevitable sentimentality arising from the situation, and it was also refreshing to see drug-use cited as a problem in such a high-achieving fl family, rather than be treated merely as an urban ghetto dilemma.
