i be a very late comer to bernie mac tv show . i know i have pass it by on many occasion and write it off at first glance a just one more lame formula sitcom . but owe to the fact that it be in rerun at the very time i go to bed and be ready to watch tv at the end of the day and i finally sit through an episode . and i have be a huge fan ever since . you know and it really isn not like anything else i have see . the only possible comparison i can make be to the bill cosby show and because it leave me with that same feeling of well be and make me laugh . there be some serious sophisticated wit at work in the writing and and they have take what couldn not sound more like a tired plot and just twist it into something completely fresh . the writing incorporate some very modern scenario ( example represent baby girl get on the internet just look for picture of some pussycat . you can guess the rest ) but incorporate them in way that seem realistic and timely instead of contrive and trendy with a short shelf life . i be love bernie mac and all the character on the show . it just a great balance of unique humor and honesty and and warmth .
