I think that it will definitely take some getting used to, cuz like you said, it's not a typical sitcom. He was on Howard Stern (I don't listen, lol, I just heard) talking about how his show is just his real life, put in TV form. So maybe his wife calls him that all the time? I lightweight tripped off of that, too.

But what she did say that was funny was when she was talkin' about her job... "They don't play that, they're AT&T." That was funny.

If it IS realistic, his wife still works? And for AT&T? Would you work if your man was rich? And I don't mean community service, I mean a job, lol. I would quit, lol.

I would quit in a heartbeat. Nobody would have to tell me twice.

You don't listen to Howard Stern...suuuure (okay, we believe you...LOL)
I think the show will grow on me. I like Bernie Mac, so I'll support his show.
Now, can I just take a sidebar and mention My Wife and Kids. I have been TRYING to let that show grow on me. NO matter HOW MUCH I like Damon Wayans...I just CAN'T get used to Tisha Campbell's poodle hair style. Yes, it's distracting...and it's the reason why I haven't been able to enjoy the show

It's on up against the West Wing here, so I don't think I'll be watching it unless there's a WW re-run on, but I did switch over during one of the commercials. I saw the bit with the homeless guy who said he hadn't eaten in two weeks and Bernie replied "You ain't missing nothing... it still tastes the same!"

I am sorry guys, but the show was not hitting at all with me or my associates. It was fake and it wasn't funny at all. I thought that it was going to be funny like the Steve Harvey Show. It seemed to me like he was trying to give illustrations on how germs traveled. To me it seemed basically a kid show instead of an adult show. I think the producers could have had more originality in writing the script. It's either the actors, producers, or writers. Something needs to change.

It is definitely DIFFERENT. I'm definitely NOT feeling the subtitles, little illustrations, etc. I THOUGHT it was going to be like Steve Harvey...but I'm willing to give him another chance. If the ratings were really good, they aren't going to make any changes just yet, though.

CJUS · #21 11-15-2001, 02:38 PM

Yeah, I guess I will give it another chance. I was so glad that they gave him his own sitcom, but it wasn't Bernie character.

But I will watch and support the show just like I did with My Wife and Kids, and that show has gotten a little better to me.

We interrupt this regulary scheduled program.....

Kim, what happened on Felicity? Did they finally have the big showdown? Did Ben find out that Felicity tipped out with Noel?

Now back to our regulary scheduled program...

I thought the show was okay. I luvs me some Bernie and like most of you, I'm used to the cursing. I did fall off my chair when he turned into an old man listening to Brianna read that story.... Could I not identify!?

I just hope they keep his pants on him in the remaining shows. I mean really, I don't wanna see no grown azz man running with his pants down around his ankles (unless it's like Mekhi Pfiefer (?sp)

I love Felicity, so it was hard for me to miss the first half. Ben found out and Noel went to tell Felicity that he "accidentally" told Ben. I really don't like Ben so I was gloating when Noel told him, but he deserved it.

Ben kept telling Noel how he will never have Felicity and Noel said he already did. However, Ben thought he was talking about freshman year, and Noel quickly set the record straight.

I saw previews for next week when Felicity tells Megan, and she says it's about time!

LOVED IT!!!!!

The 2nd episode was funnier than the 1st one and I thought the way they showed the germ-spreading was very creative.

It was kinda weird not hearing him say his famous word though.

Anyway, I will be watching every Wednesday nite!

AKAtude,

I agree with you on not liking that damn Ben. I was glad that Noel "accidentally" told Ben. Next weeks' episode is going to be oh so good.

Now back to Bernie Mac, I thought episode 2 was a little better, but it still has to grow on me. I was totally disgusted though seeing him run down the hall with his pants at his ankles.

Now moving over to My Wife and Kids, I was thinking the same thing last night about Tisha's hair. I was like can't they give her a straight wig or weave or whatever she is wearing cuz all that curly hair ain't hitting on a damn thing.

I definitely had mixed feelings about the show. I was expecting a lot more, though. It definitely gave me chuckles here and there, but it wasn't the Bernie I was used to. I mean, I am used to having a stomach cramp, can't breath whenever i am listening to Bernie. But I didn't feel that way last night. I think the fact that the show has kids on it limits it, as in he can't tell the adult jokes that he's famous for. In my opinion, it should have been structured more like Martin, an adult show. I'm still giving the BMS the benefit of the doubt, but they definitely need to come a little bit better than that!(IMO, of course)

I liked it. I paid more attention to the 2nd episode than the first.

I love Bryanna and Bernie's rapport.
I loved the part where they were playing "parade".

The show is a keeper for me.

The part I did see was OK
But I NEVER like the Steve Harvey show that much
as a teacher I found it well just a little over done--

First, I was like...how many times is she going to say "Bernie Mac?" We know his name...just say "Bernie."

My family has relatives and family friends that we just have to use the person's whole name. It just comes naturally. My deceased grandfather was one of those people. Everyone still refers to him as Jim Owens. I also have uncles and cousins to this day that we call by their first and last names. Maybe that is how people really do refer to him.

The Steve Harvey show has gone down. I loved the first season when Romeo was with the little Latin Spitfire -- Sophia and her friend who was the actress diva in traininig.

The Steve Harvey show is so unrealistic when it comes to teaching. It just is. I have never seen my principal do the things that Regina does. Lovita should have been fired.

Romeo and Bullethead should have been out of that school.

At times the show is great but @ others it is too over the top. Yet they got rid of FOR YOUR LOVE
