My Wife and Kids deserves more recognition, according to fans
"My Wife and Kids" (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/wniz8o/my_wife_and_kids_was_a_great_sitcom_that_promoted/) has been off the air for years, but it's still fondly remembered by some sitcom enthusiasts. A Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/bf9jix/underrated_af/) thread saw many commenters discuss why the show doesn't always get the credit it deserves, despite its many qualities.
According to u/Floydeezy (https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/bf9jix/comment/elbzp68/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), the series didn't find a wider audience until later on. While this may have hampered the show's chances of success early on, viewers were enamored by it down the line. "This was one of those shows that no one watched until it went into syndication, then it became the show you always stopped on when you were scrolling thru the channels late at night."
This sentiment was echoed by u/the-onion-eater (https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/bf9jix/comment/elc21u9/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), who felt that "My Wife and Kids" could have been promoted better. "I feel like this is one of the shows that didn't get much attention in [the] USA, but is a "classic" outside of it."
Other fans felt that the show deserved more recognition as it promoted strong values and was unafraid to touch on serious subjects. "It was [underrated] and it touched on necessary topics for both young people and adults," u/Self-Light-Love (https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/bf9jix/comment/elcltzp/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) wrote. "It showed the way a family should run and was one of the ways I got to see how a real man fathers children. There was humor, compassion, and love all up in that family."
