The hold that family sitcoms have over popular culture is utterly unmatched. From shows like "Married... With Children" to "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," family sitcoms have never been far from dominating our screens. Unabashed sitcom fans the world over, and maybe even a few folks out there who don't like to admit it, love to sit down and unwind with their favorite TV family. There's almost always a happy ending or lesson to be learned that audiences can relate to in some shape or form, and that's what makes the family sitcom formula successful.

The early 2000s were somewhat of a silver age for family sitcoms, with shows like "8 Simple Rules" and "Malcolm in the Middle" rising to primetime prominence. One show that truly gets overlooked is the Damon Wayans sitcom "My Wife and Kids." The show ran for five seasons between 2001 and 2005 on ABC. The Kyle family consists of Michael and his wife Jay alongside their three children Junior, Claire, and Kady. The parents are known for using comedy and sarcasm to deal with their somewhat aloof children. And while the show was never the most popular of its time, it has aged favorably, with many viewers now discovering and enjoying everything the Kyle family has to offer (via Reddit).

Let's take a look at some untold truths about "My Wife and Kids" that are sure to surprise even the biggest fans of this wonderful family sitcom.
