CENTURY CITY, Calif. –- Bernie Mac and his hilarious family’s antics take center stage when Fox Home Entertainment releases the “The Bernie Mac Show” Season One DVD Collection on May 4. The show “turns the family sitcom on its head and then sets it spinning"

(The Washington Post), transcending race and class while lifting viewers with laughter, compassion and cool. This hit comedic family sitcom garnered two Emmy® nominations in 2003 for
“Best Actor In A Comedy Series” and “Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series” as audiences fell in love with comedian Bernie Mac’s unique brand of parenting. Inspired by his real life experiences,

“The Bernie Mac Show” revolves around Bernie and his wife Wanda’s attempt to raise his sister’s three children. The collectible four-disc set includes all 22 episodes from season one for the suggested retail price of $49.98 U.S./$69.98 Canada.


SERIES SYNOPSIS:

Inspired by the real life of comedian Bernie Mac, “The Bernie Mac Show” is a daring half-hour comedy about a man with a unique view on parenting. Bernie (Bernie Mac) and his wife Wanda (Kellita Smith) will tell you straight-up they never wanted to raise kids. He’s a busy stand-up comedian, and she just got promoted to vice president for AT&T. But when his drug-addicted sister finally checks into rehab, Bernie decides to take in her three kids--Vanessa, 13 (Camille Winbush), Jordan, 8 (Jeremy Suarez) and Bryanna, 5 (Dee Dee Davis)--instead of letting them go to the state or foster care where “they’d have to share food with 40 other kids.”
