With the comedian's death from pneumonia in 2008, the sitcom has become one of his most well-known and respected works. Nevertheless, The Bernie Mac Show stayed on the air for 104 episodes and 5 seasons, which was long enough to snag syndication status (it currently airs on FX and BET). In a TV environment that restricted many black comedies onto UPN (and mostly derivative ones at that), this was considered a breath of fresh air. These subversions include the lack of a Laugh Track, the episodes are more narrowly focused on a singular theme instead of balancing several storylines, and the comedian addresses the audience in fourth wall breaking discussions when he deals with his frustrations, woes and epiphanies. Critics and viewers connected with the comedian's cruder, more honest perspective on parenting and appreciated the subversions of several tried-and-true sitcom devices along the way. Ratings for the show were initially mediocre, but it gained a solid following during its debut season.

The sitcom is loosely based on Bernie Mac's real-life experiences (something Everybody Hates Chris also benefited from years later), and was also inspired by a Kings of Comedy routine he performed a year earlier. The results are.quite varied, what with Vanessa's rebellious streak, Jordan's mix of hypochondria and odd obsessions (one being breasts), and Bryana's sugary innocence. With his wife Wanda, Bernie Mac helps raise the young trio in his Los Angeles home and give them a sense of stability they lacked at home. It was for good reason, since their mother was stuck in rehab and unable to properly care for her kids.

When The Bernie Mac Show debuted on November 17, 2001, audiences watched the Kings of Comedy comedian learn that lesson the hard way when he adopted his two nieces and nephew from their Chicago home.
