Rest in Peace-Bernie Mac


It is a sad day indeed. Funny man Bernie Mac passed on. I can think of many times when I was down and popped in a Bernie Mac movie that had me laughing like crazy. . In 2001, Fox gave Mac his own sitcom called, The Bernie Mac Show, somewhat based on his own life. In the show, he suddenly becomes custodian over his sister's three children after she enters rehab. It was a success, in part because it allows Mac to stay true to his stand-up comedy roots, breaking the fourth wall to communicate his thoughts to the audience. The show contained many parodies of events in Bernie's actual life. However, the show was not renewed after the 2006 season. Viewers were left without a conclusion for the series, and no ending to the storyline where Bernie and Wanda were trying to have a baby. His character on The Bernie Mac Show was ranked #47 in TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time." ~CLICK TITLE OF POST TO VIEW ALL~
