My Wife and Kids is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC from March 28, 2001 to May 17, 2005 with a total of 123 half-hour episodes spanning five seasons. The series, produced by Touchstone Television in association with Wayans Bros. Entertainment and Impact Zone, stars Damon Wayans (also creator alongside veteran television writer/producer Don Reo) as Michael Kyle, the patriarch of a black family in Stamford, Connecticut.

Premise

The show, set in Stamford, Connecticut, follows an upper middle class African American family, led by patriarch Michael Kyle Sr., who owns and operates his own trucking company. Michael thinks he commands his family, but his day-trader wife Janet, gangsta rap-worshipping son Michael Jr., and broody daughters: self-centered Claire and his favorite youngest Kady remind him every day that his dream is just a dream.
