Bernie Mac is a world-famous stand-up comedian living the good life in his Los Angeles home, complete with beautiful wife Wanda, and a hi-tech SUV. Life is sweet for the Mac-Man. Then one day, Bernie's sister in Chicago, is sent to rehab for drug use and her three children--teenage Vanessa, asthmatic wheezing Jordan and sweet, innocent Bryana--are put into Bernie's custody. Raising kids is hard. Especially these kids. They always give poor Uncle Bernie trouble, making him want to "bust their heads 'til the white meat shows".

Here's a rundown of the programs that might get the ax to make room for next season's new shows.NBCThe West Wing has chosen Jimmy Smits and Alan Alda as candidates for a post-Bartlet White House, and NBC has reelected Wing for a seventh term, but only after Warner Bros. reportedly offered to halve the show's hefty license fee.
