My Wife and Kids (Seasons 1–5)

My Wife and Kids (2001) is a family sitcom starring Damon Wayans that you can watch online on iFILM. Michael Kyle is certain he runs his household. Everyone else just plays along to keep the peace.

Michael raises three kids his own way, through teasing, ridiculous staged lessons and the odd flash of real fatherly wisdom. His wife Janet (Tisha Campbell) juggles the home, a career and a nonstop verbal sparring match with him. The kids all get their turn: slow-witted son Junior, moody teenage daughter Claire who's perpetually broke, and little Kady, who rarely lets Dad have the last word. A young Sofia Vergara turns up in the early seasons.

Wayans created and produced the show around his own comic improv, which is where those big set-piece scenes come from, with Michael acting out an entire bit to teach the kids a lesson. It's warm, loud, no-edge family comedy from the early 2000s, light on lectures and heavy on laughs. Stream My Wife and Kids (2001) online on iFILM.
