Ep 1. Keep It on the Short Grass

In the season 2 premiere of The Bernie Mac Show, titled "Keep It on the Short Grass," Bernie is determined to help his niece, Vanessa, pass her driver's test. Despite Vanessa's resistance, Bernie takes her out to practice driving and hilariously tries to teach her the importance of staying on the "short grass" as he navigates her through a golf course. Meanwhile, Bryana becomes obsessed with a clown doll and it leads to some comedic chaos in the household. Jordan struggles with his fear of the dark and relies on Bryana's clown doll for comfort. In typical Bernie Mac fashion, the episode tackles everyday family issues with a healthy dose of humor and heart. The episode also serves to set the tone for the rest of the season as viewers continue to follow the Mac family through their adventures and misadventures.
