Ep 21. Return of the Wall

In the My Wife and Kids season 2 episode 21, entitled Return of the Wall, the show takes a comedic turn as the character played by Damon Wayans, Michael Kyle, is trying to build a new wall in the backyard. The challenge, however, is that all of the men in the family are terrible at building walls.

The episode revolves around Michael Kyle's efforts to take on this project with the help of his sons, Junior and Kady. They end up hiring a contractor named Manny, who turns out to be more trouble than he's worth.

The comedy relies on the Kyles' experiences with Manny, who is a character that can never seem to get anything done. He shows up late, doesn't have the right tools, and makes mistakes that end up costing the Kyles time and money.

Despite Manny's incompetence, the family tries to stick with him until he has a major accident on the job that sends him to the hospital. The Kyles must scramble to find a new contractor to help them finish the wall.

The subplot of the episode focuses on Michael Kyle's relationship with his neighbor, Franklin. Franklin is a frequent character on the show and is known for his laziness. Michael tries to get Franklin to help him with the wall, but he refuses, insisting that he's too busy. However, when he hears about the accident at the job site, he shows up to see what's going on.

The episode ends with the Kyles finally getting the wall built, but with plenty of comedic moments along the way. The family works together to get the job done, and despite all of the challenges they faced, they are proud of their new wall.

Overall, this episode is a prime example of the show's style of humor. It's lighthearted, family-friendly, and relies on situational comedy and relatable characters to keep viewers entertained. The performances of the cast members are stellar, with Damon Wayans leading the way with his signature wit and charm. This episode, like many others in the series, succeeds in bringing laughter and joy to its audience.
