Season 2

#11 Mom’s Away (Sept. 26, 2001)
Damon Wayans' family sitcom begins its second season with an hourlong episode in which Jay's off tending to her mother, who broke her leg. That leaves Michael in charge and the kids don't like it. Kady is particularly glum, so Michael tries to cheer her up with fanciful tales about her birth (one of which features a cameo by Shaquille O'Neal). Meanwhile, Jr.'s new "friends" aren't being very friendly, and Claire's friend Charmaine doesn't seem to want to go home.

#12 No Rules (Oct. 3, 2001)
The kids are chafing at Michael's household rules, so he drops them all. He also stops doing anything for them. That means they must cook their own meals and get themselves to school. It also means that Jr. may eat in his room — and live with the ants the food attracts. And it means that Claire may talk on the telephone as long as she likes, as long as she uses the pay phone Michael has installed.

#13 Perfect Dad (Oct. 10, 2001)
Claire and Kady and Jr. are fed up with the way Michael has been treating them while Jay has been away ("You've been a dictator," Claire tells him), so they concoct a fantasy about "the perfect dad." Then Michael gets a turn to concoct a fantasy of his own. Gary Coleman has a cameo as Kady's fiancé.

#14 Thru Thick and Thin (Oct. 17, 2001)
Jay finally returns from California and it seems that she has put on weight. "She's a giant part of the family," Michael tells the kids. But what he tells his shrink concerns his performance anxieties.

#15 He Heard, She Heard (Oct. 24, 2001)

#16 Michael's Garden (Oct. 31, 2001)
Lou Rawls guest stars in an episode that takes a lighthearted but informative look at a serious problem: colon cancer. It's especially acute among African-Americans over 40---and guess who's 40? Not only that, but Michael has been having bathroom problems. Still, he won't go to the doctor. “What is it with men?” Janet fumes. “You take better care of your cars than you do of your bodies.” That doesn't change his mind, but the thought of not being there for his kids does, so he has a colonoscopy. But first he gets a preview of the procedure in his dreams. That's where Rawls---as a singing doctor---comes in.

#17 Let Them Eat Pie (Nov. 7, 2001)
Claire, playing a dare game with Jr. and Kady, eats Michael's piece of pie. Michael's punishment: Let them eat pie (and only pie). Meanwhile, Michael offers to be the dieting Jay's “chubby buddy”: He'll eat the same lo-cal food she does. Of course, he doesn't tell her that he plans to cheat.
