Scott Sandell Los Angeles Times "My Wife and Kids" benefits greatly from [Damon] Wayans' ability to go from stern paternal figure one moment to goofy husband the next. Whether he's laying down the law or pretending to be Stevie Wonder at the keyboard, he's always entertaining. Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
