In case you missed the switch-up, Jazz Raycole played the role of Damon Wayans and Tisha Campbell-Martin’s on-screen middle child, Claire, for Season 1. But when Season 2 came along, Jennifer Freeman was playing the part. And the show even acknowledged the recasting in a line of dialogue: In one scene, Michael observes that there’s something different about Claire. “Whatever it is, you look like a whole different person,” he says.
The Season 5 finale, "The 'V' Story", ended with an intense cliffhanger, but was not intended to be the final episode. However, the show's cancellation was announced the day before the episode's premiere, and this came to be the series finale. My Wife and Kids was one of ABC’s best-loved sitcoms but was cancelled before its sixth season, leaving viewers with an unresolved cliffhanger. You Are Reading :Why My Wife And Kids Was Cancelled Before Season 6 My Wife And Kids ran for five successful seasons between 2001 and 2005, but why was it cancelled before season 6? Created by Damon Wayans (Lethal Weapon) and Don Reo, ABC’s My Wife And Kids was one of the longest-running African-American sitcoms of the early 2000s. Wayans starred as Michael Kyle, the patriarch of an upper middle class black family living in Stamford, Connecticut with his wife Jay, played by Tisha Campbell-Martin. The show focused on the couple and their three children Junior (George O. Gore II), Kady (Parker McKenna Posey) and Claire – who was played by Jazz Raycole during season 1 but replaced in subsequent seasons by Jennifer Freeman after the role was recast. Fans of My Wife And Kids may remember the season 5 finale “The ‘V’ Story” ended with a cliffhanger. Directed by Tisha Campbell-Martin, the episode centered around Jay reading a newspaper article about a 67-year-old woman giving birth and asking Michael to get a vasectomy to prevent any future baby-shaped surprises. When he chickens out, Jay volunteers to get a hysterectomy instead, but Michael eventually comes around. Just as he tells Jay he’s willing to get the snip, however, she informs him it doesn’t matter anymore because she’s pregnant. Viewers never got to see how that cliffhanger played out though since season 5 turned out to be My Wife And Kids’ last. The very same day “The ‘V’ Story” aired, news broke ABC had cancelled My Wife And Kids alongside a number of other shows including fellow sitcom 8 Simple Rules and crime drama Blind Justice. Rather than renew the show for a sixth season, ABC instead chose to give its Tuesday 8 pm slot to the Jim Belushi (Twin Peaks) fronted sitcom According to Jim.

Stephen McPherson, the then president of ABC, also stated that American Idol – which was then airing on Fox on Tuesday nights – was damaging the ratings of ABC’s Tuesday night comedies. According to Wayans, the cancellation of My Wife And Kids came as a shock to him since he was under the impression from ABC his show had been picked up for the 2005-2006 season. That explains why the season 5 finale concluded with a big cliffhanger because Wayans thought it would be addressed in the next season. Unfortunately, season 6 never came and My Wife And Kids fans are still left wondering what became of the Kyle family and their new addition.
