“House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns” may not be what You Think

In 2007, Tyler Perry officially broke into the sitcom world. He brought to the world, “House of Payne” to TBS.

Upon its arrival, the show set records for TBS and cable TV in general.

However, after a year into the series, it receives a major backlash. People were taking Perry’s humor and calling it bland writing and coonery.

Because of that, people began to talk more and more on this.

Then, in 2009, he readied “Payne” spin-off, “Meet the Browns.” Like, Payne, it was criticized for bland writing and coonery.

That may be his choice of humor, but, look at the television white-out that has been taking place since the arrival of “House of Payne.”

Tyler Perry’s sitcoms are all that we have aside from such shows as “Living Lavish,” “The Way We Live,” “Commin’ Up,” “Kiki & Claude,” and “Agape.”

So, honestly, there is no need to be terribly critical because that may force the advertisers to stop sponsoring the show, people to stop watching, and the network to cancel the shows.

Then, there is nothing left and there will be a backlash by black people to TBS just like The CW.

It is true that “House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns,” but, aside from the original programming on True Black Television, there are not any scripted original programs on TV.

Also, Perry may hire better writers that may move his shows into different directions.

His shows may not be the cup of tea to some, but, ratings tell a different story. Plus, most of his work ends with a positive moral that promotes family values.

It is obviously difficult to combine the seriousness of his subjects into a typical sitcom, but, he is trying.
