Dylan Tosland I would like to begin with how bad this show makes my fellow African Americans look, it puts a bad name on all of us. The way this show attempts to be funny is disgusting really. The annoying nonsense and rambling on really got me thinking is it time for Tyler to quit... I can't seem to understand why this show is still available to watch on television. The plot is all over the place, the acting is just awful and the jokes which I have already mentioned are terrible. I have yet to understand why on earth a 60 year old man would allow 5+ people to stay at his house. This makes it look like my fellow blacks are just lazy as hell. I would demand this show be canceled immediately. I will never recommend this to anyone.
Writer01603 The route of good comedy exist with creating characters who actions relate to their environment. Tyler Perry doesn't understand that. None of his characters are ever explained, we don't know why they are so stupid, why they act so crazy, or why they are completely nuts. Take Arrested Development, a real comedy, with incredibly inane, stupid, crazy plots, and even more psychotic characters. Watching it however, you can believe these people exist, because they're actions are exactly what they're characters would lead you to believe.But we're supposed to believe that these blue collar, black folks, are stupid, moronic, inane, exaggerators of every small thing, and derive comedy from it. Family Matters was real comedy, it used it average intelligent people, acting sincerely, only to be drawn out through chaotic circumstances through the superior intelligence, but below average social person Steven Urkle. Brilliant comedy. Where is that dynamic. He doesn't seem to understand the straight man in a comedy routine duo. And their outrageous behavior is accepted as the norm. It doesn't make sense. It's pathetic. It's horrible. He really should stop writing.
sylverknight21 First off, before making this comment I read around and understand that it seems as though this is a love it or hate it kind of thing. Apparently most people truly hate this show, whereas others ( a tiny few) seem to like it. That being said, I knew nothing of Tyler Perry's work until now, and the only reason I even heard of this show is because it would be spammed during the commercials for the NBA playoffs.Honestly, the commercials alone were unbearable for me, however I gave it a shot, and honestly, with no bias whatsoever, this has got to be one of the worst works I have seen. Its apparent that its meant to be some sort of G to PG rated "whacky family" type of scenario, but oh GOD please, how are people so ignorant. I wonder, before such works are made, or written, do the people involved actually wonder, hmm, would I really rather spend my time watching this than doing anything else? The answer is no. Anyone who even gives this show like a 10 or something is completely mad, there is nothing funny about it, its just some stupid attempts at humor, and the only funny thing is when people take this comedy into another light and claim it has purpose or has some sort of literary quality to its writing.
funky-dee I have seen many good movies and a show by Tyler Perry.I liked House of Payne, it actually is like the beta version for this show and this show is a lot better.Many people criticized House of Payne, but i dunno why they didn't like it.Leroy Brown is a very entertaining character with a good personality and thats what i like about him, the plays i saw him in or the movie Meet the Browns.I like Tyler Perrys movies and shows and i recommend this TV show to everybody who like Tyler Perry.I don't know do black people feel offended by this show or House of Payne, because i saw many guys commenting, that House of Payne sets a bad example of a black man to white people.Im white, but i know a lot of black people and the shows are pure entertainment.
