Only 98 more episodes to go.

That's the good news after 'House of Payne' made its official debut Wednesday on TBS.

The bad news is, well, 98 more episodes to go.

If you think I'm kidding, Tyler Perry said that the network ordered 100 episodes of the show and they were only on episode 40 and would be filming until the rest of the year.

As for the show, the only difference between tonight's two episodes and the handful of episodes that aired last year were the cameo additions of Madea and Brown.

Otherwise, it was the same unfunny material that I remember from last year.

Madea and Brown made a noticeable difference.

I actually laughed once or twice.

But fans shouldn't get their hopes up on seeing them appear anytime soon.

"It's a one time deal tonight but who knows, she might show up from time to time," Perry said. "It just depends if I'm bored or not."

Or if the ratings stink, then it's time to put on the dress again.

Perry does a great job with his plays, but unfortunately, that same humor and writing doesn't seem to be coming across when writing for television.
