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.

Well it's 2008 and it's still NOT FUNNY. Better if he sticks to theater and keep working at the movies. The movies are getting better, but still always over the top in some kind of way. Although, I admit that I have not seen The Family That Preys, but I Googled it and the average rating was 2.7 out of 5. He's been getting some headliners to be in his movies, but if the writing ain't there... It just seems like the actors are doing him a favor by being in the movie even though they’ve read the scripts. They can't turn a garbage script into something fabulous.

I agree with most of the people the show was not funny last night. The nurse should have been cut totally from the show and the doctor was, well it is hard to explain him and keep it clean because if somebody I would have talked to me like that he would have knock completely out although I know this was supposed to be a funny show it was not and that part of the show wiped out all chances of being funny. Oh! another thing please don't let the twins mother go back on crack that part of the show is not funny in fact it is degrading. Hope it get a little more positive. Good luck for future shows.

I remember this show from another network and I couldn't take it. It was too dramatic to be funny considering the story line of a mother of Alan Payne's kids being on drugs. If they had added a song, it would have been like sitting in the theater watching one of his too much damn music plays.

I was expecting to see a good show...but I was definately let down. The show was rarely funny. I think I actually laughed only once or twice throughout both episodes. I was sadly dissapointed at perry's work in this.

Tylaer, I appreciate the effort, but the show is just not funny. It's the same unfunny storyline from last season. Hopefully, you will take the criticism & advice from your viewers & make some changes to your writing team. Sorry & good luck.

It was okay, it had its moments but I love Tyler, and I would support him. I am positive it will only get better.
