Tyler Perry's House Of Payne
 

I have never seen a show as bad as this one (yes, I know it has not even been on yet, but it looks like another WB, garden-variety shallow sitcom) get as much run as this one does.
Does anyone think this show looks REMOTELY funny?

Didn't Sinbad have a show?

Probably.
I'm still waiting for Tommy Davidson and Marlon Wayans to have their own show.

No. This show doesn't even appear to be in general vicinity of what is deemed as funny.

Jeeezus...atleast wait until the show airs..I mean..dang.. :shrug :lol

YEah I have but I mean is it really that serious for you to devote a thread to bash the show before it even airs..I mean have a lil patience.. :lol

U haven't even seen the show yet.. :lol It could be good..and what "actual" good shows are u talking about? I mean atleast with this show u have previews..but those so called "good" shows that got passed on ur talking about...there is no way of knowing if those shows were any good..lol.

"C'mon. Get your pimp walk on."

I won't be watching - I've seen this show before...the first forty times it was attempted.

Watch the Playoffs live (without TiVo) and you'll see ads for it about 700,000 times an hour.

It just looks like a sterotypical comedy with no new ideas. Something that's been done over and over. They even compared it to Everybody Loves Raymond when talking about the return of the family show.
They show the dad in one scene wearing a basketball jersey talking about his skills, then of course he falls on his big arse.
It just looks like any of the other comedies done over and over again on the WB, but the difference is this one is getting tons of hype. I've been seeing these commercials for weeks now. And I think it edbuts in June.

Bump.
For no good reason.
Just want to keep talking about this awful show. How about that Nell Carter-looking wife?
Good god. This show is going to blow. Really hard.
I'm almost excited to see how bad it's going to be.

Im officially sick of the three-camera family sitcom. Working in the industry, I can tell you that their disposability is superceded only by the reality show which doesn't even have writers (who normally wield the most power).

The last family sitcom that was even remotely original was Married... with Children and that's only because Al Bundy's iconic status carried on the legacy of Archie Bunker's irreverance (but made it compatible with the 80's and 90's).

Three-camera shows then in the 90s became obsessed with 20-somethings and 30-somethings living in New York. Mild variants of that were pretty good with Seinfeld being by far the best, Friends being good initially but getting stale about 3 seasons in.

For some reason, and I blame mostly blame 'Raymond' for this, these lame-ass family sitcoms are still believed to be popular by execs.

I think the next big thing in TV comedy is the Arrested Development style. Ultra-rapid fire comedy, high production value, and plenty of incentive to follow with storylines that span multiple seasons. Unfortunately, AD was cancelled. But some other shows are carrying out its legacy (though, in my opinion, not as well as AD) like The Office and Entourage. 30 Rock and My Name Is Earl are also pretty good and share some of this approach to TV Comedy.

Anything but the f*cking couch...

Married W/ Children was ahead of its time.
Raymond - which was greatness - could very well be the last of the traditional sitcom.
I highly doubt House 'O Payne will carry the torch.

Meh, for a couch sitcom it was above average. But its crap compared to what's on HBO and especially compared to AD, The Office, 30 Rock, Earl.

:clap Amen! I loved AD and thought it was one of the most original comedies on tv. I'd much rather watch a show that doesn't tell me when to laugh. The Office, Earl, Scrubs, and AD are some of the good ones.

Yeah they're great shows, though I'd say that Scrubs is closer to Friends than it is to AD. It was one of the first comedies to do the single camera thing (along with Malcolm in the Middle)

OK, clarification. They used "Raymond" and "The Cosby Show" talking about the return of the family comedy.
I can just see in the annals of time, the great family shows of the past:
"Lucy", "Cosby", "Raymond", "Tyler Perry's House Of Pain".
Not.

My sides hurt!

Did anyone catch Tyler Perry on Inside the NBA on TNT last night?
He was kind enough to (pay money) to stop by and visit with the crew.
OK, apparently, TPHOP is going to be part "Good Times", part "Archie Bunker", part "Cosby Show".
Tyler Perry will also have a recurring role as a woman (i.e. Martin Lawrence), crudley made up.
And most important, there will also be messages in each espisode. So not only do you laugh and cry, you also learn as a human being.

Hmmm...I could have sworn he said, "I'm rubber, you're glue ebbie dobbie doobiie blooobie stasha onshie shoo."

:shrug

i cant stand those shows that send a message or try teach a lesson. the message this show will send is not funny.

got to love the office and 30 rock. cant forget about always sunny in philadelphia.

The Simpsons is the best family sitcom ever.

Yea! LoL!
