Why is Tyler Perry's House of Payne still on the air?

I'm sitting here watching this show ondemand. I haven't watched it in a while, but decided to try to watch it to see what's happening on the show.

They have attempted to expand their audience by adding Hispanic characters. I love the idea, but the way it is being presented doesn't make it look or feel authentic.

Is it me, but I think that all of the actors are HORRIBLE The younger people on the show are all good looking, but couldn't act their way out of a box. Not to mention that a couple of the guys look like they came out of a gay magazine.

The writing on this show is horrible! The dialog is horrible!

Let's just say that I will not be watching this crap anymore.

Who? "Calvin" and "CJ"?

Allen Payne cannot act his way out of a box. Not to mention, Allen Payne has been on fewer and fewer episodes. I see the kids and "Janine" more than him. What's up with that? I thought he was the "star" of the show?

Personally, I love his plays more than his TV show.

I guess that's part of their appeal. All of the young guys (even the supporting cast members) are good looking. The Hispanic guys look like they should be on a VH1 show (not saying that the vh1 shows are bad...they just look like they would fit in with 20 Pack and The Entertainer). lol lol

I thought I was the only black person that didn't like Tyler's BS. I'm glad that he's accomplished what he has, but it's all waaaay over the top and very contrived. The actors don't have any chemistry together and the story lines are HORRIBLE.

hopefully it will get better with time, might turn into something worth watching.

And why is he held to such high standards? 99.9% of the shows on T.V. are garbage, why should this one be any different?

They've had almost 3 years to do that and it has only gotten worse. Gladys Knight and Boris Kodjo making guest appearances aren't going to help this pile of crap.

Tell me why he shouldn't he be held to high standards? He's in the game to make "good" television shows and he keeps delivering a stage play type show and not a television show. If this was on any other network, it would have been dropped so fast. My problem is that this man is not really investing in this show to make it better. Instead of him broadening the characters, hiring better comedy writers, and a decent director; he goes and hires more actors and extras, builds tacky sets (that mall set is HORRIBLE! What mall do you know has ONE corner and a plant?).

I made the mistake of watching one of his Madea movies and haven't indulged in his material since. All I got from the movie was a rehashing of old assed stereotypes which unfortunately reinforces many negative perceptions currently being held by "pointy-hood" types.....

Denyce is very nice 2 look at, but she can't act.

Now, I do agree about Meet the Browns. It's utter BS.

There's the answer.

Does Denyce wear outfits like those on the show?
• Did you first think Prince was gay? •

Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman. Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian.

No. If she did, it would cover up her horrible acting.

I don't think that most shows are garbage. Forgettable....yes, but all of them aren't garbage. A LOT ARE though.
