Talk:Tyler Perry House of Payne

"terrible critical reception"
maybe somebody should add a section about the critical reception the show has received since it first debuted on tbs. despite decent ratings from viewing demographics, it has received an almost overwhelming amount of negative reaction from professional critics. here's an article in which some of them lambast it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19355841/ and im sure that's not the only article which supports my claim that it's been ravaged. i just did a quick google search to find an article so that i could have at least something to back up my claim on here. oh, here's one more real quick: http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/reviews/2007-06-05-house-of-payne_N.htm. 76.118.71.19 (talk) 08:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

"Cancellation"
For those citing cancellation, please cite a source before posting such. --Mhking 01:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC) It's not being cancelled... there are still new episodes coming out.71.51.245.201 (talk) 21:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

"Debut"?
The article says "When the series debuts on TBS in June 2007" and even TBS advertises it as a new show premiering in June 2007, but if the show started (on TBS no less) in 2006, how is it debuting in June 2007? --Jermdeeks 23:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

The show was in limited first run sydication. TBS is national and a the show will premier to all of America so they are promoting it as a new show Alucard 16 20:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Limited first run syndication? All words I don't really understand... I watched it last year on TBS, wasn't it national then? Is TBS national? --Jermdeeks 22:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)


 * House of Payne wasn't on the national feed of TBS last year because I didn't see it. To you live in the area that gets the local station WTBS (local version of TBS) instead? Since you live in Canada I am assuming that you in fact do receive WTBS. The local version is for the Atlanta market here in the USA basically airs the national TBS schedule but there is some occasions that WTBS airs different programming than the national feed. Also WTBS uses the same graphics/design as TBS so it is commonly referred to as TBS or TBS 17. I live in West Virginia and I have the national feed of TBS and the show was not on the national feed last year (I watch the channel a lot) :) I hope this helped.

My guess is that the whole section discussing a test run is completely false. A bad article a bout a bad show.


 * That's nice. Sign your comments and leave random opinions on a blog/forum/ect. Talk pages are for discussing improvements to the article.  A limited first run syndication is essentially a series of Television pilots.  Sabar Cont 22:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

"Cosby Show????"
Allen payne did star on the Cosby show, however he was on the spin-off "A Different World"

Actually, Allen Payne did not star on The Cosby Show. You're referring to Carl Anthony Payne II who was cast as Cochroach, Theo's best friend. 71.199.173.157 00:21, 20 August 2007 (UTC)VDI
 * Allen Payne was on TCS. He was Lance. Look here : http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005300/filmoseries#tt0086687 . In the last seasons when Pam moved, Allen came with Charmaine to visit Pam and try to get her to go to the Bronx for a party.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.108.81.199 (talk) 19:20, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Awful
This show is just awful. I watched two episodes and didn't laugh once. The attempt at a plot was predictable yet the characters remained ridiculously ignorant - this show really needs to be pulled off the air. -Mike P.


 * Wikipedia, is not the place for remarks like the show is good or bad. Please talk about the show in a blog or a fourm. Alucard 16 01:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd actually like to see some evidence that this is one of the highest rated shows on cable tv. If no sources are produced then that should be removed. -Jag7211
 * No, actually, TBS is stating this is THE highest rated cable sitcom of all time! I mean, WTF are they smoking?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.38.199 (talk) 05:17, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

 * This is a great show. Melbrooksfan101 talk 02:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Any way we can get the show's apalling homophobia into the article. I don't consider bashing homosexuals funny. The show proves to be homophobic whenever the subject of homosexuality is brought up. Where to start? CJ's acting as if someone thinking he's gay is the worst thing in the world when his girlfriend's friend asked him if he was, Calvin's calling him gay because he rides a pink and purple bycicle as if a gay male would do this, Curtis' thinking Malik is gay after seeing him in a tutu and starting to pray for him and acting like it's the worst thing in the world, etc. Just a few of the vicious shots it has taken at homosexuals. What a nasty thing of TBS to do to keep this show on the air BicMacDad18 (talk) 01:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I think that this show should go on, and on, and on, and on!!! It the most hilarious show I have ever watched in my life! I just wish that I could meet the cast of the show. I am so overwhelmed by the topics of every show that I have seen. Everyone in this world should be watching this show EVERY Wednesday. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.11.118.179 (talk) 03:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
