2/9: The magic of Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne”
By Rodney Ho | Saturday, February 9, 2008, 03:30 PM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

One thing I learned Saturday about Tyler Perry at a special panel for TBS’s “House of Payne:” his employees call him Mr. Perry, not Tyler.

That’s respect, which Mr. Perry has earned in spades.

On top of his plays and films, he has taped a whopping 100 episodes of “House of Payne” in less than a year. The show began airing last summer and the 100th episode is scheduled for August.

Most traditional sitcoms take more than four years to reach 100 episodes.

When they told folks in Hollywood their plans, “you can imagine folks just laughed. ‘No way! You guys are crazy!’ ” said Roger Bobb, supervising producer. “Now some of those same people are asking me for jobs.”

He and a few players for “Payne” dispensed advise to more than 120 members of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at Grand Hyatt in Buckhead.

“The thing is, we don’t have to answer to a network,” said head writer Kellie Griffin. “We answer to one person: Mr. Perry. He has total creative control of the show.”

It’s a tough grind of an environment where scripts have to be written quickly and shows produced in a day (as opposed to a week.). “Payne” started with 11 writers last year and only seven made it to the end.

One person asked Roger Bobb if Perry plans to tape before a live audience, but Bobb said the way they tape the shows isn’t conducive to do so. “Our schedule changes so often and we don’t do one run through,” Bobb said. He later told me that he didn’t think the 100 shows suffered creatively by doing them in such a condensed time period but there were some technical compromises and he would have preferred live audiences if that had been possible. But he was still happy with the final product and says the show improved over time.

And Perry, who directed all 100 episodes of “Payne,” never stops. He’s already filmed 10 pilot episodes of a sitcom version of his upcoming film “Meet the Browns.” He’s also tested out a talk show and is considering an animated series as well.

Finally, he’s moving from his Kroq Street studios to a new much bigger 30-acre space near Greenbriar Mall dubbed Tyler Perry Studios. Bobb said they plan to build five soundstages, a 400-seat screening theater and backlot. It is set to open near the end of this year. “This is Atlanta’s Universal Studios,” he promied and might even have public tours, basically a new tourist spot.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

what's the advantage of filming that many episodes so quick? just to get to syndication as fast as possible?

they're outright admitting that quality was the least of their concern - they basically created a sweatshop assembly line to crank out as many sub-par episodes as possible just to get to 100.

and how do you make 10 pilots of one show? is that typical?

this dude has money and influence now. he seriously needs to take some time off, study film, spend some time with people other than ghetto black church-goers, and come back and make a real movie.

and, no, all of his stories don't involve what you describe. that's why people defend him and his fans are fiercely loyal, because jackasses purposely spread misinformation about his work.

i didn't say shit about his audience. although i'll say it now - anyone who watches and enjoys Tyler Perry's work is a hot, ghetto mess.

it's just painfully obvious he needs to broaden his horizons and surround himself with people outside his usual comfort level. like everyone else has said, there's no denying his work ethic. i just wish he had a better prism with which to focus all that energy.

i'm not rooting against him - unlike you, i want him to *improve*.

I believe this is akin to what was done with the first "House Of Payne" series when it debuted in the summer of 2006. The series was ten episodes long. They ran in limited syndication in a few markets (in NYC, it was shown Monday-Friday at 11pm on the former UPN station).

I think it was a great idea to do this before it's national run because they were able to get feedback/response for retooling. For example, Allen Payne played the son on the first series. I think that his role was changed to the nephew because of the feedback they got. Since the uncle's (his former father's) name is still Curtis, the name CJ still doesn't make any sense.

113. "Not like a scripted show."
In response to Reply # 110


          

Talks shows and scripted shows are two different animals. Leno's writers have to write a monologue, maybe prepare some "off-the-cuff" jokes for the guests, and some sketches.

Writing a half-hour sit-com is MUCH different. It's basically apples and oranges (which is why I said you should go with soap operas instead since they write actual scripts).

In response to Reply # 113


          

have brand new shows every day. "scripted" or not, there are a number of writers that write something down to be used as dialogue during the show. and yes, ur soap opera analogy fits just as well.

You named four standard talk shows: Letterman, Leno, Conan, and Ellen. That's why the others jumped all over your comment.

that's kind of wack. And that applies to any show, just not Tyler's, that has the gall to use canned laughter in two thousand and fucking eight. I seriously thought we were finally moving past that shit.

kinda like it's done with an automated program but the algorithm is off a little bit.

there are stretches of complete audience silence punctuated by bursts of laughter in the wrong place.

it makes an already-awkward show that much more so

There are points in the show when I'd think there would be laughter but then there's just silence. It's like they save the laugh track for the uncle's put-down lines or "key phrases" as if he was a poorly-executed "Martin" character.

If Mr. Perry's name wasn't on this show people would be burning the network down to get that shit cancelled.

I like seeing black faces on TV as much as the next, but this is just not good.

The show is not funny, and TP is basically hustling the network. Get ya money player, but I refuse to big up his poor work.

the reason why he can produce so man shows i believe isbecause they write them shows like his stage plays. all of his movies are basically in the format of a stage play. and so just imagine, all his plays run about 2 1/2 hours maybe. break all those up and you got a bunch of episodes. i'd like for him to try to do a live action movie, it would be horrible. nigga watched too much color purple. i loved the plays but all these other things he doing aren't done in high class like the could or should be. He's basically the movie/tv version of Master P. Pumping out product that is so hit or miss but people want. lol

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA

have a backbone, bitches!

Half of you CUPCAKES make UNSUBSTANTIATED charges
and critques about PERRY...y'all use Tyler Perry to
make BROAD COMMENTARIES about the BAD TASTE OF BLACK
PEOPLE and that is why you are a bunch of HATERS and
not simply "people with opinions"..
...LOL....a nigga named O_E almost DOZED OFF
to Starksy and Hutch but NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS
would I knock that hustle NOR WOULD I EVER USE
THAT MOVIE to make a BROAD commentary on an entire
ETHNIC GROUP or its TASTE...y'all have scapegoated
Perry and made him proxy for what you don't like
about comedy...and some of you are just mad that you
aren't as funny or successful, but that is understandable..
....I'm just saying don't backtrack now.

You all DID and DO hate on Perry, as in ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

Just look at how TEPID y'all were about his last movie,
which did relatively well and was ACTUALLY fairly smart
and well-written....different tone than his other flicks...
...he has DIVERSITY AND INSIGHT which made you all upset
because it showed that Perry knew what the fuck he was
doing THE WHOLE TIME...y'all really wanted him to be a
big gold-toothed coon and not a thoughtful business man.

Tyler Perry is making this SHIT HAPPEN out here...
....be VERY MUTHAFUCKIN' MAAAAAADD

In response to Reply # 31


  

          

its funny to me that everything that black folks say that we wish we could do in Hollywood, Tyler Perry's doing it.

Why can't a black person own their own movie studio? Why can't black folks make movies, successful movies, outside of the Hollywood power structure? Why can't we produce and finance our own movies and not depend on a Hollywood studio to do it? Tyler Perry is doing all these things.

But, because he's not making the types of films so-called "educated" Negroes want to see, they choose to hate instead. I love Spike Lee to death, but he's gotta hope that Paramount or Universal or someone gives him the money to make his movies. Tyler Perry doesn't have to wait, and he doesn't even have to use their soundstages or backlots, he's building his own......

Well maybe it is for some people around hear, I can't say.

But personally I'm glad he's successful, and that whole thing, I just think his actual movies and show sucks. A lot.

Just like I think Uwe Bol is a terrible director, but I'm impressed at how he keeps getting the money to make movies, over and over, and somehow getting relatively big name actors to star in each one, even if the movie threatens to be worse than his last.

I didn't see the last Tyler Perry flick with Janet but hey, if that's the one that doesn't suck, I'll give it a shot. Cause lord knows the rest of them do.

Sorry, just my opinion.

Stop trying to paint yourself like you are being
persecuted for merely having views. That has nothing
to do with it, and you know it, so stop the passive
agressiveness gayness.

You know what the issue is here, so man up and
deal with it.

Good for you.

Right, but does Uwe Bol represent the views of an ENTIRE
RACE?

That is the problem - y'all use Perry to SHIT ON
BLACK PEOPLE.

That is what is wrong.

That is where the dumbfuckery comes in.

Black people have no worse taste in films than
white people.

Like black people made '300' a mega success - LOL

>I didn't see the last Tyler Perry flick with Janet but hey, if

Dickhead,

there is nothing wrong with having an opinion.

Its how you TAKE THAT OPINION and STRETCH to make
BROAD and WRONG and RETARDED commentaries about the
the state of an entire GROUP <--that is where the
dumbassnessnesssnesss comes in.

If you don't feel it, you don't feel it.

Personally, I don't find most of Woody Allen's movies
funny.

I also:

a)Don't knock his hustle

b)Wouldn't use his bad movies(several of which were
successful) to knock JEWS or WHITES. I'd just humbly
say that I didn't feel it.

I'm not racist. Y'all are(even if you are black).


I'm right.

You're wrong.

58. "no worries, I'm not mad"
In response to Reply # 55


          

I just remember that you were the young cat that tries to act black (tries, I don't think you are black--you just found the courage to post the word nigga when earlier you used to use 'ninja) and slings around insults on anyone's opinion that you disagree with, meanwhile setting up a really weak argument that ALMOST ALWAYS uses the term 'strawmen' and/or mentions Tarantino, even if Tarantino has absolutely nothing to do with the subject, because he's one of the only even partially celebrated indy film director that you can ever think of.

So don't worry, seriously, I'm not mad. I just think your opinion is totally worthless.

Trying to come across calm does not mean you actually
are calm.

You're ticked.

And you haven't made an intelligent retort yet.

>I just remember that you were the young cat that tries to act

Lots whites and uncle toms think I'm not black, probably
because I'm intelligent. I'm
blacker, certainly smarter, and probably older than you
are.

I was trying to kick my usage of the term "nigga"
before, but in the recent times I've said "fuck it"
and now just let it fly.

So, yeah:

Shut yo ass up, nigga.

Oh yes - I used to bait all the time to have fun, because
PTP used to be overrun with a bunch of men without Y
chromosomes.

And I picked on Tarantino in part because no one could
ever correctly explain why it is, exactly, that they
liked his films("He's good because he IS...geez").

And it used to make people FUMING mad.

I remember one PTPer wrote me a nasty inbox talking
about I ruined 'Pulp Fiction' and that it was wrong
because that movie got them out of hard times and that
I shouldn't be so judgmental.

I actually have tried to tone it down since then,
but that doesn't mean I tone it down all the time.


And don't think that just because I hurl insults,
that means that I don't know what I'm saying, cuz
I do.


>So don't worry, seriously, I'm not mad. I just think your
>opinion is totally worthless.

Okay. Don't read my posts then. We'd both win:
I don't have to waste my time responding to you,
you can log off with more self esteem.

ha, seriously, you're like the annoying little kid that keeps screwing with people until they forget they're grown-ups and want to start fighting back in the same immature way. Like the grown-ass man that runs off to tell mom cause 'that little shit hit me!'

I mean I should've quit responding to your posts a while ago, but that nagging 'that stupid-ass kid' thought keeps compelling me to reply. I guess that's why I called you a jackass before (and I'm sticking to it.

As for the actual subject matter--I don't know what debate you're in, and you can say I'm backtracking or building strawmen or whatever, I just think that Tyler Perry makes bad films. Period. I don't care who loves them, I think the movies are bad. I don't think it says anything against black people that Tyler Perry's movies are bad. I don't think it says anything about the black people that like them, or black people in general. That would be silly.

If that's your debate, then save it for someone else.

Oh, and I still don't think you're black. Nor do you write intelligently.

forgive me for being so "sophisticated" that I prefer competently-made movies.

I'm sorry, but the simple fact of Tyler Perry being a black man with his own studio and own films/TV show means little to me considering the overall quality and content of his work. I don't handicap for skin color.

While I wouldn't exactly say I'd rather he wasn't doing anything at all (although I could have gone my whole life without having seen "Diary of a Mad Black Woman"), it's like someone said; he's the movie version of Master P. A highly successful factory of formulaic product of dubious quality.

And unlike the snark about "us" waiting for a "black Wes Anderson", I was pretty content with people like George Tillman myself. Tillman seemed able to direct/produce accessible, fairly unpretentious films about black people that didn't insult my intelligence and weren't so slovenly. I put him on a pedestal far, far above Perry.

And if Spike Lee wanted to turn out nothing but $6 mil pictures like Perry, he wouldn't have to "wait" for major-label money either (Lee financed "Bamboozled" himself, going so far as to shoot most of the picture on Mini DV). But, for some of the types of films Spike wants to make now, he needs real budgets, not the "nigger money" studios usually hand out for black films.

...and don't think Tyler Perry _doesn't_ have to wait on/answer to Lionsgate. It's not as if the dude owns a distribution company. Lionsgate is probably less prone to meddle than the larger studios, but they still have a say.

48. "George Tillman Produced "Barbershop". Which, if I'm not mistaken,"
In response to Reply # 45


  

          

outgrossed every TP film to date.

"Barbershop 2" as well. And one flop, "Beauty Shop".

He directed "Soul Food" and "Men of Honor", two decently performing flicks ("Barbershop" was really the first film of its kind to gross so much) and produced a popular TV series adapted from "Soul Food".

Neither "Barbershop" film is exactly ground-breaking excellence (and Barbershop 2 is a little inert as a comedy), but they're both better films than anything in the TP canon."Beauty Shop" is better produced and more coherent than a Tyler Perry picture, but it's also pretty stale and formulaic, so the only thing it really has to recommend over a Tyler Perry film is technicals.

I have yet to see "Men of Honor."

You started with a bad strawman, in an attempt
to make you and your innocent views seem
victimized by the rapid Perry-loving niggers
in PTP.

Stop it.



>I'm sorry, but the simple fact of Tyler Perry being a black

Another strawman. That is two dumbass strawmen in a row.

No one handicaps for skin color alone. Same way no real
nigga would vote for Alan Keyes if he ran for president versus
Hilary Clinton.

Same way a lot of dumbass movies made by black filmmakers
don't get seen.

Because contrary to popular belief, black people don't
have worse movie going tastes than white people.

>While I wouldn't exactly say I'd rather he wasn't doing

>successful factory of formulaic product of dubious quality.

Interesting, because you can say the same thing
for Quentin Tarantino - offbeat, nostalgic, rambling
ass movies that are often about the language and
decor and not the story.

I find none of Tarantino's recent films to be any
better than Perry's, and Perry's last effort was
20,00X better made and more interesting than
Tarantino's.

Of course, all you'll do is cop pleas about how "how
can you compare them???" That is, of course, because
the decorated artsy fartsy filmmaker is the one
who is sucking...you niggas would have no problem
comparing 'I'm Bout it' to 'Heat' if it meant
shitting on the black film.

So basically - Using a formula to be successful
isn't relegated to Perry, or to black films.

Hell, I'm not sure Reece Witherspoon has been in
an original movie her entire career.


>And unlike the snark about "us" waiting for a "black Wes

Well good for you.

And I(and others) put me on a pedestal above you.

Luckily, this post is not about George Tillman,
or about Orbit_Established, so please, shut the
fuck up, because you're not, at all, insightful
or intelligent.

>And if Spike Lee wanted to turn out nothing but $6 mil

Read that paragraph again. It doesn't make a grain
of motherfucking sense. Not a grain.

Because Spike Lee has nothing to do with Tyler Perry, or
Perry's success, just like Jack Black has shit to do
with Daniel Day Lewis, or just like Uwe Bol has shit to
do with Martin Scorcese.



>...and don't think Tyler Perry _doesn't_ have to wait

Right, and at the end of the day, we all have to answer
to president Obama.

I mean, is that supposed to diminish how we talk
about his success?

You be inventing dumbass reasons to hate.

I mean, you over here like:

"Fuck Tyler Perry...you know...one day a Comet is
going to strike the earth, ending human civilization,
so that nigga's time on top is temporary."


What a bunch of hoecakes y'all are.


Lol

better than Tarintino's.

My "strawman" arguments were based on points in KCPlayer's response as was my mention of Spike Lee.

You and Bagalisa or whatever his name is just get kicks out of being contrary and inflammatory. I'm not about to get into a back and forth argument with you; you wanna wave your Tyler Perry flag high in the air, by all means do it. But I'll drink muddy water before I'll praise him for his current body of film/TV work, and none of your putdowns, name-calling, and uncivil responses will make me think, feel, or do otherwise.

everything Black shouldn't have to be directed towards bougie mofos. I'm a bougie intellectual but i certainly cannot hate on what Tyler is doing. He's employing black actors, crew, staff, caterers...he's creating power and avenues for other black filmmakers, writers, actors to get a shot that normally wouldn't...he's giving back to our community in ways i can only dream of. I admire him very very much and would love to work for him.

opinions about the quality of his work are just that; opinions. but sadly, most of the ones i see on this site are firmly planted in classism.

Exactly. It's one thing to not like his work but you can smell the arrogance, the "well I NEVER" attitudes when some of these cats dis his films. Some of the attacks posted on this site in the past went beyond the material.

No, its hate when you summarize Tyler Perry in that
oversimplistic dumbfuck of a way.

And Hollywood comedies IN GENERAL be formulaic - don't
see why Perry is any worse than anyone else for using
a formula.

Not to mention his last movie which actually went
into some relationship intricasies....I got white
professor colleagues who saw and dug it...and one
is a goddamn therapist.

"And Hollywood comedies IN GENERAL be formulaic - don't

Most Hollywood films suck. Tyler Perry has figured out a way to make films that people want to see and make himself a brand name. He was able to go straight to syndication with his TV show. Most people in Hollywood would love to be in Perry's position right now and honestly, you don't get there by making art films.

To me the true judgement should be based on how he helps out other black directors/actors. If TP does that, then he could have been making Meet The Spartans and Epic Movie and it would be worth it.

and l-the fuck-ol at perry's last film showing an intricate relationship. damn if you consider that deep, or intricate then i can see why you are entertained with juvenile level relationships, fart jokes, and a happy ending in church.



its good to see that black cinema is on the cusp of being taken seriously

100 episodes in a year? what the fuck is the point? seriously.

One of the episodes is just a white text on a black screen that says "Fuck you, we paid!"

So TP makes more money as opposed to having a studio own the show.

Perry is basically doing what studios often do: sacrifice some quality for a better bottom line. No matter what you think of Perry as an artist, he's one of the best businessmen in Hollywood right now.

There are lots of shitty shows on television, but on most of them, the people are at least trying to make something good.

Is the reason that Dick Wolf keeps popping out Law & Order spinoffs because of the art? Are the "Ripped from the Headlines" shows actually Found Art?

Does Gary Sinise really think reciting stupid one-liners and scientific mumbo-jumbo would be a real stretch for the craft of acting?

How many actors/directors/producers sign on to a project just to get a paycheck?

Tyler Perry is making the shows/movies he wants the way he wants. Just because you don't like the films/shows doesn't mean that TP doesn't think they are good. Could they be better if he only wrote 30 episodes? Probably (but most people here would probably still hate them). But then he'd have to sell rights to the network and make a small portion of what he's making now.

As has been said a million times: It's called Show BUSINESS.

I have no interest in seeing Tyler Perry's work, I think the ads for House of Payne look beyond stupid, but I'm not going to sit here and say that the man is somehow wrong for working the system and making the projects that he wants while making a ton of money (and possibly now opening his own studio).

Yo, this is the second time you've taken the words out of my mouth. These cats on here criticizing are small thinkers, only here and now thinkers. Who's to say once Perry's studio blows up he won't hire more "competent" black writers, directors, etc....to make the kind of films even these snobs can appreciate. That hate is gonna slap them in the face.

fuck outta here. You in denial like a bitch. I'm glad black actors/writers are working. That's great. I just wish we'd have something better than House of Payne. That said, hollywood is on some copy and paste shit sometimes, especially with black tv/film. We'll see; I hope your denying ass is right though.

I don't ever wanna see you on these boards criticizing shit. Not sports, tv, film, not shit. Your bitch ass is getting bent out of shape cause some folks don't like Perry. Who the fuck cares. Get over it. House of Payne is some shit and you know it. I personally criticize anything I don't like, hence part of the purpose of these boards you emotional bitch. Second of all, I'm not criticizing perry for being low brow. I laugh at a lot of shit that's supposedly dumb humor. "Payne" isn't funny. Period. Not dumb, it is just unfunny. One of the worst shows I've seen. And that ain't on some self-hate. My favorite show of alltime is Martin. Payne is some wack shit. I'll say it again though since you seemed to skip over the props I gave to Perry. I applaud the fact that he's putting some of us to work. Why'd I get married was cool. That's all.

In response to Reply # 99


          

The post that started this mini-thread compared Perry to the Blue Collar Comedy guys but I couldn't find a single post about Larry the Cable Guy's upcoming piece of shit "Witless Protection".

While people hate on Mencia, nobody worries that Carlos's success is going to make every Latino actor become Mencia-like. Meet the Spartans gets mocked but nobody is going crazy about how it is lowering the bar for comedy (and nobody has pointed out Superhero Movie yet, to my knowledge).

The problem isn't disliking Tyler Perry. It's acting like his success is the end of the world or somehow is going to bring down black cinema. And like his work or not, there's simply no way not to be unbelievably impressed at the empire he's built.

lol. If you can't tell the title was in jest then I'm sorry. It's just the same argument made in his defense everytime someone criticizes his work. We know he makes money, and that's great. We're talking about the lack in quality in his tv show, which was the subject of the original post.

I'm not latino. Why would I care? As a black dude I would like to watch shows with some shit that related to me but that are of quality as well. Is that really wrong? I guess so. Furthermore, your epic movie argument is silly. No one backs the makers of that movie saying "he making that dough though" - or "y'all epic movie haters gonna be mad with this news". If those posts popped up you would see the same cast of characters in here in there.

Hyperbole. No one said all that so relax. Some folks just worry that because of it's success producers may want their own version of house of payne. It's been done before, not far fetched at all. And I've said this for the fourth time - I am happy that black folks are working, and I liked why'd I get married. But this post was about this tv show, and it is some shit.

It might be an overstatement but it IS the argument being made, even by you. People bash Perry for not making art when 99% of television is pure garbage. They act like he's lowering the bar on a medium that basically buried the bar years ago. To be afraid that House of Payne is going to lead to more bad television is ridiculous. TELEVISION IS BAD. Hell, the first thing I was taught in college was: the purpose of television is to bring consumers to the advertisements.

To be afraid that the success of House of Payne might mean another black television show as opposed to another bad reality show or cop show seems off. Would you rather have another Law & Order so black people can get more work playing criminals or would you settle for another bad Perry-esque sit-com? And maybe Perry will be more open to creating new black shows so people don't have to rely on Kelsey Grammar and the CW anymore.

And look at the original post: it talks about them shooting 100 episodes, an approach that allowed Perry to have complete control over the show. It talks about him possibly opening a new studio in Atlanta, something that would help that economy. But how do people respond? "Boo. I don't like his movies.", "His success only means more bad TV", "It's not art!" I mean, people are even bringing up the fact that they use a laugh track.

So while you said: "We're talking about the lack in quality in his tv show, which was the subject of the original post."

That wasn't what the original post was about. You post anything about Perry and people assume it's about how his work sucks. To me the post was about Perry making moves.

After this post its just agree to disagree because we're going in circles.

>It might be an overstatement but it IS the argument being
>made, even by you. People bash Perry for not making art when
>99% of television is pure garbage.

First, I just said his show was bad probably the worst on tv to me. I'm a little more invested in black tv/film being a black guy in America. I would like to like our tv shows or film. If that's wrong then I am wrong. My boy, who plays fletcher on the wire (check his shit out http://www.myspace.com/livetruemusic), would love to get more opps on shows of the quality of the wire or in that realm, but it's hard. Now, would he accept a role on a perry show or film? He'd be dumb not to. But he'd prefer to be on a quality show or film. I feel him, and I'd prefer to watch quality black films/tv shows. Now when you make the argument about there being tons of wack shows on tv, you're right. But there are also a good grouping of quality shows (30 rock, the office, lost, the wire, etc.) and hardly any of them (outside of the wire of course) cast black folks. All I want is to see us get some shine on some good tlevision, and knowing how tv has operated, they may copy perry's style because it has proven to be quasi-successful although not funny. Again, I'm not asking that we have shows that mirror white television (as I've said before Martin is my favorite show of all time and is far from being a office or frasier) I just want to enjoy our programming.


>They act like he's lowering
>the bar on a medium that basically buried the bar years ago.
>To be afraid that House of Payne is going to lead to more bad
>television is ridiculous. TELEVISION IS BAD. Hell, the first
>thing I was taught in college was: the purpose of television
>is to bring consumers to the advertisements.

Again, your misquoting me. I don't care about the lowering of the bar on tv as whole. I know there are crappy shows on tv. But like I said above - there a good group of good to great shows and they are virtually all white. I'll ask again, am I wrong for wanting to see good quality black tv. I really like 30 rock, the office, etc. but I'd like to relate a little bit more to the subject matter. I don't see how that's wrong.

Why are those the alternatives? Why not something else. I want that other alternative.

Perry will be more open to creating new

I hope you're right. I would love to be wrong about the guy. We'll see.

People respond like that because this is ptp - we usually critique tv/films/books, etc. in here. Not to mention it was a bait post - KC implied by his subject title that somehow people are "haters" if they don't like his work. That's what I was responding to. That show is trash - but it is good that people are working. And I never said it's not art - I'm not that pretentious. I just said it's unfunny - painfully unfunny. My grandmom - 91 - who laughs at anything said that shit was trash.



>That wasn't what the original post was about. You post

>sucks. To me the post was about Perry making moves.

Again, KC implied that you were a hater if you didn't like the show and attempted to "piss the haters off" by posting the order for 100. Good for Perry, but me thinking the show is trash is just that. I don't hate the cat. Me being worried that his show may spawn another one that is similar is based in reality, we see it all the time.

Most of the complaints are about a large portion of the board, not you personally. Most of my post is about the general complaints.

- "If that's wrong then I am wrong. My boy, who plays fletcher on the wire (check his shit out http://www.myspace.com/livetruemusic), would love to get more opps on shows of the quality of the wire or in that realm, but it's hard. Now, would he accept a role on a perry show or film? He'd be dumb not to. But he'd prefer to be on a quality show or film. I feel him, and I'd prefer to watch quality black films/tv shows."

And again, there's about a handful of shows the quality of The Wire that are on television right now. Should Tyler Perry not make his TV show because some people think its terrible?

"Now when you make the argument about there being tons of wack shows on tv, you're right. But there are also a good grouping of quality shows (30 rock, the office, lost, the wire, etc.) and hardly any of them (outside of the wire of course) cast black folks. All I want is to see us get some shine on some good tlevision, and knowing how tv has operated, they may copy perry's style because it has proven to be quasi-successful although not funny. Again, I'm not asking that we have shows that mirror white television (as I've said before Martin is my favorite show of all time and is far from being a office or frasier) I just want to enjoy our programming."

The way that television works is that they don't think shows featuring black people will bring in ratings. That's the major issue here. While it would be great if in 2008 we could focus on quality, black writers/actors/directors still struggle to get their fair chance. So while you might not like Tyler Perry's show, if it is a success, then networks might be more inclined to move away from their all-white lineups. Hopefully one of those shows would be better quality or they'd turn to a better playwright as their brand name actor.

It just seems like with Tyler Perry everyone assumes the worst will come from it.

"Again, your misquoting me. I don't care about the lowering of the bar on tv as whole. I know there are crappy shows on tv. But like I said above - there a good group of good to great shows and they are virtually all white. I'll ask again, am I wrong for wanting to see good quality black tv. I really like 30 rock, the office, etc. but I'd like to relate a little bit more to the subject matter. I don't see how that's wrong."

It should be noted that three of the four great shows you mentioned don't get great ratings. In fact, 30 Rock was one of the worst rated shows on TV its first season.

There's nothing wrong with your thinking but the bottom line is that the odds of a network greenlighting a quality black series is slim-to-none right now. The quality white shows don't do very well and networks aren't going to make matters more difficult by casting non-whites in the lead.

>To be afraid that the success of House of Payne might mean
>another black television show as opposed to another bad
>reality show or cop show seems off. Would you rather have
>another Law & Order so black people can get more work playing
>criminals or would you settle for another bad Perry-esque
>sit-com? And maybe

"Why are those the alternatives? Why not something else. I want that other alternative."

Because those are the shows that are made. I'd like other alternatives too but the networks don't make them.

- "Again, KC implied that you were a hater if you didn't like the show and attempted to "piss the haters off" by posting the order for 100. Good for Perry, but me thinking the show is trash is just that. I don't hate the cat. Me being worried that his show may spawn another one that is similar is based in reality, we see it all the time."

It happens all the time. So why not let a black man be the beneficiary? It just seems to me that people will come up with all sorts of excuses (some rationale, others not) to bemoan Perry's success when he's doing what has been done for years. He's not making The Cosby Show, he's making Baywatch or VIP or the countless other garbage syndicated shows. I'm sorry but to see Perry's success and have your main thought be "Crap, this is going to inspire more bad sit-coms" just seems wrong.

Unedit. I never said black folks will have to be like him to make money. I said networks may try and copy perry's shit if it proves to be successful limiting quality work for black writers/actors. Why is this frame of thought so wrong? Serious question. Maybe I'm misinformed, but when hasn't television been on some copy and paste shit with programming based off success on other shows? I remember when survivor came on and I said the same shit about that - then we got amazing race, big brother and so on. And I can't stand those shits.

March to be big month for Tyler Perry

By Bob Longino | Friday, February 29, 2008, 07:46 AM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Just about every month something big is happening with Tyler Perry. But March will be more notable than usual.

This weekend the Atlanta entertainment mogul will begin production of his next big-screen comedy, “The Family That Preys Together” at Tyler Perry Studios and other Atlanta locations.

On March 11, Perry will be the cover image for Best Life magazine’s April issue. And on March 21, he will release the big-screen version of his comedy stage play “Meet the Browns” in theaters nationwide.

After production of “The Family That Preys Together” officially begins Sunday, Perry’s Family Productions on Monday will begin shooting scenes in a southeast Atlanta home. Residents in the area received notice of the filming earlier this week.

“Preys,” about two families, stars Oscar winner Kathy Bates, Oscar nominee Alfre Woodard, Sanaa Lathan, Taraji Henson and Rockmond Dunbar. Perry co-stars and directs.

The film is tentatively scheduled to debut in theaters in September.

In Best Life, Perry talks about his rise in the entertainment industry, from originally living in his car to running a $500 million enterprise.

Billboards are already up in Atlanta to promote “Meet the Browns,” which stars Angela Bassett, Irma P. Hall and Perry as Madea and Uncle Joe. Rated PG-13, it was filmed in Chicago and Atlanta.



Last Game:
Kansas 75, Iowa State 64
Record (25-3)
Ranking: AP #6, ESPN/USA Today #7
