Summer TV and Tyler Perry's 'House of Payne'

Well it's Official! "Summertime" is here!



Normally that means less time in front of the tube and more time out playing. But not so fast! The summer season sometimes holds some good premieres you might want to catch since they won't be competing with new runs of your favorite shows.

On Wednesday, June 6 at 9/8c check out Tyler Perry's House of Payne on TBS.
Tyler Perry, best known for his black works on the silver screen such as Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea's Family Reunion, will be taking a stab at TV this summer with this new black sitcom focusing on some good ole fashion black family growing 'paynes'.

Allen Payne will star in the show as a nephew with kids who moves in with his cranky uncle, Lavan Davis. And it is the bringing together of the various generations under one roof that will prove to be the source of comedy for this show. Completing the cast will be Cassi Davis, China Anne McClain, Larramie "Doc" Shaw and Lance Gross.

I'm actually looking forward to this show. With the exception of Everybody Hates Chris, it's been a while since we have had a good black family sitcom. Hopefully Perry will be able to generate the same level of success by way of laughter with this small screen production.
