I tried a couple of times to sit down and watch TPHP and couldn't get past the first commercial break. This is show depicts cooning at its finest. I am embarassed to see black people huff, shuck n' jive on national tv. The worst part is the jokes aren't funny at all and the storyline is unoriginal and not to mention the acting is a bit "iffy". I discourage any from watching this modern day black face comedy.

First of all, i don't understand why there's so many negative comments about this show. Tyler Perry has come up with so many great movies,plays and now tv show. My husband and I watch the show every week and we tape it so that my kids can watch it the next day. This is a show that gets people (and families) to discuss issues. The one with the young boy talking to someone on the internet and the trouble that came with that started a real discussion in our home with the kids who now understand why we watch over everything they do online. I think Tyler Perry is doing a great job and i'll continue to support his work! BTW.. from every show i've watched of House of Payne.. CJ and the kids live with his Uncle..not father ?! the boy in college is the son..just a little tidbit of info :O)

Not funny at all. Silly plots. Unrealistic and simply not funny

I mean, its not hysterical and yes the timing is a bit off---but all around I think that its a good show worth keeping. Yes, not every joke is going to have you rolling around on the floor-but its a tv show and what show has done over some of the same themes. I think what people can't understand is this is a TV SHOW not a play. Its not going to be drama and real deep every single episode. Sometimes its just something to make you chuckle and to have meaning without all of the vulgarity of other shows on tv today.

This is a great family show that we al needed.

Dear Mr. Perry Let me say this as a true fan!!!! This is your first sitcom, and I support a brother!!!! BUT YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!!!! For me the characters are to shallow!!!! The show is popcorny at best. In you films you really touched on the issue in the black community.!!! You need to find your innerself and do that again!!!! Black America needs another Cosby, an your it Bruh!!!! I'll keep you in prayer. We need you!! Sincerely Damon W. Bethel

I think House of Payne is a very good show for the whole family to enjoy. It is realistic and it shows that all families are not perfect. But at the same time it has alot of positive black male role models, which young blacks in our society need to see. I hope that the show continues. Tyler Perry keep up the good work.

The show is trying to be funny, but the punch lines just are not there. The uncle on the show really gets on my nerves.

Where do I begin? Poor writing, stale sets, insulting laugh track, low energy, sub-mediocre acting, uninteresting characters...all of it needs work. I admire his success elsewhere in the industry but Tyler Perry may consider getting some help with the writing, filming in front of a live audience to elevate the energy level and allowing his characters to become more fully realized by having them interact with non-principal characters.
