*It’s here, Tyler Perry’s newest movie production, “Madea’s Big Happy Family.” In the midst of all the excitement, it looks like the playwright and cross-dressing actor is preparing to launch a new show, “For Better or for Worse.”
The new production will premiere on TBS and is based on the characters of couples flick “Why Did I Get Married?”
Sources reveal that the show will likely follow a group of college best friends as they deal with life’s issues: Carl and Leslie, a beautiful, happily married couple who want their friends to be as happy as they are; Brian, a TV sportscaster who has a volatile yet comedic relationship with his wife, Michelle, a hair salon owner; and Janice, a therapist married to a sharp, ambitious lawyer, Jordan, who’s trying to keep his secrets secret.
According to reports, Miss USA 2008, Crystle Stewart has already booked a part in the series, but it’s not known which part she will play
In the meantime, for those of you who thought Madea was going to disappear for a while, Perry said she’s here to stay and ain’t retiring any time soon. Sorry Spike.
“As long as people want to see it, I’ll keep going. I’ll keep doing it,” Tyler said Wednesday on “Conan.” “If people stop coming to see the character, what will happen is that old broad will die really quickly.”
He also lamented about his methods of branding, saying he may have gone overboard.
“People forget that Walt Disney was a person. His name was above the title and it’s a great example. When you’re branding yourself and building a business [you] use your name. I think I just did it a little bit too much,” Tyler said.
Watch Tyler spill the beans on “Conan”:
I hope The characters in the new show are fully developed and do not conform to the typical stereotypes. I do not particularly care for House of Payne and Meet the Browns beacuse of this reason. I will give the new show a chance if Tyler upgrades the characters.
babycakes > > I feel the same way. Show some growth and stop stretching these annoying characters from House of Pain and Meet the Browns unto another series.
“Janice, a therapist married to a sharp, ambitious lawyer, Jordan, who’s trying to keep his secrets secret.”
As usual… The most prominent and successful black man in the show has to be fucked up… Either he is going to be an under cover gay man that cheats on his wife with another man…or he is going to have three or four white chicks on the side and treats his wife like shit…while his loving black woman is left feeling betrayed, empty, and unwanted by the man she devotes her life to.(rolling my eyes…. Do something different for a change…
Wow, just what we need….more poorly acted, predictable, simplistically written and stereotypical material from the king of the aforementioned. TBS needs to give it rest and find some other black producers who have quality material bring to viewers. I think The House of Payne and Meet The Browns are more than enough of Tyler Perry’s material!!
