This program is the biggest fail. Very bad acting and nothing that is funny or remotely resembles entertaining. Epic Fail

House of Payne is an enjoyable show with all different types of Character personality's. I can relate to a lot of the story lines on the show, and it offers realistic situations. Despite these good things, in the few final season the writing was a little off, and I found Myself irritated with nearly every Character. The show should have ended after it's 6th season with a final episode that would have satisfied viewers, this was supposed to be a family comedy, not a soap opera! There really isn't much to say about the show, it is not terrible like everyone makes it out to be though I can tell You that, but it does have it's weak points like every show. When it first came on it started slow but picked up the pace, it's strong point was the middle seasons, but by the end it was just like the beginning, weak. With all of that being said I would recommend this show to anybody who is looking for entertainment or a good laugh.

I wasn't surprise by the low rating given by IMDb, its predominantly black show. 85% of the time, most of the predominantly black shows are given ridiculous low ratings.First off, i will like to say how much i dislike people that watch one episode, and decide to write a review. Seriously, why are you typing up a review? You only watching one episode? Be real, its like how i get annoyed at people that make stupid reviews about shows that are mostly for kids.Anyway, in my opinion, its a good show. The acting is good, nice chemistry between them all. I also love the drama, it at times can be very sad, but very realistic. Such as, Jenean. She played her character great. Her acting as a crack addicted wife and mother was really award worthy. Simply because it was realistic. In the real world, thats how most crack addicted women and men act. They are very emotional at times, aggravated, try to get help but ditch, and steal from their family. I commend Tyler on that area of the show. The actor that plays Cj also plays his role very well. He and the actress that plays Janean have great chemistry. The emotion he gives out when he is angry is very realistic, in my opinion. Even when Jenean got better, the way it all played out was very good. Cj still being angry at her, Malik having some resentment on her returning, mostly because of the teasing of his schoolmates and all. Curtis gives great comedy release, he is a very good actor, very likable at times. And Ella is also a very good actress, she plays her role very well, have to love her. Now, i wouldn't say that it is as funny as Meet the Browns, because it isn't. But it is a very great show. Though it did fell off in some areas, mostly after Jeneane and Cj moved and then came back. Seriosuly though, don't decide to not watch the show because of the asinine reviews of those who rarely watch the show except for one episode. If you watch it from the start, you will grow to like it as I.

Whenever I watch this show, I'm in my house in actual Pain. Heck when any TV in my house is tuned on this show, the foundation is in severe pain moaning from the jokes and the humor carried through the power surges. Anyway we get this show where we have this family who lives in a suburban neighborhood in Atlanta,Ga. Where in Atalnta? they don't say, any who they are existent of three generations, The fist generation consists of Curtis Payne, "the man of the house" a morbidly obese black man who runs a fire station though he looks like he ate most of it. Then we have Ella Payne, the female of the household who waddles like the penguins black sister from Batman Returns and speaks with a very bad lisp. Then we have Gen.2 Which starts with C.J. Pain ( originally the son in the first test of this show, but since it was dark, they gave us this lighter version which is still bad) where he is the nephew who gets angry. Then we have the wife Genine who looks old enough to be his daughter. Then Calvin, the son of the first Gen. Then you have gen 3 Who consists of Malik, a fat bastard, Jasmine the little girl and two babies no one cares about. Anyway this show is horrible, the jokes are awful, the dialog is mind numbingly painful and the stories are so far fetched that they just give black buffoonery a whole new name and as a 20 year old black man, it pisses me off. The jokes are horrible, for example one joke goes " You so poor you thought a quarterback was a refund" wow that's original you gotta be kidding me I heard this joke when I was three, so whenever he wants to do a comedy sketch, give him the cane. Thinking of such, the plots are predictable and so melodramatic it takes sit to a whole other level called the sit yo butt down and rewrite this mess com. As usual the show starts with some character development (though that does nothing since the character suck butt) Then out of the bloom the buffoonery starts. Someone's either pregnant, on drugs, fighting their parents or someone is cheating with some ugly baby mama, daddy or assumes this.It just gets worse & worse. Next we either have some over the top drama where Malik will fight C.J ( his father) then get scared if he hits him, what a douche. Then Jasmine is nosy and man they need to lay her out with a belt because she is so annoying. Then Genine... in the first version, she was a witch you wanted to slap to the ground cause she stepped on all the wrong toes being a smart ass who picked fights, and in this version she does nothing, absolutely nothing what a shame. Then there's Calvin the womanizer who get with women for booty, then he marries Rudy the hooker and we are tormented by his bad acting, my god the horror. Then comes Ella and her prune looking best friend Urethra, yes she is named Pee as they talk about things we don't care about watching Ella wattle to the door saying Shabbily is very disturbing. Then finally the buffoon of the clan Curtis is a loud mouth whinnying buffoon who yells at thing, slap kids and runs around the house like Forrest Gump with a stick in his butt and this is why people think black people act like this and trust me,this is far from the truth. Do yourself a favor don't watch and if you watch, write Perry a letter telling him to give up or shut up.
