Meet the Browns

I really enjoy watching this show. I don't know this has so many bad reviews but this show is pretty funny. I like that it has some lighthearted (sometimes corny) jokes. I enjoy watching this so, it's a stress reliever. If you like shows like Girlfriends, Home Improvement, or any other comedy family shows, then I don't see why you wouldn't like this one. And the family/cast is very cute and endearing. You really feel for the characters and their ups and downs. I also think the show is very comparable to real life in it's choice of events, and the main guy, Mr. Brown is really outstanding and out there in his humor, but it is all in good fun. Overall I would recommend it for people who like slapstick humor, and families, as this show is funny as well as family friendly.

The route of good comedy exist with creating characters who actions relate to their environment. Tyler Perry doesn't understand that. None of his characters are ever explained, we don't know why they are so stupid, why they act so crazy, or why they are completely nuts. Take Arrested Development, a real comedy, with incredibly inane, stupid, crazy plots, and even more psychotic characters. Watching it however, you can believe these people exist, because they're actions are exactly what they're characters would lead you to believe.

But we're supposed to believe that these blue collar, black folks, are stupid, moronic, inane, exaggerators of every small thing, and derive comedy from it. Family Matters was real comedy, it used it average intelligent people, acting sincerely, only to be drawn out through chaotic circumstances through the superior intelligence, but below average social person Steven Urkle. Brilliant comedy. Where is that dynamic. He doesn't seem to understand the straight man in a comedy routine duo. And their outrageous behavior is accepted as the norm. It doesn't make sense. It's pathetic. It's horrible. He really should stop writing.

First off, before making this comment I read around and understand that it seems as though this is a love it or hate it kind of thing. Apparently most people truly hate this show, whereas others ( a tiny few) seem to like it. That being said, I knew nothing of Tyler Perry's work until now, and the only reason I even heard of this show is because it would be spammed during the commercials for the NBA playoffs.

Honestly, the commercials alone were unbearable for me, however I gave it a shot, and honestly, with no bias whatsoever, this has got to be one of the worst works I have seen. Its apparent that its meant to be some sort of G to PG rated "whacky family" type of scenario, but oh GOD please, how are people so ignorant. I wonder, before such works are made, or written, do the people involved actually wonder, hmm, would I really rather spend my time watching this than doing anything else? The answer is no. Anyone who even gives this show like a 10 or something is completely mad, there is nothing funny about it, its just some stupid attempts at humor, and the only funny thing is when people take this comedy into another light and claim it has purpose or has some sort of literary quality to its writing.

It never fails to amaze us African Americans who are "down" find those who know nothing about being Black in America attempt to offer some antebellum spit at our culture.

This is exactly what the "perpetrating critic" beneath this soulful critc attempted poorly tried to do.

One of the gifts of being a person of color is that we know that there are many who perceive and prefer that we be invisible. We experience it each and every day.

So when the bloods and skirts read the back alley graffiti like the crayolo written beneath our feet below we know the "roose" is on.

Meet the Browns is smooth, down, carrying the energy that we have always delivered not because but in spite of haters like you.

You don't know how we're wired. We are descendants of a people who have faced jealous haters like you.

It's motivation for us. So keep the hate coming. When we look back at people who don't want us to have anything we realize that we've cross the finish line leaving you in the dust.

Why?? Because when we have to train and clear more hurdles in training, we are better then our opponents, who are just what we called in the marine corps basic training "lice sand flies." The more flies, the closer we are to taking the battle to the enemy.

Shout out to all those people who understand the power of inclusion, diversity and empowerment for ALL people.

If you have seen anything written or directed by Tyler Perry you should know just what to expect. The characters and humor in the show is lame, bland, and overall boring. The monotonous beat the show has will keep you thinking not about the show, but when it will actually end. It is just a non stop drag. Filled with Pathetic jokes and lame plots, Meet the Browns consists of mainly bland situations and not a speck of humor. Not to mention the awful sense of timing with the fake laughs leaving you wondering if your supposed to be laughing at all. It's a waste of time. The fact that the Season DVD's actually sell is shocking. Thus making this show a terrible experience. I would avoid this show to save yourself from a truly boring time.
