Poppa's House

Another ridiculous sitcom that apparently is not funny enough on its own. That is what the laugh track is for: to cue us when to laugh even though there is nothing really funny to laugh about other than someone put money into this waste of space. Much like The Upshaws! Stupid. Nothing original. Not even good acting. Anyone who thinks this show is worth the time are folks who have nothing going on in their lives and do not expect better coming from the creators of this space-taker-upper! Insipid! Meaning lacking flavor! I am 75 words shy of the requirement here so I am taking up space as well!!

Listen, this show took the place of one of my favorite shows. Bob and Abishola was one of the most diverse and talented casts on television. When I heard that Poppa's House would replace it, was not happy but I gave it a shot.

How is it possible for this show to be less funny than the Wayans Brothers show. Well, the older show had a better supporting cast and was better written.

Poppa's House felt like Damon and his son were just calling it in every episode. What a waste of talent. There was even a show about truth or dare. A full show just on that game. It was the laziest attempt at entertainment that I have ever witnessed.

I watched the whole season and left every episode disappointed. What a shame.

The banter is witty enough, the characters are typical flawed goofy people like most multi-cam sitcoms. However the producers need to tone down the laugh track. The punchlines are too fast and the writers need to let the joke rhythm breathe a little bit more. Still, after two episodes, I think this has a chance to get renewed. CBS is hurting for viewership and it's possible that this show gets enough views on Paramount plus to keep around for a few seasons. And the writing should tightening up a bit a long the way. If you watched My Wife and Kids, this is kind of similar in terms of comedic tone.

It's good to see Damon Sr on a show. He's aged well and is still funny as hell. I like his old-school character with morals and values. However, his son isn't funny and the voices he does are lame. He wasn't funny on New Girl..it just seems like he's trying WAY TOO HARD.... The laugh track is annoying. They should have JJ on there more so that Sr. Could have a rival...their interaction was funny. Essence's character should be more like DeeDee on Half and Half becuase snooty big DeeDee was funny. Essence's character comes off as a bit annoying and not funny. I'll still support the show. Hopefully, it gets better.

Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr are two of the absolute best in the business. The humor, the timing, they are great. The show needs room to grow though.

The women are unbearable. Why are women written so ridiculously unlikable these days? Seriously there's an audience for it or as usual the men are carrying the load and the women are along for the free ride?

Women used to be written to be supportive and funny and wise. Now they're just miserable shrews. Humorously if the men were written so poorly not a single show would survive. Yet you have father's and such with big hearts. The women are struggling to keep up. The ending redeemed the women some though so here's hoping.
