Poppa's House

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.

I watched all the episodes but I really didn't get into it until the seventh episode. I felt that the show has finally coming into its own. Damon Wayans and Junior do a fine believable job. The humor and writing is getting better as we get used to the characters and sitcom premise. I don't exactly where it is set. Maybe in New Jersey, Poppa worked on the radio in nearby New York City. The cast of characters are slowly coming into form as the season goes on. I enjoyed the Misery segment when Poppa has a nightmare about his co-podcaster in the niddle of the night. I felt the physical humor in the seventh episode added to the show.

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.

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.

Poppa's House is my current favorite tv show. My husband and I look forward to seeing the new episodes each week. Both Damon's crack us up laughing. They have a great father and son chemistry. I can feel their love and respect for each other radiate off the screen. I love that it's a simple, fun, and clean family movie. So glad it's not full of curse words, sex scenes, and drama. I have watched each past episode multiple times and laugh each time as if it was my first time watching. I think the whole cast is great. It's nice seeing Elvin from the Cosby show as Damon Jr father in law. Look forward to MORE episodes.
