"Tyler Perry's House of Payne" is a comedy series about a multi-generational, working-class family who experience all of life's struggles with faith, love and humor. Atlanta firefighter Curtis "Pops" Payne thinks his home is his castle, but he needs a bigger moat around it. His nephew CJ and the kids invade his space for an extended stay, and his penniless son Calvin still visits regularly, mostly for mealtimes and laundry days. Luckily, Curtis has a loving wife who never gives up and keeps him from breaking down.

How [Perry] got the cabler to pony up for 100 episodes of such an uncharacteristically unfunny sitcom as House of Payne is worthy of a sitcom on its own. Go to Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today 06/06/2007
