If you're a bit frazzled with all of the hustle and bustle of the Yuletide season, new DVD packages from the brilliant mind also known as Tyler Perry may be the perfect stocking stuffers.The gift of family, laughter and love can be found on the recently released box set 'Tyler Perry: The Plays,' which features seven of his wildly popular Chit'lin Circuit stage plays.
If you didn't know that the original source material for his box-office shattering films 'Madea's Family Reunion,' 'Why Did I Get Married?' and 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman,' were plays of the same names, then go in for a history lesson with the uproarious endeavors, which reportedly netted more than $150 million since 1998.
In addition to the mainstream-appealing plots of the aforementioned shows, others include 'Madea's Class Reunion,' 'Madea Goes to Jail,' I' Can Do Bad All By Myself' and 'Meet the Browns.'
These plays represent Perry at his rawest – way before Oprah Winfrey and Lionsgate films crossed him over in pop culture. And the DVDs are in one collectable package that is a must-have for all Tyler Perry fans.
And if that's not enough Tyler Perry for you, the first season of his hit sitcom, 'House of Payne,' is also available on DVD. The series, which focuses on a working class family forced to coexist under one roof, officially premiered on TBS last summer and became the highest-rated ad-supported cable sitcom telecast of all time.The DVD package includes 20 episodes of "the little series that could" as well as the bonus featurette 'The House That Tyler Perry Built.'

It's negative people like Teresa that brings everything down. If it's such a pain to watch do us all a favor and don't. Tyler Perry is a great entertainer and you should be proud to have someone in out culture doing so well.

I never thought that Tyler Perry plays were considered "Chit'lin Circuit" comedy. I understood Chit'lin Circuit entainment to be before blacks were allowed on the so-call "white Man" stage, but if I am misinformed please someone correct me. Tyler Perry stage plays and movies are lessons that everyday America can learn from. I love all his work and I hope that he keeps it coming.
