In today's Tyler Perry news, the persevering black movie maverick has managed to ink a deal with television syndication company Debmar-Mercury to broadcast syndicate his TBS comedy series 'Meet the Browns.'
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Lionsgate owned company has cleared the sitcom in more than 70% of the U.S. for a September debut through cash-plus-barter deals with several major station groups, including Fox, Tribune, and CBS.
Not bad, considering the hit show is ranked number one amongst TBS viewers aged.
"As we proved with 'House of Payne,' viewers are hungry for fresh episodes of quality sitcoms in syndication, and as the fast pace of clearances indicates, stations know they can depend on Tyler Perry to deliver them," said Debmar-Mercury co-president Ira Bernstein.
Due to Debmar-Mercury's current business model, the syndication launch of 'Meet the Browns' is slated to happen 15 months following its premiere on TBS.

'House of Payne' is a quality sitcom???!!! Are you friggin' kidding? I've only seen a couple of episodes of that show (that was more than enough) and I thought it was absolutely idiotic! There are a lot of t.v. shows,both past and present, that suck, but 'House of Payne' would have to be at least in the top 20! I just hope this 'Meet the Browns' series is better than the movie. That was horrible,too.

I can see there are some Tyler Perry HATERS on here. Both House of Payne and Meet the Browns are some good sitcoms. They are CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!! And suitable for ALL ages....

To Monie: I don't 'hate' Tyler Perry or anyone else. (That's an incredibly over-used expression by the way.) I have seen some episodes of 'House of Payne' and 'Meet the Browns' (Which is a movie, not a sitcom.) and I just didn't think either of them were very good. While I can appreciate a t.v. show or film being 'clean'(however you're defining that) that doesn't make it well made.

I think both the Tyler Perry House of Payne and Meet The Browns were horrible, everytime it comes on TBS I change it, don't get me wrong I gave it multiple chances but its just a horrible show with old jokes. Everybody Hates Chris, now that is a great show! So upset its over. Truly a brilliant show with talented actors.
