I’ve got good news and bad news, Tyler Perry fans. Here’s the bad news first: Perry’s sitcom House of Payne is being canceled. (Moment of silence.) The good news is, a new Perry-backed sitcom is headed to the small screen based on his hit domestic dramaramas Why Did I Get Married and Why Did I Get Married Too, with Michael Jai White and Tasha Smith reprising their roles. Which other Perry film properties should follow suit and live on in syndicated perpetuity on television?
Caveat: Both House of Payne and Perry’s other current series, Meet the Browns, are extensions of the Madea universe. But said universe has spawned countless side characters related and distantly related to Perry’s famous be-wigged, take no prisoners matriarch that any number of fictional folks from the TP empire could potentially spawn their own television comedy spin-offs. (With the exception of For Colored Girls, which would probably not make the best sitcom.)
May we suggest something along the lines of Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Perfect Strangers, in which Madea gets an unexpected long term house guest played by Bronson Pinchot (of the Eastern Mediterranean branch of the family)? Or Tyler Perry’s All in the Family, focusing on politically incorrect Uncle Joe, the Archie Bunker of the Perryverse?
