VIDEO: Tyler Perry: How Does He Do It All? | Today's News: Our Take | 9/24/2008
Tyler Perry began as a humble playwright, but thanks to his insane work ethic, seemingly never-ending creative inspiration and knowing people in the right places (Oprah!), he's catapulted himself to mega-producer in both film and television. Erin Fox sat down with Perry to discuss his writing process, his new movie The Family That Preys and why he wanted to tackle television with The House of Payne. He definitely left us wondering, does he ever sleep? read more 3 Comments
I have a sneaking suspicion ... | Matt Roush | 7/14/2008
Question: I have a sneaking suspicion that the jump into the future on Desperate Housewives will turn out to be very successful for the show, because it enables the writers to focus on a new "mystery arc" without bringing in a bunch of new characters we don't care about. I'd be willing to bet good money that one of the main stories of the upcoming season will be about why Susan and Mike are broken up, followed by their finding their way back to each other (which would mean Gale Harold's character will turn out to be a bad guy: Quelle surprise). Season 2 was widely seen as a failure, largely because what had been envisioned as the Big Storyline centered on people we'd never heard of and were given no time to develop an interest in. Dana Delany's story was more successful, but now Marc Cherry doesn't have to worry about finding a bunch of new characters. The five-year gap will probably be able to fuel the storylines for a couple of seasons, maybe even until the show ends... read more
Upfronts: TBS Feels More Payne, More Less | Today's News: Our Take | 5/14/2008
TBS' half of Turner's Wednesday upfronts presentation kicked off with renewal news for Tyler Perry's House of Payne (returning in June) and 10 Items or Less. The laugh-centric cabler then announced a development slate featuring:• National Banana Already in Progress, a late-night sketch show exec-produced by Jerry Zucker (Airplane!).• A scripted comedy produced by Def Jam's Russell Simmons and starring Run DMC's "Run."• A half-hour laffer exec-produced by and starring William H. Macy.• A late-night reality series which returns middle-aged men to their frat boy days. (And you thought all it took was a case of Pabst.)• An improv show exec-produced by Jamie Foxx.• Top Ten, which claims to "pit comedians against each other."Bookmark our FALL TV GRID | Review All of Our FALL TV NEWS read more

While watching reruns of ... | Matt Roush | 4/18/2008
Question: While watching reruns of Seinfeld on TBS, I caught a promo for Tyler Perry's House of Payne that called the show "the No. 1 comedy of all time." Obviously nothing is farther from the truth, and to run this commercial during, in my opinion, the actual No. 1 comedy of all time was even more insulting. What constitutues a valid promotion for a show? Are television stations allowed to say virtually whatever they want to attract an audience, no matter how false the information they present actually is? Answer: Who's going to sue them? Promos are all about hyperbole, and for all I know, TBS meant House of Payne was the No. 1 cable comedy, which might actually be true. (Its numbers are freakishly strong considering the appalling ineptitude of the show itself.) Networks often crunch their numbers selectively when making such outrageous claims in their promos. One network is No. 1 in total viewers, another is No. 1 in demos, and so on. It's all just so much... read more
