  1. B Honest

    Never heard of this show probably wont watch and i can’t stand T-Pain.. yuck!

  2. Pretty as a...

    idk bout this tpain….

  3. Vee1

    I love Michael Strahan, but I’m not sure about this sitcom. Who is T-pain supposed to be? Lenny from Good Times. He already looks a hot mess, and this get up he got on adds insult to injury…good night!

  4. Dude-N-Htown

    ……well I was already on the fence about this tv show…but this just sealed the deal.
    ……why in the HELL is T-pain on this show.

    ……..T-Pain makes my bowels move..ughhhh. He is the epitome of foolishness

  5. Phoenix Wright

    Think I seen that dude in the chair (or wheelchair) on the game before….hmm T-pain probably would be good. He has some funny videos on youtube. He just has to remain that type of character.

  6. Plant in My Window

    Ummm…Ewwww! This show looks stoopid just from this picture. I don’t see an ounce of acting talent, originality or creativity in this group nothing but a good recipe for coonery. I am sure Obama hating republicans will enjoy the setback in black culture! I’ll pass!

  7. cedes

    Hot mess.
    The ugliest hot mess ive ever seen in my life.
    He look like a bear.
    Michael Strahan, and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, on the other hand look great.

    Good luck on the SHOW !

  8. Reecie

    Looks like some coon shit. Can’t believe they canncelled The Game a GREAT Black sitcom and now this crap is the only Black sitcom on netwoork televesion. A damn shame!

  9. Coffeebrown

    Not really a funny show. I wish WE could have a good show to watch (and not that House of Payne crap)!!!!

  10. Pretty as a...

    Will he break out in song at various points of the show?…in autotune? theme song will most likely be autotune…I can see a round up of popular guest artists, actors and models in a sorry attempt to make up for lack of comedic content…. I predict a fail. Him poppin and lockin in and out of scenes and sh*t….

  11. Been Prissy Since1908

    @1 u haven’t heard of the show 4 3 reasons:

    Reason 1: it’s an all AFRICAN AMERICAN and POSITIVE show they hardly EVER promote on FOX, The only reason i know about the show is b/c Michael Strahan was on The Wendy Williams promoting it.

    Reason 2: they gave them a crappy time Slot, Fridays @ 8…ummm HELLLLLO Friday is a night most ppl chose to go out and are hardly home.

    Reason 3: and this is being honest, its not a very interesting show…if it makes through 1 full season it will surprise me.

    So with that being said im sure if this is a good move 4 T-Pain.

    In order for FOX or any other Mainstream network u need 2 have useless African American shows like The Cleveland Show to get promotion…I’m not gonna lie Cleveland show is my joint :-)

  12. Pretty as a...

    yyyes! @ reecie! I miss The Game :(

    CoffeeBrown… Tell it! That show was annoying and the acting? No further comment…

  13. TJACK25

    Why do they insist on putting shows on a Friday night at 8pm??? I mean seriously who do they expect to watch it?

  14. brandi

    @12, I miss The Game too! I sure hope they can get another season.

    I haven’t watched this yet, but with T-Pain and Kim Kardashian on, I might have to pass.

    But The Cleveland Show is my junk.

  15. Kyla

    I’ve never heard of this show before .. wonder how long it will last.
    Michael Strahan really needs to close up that space, other than that he’s a cutie!
    And yeah I swear Daryl was that wheelchair guy from The Game? – still mad they cancelled the show, always watchin’ the re-runs on BET, it’s like the only show I watch on that channel.

    Hope it doesn’t bomb though .. funny or not.

    BEEN PRISSY SINCE1908,

    I agree that’s a horrible time slot they gave them, I want to watch it to see how it is but I don’t even think I’m going to be home tomorrow at 8 – I’m like never home on Fridays at 8 ..

  16. Pretty as a...

    ….and “teddy pinnedherass”….I’ma need you to stop thinkin you cute lookin like predator in a pimp hat and a chipmunk fur.

  17. lady_l

    this show is alright, i’ve watched it a couple of times. I miss the game. I like the Clevland show. I like meet the Browns better than House of Payne. I actually stopped watching House of Payne. It’s just not funny to me. the only funny character in the house of payne is the one who plays the father.

  18. Been Prissy Since1908

    @15

    C! u made my point right there lol

    @8 and 12

    I read some where BET was in the middle of negotitations to try and bring back the show, that’s y they’ve been showing the previous seasons of The Game religiously. The Game would have their 4th and furture seaons on BET, but that was months ago and I haven’t heard anything since, I’m not sure if thats still the case, but I sure hope it is!

  19. studylongstudywrong

    ….the first episode of this sitcom pulled in “less than dismal” ratings. I certainly don’t
    ….expect T-Pain’s apperance will make them any better.

    ….AND #16…DEAD ASS WRONG…LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

  20. FASHION MISFIT

    I SAW THIS SHOW AND I LOVED IT! IT IS VERY VERY VERY FUNNY!

    BLACK PEOPLE LETS SUPPORT THIS ONLY ALL BLACK CAST SHOW

    FRIDAY NIGHTS ON FOX 5. @ 9

  21. hahahhahaa

    Ummm looks like it’s gonna be similar to “Malcom & Eddie.” Did they even promote this show?

  22. hahahhahaa

    Friday’s at 8 aren’t bad time slots if the show is good. TGIF used to start @ 8 and everybody used to watch it. Kids will watch if it’s funny. They just have to promote it.

  23. GoToWar

    Ya’ll support this show, these brothers need income.

  24. Tealeaf

    Michael looking kind of cute, but Iam SO happy this is not one of those blogs with a big booty girl ad on it, so I have to hurry and scroll down(Y’all know what crappy blogs Iam talking about). Nice safe wallpaper and ads on this site..Thanks..

  25. jayrou08

    Isn’t the House of Payne a prime-time, all african american sitcom?

  26. FASHION MISFIT

    @6, 8, 4

    IT’S OBIVIOUS YOU DO NOT REALIZE HOW IGNORNAT YOU SOUND?

    #1, WHY WHEN IT’S ANYTHING BLACK, SOMEONE’S ALWAYS BRINGING OBAMA IN IT?!

    #2, IF YOU’VE NEVER WATCHED THE SHOW, HOW AND WHY WOULD YOU JUDGE IT?!

    #3, THAT’S WHY BLACK ACTORS IN HOLLYWOOD NEVER GET THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE AND NEED BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE SUCH AS YOURSELF. SOMEONE WHO IS SO QUICK TO JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER AND SHOW NO SUPPORT FOR THEIR EFFORTS.

    THIS IS A ALL BLACK CAST ON NATIONAL TV FOR THE FRIST TIME SINCE FOREVER! INSTEAD OF YOU TAKING THE TIME TO GIVE THE SHOW A CHANCE YOU DISPLAY YOUR IGNORANCE AND JUDGE A SITCOM BY A PICTURE? BLACK PEOPLE WILL REMAIN THE UNDERDOG IN THIS WHITE MANS WORLD BECAUSE OF COONS LIKE YOUSELF. I BET YOU WON’T GIVE WATCHING THE SOPRANO’S OR SEX IN THE CITY A SECOND THOUGHT BEFORE TUNING IN. SMDH

    BLACK PEOPLE WAAAAAAAAAAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. FASHION MISFIT

    @25 Isn’t the House of Payne a prime-time, all african american sitcom?

    ON CABLE. HUGE DIFFERENCE

  28. Furious Styles

    Why are these shows so BAD??????

    With T-Pain and Monique the Black race keeps going backwards.

    That BET Monique show is a Travesty.

    T-Pain as a “guest star” proves this show does not have much going on.

    ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.

  29. Chelly

    I LOVE this show! I’ve seen both episodes and will continue to support it.
    Mike & Daryl are looking nice but…..T Pain looks a hot fugly mess and is he getting FAT?!? Good lawd not a good look!! WTF is he wearing?

  30. sigh

    —I read the synopsis of this show in Essence Magazine, it seemed like a good story
    —line. I’ll check it out.

    —Lol at whoever said this show lacked “acting talent”, yet in the same breath praise
    —”The Game”. That bullshyt show didn’t have an ounce of talented actors, nor plots!
    —I see a bunch of disgruntled actors from the game up and thru this blog! Lmao

  31. FASHION MISFIT

    @28.

    Furious Styles

    I SO AGREE! I CHECKED OUT MO’NIQUE’S SHOW LAST NIGHT (WELL TRIED AT LEAST) AND GAGGED DURING THE FIRST 30 SECONDS. BET NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN, BLACK PEOPLE DON’T OWN OR RUN THIS CHANNEL AND IT’S OBVIOUS. WATCHED FOR ABOUT 2 MINTUES AND HAD TO TUNR THE CHANNEL.

  32. twinzee3

    he looks like a wet pimp rat!!

  33. LaShay

    House of Pain does not have an all African-American cast,there is a white actor and a latino actress who play fireman on the series.

  34. JACKTHERIPPER

    T-pain is cool.

  35. Kyla

    House of Payne is the driest show I have ever seen.
    I watch it when there is absolutely nothing else on TV and as many episodes as I’ve seen, I’ve only laughed 3 times.

    And for it to be a #1 show – like who’s watching it? It’s not funny at all and the uncle/dad is so unbelievably annoying. I really have no idea why I watch the show but I do.

    The whole drama with CJ, his kids, and their druggy mama was annoying. So surprised that it’s a “Tyler Perry show” because his movies are actually funny, I don’t know what went wrong.

    SO HOPEFULLY “Brothers” will be a much better show.

    ALSO, The Game does NOT have bad acting in it!
    Love that show, there’s a few episodes where no matter HOW many times I’ve watched it, I laugh just as hard as I did the first time. Even though I know the parts coming and wait for it I still find some episodes/lines so funny. The only ‘annoying/bad’ part about The Game was Melanie sometimes, she overreacted so many times when it came to Derwin that I wanted to slap her.

  36. Coffeebrown

    Just because a show consists of an all Black cast is NOT a good enough reason (to ME) to watch it. I will watch a show that is interesting, well thought-out and has some substance (which is why I usually find myself tuning in to the Discovery Channel or something with similar programming). These people hardly need OUR money – they are in Hollywood making it while we sit in our respective locations trying to get by.

    I too tried to watch the Mo’Nique show on BET and it was just too much. She is way over the top with all of the screaming and hollering and “ooh baby, sugar, honey-pie, crap”. She looks great with the weight loss I must say.

  37. Intrigue216

    Maybe I’m being too judgemental, but this is another stereotypical show to me. Two black men with no money staying at home with their parents, I just can’t get with this.

    #28, I agree. Mo’nique does nothing but scream through the whole show. That is so unnecessary.

  38. T-PAIN`S MANAGER

    This is T-Pain`s manager,please don`t go too hard on my boy,T-Pain. I was the one that advised him to start acting, One night T-Pain and myself, was at a strip club,we was both high off the Patron and I figured if Marlon Wayans can get acting jobs, anybody can act. I had just got done putting some dollar bills in this stripper`s thong when the idea came to me to get some acting gigs for T-Pain,in the meantime, look out for his new single called,Death of the 40 year old Rappers ! It`s straight firrrrrrrrrrre !

  39. Pretty as a...

    @38…..wtf? lol….actually-Thanx so much for that… Now I see teddy pinnedherass in a new positive light. You know what? I think I might just tune in! Thank you #38 TPain’s Manager, for having an epiphany at the strip club

  40. hood_shit

    why are Strahan and Mitchell using their real names? Cant remember a character name?

    Why does T-Pain always look the fool?

  41. dumbasses on CL

    T pain so ugly he reminds you of a cartoon character.

    When will the 00s bring us some classic ass shows like in the 90s?? This decade truly sucked hard.

  42. Tianni

    This show is really funny. I saw the season premiere (back to back episodes). really nice show. I just hope it isnt cancelled.

    TPAIN crazy ass would play a part such as a pimp or a hustle man of some sort. I am so sick of blacks being portrayed like that on television. Its 2009, start hiring white folks to take on those roles, they hustle in the streets & are pimps also.

  43. oooh nasty

    My hubby & I watched the premier show & it was actually VERY good. Stop prejudging and give it a chance.

  44. If I was Michael Strahan I wouldnt have even done this show if they were going to air it on Fridays. There hasnt been a decent black sitcom on since the Parkers SMH. Anyways it sounds like a funny show.

  45. diamond

    unfortunately we ALL know this show isn’t gunna be on air for long, ESPECIALLY on FOX!

    i give it HALF a season!

  46. Miss SayitStr8

    I guess this would be news to the 8 people that actually watched the show last week.

  47. RedbonegotthatKillBill

    Why is this show coming on.

  48. LULU

    I like this show. Gotta feeling it’ll be cancelled though, and they put it on the worse night (Friday) when no one is really watching TV anyways…
