Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns coming to a television near you.
I have just begun to get sucked into watching Tyler Perry's House of Payne weekly on TBS, so I don't know how I feel about this yet.
TBS has ordered a new sitcom “Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns” after the success of 100 episodes of “House of Payne.”
The station is a bit more cautious this time, ordering just 10 episodes for January 2009. Then again, the release implies that this 10-episode run of “Meet the Browns” could mean more episodes forthcoming if it does well.
According to a press release:
“Meet the Browns” stars David Mann as Leroy Brown, a character who earlier this year was featured in Perry’s hit film of the same name.  He has also appeared in several episodes of “House of Payne” on TBS. Perry’s new series begins after Brown inherits a dilapidated house from his deceased father.
Angela Bassett, who was in the original film, won’t be joining the new crew.
“House of Payne” has 26 new episodes set starting in December with production beginning in September. [AJC]
