Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns Season 5 Episode 8 - Meet the Family Portrait

Tyler Perry's House of Payne is an American comedy-drama television series created and produced by playwright, director, and producer Tyler Perry. The show revolves around a multi-generational family living under one roof in Atlanta, Georgia led by patriarch Curtis Payne and his wife Ella. The show premiered in syndication on June 21, 2006, and new episodes have been broadcast exclusively on TBS since June 6, 2007. While primarily a comedy sitcom, House of Payne is known for featuring dark themes and subject matter, such as substance abuse and addiction, and has thus often been classified as a comedy-drama or black comedy. It also has elements of slapstick. The storyline of the show is serialized, with many references to past episodes, creating a continuing story arc.
