The Paynes

Ella and Curtis are funny, but add a laugh track after every single thing said makes the show so non-funny that it is a chore to watch. House of Payne let the viewer get the laughs without any prompting, but the laugh track on The Paynes does not even match the funny commentary on the show! Plus it is the SAME laugh track everytime, so obviously it is done by the producers that don't realize there is NO NEED to try to prompt laughs!! This would be an absolutely fabulous spin off if the network would just let it play. I've tried watching it twice, got to start of Episode 3 and got so frustrated with the laugh track interrupting the dialogue that I turned it off.

The show would be a whole lot better if you would get rid of Curtis...He's annoying, acts so stupid and he doesn't listen to anyone that gives him advice that he really needs...I have watched the show for a long time and I do like the new episodes, but please get rid of Curtis...He destroys the show...

I was excited when this show was announced. I was excited during the first couple of episodes. Then it became what it currently is: UNFUNNY AND UNINTERESTING! The audience's laughter at everything that is said by the cast is irritating, especially since it's never funny, and the plot is nothing but C.J., Jasmine, and Malik flipped to a single mother with two obnoxious children. On House of Payne, the Ella character was the aunt that everyone wanted, and the Curtis character was funny, but serious when he needed to be. Now Ella seems like a watered-down version of Madea, and Curtis is too irritating to watch. And the acting is horrible! The kids can't act, their mom can't act, and the young guy at the laundromat can't act. The only way to describe it is cardboardish. And why, Jackee Harry, did you accept a role that has you acting so...not Jackee Harry?

BRING BACK THE ENTIRE CAST OF HOUSE OF PAYNE! BRING BACK THE QUALITY OF HOUSE OF PAYNE! BRING BACK THE TALENTED ACTORS OF HOUSE OF PAYNE!

I give 2 stars because of the episodes that had the cast of House of Payne. Other than that...SMH

This show is literally all Curtis & Ella the old character's made this show and the new Florida location and basing it off some immature women who has options in a domestic violence situation and the kid actor's are pretty annoying... I thought this would be great but without Curtis and Ella this show would be a complete dud

I noticed someone said to get rid of Curtis. That's crazy because he is the show. The show is horrible though. It's like Tyler Perry isn't even trying to make the show good. Horrible acting all around. I guess the original actors probably wanted more money than Tyler Perry is willing to spend. Someone else stated how they stay on one subject to long, very true! Needs a change or cancel it!
