Poppa's House

I watched all the episodes but I really didn't get into it until the seventh episode. I felt that the show has finally coming into its own. Damon Wayans and Junior do a fine believable job. The humor and writing is getting better as we get used to the characters and sitcom premise. I don't exactly where it is set. Maybe in New Jersey, Poppa worked on the radio in nearby New York City. The cast of characters are slowly coming into form as the season goes on. I enjoyed the Misery segment when Poppa has a nightmare about his co-podcaster in the niddle of the night. I felt the physical humor in the seventh episode added to the show.

Poppa's House is my current favorite tv show. My husband and I look forward to seeing the new episodes each week. Both Damon's crack us up laughing. They have a great father and son chemistry. I can feel their love and respect for each other radiate off the screen. I love that it's a simple, fun, and clean family movie. So glad it's not full of curse words, sex scenes, and drama. I have watched each past episode multiple times and laugh each time as if it was my first time watching. I think the whole cast is great. It's nice seeing Elvin from the Cosby show as Damon Jr father in law. Look forward to MORE episodes.

The banter is witty enough, the characters are typical flawed goofy people like most multi-cam sitcoms. However the producers need to tone down the laugh track. The punchlines are too fast and the writers need to let the joke rhythm breathe a little bit more. Still, after two episodes, I think this has a chance to get renewed. CBS is hurting for viewership and it's possible that this show gets enough views on Paramount plus to keep around for a few seasons. And the writing should tightening up a bit a long the way. If you watched My Wife and Kids, this is kind of similar in terms of comedic tone.

I love seeing Damon Sr. And Damon Jr. Working together. However, Wayans, you can do better. I've watched all 4 episodes now because I have seen all your individual shows and I am a huge fan of the entire Wayans family and T. V. projects. I've been waiting to see the kids that have been constantly mentioned on Episodes 1-3. You did that with Episode 4. I been waiting to get some spice on the show, Wendy Raquel Robinson brought it on Episode 4! She needs to be a regular. She did not disappoint! I love Essence Atkins and she is great, but the show needs the antics Wendy Raquel Robinson is known to bring in all her roles. Plus, the show keeps talking about Poppa's ex and family issues.

The set change on Episode 2 was disappointing, why not keep it for a cool middle age new bachelor? Episode 3 was somewhat disappointing. Please, please do not make Damon Jr.'s character goofy like Jr. From My Wife and Kids. That character development was a spiral going downward.

What is really disappointing is the comedy and better writing. Poppa's part is solid and now the emergence of the mother (Wendy Raquel Robinson), but the rest needs some work. I like the serious lines and all the characters, but what all the Wayans family members do best is comedy. This show is missing that Wayans flavour.

Listen, this show took the place of one of my favorite shows. Bob and Abishola was one of the most diverse and talented casts on television. When I heard that Poppa's House would replace it, was not happy but I gave it a shot.

How is it possible for this show to be less funny than the Wayans Brothers show. Well, the older show had a better supporting cast and was better written.

Poppa's House felt like Damon and his son were just calling it in every episode. What a waste of talent. There was even a show about truth or dare. A full show just on that game. It was the laziest attempt at entertainment that I have ever witnessed.

I watched the whole season and left every episode disappointed. What a shame.
