Poppa's House

It's good to see Damon Sr on a show. He's aged well and is still funny as hell. I like his old-school character with morals and values. However, his son isn't funny and the voices he does are lame. He wasn't funny on New Girl..it just seems like he's trying WAY TOO HARD.... The laugh track is annoying. They should have JJ on there more so that Sr. Could have a rival...their interaction was funny. Essence's character should be more like DeeDee on Half and Half becuase snooty big DeeDee was funny. Essence's character comes off as a bit annoying and not funny. I'll still support the show. Hopefully, it gets better.

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.

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.

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.

Another ridiculous sitcom that apparently is not funny enough on its own. That is what the laugh track is for: to cue us when to laugh even though there is nothing really funny to laugh about other than someone put money into this waste of space. Much like The Upshaws! Stupid. Nothing original. Not even good acting. Anyone who thinks this show is worth the time are folks who have nothing going on in their lives and do not expect better coming from the creators of this space-taker-upper! Insipid! Meaning lacking flavor! I am 75 words shy of the requirement here so I am taking up space as well!!
