Poppa's House

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.

It's a good show and I love seeing the Wayans men again so much. But unfortunately first off Damon jr's wife it pretty boring and not someone you want to see too much of in the show they should really fix that or just stop showing her as much second I agree with another reviewer that said you need better writers you definitely do. I'm not saying it's a bad show it's for sure a good show just with the Wayans men in it alone but definitely needs to written better and take the wife out or give her better story's and I'm really trying to get used to the therapist lady but she's just so meh I don't know maybe it's just me on that one. I feel this could be more about the dad and son and the dads ex wife oh well we will see how this goes.

I enjoyed this show much more then I thought I would. It really was a good show. I enjoyed the characters and thr strong family message that the show sent. Keep in mind, this is a CBS show, so it was going to show the Wayans in a more calm light then what we generally are accustomed to. Poppa, a divorced, single, and happy man, has his own talk show that is very popular. He is a tad bit stubborn. He is also very successful. His son, who lives right next door, has his own family and he still learns many lessons and gets his father's guidance all the time. I thought the show was fun and definitely worth watching. Too bad it got cancelled would have definitely loved to see more.

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.

Over the years of my life, I've watched a lot movies with the different Wayans family members. Most everything, from "Scary Movie" to "Let's Be Cops", so I'm familiar with a lot of their comedy and family. I didn't have many thoughts when I saw early promotion for this series. It didn't seem like something I'd love or avoid, because the clips they showed weren't that memorable. I feel like, as I gave it a chance, it got better as the show went on. The writers got their footing. The storylines are very basic, and the comedy comes from both Wayans, mostly, and it's surprised me. It's now a show I watch every week and laugh out loud at. Do you know how few sitcoms can still do that? Not many. Now, as I mentioned, the show took a little while to set itself up, and the first few episodes didn't seem as impressive as the later episodes. Also, the writing really fluctuates between episodes. Some episodes are really, really silly, with Wayans, Jr. Just shrieking, making noises and doing all kinds of physical comedy. If he did much more, it would be too much, and the last commercial break before the last segment is always a forced dramatic moment. Not necessarily needed. Overall, though, the chemistry between real father and son is great, and the show is very funny, in my opinion. If you like any of the Wayans, or their previous work, you'll like this, too.
