Poppa's House

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. I look forward to more seasons of this, and hope it doesn't get cancelled anytime soon.

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.

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.

Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr are two of the absolute best in the business. The humor, the timing, they are great. The show needs room to grow though.

The women are unbearable. Why are women written so ridiculously unlikable these days? Seriously there's an audience for it or as usual the men are carrying the load and the women are along for the free ride?

Women used to be written to be supportive and funny and wise. Now they're just miserable shrews. Humorously if the men were written so poorly not a single show would survive. Yet you have father's and such with big hearts. The women are struggling to keep up. The ending redeemed the women some though so here's hoping.

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.
