Cult favorite “Madea”, Tyler Perry’s popular character, is heading to TBS as part of the new show ‘Tyler Perry’s House of Payne’. The new show will see its debut on Wednesday at 9. If you are unaware of Perry, he is an ultra popular black playwright who is a true rags to riches story. Growing up poor and in an abusive household, he head to Los Angeles to become an actor. He was homeless for a time. Now he is an icon of the African American culture who love his no holds barred style.

Perry bankrolled the first 10 shows of the new show and caught the attention of the Superstation. Now TBS has ordered 100 shows of the that will focus on the character of Curtis “Pops” Payne who is modeled as a sort of Archie Bunker of black people. “Madea”, made popular in Perry’s plays about the hilarious Grandma, will make some cameo appearances in the show but will not be a regular cast member.

The show will be a no holds barred type of show. It will center on Payne’s nephew having to move in because his crack addicted wife has burnt down the house. If you think that is ‘risque’ other shows will talk about HIV, child predators and drug addiction.
