FINALLY! Tyler Perry's hit tv show House Of Payne was canceled. But TBS is replacing it with another Tyler Perry created show entitled For Better Or Worse starring Tasha Smith and Michael Jai White as they resume their characters as Angela and Marcus.
Perry has signed his latest deal with the Turner-owned network for “For Better or Worse,” a dramedy series based on his “Why Did I Get Married?” film franchise. Michael Jai White and Tasha Smith are set to reprise their big-screen roles as television anchor Marcus and salon owner Angela. Like Perry’s past TBS projects, “House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns,” the young adult-focused series will roll out with 10 episodes. If the latter reaches a certain ratings threshold during its initial run, the network will order 90 more. Production will begin this summer, just as Perry wraps production on “Payne” after a staggering 222 episodes.For the first quarter of 2011, “House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns” ranked among television’s top five primetime sitcoms with black adults aged 18-34 and 18-49. Perry’s latest feature, “Madea’s Big Happy Family,” opened in second place at the North American box office during the weekend.
