This show actually could be better, if the acting was consistently better, the dialogue didn't drag, and the scenes were improved. The topics can be good. The issue is this show, like other shows of Tyler Perry, take time before it gets to the point. I want Tyler Perry to succeed in all he does, and think it's great he's done well for himself coming up from a very tough childhood. This show though needs work in certain areas.There are things in this show that can be/are funny. OK, we can laugh, now move on. In this show, it's like the Character or someone else has to try to drag out the joke. For instance: You know, that chicken crossed the road because there was a KFC where he started to walk. That's the joke, but then someone will go into detail how KFC can deep fry chicken and prepare it many other ways. Then that chicken would be eaten. OK, we got the joke/punchline already can we move on?Another issue is dialogue. It's a show and people are watching it for a purpose. We don't need to see dragged out daily conversations. "Hello" "Hi" "How are you?" "fine, How are you?" "OK, how was your day?". Then God forbid there were arguments or disagreements. Dialogue for 10-15 seconds could be a back and forth "No I didn't" one-two second pause "Yes you did". It wasn't natural and just seemed forced. Lastly, it shouldn't have to take an entire episode for someone to have a problem. Then next weeks episode is other people finding out. Then next week it's how do they tell people about it. Then it's how to solve the problem. And there you have too much time wasted on something that could've been shown in one episode.

I am a Tyler Perry fan but this has to be one of the worst written & acting shows I've scene. To have all the money Mr. Perry has, you'd think he'd hire better writers or maybe take a few writing courses himself. This show is just awful!!! The characters have no substance. Luckily for Mr. Perry, Oprah Winfrey is one of his closest friends, so she'll probably never cancel this program or the other ones she carries on her network. I'm watching it now which compelled me to write this review. That laugh track is so annoying also. Mr. Perry needs to be a little more realistic with his scenes. How many hairdressers stand on their feet, doing hair all day in 6" heels like Angela does? This is just my opinion but this show is awful.

When I first saw this show, I was impressed. The production of this show was different, the style was different, and there wasn't a laugh track! I loved it! Aside from that, the stories and the characters were great! Aside from Angela's friend and co-worker, Jennifer, and the intern at Marcus' TV show, Todd, I really enjoy these characters. I wouldn't mind Jennifer or Todd if they weren't so obnoxious or abrupt and annoying. But the other characters are great. The situations that are created for them are very good. I love these stories and plots, and, again, they all seem totally realistic.I didn't like the addition of the laugh track in the second season! I was really disappointed when that was added. The first season looked like it was taking a more mature tone with how this was shot and without the track. Every time I hear it in the other seasons, I hear "You're watching a sitcom! Laugh! We want you to laugh now!" Uh, NO! I'm a man, I'll laugh when I want to laugh! Aside from that, though, I really don't have any problem with this show. I think it's really good, and I hope it continues to go in the mature, good route...Just beware of the evil laugh track. BOOYIKA!

I'd give this a 6/10.The acting isn't bad really, which was what I was worried about at first, but it's honestly not (not amazing, though). They don't have a laugh track, which I love.The writing is...okay. It's not bad, but it feels like watching an actual person's life going on, only simplified. The scenes aren't snappy or very interesting, but not boring either. It's like the conversations actual people have - only the kind of not so interesting ones you'd never put in a show.They spend too long on the same scene on the same set. Some of the characters overact their comedic moments. The comedic timing isn't that great.But it's not bad if you want to kill some time and want something kind of bland to give your mind a rest.
