good, maybe they can finally get back to the old ways of giving a show more than six eps to become a big hit. I also heard on TV Guide podcast that scripts are being rushed for some of these same shows, with the producers scrambling to go ahead and film *new* episodes against the danger of a

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? is number one at the box office, taking in $21.4, almost twice as much as this weekend's No. 2 film, The Game Plan. While I wish Mr. Perry all the best, his success (this is his third number one at the box office) does not bode well for serious black

I have seen ³Why Did I Get Married². And I have seen ³I Think I Love My Wife². I can¹t believe I¹m saying this, but Tyler Perry has done a better film. Tyler has clearly learned from his own mistakes (this is a Madea-free movie!) and has focused on what made his plays popular...the characters,

90% of the audiences were Black. I think his name carries weight in a lot of circles of the African American community. Unfortunately, I fear you are right in your prediction of a large volume of embarrassing Black films that are similar to some of the books you refer to. I hope that

Tyler Perry is the new Spike Lee. Nothing more, nothing less. Spike did movies to get people talking and bring the community out. It worked. If we're gonna be worried about a Black director's success making it hard for more serious Black filmmakers...what about Tim Story? On 10/16/07 8:07 PM,

I just want to add, that while I'm not a Perry fan, I do get a kick out of the fact that he was not even on the radar of the analysts and yet he topped the list. He's laughing all the way to the bank. ravenadal wrote: Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? is number one at the box office,
