‘Meet the Browns’ Gets Enormous Episode Order

David Mann and Tamela J. Mann/Tyler Perry's Meet the BrownsWell, there’s no doubt how much TBS loves Tyler Perry, the man responsible for one, going on two now, of the network’s most popular original series.

Yesterday, the basic-cable network announced that it has ordered an additional 80 — yes, eighty — episodes of Perry’s second sitcom, Meet the Browns, based on premiere ratings that are only surpassed by those that Perry’s first sitcom, House of Payne, earned when it debuted in June 2007. I must say I’m happy about this news because Meet the Browns has proven to be a funny and engaging comedy so far.

Variety reports that Meet the Browns, now nearing the end of a ten-episode trial run, will return in the summer to team up with House of Payne. Obviously, this is a match made in heaven, so Perry fans have a whole lot to look forward to on TBS in a few months.
