Rel is right. TP insistence on writing his own stuff with zero help stems from him being cheap. That’s it. He doesn’t wanna pay black writers scale money. He fired an entire writers room before they got to 100 episodes because they demanded union wages (which were owed). He loved putting us in front of the camera but won’t put us behind it.

Even if he truly enjoys writing, he needs help. Plain and simple.

Criticize others efforts after putting out that godawful Rel show brehs

:hhh:


Beat me to it...he had a writing team and Sinbad for his show, and it was still weak.

Meanwhile, the same network who gave him a show had on multiple Seth McFarlane programs around it,
- one was called Family Guy, and Seth has no family
- one is about a conservative CIA agent, and Seth is neither
- one was about a Black man, which he isn't

...and I don't recall him saying anything to Seth

The sudden support Tyler Perry has gotten lately compared to before is surprisingly hilarious.
I think Tyler Perry is a terrible writer but I simply chose not to spend my money on his productions. If his fan Base continue to support his work then more power to him. No one should tell him he should hire other writers when it's his business. If the formula has been working so far why would he listen to anyone else?

He's a trash writer and director but his stuff is super popular. Why change? There are plenty of opportunities for black people at his studio...just not in the writer room. Complaining about that seems misguided to me. He's not going to change.

I don’t know why folks are always complaining. It’s his show, his studio, his money. Don’t watch or write your own shyt :yeshrug:
This :what:

I dont get it. Nobody gave a fukk about how he made his shows and movies. People that didnt fukk with shyt didnt fukk with it.

And I don't see how people critiqued him for the character Madea like we didnt grow up watching comedians cross dressing and making characters.

Yall watched Martin didnt you?
