The Paynes

Horrible show on television... Its nothing like the first one and that one was & still is the best one to watch on TV.

Get rid of Curtis????? Curtis makes the show! I agree the original cast needs to be added to this cast. Lynn is a little funny in her own way but she is no Jasmine. The boy, her brother) needs to go. He is not funny at all, he is too 'mannish', hair is too wild (he needs a hair cut) and overall he cannot act. Ryan needs to grow up. Would like to see him take on a more manly role instead of that boyish under his mama's apron act he plays. Jackee' this is not 227 or Sister Sister. Bring something else fresh to the table. I think you are a wonderful actress but I see a lot of the same style of acting from your previous sitcom's. Would like to see a hospital setting with Kendrick having to treat Curtis and Curtis put up a fight. Since Calvin is single now why doesn't he hook up with Nyla? Janine's twins needs to come for a visit with their parents so Cj can help uncle Curtis at the laundromat.... needs more of the old cast period. Thanks Tyler P...

Ella and Curtis are funny, but add a laugh track after every single thing said makes the show so non-funny that it is a chore to watch. House of Payne let the viewer get the laughs without any prompting, but the laugh track on The Paynes does not even match the funny commentary on the show! Plus it is the SAME laugh track everytime, so obviously it is done by the producers that don't realize there is NO NEED to try to prompt laughs!! This would be an absolutely fabulous spin off if the network would just let it play. I've tried watching it twice, got to start of Episode 3 and got so frustrated with the laugh track interrupting the dialogue that I turned it off.

I like the original show better. This version has no flow at all. I like the idea of continuing storyline but they spend way too much time on one subject. The whole show is spent on foolishness. Nyla needs to go. How is Kendrick a surgeon?? This this show needs a reboot with some of the original cast.

I tried to watch this new verison of the show. It's just too silly. Terrible writing, NO substance. Curtis and Ella and the new laundromat boy seems to act so stupid. I've never seen a black family act like this in real life. Get rid of that depressing Nyla, she not entertaining at all. Finally, throw that laugh track in the garbage.
