What do you think? Do you watch any of these OWN TV shows?
Please renew Haves and have nots and If loving you is wrong .. I’m 64 and retired and I never missed either one of these shows..Mr Perry is truly a talented and gifted person.. I know the shows are fiction but they seem so real and relevant to today’s society.. Keep up the good works Tyler!!!!!
Yes love all Tyler movies,plays. Etc.keep all his shows on..
I love all of the shows, however, my favorite is Love Thy Neighbor. I just love laughter, and Hattie Mae and Uncle Floyd are two of a kind. They keep you laughing, the rest of the staff like Hattie Mae’s daughter Linda is also someone I can relate to. Just watching her bring this story line of Linda’s to the viewers, really can shine light on how beautiful, sweet, caring, lovable, strong and kind a woman is, at the end of the day she still hurts. I was so very happy to see that Mr. Perry brought forward Phillip who… Read more »
Where my half an half not
Tyler Perry’s shows HAHN’s, Love Thy Neighbor, and If Loving You Is Wrong are the best shows on television. Mr.Perry is absolutely brilliant. Thank you Oprah for allowing us ( the viewers) to engage in such entertainment. Wish we didn’t have to sit on the edge of our seats for so many months awaiting next seasons premier. Mr. Perry has truly been blessed by finding his calling. His movies and tv shows are my favorites, every one. I could go on and on. It would be a show worth watching if Mr. Perry hosted the BET awards as Madea this… Read more »
I love Mr. TP, but I have to say the dialogue on this show is killing me. Is someone else writing a portion of these scripts (at times the characters are repeating themselves to a state of irritation)? One night my daughters and I were relieved when it went off! Benny is attractive , but at times his character seems a little…… slow. Veronica is attractive , but at times her character, leaves in the middle of the scene, and to return and then repeat the same line or maybe even reword it , but it’s the same thing. She… Read more »
I forgot to mention that Hanna, Katherine , and Candace ( spelled wrong before), are attractive!
Thank you for you time!

I love the halves and the halves not!!! Does anybody know if they will continue making more episodes . I love that is has everything u would want to see in a show. I hope Tyler perry continues on writting more scripts. Thank u operha and perry
I love the HaHn and if loving you were wrong but stop dragging out about Benny father wanted his kidney and just tell him and since we’re close to the finale Candace should have answered her cell so quincy could make her pack up and run.
SOOOOOOO loving this Show. HOTTEST THING ON TV
I enjoy them all.
Please keep them on. I even have my husband watching them too.
Love the HAHN but dialogue is too slow. The conversation between John Cryer and the lady in the car that gave him a ride to his house was ridiculous. There was absolutely no emotion shown at all when he was told his daughter was dead and who was she to tell him. It was just so uncomfortable to watch. So fake. But I do like the storylines just not the actors.
I watch all four shows, I even set to record so I want miss anything.I enjoy, my mother is a fan also. I love all of Tyler Perry work. I even been to all hes plays ; very talent & I love it…he’s a genius, I’m glad Oprah team with him , she new in her heart how powerful he is.
So glad they renewed. HAHN
being a big fan of the “haves” and “loving” this is great news to me!
This is a great show. The only thing I would change is a speed and duration between dialog, which means the pauses are not suspenseful but mind deadening. However- Please RENEW, RENEW, this show!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great show Candace need to be a bad b….h to whip Quincy’s ass holding her son upside. Where has baby been with grandma/stashed somewhere? Bout time Jeffrey grew some.tired of veronica dangling car over him.Celine is crazy.Melissa pregnant one time lucky.
Can wait for the returns of the haves and haves not oh yahhaves and haves not and house of Payne is my show
