Have the Browns made a mistake in the first season of the Assisted Living TV show on BET? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living here.
A BET family sitcom, Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living features the return of main characters from Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns, which ran on TBS for five seasons. The new show stars David Mann, Tamela Mann, J. Anthony Brown, Na’im Lynn, Courtney Nichole, Tayler Buck, and Alex Henderson. In the story, Jeremy (Lynn) loses his job so he and his young family (Nichole, Buck, and Henderson) move to the backwoods of Georgia to help his eccentric grandfather. Jeremy’s Grandpa Vinny (Brown) has foolishly purchased a terribly run-down home for the elderly and he is in way over his head. Vinny’s prayers are answered (sort of) when Mr. Leroy S. Brown (David Mann) and his daughter, Cora (Tamela Mann) show up as needy investors.

I couldn’t get through the first episode. It was terrible. It came off as another theater play rather than a TV show. It looked like it was cheaply made with a very low budget. Tyler Perry should be so much farther along than this with his work.
Oh my goodness. I hate this show. I know hate is a strong word but omg this show is awful. I was excited about this show but I am so disappointed in Tyler Perry. He really needs to hire some writers, producers, etc. J Brown doing all that cussing and for what. It’s not even funny. The actors including the young ones are terrible actors also. I tried watching but could not finish. They take to long to get to the point and when they finally get to it it’s a big let down. This show is so boring I… Read more »
Too much cursing in front of teens. Where is Pamela Man?
I am half way through the first episode and I can’t finish it. This show is so bad. I thought that J Anthony would bring some life, but the writing is so bad and the actor’s are horrible. The profanity does not make it funny. Please get some writers and maybe the actors you have will be better.
Just my opinion but I thought the show was awful. He has his own audience, guess I’m not part of it. The dialogue is weak, it takes them half an hour to finish a sentence. You could tell he let Jay Anthony Brown ad lib by the reaction on the teenagers faces. Also, the laugh tracks are outdated and distracting.
Mr. Perry, please take lessons or hire better writers.
I think the show should be cancelled. There was too much profanity and not interesting at all. I really loved Meet the Browns very good show.
Was not happy with the language. Think it could have been better without it. Felt like they were trying to hard to get laughs.
I agree with you Heather It was hard to watch/cringe worthy but I committed to one episode and wanted to like it so much because I like Tyler’s other shows and movies. I still enjoy watching “Meets the Brown show” to this day. Yet with this show, I believed the hard language was unnecessary . The scenes/ actors didn’t flow for me; lots of hesitancy on actors part as if waiting for the other actor to act/speak. I can see the jokes coming from a mile away and the delivery was stiff. Maybe having the Mann on board may save… Read more »
