Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey Partner on ‘For Better or Worse’ Sitcom
Oprah Winfrey Network is quickly becoming the Oprah Winfrey & Tyler Perry Network. OWN has picked up Perry’s sitcom For Better Or Worse, ordering a third season of originals and acquiring the show’s existing 45 episodes. For Better Or Worse, which previously aired on TBS, is OWN’s third scripted series from Perry, who last October signed an exclusive deal with the network for scripted fare. The first two series under the pact, sitcom Love Thy Neighbor and drama The Haves And The Have Nots, premiere in May.
GOOD FOR THEM. Oprah and Tyler are 2 good people who have produced shows that have inspiring, educational messages. Oprah is well known for promoting books and education. She opened a school in Africa. They have also been very generous in helping others, donating to scholarship funds, and similar acts.
We need to see more of these actions from Black celebrities (and others) in our communities that are struggling and suffering.
Let’s support these people and those who are promoting positive actions in our communities — instead of those nutty rappers who wear so much gold on their teeth, too many tattoos, have been brawling in clubs, and shooting each other on the Las Vegas Strip.
