Can’t Get Enough of Mr. Brown? Watch What’s Done In The Dark!

We all love Mr. Leroy Brown and his color antics. And don’t get me started on that man’s fashion sense! Mr. Brown likes to mix it up when it comes to clothes!

If you want to see more of this wonderful character check out Tyler Perry’s movie “What’s Done in the Dark.” This story revolves around the doctors, nurses, and patients of an inner city hospital. Here’s a preview of what happens:

-a nurse discovers that the doctor she’s fooling around with is married;
-a faithful husband is diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease;
-the son of a nurse abandoned by her husband seeks desperate means to make money;
-and audience favorite Mr. Brown comes to the hospital convinced that he’s dying, dragging his long-suffering daughter Cora along with him.

This is a production of a play written by Tyler Perry that was filmed before a live audience. Because of this, you hear audience reactions to the antics onstage. And the toe tapping live gospel songs will get you out of your chair joining in with the singers. This is an event you’ll want to see over and over again.

Meet The Browns Episode 2: Meet London and the Competition

Meet The Browns Episode 2

This episode of Meet The Browns opens with some of the tenants complaining about their residential arrangements. Mr. Brown needs to make further renovations to the building. Mr. Brown continues fixing up his new (but really old and rundown) home that he wants to turn into a retirement home but soon realizes he needs help and sets up interviews for the job of handyman.

Miss Daisy, channeling Gloria Swanson, glides down the stairs asking for her tea, but it’s reminiscent of the Sunset Blvd scene in which Gloria states “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.” They’ll need to watch this one to make sure her performance isn’t too over the top.

Ms. Simmons then gets a phone call from Mr. Brown who informs her that he’s in jail for making terrorist threats. While at the airport he referred to a box that he was shipping as “the bomb.” The tenants scramble to find a way to get Mr. Brown out of jail.

In the meantime the tenants begin interviewing candidates for the handyman position. The first candidate appears a bit odd and we soon learn that he’s suffering from post traumatic shock syndrome and hallucinations.

Shortly thereafter Mr. Brown is freed from jail (his nephew posts bail).

The next candidate for the handyman position is “Jesus” (Latino pronounciation “heh-sus”) which throws Mr. Brown for a loop. As you can imagine, Mr. Brown insists on pronoucing the name using the biblical pronunciation. After he successfully fixes a lamp Mr. Brown hires him.

London, a dense young pop star (read Paris Hilton or Britney Spears), also moves into the retirement home. Okay, at this point the establishment ceases to be a retirement home in my mind. It’s becoming more of a general boarding house than anything. Why a wealthy (albeit crazy) aging actress and a young and extremely popular pop star would want to reside at Mr. Brown’s rundown home is anyone’s guess. I hope we find out what brought all of them to the house instead of having to suspend reality and accept that they chose this place on their own. We at least find out that London is there serving out a community service sentence but why Mr. Brown’s home was chosen for this purpose and why he received a sizable check to keep her there is anyone’s guess. Some questions are better left unanswered.

Overall the show is entertaining. Mr. Brown is hilarious and incredibly endearing. Although there are several quirky characters on the show the show doesn’t really have a villain, which I think would add to the appeal of the show. The rival nursing home owner may be the person the fill this need but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Meet The Browns Episode 1: Meet Brown Meadows

Meet The Browns Episode 1

In this, the first episode of Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns TV show, Mr. Brown attempts to honor his father’s dying wish by turning his old home into Brown Meadows, a retirement home.

The scene begins with Mr. Brown explaining the misuderstanding that occurred at the hardware store when Mr. Brown asked the clerk for the clap. As you can imagine, Mr. Brown was referring to The Clapper (a device that controls house lights by simply clapping ones hands) but it was funny watching him explain this issue. At one point he informs his sister (Ms. Simmons, portrayed by Mr. Brown’s real-life wife, Tamela Mann) that he’d given the clap to Madea. Ms. Simmons soon makes a hasty departure.

The next scene opens with a male tenant chasing a female tenant around Mr. Brown’s living room. Turns out the two of them are married and the male character (Les Brown) is Mr. Brown’s nephew and a gynecologist who’s married to Sasha brown, a nurse.

A frantic woman (Carmen) bursts into Mr. Browns house asking if he can house the residents of a nearby nursing home that was burned down. The most outstanding character in this group is a 60 something woman that’s hot after Mr. Brown (and any other man for that matter). There’s a brief sniping scene between Mr. Brown and Miss Robinson, the current owner of the burned down nursing home, but it’s unclear as to how large a role she will play in the series. It’s during this scene that Mr. Brown is informed that he’ll need a license for housing the 20 or so tenants.

Mr. Brown is next visited by Miss Robinson accompanied by a representative from the state licensing board. They inform Mr. Brown that he has to shut down his establishment because he doesn’t have a license to operate a retirement home. Mr.Brown reluctantly gives up the tenants but there’s a twist: Miss Robinson doesn’t want to take two of the tenants:

-a male tenant that likes to take care of bodily function outside, in the shrubbery;
-a female tenant that’s the 70-year old version of Samantha from Sex and the City.

They soon take an additional eccentric tenant, Miss Daisy Larue, a wealthy, somewhat insane former stage actress who acts like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd.

Great fun!
