TBS Wants to "Meet the Browns"

If you're a fan of "House of Payne," you probably can't wait to "Meet the Browns."

TBS will soon be adding another Tyler Perry sitcom to its lineup, says Hollywood.com. "Meet the Browns" is based on and will include characters from the 2008 hit movie. David Mann will reprise his role as Leroy Brown. The series kicks off with Brown inheriting a broken-down house from his deceased father.

The network placed a 10-episode order. Perry will serve as executive producer and director, and occasionally write an episode or two. He'll be plenty busy working on his next big-screen effort, "The Family That Preys," which will debut this fall.

"Meet the Browns" is expected to premiere on TBS in January 2009. -- Rachel Cericola
