Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns: Season 2
The latest season of Tyler Perry’s award-winning comedy comes home this fall as Lionsgate releases Meet the Browns: Season 2 on DVD. Winner of the 2011 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series for leading man David Mann, the series follows the misadventures of the Brown family. The hilarious family comedy also stars Tamela Mann (Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family), Lamman Rucker (Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?), Denise Boutte (Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?) and Juanita Jennings (Tyler Perry’s Daddy’s Little Girls). Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns: Season 2 is complete with all 20 episodes of the sophomore season on three discs.
Mr. Brown’s “retirement home” started as a complete fluke – a result of a misunderstanding followed by a happy accident in a neighborhood full of lively and unique individuals. While Brown might not be the brightest bulb in the house, he’s managed to create a combination safe haven and circus act under his “Brown Meadows” big top. The new “family” members – young and old – who now call Brown Meadows home hail from all walks of life, but more importantly, they share trials, tribulations and lots of laughter. Meeting the Browns will surely make you a part of this fun family too.
