The Haves and the Have Nots from writer, director, actor and producer Tyler Perry, is a new television drama that follows the complicated dynamic between the rich and powerful Cryer family and the hired help who work in their opulent mansion set in Savannah, Georgia. The show airs on OWN, which is the Oprah Winfrey Network. Perry has another show that airs on the network called “If Loving You is Wrong”, both of which have been audience favorites.
“The Haves and the Have Nots” storyline is described as, “From the outside, the Cryers are the enviable face of success and wealth, but behind the veil the family’s dysfunction threatens to destroy their world of privilege. Cryer family patriarch Jim Cryer (John Schneider) is a powerful judge whose double-life, including tawdry affairs with high-priced escorts, puts his family and political ambitions at risk. His wife, Katheryn Cryer (Renée Lawless), is the ultimate matriarch portraying a loving and dutiful wife, but she is willing to do anything to protect her family’s status. Their son Wyatt (Aaron O’Connell) is a troubled angry jock who cares little for his own image and finds himself in and out of rehab. His sister Amanda (Jacyln Betham), a struggling law student, tries harder to live up to her parents’ expectations, but unknowingly has befriended a scurrilous young woman, Candace Young, with the power to ruin the entire family.

I watch the show as much as I can and I must say the dialog is improving. There is not so much of saying "what" every time someone is reacting to profound situation or statement. Thank you for getting additional writers with more extensive vocabularies because all of the actors sounded like Tyler Perry. Another thing I wanted to say is thank you for giving Hanna Young a break! I was about to commit suicide for her! She was carrying so much Woe and crying too much for me. Here is another observation. These are suppose to be Attorneys and judges and other professional people but there are never seen at work, why is that? and David Harrington, please give him some balls. He is too much of a wimp especially to Veronica, his ex-wife. That's another thing. Why is she ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS plotting evil. Come on, she is suppose to be an attorney, why doesn't she ever practice her profession or is she now just a professional *itch. No body is that evil all of the time. And please tell Veronica to change that hairdo. It is most unbecoming for the shape of her head and especially the shape of her face. The most flattering wig I've seen her wear was the curly one that was cut just below her chin, that one was the nicest.
I think I fit because I love drama and mystery and I no I can fit in well on this show I am a family man I have a wife and 8 kids so I no all about how to play a role.
