David and Tamela Mann Star in TBS Sitcom “Meet the Browns”
I love Lucy and Ricky (Ricardo), Alice and Ralph (Kramden), Laura and Rob (Petrie), Claire and Heathcliff (Huxtable); and chances are that Tyler Perry’s characters—Cora and Leroy Brown—will soon be added to this list of TV’s most popular sitcom twosomes. Yes, on Jan. 7, TBS will launch “Meet the Browns,” starring David and Tamela Mann.
The husband and wife team play the sanctified talkin’, uncoordinated dressin’ Leroy Brown and his quiet, devoted daughter Cora, (whose mother is the well-known character Madea). Prior to their amazing rise to stardom with the popular Perry, the couple had gained attention singing with “Kirk Franklin and the Family” and working with gospel playwright David Talbert.
Mann, told The Belle Report, “We are excited about what God is doing!”
About the Browns
The Mann’s have spent two decades touring the nation spreading the word of God through music and theater. From their humble beginnings in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area where they first met and formed their singing group Humble Hearts, to overcoming seemingly insurmountable personal struggles including poverty and a brief period of homelessness, they have become one of the most successful husband and wife performing duos in the gospel world today.
This down to earth couple believe their trials have brought them closer to each other and to God. Their career highlights include touring the country with gospel sensation Kirk Franklin, releasing several self-produced gospel albums, performing with Tyler Perry in a number of his hit stage plays.
