The biggest issue Tyler Perry critics have is that his characters perpetuate black stereotypes, so to even things out Tyler Perry's new show "For Better or For Worse" does the opposite. In an open letter to fans Tyler writes about the importance of positive Black images on TV...
Tyler writes,
I am so excited about, the world premier of For Better or Worse [last Friday] at 10 o’clock eastern. For the next 5 weeks, this show is going to take you on a ride through some things that are going to blow your mind.
I wrote every episode of this show myself, with the intention of speaking to relationships like never before. Especially, TRUST issues! If you’ve ever been through something in a relationship where the trust was violated, I promise you, this show will help speak to you. If you’re single and looking for love, we cover that too. If you’re in a relationship and you want more, but your partner doesn’t want to give you more, it’s all in this show.
I also wanted to put people on television that are doing really well, that own their own businesses and are good parents. I think it’s so important that we see ourselves doing well on TV. It will inspire our children. I put all I’ve learned into this one.
