Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns

Brown gets way more than he bargained for as he tries to follow Pop Brown’s dying wish that he “take care of the old”, by opening a retirement home for seniors. Husband & wife Will (a doctor) and Sasha (a nurse), try to help Brown, but Brown is overwhelmed when the residents of a nearby seniors home are brought to the house after a fire. Robin Robinson, the owner of the home, angrily takes back her residents, but leaves Brown with the two most troublesome: Colonel Cleophus Jackson and Miss Edna (who is still very in touch with her sexuality, like “Blanche” in Golden Girls). Miss Daisy (an aging B-movie actress who lives in the past) also arrives, having been dropped off by mistake.

Brown has been arrested at the airport for saying “bomb” and goes to jail. While he’s in jail, Sasha and Cora interview people for the handyman position. When Will comes home with Brown, he talks about his experience in jail. Another handyman, Jesus, comes by to interview, fixes things around the house and gets the job. While in jail, Brown tells everyone he met someone named London Sheraton, a celebrity heiress who was in jail for a DUI conviction. Brown tells her that she can stay at the house with them and serve her community service there. When she arrives at the house, she acts like a complete diva.

Carmen asks Sasha and Will to be foster parents, and we meet Brianna (15) and Joaquin (8). Will and Sasha hesitate because they are so busy with their work, but Cora offers to help by letting the kids stay at Brown’s house as long as they need to. We see the first signs that Brianna is very troubled. Precocious Joaquin fits right in at the house. London and Miss Daisy have a Battle of the Divas.

The Colonel’s daughter, Karen, comes to see him. The Colonel isn’t too happy about this. But this gives Brown the idea to plan a Friends and Family day so all of the residents can have visitors. The Colonel is upset with Karen because she put him in a retirement home. She explains, her reason for doing so was because he seemed to become depressed and withdrawn from the world since the death of her mother. The Colonel finally comes around and they make up. Tension mounts between Will and Sasha as she expresses her desire to start a family. Will is not interested in planning a family any time soon. After not being able to locate Miss Daisy or Ms. Edna’s family, Brown decides to have the boys from the Fraternity house come over to keep the residents occupied and entertained, with a Step show.

After learning that her childhood friend has died broke and alone, Ms. Edna becomes very depressed and says she’s lost the will to live. Cora is shocked and gets the residents to do a “This is Your Life” night to show Edna just how appreciated and cherished she is. Brown mistakenly thinks Jesús is gay after overhearing that Will found him “in the closet” (Jesús was in the closet because it was the only quiet place he could find to study for school).

Brianna’s very pregnant teenage friend, Tamika, comes to the house needing a place to stay. Brown ends up having to deliver the baby himself. Miss Daisy is missing and everyone spends all day looking for her. It turns out she was making a hip-hop video.
