What did everybody think of The Big House??? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This show is not so bad at all. I'd never heard of Kevin Hart, but he has personality and is energetic enough to carry a show and the supporting players are good. The heart of the show seems to be the relationship between he and his Aunt Tina. In the episode that was on last night she said she was the head of the house (huh? What does that make her husband?) Hart seems to be basing this show on his real life. Faizon is amusing but I still think he's too old to be Arnetia's son.

As for the 2 earrings a lot of guys wear that style. It doesn't mean they're gay it means they consider themselves to be playboys.

The NY Daily News critic compared Hart to Chris Tucker, but I can't see Tucker doing a TV series. At least not a family show like this.

Still this show is on in a poor timeslot, so enjoy it, tape it while you can because I doubt it'll last. Maybe UPN or WB might pick it up.

I didn't see Kevin Hart doing a show like this either, after seeing his movie Paper Soldiers. Big House is more of a safe, family show that what I would have expected. First time I ever saw Kevin was in Paper Soldiers and thought his character was real funny, maybe some of that will come out on The Big House if it lasts long enough. Rent Paper Soldiers and check out his energy there, he carried that movie.

Way better than "Married to the Kellys" -- and if one of them is picked up -- it better be this.

I like this a lot more than "The Tracy Morgan Show" -- and Ive never even heard of Kevin Hart, whereas I really liked Tracy Morgan on SNL

this show is not funny first of all. big house is just garbage. this show should be cancelled right away before people start getting frustrated again.

I like this show, but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets axed because of low ratings. Kevin Hart said in an interview that the show was supposed to have started up like a year ago, but they kept pushing it back. He said things happen for a reason. Well, if this gets axed that might be a sign that the actors need to be doing something else with their time.

Also, the guy who plays the youngest child has very little dialogue I notice. It seems he's just around to justify having Kevin live in the cellar with Faizon Love.

It is weird that they have that character so completely under-developed. If this show lasts, he may end up disappearing like Judy on "Family Matters." They don't seem to have anything for him to do.

That kid never acted on tv before, so maybe his skills are limited or something.

I read that this was like a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in reverse. It is! The Fresh Prince was good and this is bad! Not Funny!

Benny Hill · 04-26-2004, 01:39 PM

this show is not like fresh prince of bel-air.
big house does not make you laugh, this show makes you puke. i told you guys. this new show is garbage and thats that.
every character on big house should just quit because they are not amusing, they are so annoying and just a waste of space on abc just like all the other new shows that have been on this channel ever since 1996. Abc is not like what it used to be.
