Meet the Browns is an American sitcom created and produced by playwright, director, and producer Tyler Perry. The show initially revolves around Mr. Brown running a senior citizen's home in Decatur, Georgia, with his daughter Cora Simmons, but as the show progresses, this idea is gradually phased out and it becomes a typical family sitcom about a multigenerational clan living under one roof. The show premiered on Wednesday, January 7, 2009 and finished its run-on November 18, 2011 on TBS.
