I just realized something about Tyler Perry's dramatic TV content, and after watching that clip with the woman hitting her head with that awful acting.
Whether he realizes it or not......he is making Black Telenovelas or Black Soap Operas.
That chicks acting is basically a Latin American telenovela.
So not to say the content is "quality", but it's basically telenovela/soap opera for black audiences. It doesn't have to be Spike Lee level work, its designed for a particular audience that likes that type of content, the same way American soap operas and Latin telenovelas do.
