Tyler Perry’s ‘Madea’s One Big Happy Family’ 2010 Tour
Have you ever noticed that all of Tyler Perry’s works have “Tyler Perry’s” in front of the title?
Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.
Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns.
Tyler Perry’s Diary Of A Mad Black Women.
It’s not that Tyler Perry isn’t talented or successful enough to have his name possess the title (he’s one of Hollywood’s highest paid talents), it’s just he doesn’t seem to have the star power or the tenure (yet). About the only time you see a name possess a title is when it involves Disney (Disney’s A Christmas Carol) or a famous dead author (Shakespeare’s Hamlet or H.G. Wells’ War of the World).
The Tyler Perry Syndrome came to our attention after seeing a poster selling tickets for Tyler Perry’s Madea’s One Big Happy Family. That stage production is currently touring the U.S. through May.
Land of Punt began to wonder what it would be like if more productions had the creator’s name possessing the title. Not obvious franchises like George Lucas’ Star Wars or Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek, but other works whose originator is far less known…
