Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns Hits Syndication

Tyler Perry’s TBS sitcom, Meet the Browns, which already has over 40 episodes logged, will start airing syndicated episodes on several major networks next fall. The syndication company Debmar-Mercury’s deal places the sitcom in more than 70 percent of the nation for a September debut on major station groups, including Fox, Tribune, CBS and Cox.

The TV series stems from a play that Tyler Perry first debuted in 2004, which spawned a feature film by the same name. Browns is the No. 1 series on TBS this season among adults aged 18-to-49. Traditional syndication deals usually occur four to five years after its debut. The syndication deal for Meet the Browns is scheduled to happen 15 months after its premiere on TBS.
