Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse is an American comedy-drama series created and produced by Tyler Perry, which aired for two seasons (2011–12) on TBS and another four (2013–17) on Oprah Winfrey's OWN channel.
The series is a television adaptation of Perry's films Why Did I Get Married? (2007) and Why Did I Get Married Too? (2010). It stars Michael Jai White and Tasha Smith as Marcus and Angela Williams, and is based around their over-the-top antics. It also follows two other couples: Joseph (Jason Olive) and Leslie (Crystle Stewart), and Richard (Kent Faulcon) and Keisha (Kiki Haynes).
This show provides examples of:
- Catchphrase: Angela says "Marcus!!" so much that it has become a
meme for fans of the show. - Jerkass: Keisha is rude and an overall bitch.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Angela may be rude, loud, and obnoxious, but there are times that show her heart is in the right place.
- Mouthy Kid: Dominique towards Angela. Like mother, like daughter.
- No Indoor Voice: Angela is known to be very loud.
- Oh, Crap!: Poor Marcus has this reaction sometimes when he hears Angela angrily shout his name at unexpected times.
- Only Sane Man: Marcus takes this role.
- Sassy Black Woman: Angela, of course.
- Womanchild:
- Angela is loud, immature, and obnoxious.
- Keisha is petty, childish, and loves to get into drama as if she is a teenaged girl.
