Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr.’s CBS Sitcom ‘Poppa’s House’ Charms and Falters: TV Review


Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. star as a father/son duo trying to navigate life in CBS' latest sitcom "Poppa's House."

Working in middle management at his father-in-law JJ’s (Geoffrey Owens) foam-roller company, Junior has been forced to put his film-directing dreams on the back burner.
