“Love Thy Neighbor” Kills It For Own; Second Highest Debut Behind “The Haves and The Have Nots”


Can’t stop. Won’t stop.
We told you earlier in the week that on Tuesday, Tyler Perry’s The Haves and The Have Nots debuted on OWN as the highest rated debut ever for the network. It pulled in a whopping 1.77 million viewers in its debut episode, and 1.8 million viewers watched the second episode during it’s 10 p.m. episode.

 But that show might have some competition holding the top spot on OWN, because another new Tyler Perry Show, Love Thy Neighbor, pulled in almost just as many viewers as The Haves and The Have Nots. On Wednesday, Love Thy Neighbor premiered with two back-to-back half hour episodes between 9 and 10 p.m., and in that time, the first episode pulled in 1.65 million total viewers, and its second episode raked in 1.8 million viewers. All in all, the show came in as the second highest rated series debut in the history of the network, coming right behind The Haves and The Have Nots.

If you weren’t already aware, here’s the synopsis for Love Thy Neighbor in case you’re interested in tuning in next week:

Love Thy Neighbor” is set at The Love Train Diner, a family run restaurant where every day the menu serves up good food, great laughs, valuable life lessons and a whole lot of love.  Diner owner and feisty family matriarch Hattie Mae Love (Patrice Lovely, “A Madea Christmas”) has her hands full not only managing her customers but her family drama, too.
If you’re feeling it, as a reminder, the show comes on at 9 p.m. on Wednesdays on OWN. I didn’t get to check out the show this week, but it seems like enough people held it down for all of us. If you watched, what did you think of the show?



Oprah helped Tyler when he was just getting started, today he is helping Oprah get her studio off the ground.

Indeed, you can never tell the extent the good you do today will take you to. The Bible was correct when it said “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9
