Speaking before her death, [Omari Hardwick] comments on working with Whitney Houston, giving light to a less-readily seen side of her, while speaking about her with great reverie.

TBS cancels ‘Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns,’ gives ‘For Better or Worse’ 35 episodes
After a test run of 10 episodes last last year, TBS has given “Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse” a 35-episode pick up while officially retiring “Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns.”
