    This show is retarded the children are spoiled and they dont even do anything especially jo jo he is ungrateful and selfish and too cocky he always want some money but isnt doing really anything to earn it he is irrisponsible along with angela , she is childish with jo jo but vanessa is right for her age it seems like she is 26 yrs old by the way she act and diggy is ugly with angela and This show is retarded the children are spoiled and they dont even do anything especially jo jo he is ungrateful and selfish and too cocky he always want some money but isnt doing really anything to earn it he is irrisponsible along with angela , she is childish with jo jo but vanessa is right for her age it seems like she is 26 yrs old by the way she act and diggy is ugly with angela and jo jo russy isnt cute either justine is pretty and vanessa is very pretty also the new baby is real cute the children need dicipline you always give them what they want but ever thought of just giving your kids what they need this show needs improvement bc it sucks and idc if anybody disagrees with this really you might not care what i think but i also don't care what you think.… Expand

    First of all, just wanted to say that I enjoy looking at this show with my husband and my daughter. People are entitled to their opinion concerning the show, but to start calling people things outside of their names is very immature and you need to grow up! Regardless of what you think of Rev. Run he is still a man of God and you have to be very careful what you say about him and his family.

    A great clean humorous show for audience of all age to view, commend rev displaying real father luv, at the end of the inspiring life message (such as conduct yourself as orchestra an) shot out to vanessa, they always said " what you put in, thats what get out " stay positive and hardworking someday y our own magazine will be bigger than vogue.

    i luv rev. run and his family. i don't agree with some of the decisions they make for their kids, but parenting is about trial and error. yes, the kids are spoiled and that's okay. if you're able to provide for you family and have them want for nothing, then that's what you should do. i do agree that they should know the value of a dollar and run doesn't spend all i luv rev. run and his family. i don't agree with some of the decisions they make for their kids, but parenting is about trial and error. yes, the kids are spoiled and that's okay. if you're able to provide for you family and have them want for nothing, then that's what you should do. i do agree that they should know the value of a dollar and run doesn't spend all his money on worthless things. he has the money, why not spend it and splurge once in awhile for what his family wants. by the kids watching their parents and uncle russell, they will be business minded and have their own instead of working for someone else. the whole simmons family is about business and if they weren't it would be proven because they wouldn't have what they have today. all families aren't perfect, so for those that think rev. is a bad father, have you taken a look in the mirror?… Expand

    This show is terrible. Scenes are perfectly blocked so that each character in a room is on camera, and their body language gives away the fact that they were posed. There's even some waterworks on cue. It's a moving catalog with Daddy as cash machine. that has a lame consumerism-as-reward message.

    Run's House is horrible. He is nothing but a workhorse for his spoiled family. Watching this show really pointed out how much of a slave men are in this society to women. Diggy is ugly with that yellow face, that jerry curl, and those braces. So are his two brothers. Run does not owe his ex anything if she lives in a hovel that is HER problem. Run already spoils his nearly grown Run's House is horrible. He is nothing but a workhorse for his spoiled family.

Run needs to get some heart and tell his children and his wife to get jobs. Making shoes with DADDY's company is not much of an accomplishment at all. Sorry Run's house is for kids that don't understand life.… Expand

    I really like the show i recently started watching it so i can only make a few comments. First I would like to say his children are spoiled, his wife seem to thinks she can have anything she wants also but god showed her different. I also noticed his first wife is living like a bum, I mean damm didn't she get anything out the deal after all she is the mother of his children also.

    This show is crazy. It's realistic too. He's kids is NOT spoiled. Maybe Diggy but no. And what ya'll mean they ugly? They are not ugly. Rev. Run is a good dad. Ya'll just stuck on the Cosbie show and think that's how life is supposed to be. Sorri but Run's House is the closest reality t.v. has gotten to reality in a long time.

    Rev is as dumb as a box of rocks. He is using the religion angle as a tax break. His kids are spoiled monsters. His wife is a fat pig who seems to have spent to many hours under the hair dryer. I think it melted her brain.

    This show relates to how a house is really "Run." Having your kids damaging your house and cars like "Vive La Bam" is not true living! Having your kids curse you out while your wife has a food fight with the neighbors like "The Osbourne's" is not real! "Run's House" shows how a prosperous, religious African American Family should live. It stays true, therefore it's truly great.

    This show is awful. The kids are annoying little brats and Run has to be the worse father in history.

    I love this show. It is a family show that stresses the importance of family values, something that is really missing in today's television choices. This is the modern day Cosby Show.

    this show is a wonderful show...i remember watching the very first episode...i knew i would be hooked sinced then, most people want big fights and drama in a show to luv it....which is good...but this one is a catch ...they do have drama..but in a civil fashion.....tight show

    While watching Ozzy and Sharon was like peeking in on real-life Munsters, Run's House plays more like Full House--and feels just as dated. [14 Oct 2005, p.142]

    This is pretty tedious viewing.

    The show's traditional approach explains its appeal as well as its limits.
