TBS' "Are We There Yet?": No, not quite

"Tyler Perry's House of Payne" and "Meet the Browns" get a nice companion piece tonight with "Are We There Yet?" (TBS, 9 tonight). And I don't mean that in a good way.

Like the shows it's sandwiched between, "Are We There Yet" offers mildly amusing jokes in a family setting; it's harmless, family friendly and family affirming.

And I didn't laugh out loud once.

What to Watch on Wednesday: "Curb's" basic cable debate

Ghost Hunters Academy (9pm, Syfy) - Eight new cadets vie for one opening at TAPS, but one contestant prefers to work alone during a probe of Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville. Read my take on the whole ghost hunting thing...

Are We There Yet? (9pm, TBS) - The premiere of a new sitcom directed and produced by Ice Cube, based on his movie of the same title. It stars Terry Crews, who was terrific as the dad in "Everybody Hates Chris." Check out Adrienne's review.

Curb Your Enthusiasm (10pm, TVGN) - If you don't have HBO and you've never watched "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on DVD, you can now start with the first episode from Season One of this hilarious, unconventional sitcom from Larry David, the co-creator of "Seinfeld." "Curb" fans may wonder how the heck they are going to show this on basic cable without ruining it. I was skeptical too, but it totally works for me. Plus, at the end of each episode, Susie Essman hosts a discussion on the moral crisis or social faux pas consumed Larry. Tonight's discussion panel includes Jon Hamm and Patti Stanger (pictured). 

In Plain Sight (10pm, USA) - A woman wants to escape her mob family but a secret from her past may keep her out of the Witness Protection program. Laura San Giacomo guest stars.
