<p>Despite the low viewership for Oprah's OWN network, the execs have added a lot on their lineup for next season, including two Tyler Perry series: a drama called <em>The Haves and the Have Nots</em> and half-hour comedy <em>Love Thy Neighbor</em>. And so, so much more! (In case that wasn't enough.)<br />
<!--more--><br />
According to <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/own-greenlights-4-unscripted-seires-sets-premiere-date-for-tyler-perry-sitcoms-tca/">Deadline's report</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>OWN announced four new unscripted series for 2013, including docu-series <em>Raising Whitley</em>, about comedienne Kym Whitley and her friends; <em>Dogfellas</em>, about a mobster-turned-dog groomer; and <em>Blackboard Wars</em>, about the efforts to improve a troubled New Orleans high school. OWN also has given a series order to <em>Golden Sisters</em>, the special/backdoor pilot about three frisky octogenarian sisters that aired last month.</p></blockquote>
<p>We're not even kidding about setting our DVRs for <em>Dogfellas</em> and <em>Golden Sisters </em>right now. (How that's not already in some trademark war with <em>Golden Girls</em>, we have no idea.) <em>Blackboard Wars</em> could be great, but it could also be not be seen by anyone, as OWN has been trying to crawl out of the ratings rubble <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oprah-winfrey-network-own-iyanla-vanzant-377725">since its launch in 2011.</a></p>
