In one of last Friday’s episodes of Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, titled “God Bless the Paynes,” Calvin (Lance Gross) was shot by the man who’d earlier harassed Miranda (Keshia Knight Pulliam). He’s rushed to the hospital but his fate is unknown.
We’ve received a few emails from readers who believe that next week’s episodes will be the end of the series and the death of Calvin. While House of Payne has been “cancelled,” there are a lot more episodes still to come.
In April 2011, TBS announced that they were ending the venerable sitcom, in part to make way for Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse. At that time, we understood the final episode total for House of Payne to be 220 installments.
In late September, Perry posted on his Facebook page that TBS had ordered 42 more episodes. In December, the cast and crew had a wrap party that celebrated the completion of 254 episodes. It’s unclear if they’ll be going back into production now that the holidays are over but, based on the numbers we have, it seems like they still have at least eight more installments to make.
In the meantime, we do know that this Friday’s episodes of House of Payne aren’t the last. Two new episodes will air each Friday night for the next six weeks. Episodes 223 and 224 will air on February 17th and that will leave about 30 episodes left in the series.
In the meantime, you should know that Calvin does not die from his gunshot wounds. He lives and, at least in the next couple episodes, has to worry about paying his hospital bills because he doesn’t have insurance.
What do you think? Are you a fan of House of Payne? Are you glad to know there are more episodes on the way?

I love this sitcom, I watch it everyday in the afternoon, and the evening shows. I have some depression in my life, and when I feel the sadness, the only thing that gets me threw it at the time is anything that tyler perry makes, and this sitcom is one of the funniest, and real tv comedy that just makes me laugh, and smile. I just love it. Dont cancel , its great
brittany blanding
Mr.Perry why haven’t you made a movie out of The house of Payne
I love the show, after work each day look forward to watch the show. We need more………..
i love this show and want more of it.i think that it wouldnt hurt to give palmer his own show also.this man is so funny.i love mr.brown toust wish that u could give him and cora another storyline.
I know that this may not mean much, but For Better or Worse is horrible! To take off House of Payne to make room for that nonsense is in my opinion a huge mistake. The writers for House of Payne are in a serious groove. The characters are coming together nicely, the storyline is inspirational and encouraging, and it is a well rounded show. If it must go, it will be greatly missed.
PLEASE RENEW House of Payne!! This ‘sitcom’ is soo surreal, it’s scary. ANd funny at the same time. It depicts some of the real life events and situations that happen or affct the lives of African American/Black families. ANd tell the truth, all races watch it and love it .- that is if they tell the TRUTH!
loL!!
Do not take away “House of Payne”. It is a beautiful sitcom.
don’t take house of payne off the air we love the humor and the stories on this show.
Please don’t take away House of Payne. House of Payne is one of the most family oriented tv shows around. Tyler Perry surely knows how to do things right.
Im just happy that the show aint over.
House of Payne is a great representation of a mid class African American family with trials and tribulations, examples of keeping their faith , uplifting one another , loving each other and at the end of the day are able to find comedy in their sometimes “family madness”.
Please , please don’t cancel this series. You can’t imagine the many people black and white , whose lives these episodes have greatly touched. Kudos to Mr. Tyler Perry and his staff.
HOUSE OF PAYNE…….may it reign for many more seasons.
I enjoy HOP and hope that it doesn’t get cancelled. The storylines are good, and much better than that “For better or Worse” that is coming on. We get enough of our shows taken off, give us ths one, at least!
Please don’t take the House of Payne off the air! This is the only black family orientated program we have now…..this is something that I can sit down and watch and laugh and cry with my mom, grandma, my children, and my grandbabies…..we LOVE the PAYNES!
Hey Guys-
One of my family members actually works for Turner- odds are the show isn’t doing it’s justice for ratings. Ratings = Money and ROI.
