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?

Please please please!Don’t take house of pain off the air.It brings smiles and happiness to my life after a hard and trying week at work.Can’t we keep good african american movies on the aire.Shame on you tbs.
My family and I have more than enjoyed the House of Payne. It brings a reality check to the home pertaining to issues that the average African American family faces. It has become a part of our lives. It would be a dissappointment for this series to be cancelled.
This is a great series and I will be sad for it to go. Can it go to another network?
I love this show and will not watch TBS after they cancel this show this is the best show by Tyler Perry!!! How dare you TBS!!! Love You Curtis!!!!
House of Payne has been one of the best tv shows in years, and if its taken off the air, it will be a sad day for many families that look forward to enjoying Tyler Perry’s talents that are expressed through his characters he created in the House of Payne and Meet the Browns. We love U Tyler Perry, from Middle TN.
I am a very big fan of all of Tyler Perry’s movies and TV shows. But my fav is House of Payne. I make sure that on Fridays I dont work past 7pm and I am off by at least 10 Mon-Fri cuz where I am it comes on at 10pm.
Tyler Perry has done a great job for this show and I don’t want to see that it’s cancelled
This show means alot to me ands my family. We have family time in watching this show. It is very sucessful and it brings alot of family together
It saddens me to hear that the House of Payne has been cancelled! It is important that black families are portrayed on television. The comedy deals with real life situations and provides positive messages and insights. This sitcom is a confirmation that is ok for families to be a little dysfunctional. It reminds us that our faith in GOD, our love for ourselves and our families matter the most.
I have been watching the house of pain for a long time. I like the house of pain. So i am glad that it is still going to be on .
Please don’t cancel our favorite show! House of Payne offers good family values with a whole lot of laughter. There are so many other shows that should be canceled instead. Save House of Payne!!!!! What would Jesus Do????
I am really disappointed that their taking off one of the best comedy sitcoms. House of payne brings laughter to my soul, and i am really going to miss it. I do not think that they should replace it with Better or for worse.
I rush home from work every Friday to catch the house of Payne , I would really hate it if was to be cancelled. Please don’t take it off the air.
Every friday I look forward to watching House of Payne. I love this show so much. I would have been so mad if you had killed my Calvin and i would hate to see the show end.
Please oh please dont take away a show that offers laughter and takes us to a place where values mean alot!
