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?

That episode where Calvin got shot had me crying so loving that sexy Calvin
This show getting replaced by for better or worst… bad idea, too much drama in that show so stupid , not funny and I bet the ending is when they get divorce and get back together at the end.
This caannot be true. Finally when they got some good stuff on tv they have to cacnel for what? Bring back HoP.
HoP is like the word of god in sitcom orm. FBoW is so borg bring House of Payne and Meet the Brown.
Dont end the show … Curtis is so funny ! I love the show
Do not end House of Payne. “For Better Or Worse” is not all that interesting to me and other views. Keep House of Payne on the air. It’s so real and true. It mixes reality and helps everyone understand the real life in a better way. The word of God is expressed in all episode, especially through the character of Ella Payne. Keep this show going. It’s far more better.
i lov the house of paynes calvin is so cute. keep the show going
We love House of Payne, each series has a message and it is very inspiring to our family. even the kids enjoy it. Please let’s keep this going. Families need these type of shows to keep them encouraged.It is truly a blessing.
It was upsetting to hear of the show cancellation. Me and my family love this show. Please keep this show going.We look forward on Fridays to watching the House of Payne.
I love House of Payne I dont like For better or worse
I am truly a Tyler Perry fan. My family Friday TV night would be incomplete without The House of Payne.
THIS SHOW IS ONE OF THE BEST. WE LOVE IT. YOU GUYS KEEP IT VERY INTERESTING. PLEASE DONT TAKE IT OFF THE AIR, THANKS MARGIE
This show is so special to me! It never has to end as far as I’m concerned!
I love House of Payne; it is much better than “for better or worse”. The acting is far superior and it mixes life with the Word of God. I love it!!! kudos to you Tyler Perry
I love the show. I think it should stay on the air. What will I do without the Paynes. 🙁
