After 254 episodes and eight seasons, this evening marks the end of Tyler Perry’s House of Payne TV series on TBS.
In April 2011, the cable channel 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 2011, Perry posted on his Facebook page that TBS had ordered even more episodes. In December, the cast and crew had a wrap party that celebrated the completion of 254 episodes. We now know that was the last.
The series finale of House of Payne is called “All’s Well” and it caps off a very successful run. In fact, it’s the longest-running sitcom with a predominently African-American cast — surpassing The Cosby Show (201 episodes), Family Matters (215 installments), and The Jeffersons (253 episodes).
Still, it can be hard to say goodbye, even after a very long run. What do you think? Are you sorry to see House of Payne go? Should TBS have ended it? What will you miss?

house of Payne should not have ended…tbs you r wrong about this one. for better or worse sucks
I truly cannot believe the shiw is really over. I means the Paynes are trulyba big part of my families life. I wishthe best to all of the actors and actresses. But I hope they bring the show back at least run until the end of the year. Well best of luck to Tyler, House of Paynes will truly be missed in the Africian American communities. Thanks for all of the wonderful episodes the show will be missed.
It was a little shakey at first but The House of Payne has become an enjoyable series that I loved to watch and for the network to make the decision to cancel the series and continue with For Better or Worst is a terrible decision. The show makes no sense sometimes the dialogue just get ridiculous and for it to be believable that that grown man is their son insults the veiwers intelligence. I do however love the actress that plays the housekeeper but the rest of it is a bust!!! By the way the finale of HOP needs to… Read more »
Bring the show back!!!!!!!!!
I know that all good things must come to a end but I really hate that it had to end. I really enjoyed watching the show especially on Friday nights.
I wish they would bring it back, i loved this show it allowed me to teach my daughter about real life situation with more depth than just talking to her and seeing her favorite actors like chyna and larramie doing things that she has thought of and seeing how things turned out for them. for us it opens a way to have a real conversation about things and there isnt another show that has been able to do that since the cosby’s. please bring it back!!
Correction

Very sad to see the show end the way it did, Tyler Perry please bring “House of Payne” back so all your viewers will have a better understanding of the way it ended. The show is funny, emotional, full of excitement and invigorating. For better or worse is horrible!
What a horrible ending, what a shame.. Very dissapointed! And the new show is terrible!!
Please bring them back we don’t have many black shows that are funny n fun to watch.
