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?
Bring back the house of pain a positive show
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! don’t take it off the air I love it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don’t let it be over.
I can’t handle another of my favorites just snatched off like tht again
I love House of Payne. It’s too bad they canceled. Why do they have to canel to ‘make room’ for another black sitcom?? Is there some ratio on networks that they can’t have too many african american shows at one time? I don’t understand that rationale. I wanted to know what happened to Calvin and Miranda also.
So Sad
THEY NEED TO BRING IT BACK!!!!!! I do like the show alot. The way it ended really stinks!!! Why did they have to end it that way? I’m SO not happy.
I think it sucks that u would take a great family show off air and look how it ended horrible with no detail on the ending of calvin and miranda the family doesnt even know what happened sucks sucks!!!!!!! Bring the show back!!!!! It just cant end like that.
Terribly dissappointed. The acting on For better or Worst is very ameteur compared to House of Payne. The ending was so abrupt. Didnt do it justice. I dont think for better or worst will go as far. bad call Tyler and TBS
REALLY??? they really ended the show like that?? there’s no conclusion, no one knows what happens after the family found out Miranda left Calvin!! I’m a little pissed at the,way it ended!! and for better or worse SUCKS BIGTIME!!!!
If this truly s the end of this great series, the last episode was awful!!
I need to know what happens with Calvin and Miranda!!! Dont CANCEL.. DONT TELL ME WE HAVE TO RALLY UP LIKE THE SHOW THE GAME JUST TO GET IT BACK ON THE AIR!!! HOUSE OF PAYNE CAST IS PHENOMENAL!!!
