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?
It was totally upsetting how Miranda demanded a divorce after Calvin tries to throw a big suprise for their anniversary. It was already bad enough that Malik and Jazmine weren’t in it to bring the show to its closure.
How very upsetting! How can you end a series that way! There was nothing settled. No idea what happens to the rest of the characters! What a great way to loose viewers TBS!!!!
Horrible way to end the show. But then again, real life problems aren’t always dealt with easily. Good show though. Loved every episode I saw! Wish we could have seen what happened with the barber shop gang as well as the kids.
Come on, WTF is this how we get treated TBS, for being loyal fans? Is this how we get treated for supporting your station? I know we put a lot of money in your pocket and Mr Perry’s over the years from watching this show. Can we get some love back, I mean, PLEASE! come on with that bull. Last night was just crazy. Unless Mr. Perry has something up his sleeve, I don’t see how you plan to keep us interested in anything else you put on. Because we see how you treat loyalty. We are not stupid we… Read more »
Tyler Perry you have to bring back House of Payne It cannot end that way you left it open for another season. It is my favorite show and for it to end that way is very disappointing
This is by far the worst ending of a series EVER. Even worst then Hawthorne.
I am a little miffed that HOP ended the way it did. I hope Mr. Perry did not plan it this was because that was horrible. Miranda leaves and Calvin throws roses at the door…..that’s it?! HOP is too great a show to end on such a cliff hanger…Mr Perry and TBS you should really go back to the drawing board and get HOP back on the air…this was unsatisfactory to say the least. TBS…you should be ashamed.
I love the show HOP ,I looked forward to seeing it every Friday.I hate to see it end like this.It is a much better show than,For Better or Worse.Please let it come back to see if Miranda just left,or if she took the children ? .
I don’t want it to end specialy the way it ended…you need to bring it back please……..
Need to know what happened with Mr payne going back to the firehouse…and what happens to Calvin and mirranda. You can’t end a show Like that….
What the hell with that ending? Im like really she just up and leave she isn’t a real woman that have her man’s back and matter what happen. It was sad seeing clavin sitting their like that. Tbs is wrong for taking house of payne off the air just like they were wrong for taking meet the browns off the air. Every since house of payne was first on air i fall in love with it and i couldn’t wait until friday to watch it. I love all of tyler perry’s work but really y’all think im going to look… Read more »
OMG…this is a great REAL life show, please don’t cancel it Mr.Perry!!! House of Payne is many of my friends and family favorite show!!! Move “for better or worse” it’s not that great…no offense intended Mr.Perry (smile). Please keep HOUSE OF PAYNE!!
Bring back house of payne. I wonna see what miranda was thinking when she left calvin
I was very disappointed with the series finale. I didn’t like the ending so many questions. Also, there was no closure on Jasmine/Malik.
tyler perry did not wrap his show up by not bringing back the entire cast and if you are going off the air you should show some kind of closure
I don’t like how this show ended. There is a lot of stuff that could happen in that show. I watched it every week. The show for better or worse I have tried to get interest in, but it don’t do anything for me. The family don’t even seem real.
Each weekday evening @ 7:30 pm EST, I watch the reruns of the house of payne; and in addition to this, I look forward to watching the new episodes on friday at 8 & 8:30 pm EST on TBS. I have truly enjoyed this show for the past eight years, but I trully feel slighted during this last episode. The manner in which the final episode ended is very disappointing. I would love to see what happened with Calvin & Miranda’s children. Ella, Curtis, CJ & Janine did not have the opportunity to react to the divorce announcement. I would… Read more »
