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?
Tyler Perry should be ashamed of himself, ending the show like that. It was the worst ending in TV show history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont think that tyler perry should have ended the show exspeacially ending it when calvin and mirand split. he has to bring it back or else all of thet work would be completely pointless… i hope they bring the show back
WOW! I DVR HOP all the time. I am VERY upset that the show is being cancelled. I SO hope they will reconsider and revive the show. The story lines were getting better and For Better of for Worse is not a better show. TBS, you should have thought more carefully. Tyler has a strong following, and this will not sit well with people.
I was very disappointed by the ending – it was the worst I have ever seen. HOP is a great show and the characters are wonderful – please bring it back! The ending was dis-respectful to the characters and to all of us faithful watchers! We need more seasons to see Curtis regain his role as chief and what happens with Jasmine and Malik. I’ll admit the Miranda/Calvin fighting was getting old – but the way they ended it with Miranda leaving made her look weak and selfish!
WHAT THE HELL? TBS IS GOING TO LOOSE OUT WITH THE ENDING OF SUCH A GREAT AFRIAN AMERICAN SHOW.
I have to agree with most of the comments and say I am disappointed as well. First, I had no idea it was ending until the same day it aired. Second, it abruptly ended with dysfunction. Lastly, I feel the show was positive and fulfilling so it should not end. I didn’t mind my child watching it because it had a good message and I believe the series still had room to grow. My vote is for it to come back.
No it shouldn’t end I really hate how the episode ended. Miranda is really selfish in my opinion he tried his best but she waited until the anniversary to end it kind horrible and she is kind of stuck up to. I think a couple more of episodes is needed to see how calvin takes it.
I hate to see The Payne’s come to a end. I enjoy all of the Tyler Perry shows, and I am sad to see them end. I have 3 generations that watch these shows. They are good clean shows the whole family can watch. Shame on you TBS for canceling this great show.
I am very sad that that was the last episode.i love house of Wayne they had alot to offer on their shows. I’ve learned several things from all of them.i hope and pray that they come back. Ps my Friday nights are going to be boring!!!
Hopefully this is the end of the show onTBS and it is going to another network. Hopefully Oprah can put both of the shows on OWN, she needs the viewers. It is said they only kept it on to pass The Jeffersons and make history. It is a blessed and powerful show that actually bring families together. HOP should not have been cancelled. Tyler needs to explain why the show ended like that.
I just left Tyler’s website leaving a message…. Everyone Please go to Tyler’s WEBSITE and leave him a message….(MAYBE IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE) Im so upset I hope they can being it back FOR @ at least one more season…..http://www.tylerperry.com
That wasn’t a good ending of HOP!!!!!! Omg they could have done better, I’m so disappointed
I am upset 2 find out they r canceling house of Payne 2 make way 4 better or worse. That show is so uninteresting and lame. Storyline and characters are weak. Leave house of Payne and give floyd his own show.
Mr Perry, your such a great writer. How can you possible believe the ending to HOP was good. How can you leave your fans hanging like that. There’s no closure. Please tell me you chose this path as a means to bring HOP back. I hope so, because the ending was a GREAT DISAPOINTMENT …..
I am very sad that that’s the end of House of Payne. This was a show that I looked forward to every week and at times every day to make me happy and laugh. I actually wish uncle Curtis was my real uncle. He is the funniest person on TV. I know he is talented enough to be on another show but its not gonna be the same without uncle Curtis. Something needs to happen to bring it back but if not, MUCH LOVE uncle Curtis and the rest of House of Payne.
