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?
“Please, please,please; do not take House of Payne off the air! I look forward to see the next show every week! The show is wonderful and all the actors on the show does a wonderful job is being funny doing funny time and sad doing the sad times. I can relate to the actors in a lot of scenes that’s showed on House of Payne. When Calvin got shot, when his wife was dancing and her daughter was shocked to see her mother dancing ike that and her mother said “you don’t know me”! There are several scenes that I… Read more »

if ur going to end it at least a couple more episode to end that divorce!!
i dont think the series should end it been showing for a long time i think it just ended at the wrong time he should have had some more because if they are getting a divorce they should show more whats going to happend how there going to react about it will they go through with the divorce and how everybody else feels so no it should not come off at least put it on another program!!!
Tyler has brought laughter to our culture for years on stage. Then he started the sitcoms and progressed to making movies. It seems everytime we get a successful show, it’s canceled. It is a tragedy to cancel this show. Our had great success and it was rooted in the truth. Tyler should move to a different network or start his own network and bring girlfriends, meet the browns, house of and many ornery successful black shows to his network. A network where creativity will alway s be welcomed. Fridays will be empty.
I am very sad that the show had to end, I pray that they do not take it off the air. I just hate the way that they had to end it with Miranda leaving Calvin it was so sad I really thought they would make it. Hopefully, they will continue the show and will get to see just that!
What’s really shocking the most was the series finale of House of Payne. In the final episode, Calvin and Miranda were supposed to show up to celebrate their anniversary with his parents and CJ and Janine. Instead, Miranda demands a divorce. If you ask me, the show definitely had a cliff hanger ending. I wanna know if Calvin and Miranda actually decide to divorce or not. The only reason was that they were heading for a divorce before, but made up on the elevator.
I don’t think this show should have ended!I think it still had alot of gas left.I agree with Tasha P Tyler should pull out of TBS.I would think all he brings to the table he would have alittle more sayso in what decisions are being made at TBS! Now what due we watch on Friday nights?It was a great show and will be missed!!!
I feel the same way as others ,this show has touched many lives in different ways.We all know that we wait till end week to watch these shows and even record them with the dvr .If they want to end the sitcom for no real reason but why! whats wrong with the show ?really we are here already in an struggle to success,but will never overcome it no matter what happens ..People like tyler perry,oprah and many more celebs,samuel jackson,morgan freeman and many more are the reason we get up in the morning and work etc. why ruin that for… Read more »
Sorry to see the house of pain go off the air I’m very disappointed I hope another network picks up the show. I agree with tarsha go to Oprah network please. That will definitely give Oprah what he needs to boost her ratings. Sorry guys gonna miss the whole cast especially Curtis.
I am sorry that it has to end, it shouldn’t end. I couldn’t wait to the end of the week to sit down to see what happens next to the Payne’s. Please come back!
i really hope the show is not really ending i have watch that show faithful is day one keep them coming.
omg never seen that coming the ending of a sitcom that was designed for all ages and race wish there could be more to come didnt like the fact that calvin and miranda marriage ended and they kept me knowing A Family that prays together have bad times and good times but they stay together. love the cast of house of payne.
I would definitely sign a petition to bring the shows back…. this is ridiculous. Any positive show that is put on air gets cancelled… I bet if they were up there fighting, shooting and cursing it would have a great tv life… I say Tyler Perry should move all his shows… go to another network… Hell go to Oprah’s network…. So done with TBS
I have never been s for better or worst fan. House of Payne needs to come back. I have to know what happens to Calvin and Miranda. Well hopefully we can all do something to bring the show back just like we dud “The Game”
