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?
i am very sad and mad that they are taking house of payne off the air it is 10 times better than for better or worse that show sucks and i wish that they would have a better ending you cant just have it hanging at least have one more episode so it will not hang if you all are smart enough and listien to your fans and make more episodes of it and take for better or worse off the air!!
I really didn’t agree with how the season/show ended! How can you just leave it like that!?! Come on TBS…At least give us an ending we can appreciate!
I also am sad to see HOUSE OF PAYNE end and did not like how they left it hanging with Calvin and Miranda. I have loved all 8 seasons of this show, it was funny and real and all the characters clicked together well. Curtis and Jazmine were my favorites, they made me laugh all the time. My favorite episode was when Ella had the flu and Curtis is in charge of the kitchen, i had tears running down my face. I still have that one saved on my DVR and watch it every so often. PLEASE BRING BACK HOUSE… Read more »
House of Payne was really a great show that touched on real life experience.I am really sad to see it leave and highly dissappointed on how things were left hanging between Calvin and Miranda.House of Payne was really a show that brought families together.My husband and I watched it every Friday night and we rarely watch the same tv sitcoms but we loveHouse of Payne.Please reconsider and bring it back if only to bring closure to Calvin and Miranda .
I am really disappointed the House of Payne is going off. I hoped it meant it would be changing channels hopefully that will be the case. I lost my father in Dec 2010 and my mom in May 2012. It’s so hard dealing with this and nothing seems to make me laugh these days. The only thing out of all tv shows that I could depend on to laugh would be from the House of Payne and Meet the Browns. They’re the only two shows that could always bring a smile and laugh. If at all possible please bring them… Read more »
I agree with my other fellow viewers. I did not like the way it ended please bring it back!
I am so diappointed that the House of Payne has been cancelled. My husband love’s that show. I love Ms. Ella and Curtis. We would love to know what is going to happen between Calvin (Lance Gross) and Miranda (Keshia Knight Pulliam). TBS put the show back on the air. (Fan)
I really enjoyed this show. Please bring it back. Will not be watching For Better or Worse.
I did not like the way you ended it!
I hated to see the series end and did not like the way it ended. There was no closure. Please bring it back. I have no interest in For Better Or Worse.
I am so disappointed that House of Payne is going off and very disappointed that “divorces” ends one of the marriage. For Better or Worse does not even come close to House of Payne. It was really a day to day episodes in people lives. In the end they always loved one another and stayed close as a family unit.
Please reconsider and put it back on TBS. All of your shows are great, but some just out weighs the others. Thanks again.
I’m sad to see House of Payne end. I look fowared to friday after along week at work to come home and watch something funny, it was very relaxing and to have a good laugh. And now we will never know what happen with Calvin (Lance Gross) and Miranda (Keshia Knight Pulliam)? So as been a good Tyler Perry fan, hope you will bring the House of Payne back to your fans. Now I’m waiting for the new series of Meet the Browns can not wait.
I think the show should not end. The cast members can carry episodes themselves for another seasons. I think it was working with the episodes back to back and back to back. Why is it wrong because Tyler Perry’s has three sitcoms that are successful? I believe that it is a shame that all three sitcoms are not on.
I am so disappointed that House of Payne has ended. I looked forward to that show every Friday. I need a laugh after working five days a week and coming home to an unfriendly house. Tyler you are great but I will truly miss that show. Your new show is funny but House of Payne hit home.
I will truly miss House of Payne. I thought it was the best comedy sitcom on the television network. I think it should have aired longer.
you ended this show for “for better or worse”. a big mistake .. like the other comments house of payne is Better. I Watch it on my DVR even if I have to miss it.. it’s our Friday night wind down at my house. we love the show. I hope you can find a way to bring it back. Shay
