This is such a great show. I have been watching since the beginning and so sad it is ending. I would rather the Have and Have Nots end. It is not a positive uplifting show.
I love Welcome To Sweetie Pies. Why is this the last season? It is such a good wholesome community show for everyone. Every family has crisis. So what! Please bring them back.
Me and my wife love to watch Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s together. We want to thank Oprah, Ms Robbie, Tim, and the entire cast for giving us a good clean family show to watch. It shows that family can work together and help people on their way up. A piece of our hearts leaves with Sweetie Pies, but as we all know life must go on. We hope to see how they’re doing in the future. They will be surely missed.
I am very disappointed the show is not coming back. Very sad! Excellent show.
