What do you think? Have you seen Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s? Are you sad the show is ending?
I’m SO sad to see it end I’ve been watching from the beginning. My daughter and I went to eat at Seeetie Pies Houston today and were pleasantly surprised to see TIM and CHARLES working and I mean working! Tim was cleaning tables and Charles was serving! We took pictures with both
I am terribly sad it’s ending. It’s one of my favorite shows and I almost feel like I am part of their family.
OWN and Oprah cancels all the family friendly entertainment shows, The Peet’s, Raising Whitley ,etc. Oprah loves philosophical shows , but seems to forget some of us just want to be entertained. I hope another network picks up sweetie Pies. Pretty soon OWN will be known as the rerun of old shows network.
Yes, I watched Welcome To Sweetie Pies and I am very sad to see it go. Hope it will return and ALL is well
Very sad to see this show end. I have enjoyed it.
Sweetie Pie and the whole crew is going to be missed. I love this show and have watched every episode since day 1 of its debut. The family dynamics has changed over the last couple of years; I can understand if the family wants to come from under the scrutiny of the public since they appeared to have been a very close knitted family since the beginning. I pray this family can recover from all the things they have gone through. I really enjoyed watching them over the last 7 years and will truly miss them. Hopefully, they will return… Read more »

I don’t understand WHY it’s ending, unless they just don’t want to do the show anymore. This show is the best!
Yes i loved it i hate it is ending
Very sad Sweetie Pies is ending. I am really hoping to see a spinoff. This shown makes you feel apart of the family. Anothet network picking it up would be fantastic.
I love the show and cannot understand, when you say it’s so popular that it will be cancelled. No! Maybe because tim is headed in another direction?
I hate its not going to be on anymore

This 65 year old white man loved the series and the slices of life that each character shared. I am so sorry the series is ending and want to say God bless each of you and thanks for trusting us with your story.
“”Sweetie Pie’s” is a real, honest, humble, caring loving family show. How many do we have on that are like “Sweetie Pie’s? When you have over 800 show to choose from. I can’t think of any! I’ve never missed one episode. Number two rated show, that makes good sense, let’s cancel a number two show everyone loves. We’ll see how your show does that you put in that time slot and see if it goes to number two??!!! I BET not!!! I will miss all of you at “Sweetie Pie’s!”. This shouldn’t be happening!!!
