The Tyler Perry sitcom will end its run after four years.
April 26, 2011
TBS has announced the cancellation of one Tyler Perry series just as another is set to begin. A press release for the upcoming dramedy For Better or Worse also states that House of Payne will end its successful run after four years.
"Even though it will be sad to say goodbye to House of Payne, I’m really looking forward to exploring new territory with For Better or Worse," said Perry. "Working on House of Payne taught me a lot about what it takes to make a successful television series and I’m looking forward to applying that experience to For Better or Worse."
House of Payne premiered on the network in June 2007 to what was, at the time, basic cable's biggest sitcom audience ever. It continued to remain popular throughout its run, ranking in television's Top 5 primetime sitcoms with African-American adults 18-34 and 18-49 as recently as the first quarter of this year.
No end date has been announced yet for the series finale.

It is not about black or white it is about have a show on the air that quotes the bible and praises God. All the trouble they had referred back to the Lord and that is what is upsetting that a show of this caliber is being cancelled - if this not censorship than what is?

Tyler Pery, I have been a devoted follower. I go to the theater to see every movie that has your name linked to it. I love House of Payne and don't want to see it end. The Paynes have been a positive black inspiration to your viewers. PLEASE, don't end the show or kill Calvin. We don't want to see his character end like this.

House of Payne is my favorite show. Why has it been canceled. I think it should be one of the shows that stays on. Please I hope calvin didn't get killed. I think that if the tv series has been canceled, maybe Tyler Perry should think of doing a House of Payne movie for all of the fans. I will miss this show.
