These days, with so many different things to watch and ways to watch, it can be difficult for one thing to make an impact if it is not, for example, a six-part HBO miniseries or the new thing on Netflix Which everyone does not want. to mock. And then there is still The Haves And The Have Nots, an original drama on EIE that will come to an end later this year after 196 episodes aired over the course of eight seasons – very. The credit for the show’s longevity is creator Tyler Perry, who’s always appreciated the quantity … you know, the other thing, though it’s not like The Haves And The Have Nots (which is an unnecessary title) was some underdog series that no one has ever watched. As reported by Deadline, the series averages 3 million viewers and is “always” considered one of the most watched cable programs for black women.
But it will all soon be in the past, because once the program – which Sonia Saraiya called ‘black’ Downton Abbey” in an AV Club revised eight years ago—Back after its mid-season hiatus in May, it will air the final series of episodes in its eighth and final season. Oprah Winfrey, the OW in OWN, said the show’s success was entirely due to Perry’s “creativity and very vivid imagination”, with Deadline teasing that it will have a “finale that no one will see coming.” Exciting! But apparently not exciting enough for Perry and OWN to go to even 200 episodes. It might not be that hard to write four episodes of a TV show, can it? Come on, Perry!
