Tyler Perry's House of Payne
2006–SyndicationComedy
A Georgia fire chief with the rest of his family in the house, and the series that proved syndication could still start a hit.
Tyler Perry's House of Payne rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 1–8, running between 6 and 30 seconds.
It arrived on Syndication in 2006, when Soul Train, Judge Judy and VeggieTales were also on the network.
Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Tyler Perry's House of Payne did so once.
