Back in 2022, a new Sitkom of CBS was released, which will see Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Runior play their father-son. At that time, The deadline He described the "Popa's House" as "Sitkom's Dream on the Pairing Screen (that's) two decades in making", and while it may have been a little exaggeration, at least it was exciting to hear that Wans St. He was moving in the early 2000s for five seasons and became a beloved part of the childhood of a very millennium. As such, Damon Wayans returned to a multi-camera comedy seemed to be a success-especially if that comedy starred his son in real life, with whom he had an undeniable comic chemistry, confirmed by their previous collaborations.

"My Wife and Children" also featured Wayne Runior in a repetitive role before the actor continued to act in comedy shows as "happy endings" and "new girlfriend". Then, he led the SBS "happy together", which, unfortunately, lasted only one season. "Popa's House", however, seemed to be imposed over a season, especially since "happy together" showed the comical chemistry of Vans and Vejans Runior in an episode titled "As a Father, as a Son".

Co-written by Wayne and Executive Producer Kevin Henc, "Popa House" Alum "Saturday Night Live" (which was fired and then returned to season 11) As a divorced host of Radio, Damon "Popa" Fulton, who lives in the suburbs next to his adult son, Junior (Vans Junior). At work, Popa finds himself caused by a new female co-host in the form of self-help Guru Ivy (essentially Atkins), while Jr. finds himself away from his dream to become a film director in order to satisfy his wife's wishes for a stable life. The father and son often go through the paths because of their life, with Popa often finding the peace of his home life shaken by family and neighbors' drops. As a decent premise as it may sound, "Popa's House" eventually proved to be a lasting as "happy together", with CBS pulling the plugin after just one season.

"Popa's House" debuted on October 21, 2024 and ran 18 episodes by April 28, 2025. In March, The deadline They reported that the sitcom remained "on the bubble", which essentially means that it is in a kind of purgatory that was not canceled, but it was also not restored for a new season. In other words, writing was pretty much on the Wallid at that moment. According to the exit, CBS was looking forward to reducing the show's budget and talks on the subject were ongoing. But at the same time, the network allegedly weighs the "Popa's house" against three pilots-"DMV", "Zagna" and spin-off of "Neighborhood"-for what was planned to become the only comedy slot for 2025-26.

A month later, CBS officially announced that it had decided not to renew the series. According to The deadline, "DMV" was a play that won the only comedy slot for the new season, which means "Popa House" and other pilots were lifted. Then, it seems that although there were initial plans to reduce the cost of making Wayne's sitcom, the show's estimates just weren't good enough to justify the rebuilding. The deadline reported that the show's rating was below the three other CBS comedy series, which were renewed: "Ghosts", "The First Marriage of Georgi and Mandy", as well as the "neighborhood".

Season 1 was not divided by critics and was certainly not one of the worst sitcoms of all time. In fact, the play got a perfectly good result of 86% critic of Rotten tomatoes. Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times surprised that "Wayanses have an obvious good time to work together," while Variety's Aramid Tinu thought the cast had "chemistry in shovels". Then, again, one of the jokes in the "Popa's House" included AIVI to retire in the comment "Asine" by Popa, just for the image of Vans to answer: "First of all, my ** is not nine, it's 10." So yes, not the worst but certainly not The best sitcom ever.

So far, the only person involved in the "Popa's House" who publicly referred to the show's cancellation is Damon Vejans. In Instagram Post, Waynes called the short -lived Serie A "wonderful journey", before thanking everyone in the project, from its casters to writers and crew. He continued:

"Very special thanks to my son, Damon Runior working beside you, was one of the greatest joys in my life. And to my incredible family, brothers and sisters, children and grandchildren, grandchildren and grandchildren who emerged as writers, guest stars and creative forces you made this journey even more.

It is clear that making "Popa House" meant a lot to the comedian, who continued to say that although the show was canceled, he "went with deep gratitude, lifelong friendships and memorable memories."

The history of the TV is full of short -lived sitcom, many of which were distorted by air waves before completing their first episodes match. The short -lived sitcom in which David Schwimmer starred in front of "Friends", For example, it only took a few episodes before Fox pulls the plug ABC canceled Heather Graham's Sitom after one episode. As such, the Wayne family can be proud to have done it during a season with a decent rating and solid examinations. It just wasn't enough to keep them in the air at the time.
