Rumor has it that CW has canceled “The Game.” I can’t say that I blame them.
Sorry y’all. I realize some of you are loyal fans of that show but it lost its magic once the budget was cut. The Game was worth watching in its first season. But this past season was simply the worst. Yes, I’m basing that assessment off of the one episode that I saw. But it’s routine for investors to decide whether to invest their money in a series based on one episode called a pilot or test episode.
That one show I saw was horrible. The acting was atrocious and the show moved at the pace of a turtle. When two of the female characters started fighting over an obivously gay man, I knew that show was toast.
i liked this show…i hate it was cancelled…
Sandra the first season of the Game was WACK! I am still waiting until CW says it cancelled. I read that is supposed to happen tomorrow. The show has improved by leaps and bounds since season 1. They had a few suspect shows this season but overall the season was good.
They dont cancel the WACK white shows that are on every darn channel so go head with all that!
What the hell are you talking about Sandra? The decision gets made tomorrow. The 21st. I hope they don’t get canceled but if they do, I’m glad it didn’t end in a cliff hanger. Moesha anybody? LOL.
i cant say i blame them either that show was the worse
NOOOOOO! i wont believe it! i just wont! /cry
GIRLFRIENDS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THE GAME
I miss girlfriend taht show was poppin
ooo and so was moESHA and the parkers
ahhhhh =D
the game is the best show on right now…what do you mean? that last episode was great! i think its on a bad night…cause i always have to catch it on TIVO. all i gotta say is that’s a good ass show.
I hope they make it. I really got into it. Malik is so crazy
We just can’t win!!!
I think this season came off as a bit rushed because they were not sure if they were coming back. I am glad Derwin and Mel got married cause I am STILL MAD that I didnt see what Joan’s wedding dress would have looked like!
I think we should get one more season to see what Melanie and Derwin’s married life would be like as well as the situation with Jenay. I would also like to see how Kelly and Tasha’s relationship will be (TA-DA BYTCH lol). It wasn’t necessarily a cliffhanger, but there a definitely a lot of issues that can be explored further.
Yeah Girlfriends just stopped coming on. They run it on a ‘we’ network – the past seasons re-runs. I didn’t know Maya and Darnell were considering adoption, or that Joans fiance was coming home from Iraq.
I hate I been missing the Game. It’s a shame, too because I’m home at this time of the day.
i LOVE the game! they did have an hour long “season finale” SAY IT AINT SOOOOOO!!
So I’m listening to Tom Joyner Morning Show last week and the CEO of BET (that lady) was on there saying (not in her exact words) BET is trying to get The Game to come on their network. They didn’t want to see the show get cancelled plus it would pull more viewers to BET.
Your comment about season one shows you didn’t watch the show or like boring tv.
I loved Moesha. Loved it! Until Ray J joined the cast… then it jumped the shark.
I loved Girlfriends.. Until Toni left.. Then it jumped the shark.
@ the Game getting cancelled.. First the fat boys break up now this. There’s nothing left to believe in anymore. ~ spoony D.
the first season was so wack. if you only watched one episode then how can you possibly have an opinion on all the shows?
i am waiting for official word. the word is coming from ew.com that gave a cheat sheet for fall lineups. this is not official.
the cast is great and the acting is just fine. since season one, every character has grown. it is a good show and if BET will take the show ( and not over sex it like everything else), i will support bet for finally doing something right
*crying softyl in the corner*
I just found out about it…please don’t go!
i loved season one.
@h0tsauce
forreal… so there is still hope? bet need new shows anyway, they showing all those old movies during primetime….booo
BET been showing the re-runs of the game! money making malik was startin to look good to me, wit his bat man shape up!
why do I think derwin is the cutest thang on the planet??? If malik didn’t have those oversized nipples and constantly have his shirt off, he’d be that SHAT too.
I don’t watch the show. I have watched a few episodes, but i can’t get pass bad acting.
The only black citcom/show i’ve watched as a fan was girlfriends. Everything else is oldies.
if that show goes, there wont be any blk themes shows on tv. the ratings will tell you, that african americans like to watched shows that feature them, so without those shows, the ratings will drop. cable tv has went after the african american audience with great success. you would think those white folks would want some of the african american dollars since they spend the same as whitey.
I love the game. I’m really going to miss it if they cancel it.
I like the game too – I hope it’s not canceled.
i watched one episode cuz of “piggy” from steve harvey show. regina, that’s it. the time slot was all over the place so that didn’t help the show either. isn’t this mara brock akil’s show (creator of girlfriends)? mara, sit back and relax. you’re set for life. girlfriends is in syndication. you will be ok.
First the fat boys break up now this. There’s nothing left to believe in anymore…

LMAO…Marcus got puzzy whipped, Boney T was hurt bout dat shyt lol!
The show is not officially cancelled. For all we know it might be a case of EW.com not giving a damn if they get their facts straight. Like the white media referring to every black person they don’t know as a rap star rather they be a singer, actor or whatever. Right now not even the stars have been told the show’s fate.
In the event it is cancelled, Michael Strahan has a sitcom coming out on Fox in the fall which will air Friday’s at 8. The show is about a retired football player.
#15, thats was ‘boney T’ from Boomerang. But I’m witchu.
There are a couple of shows with Black casts coming out.
Michael Strahan/Darryl Mitchell have a new series. Another football player (can’t think of his name) has a series coming out as well. Both on Fox
Tyler Perry’s sit coms are still out there. And Jada Smith is getting a series.
I personally don’t think BET can afford to pick up The Game on their network. Unless they cancel all their other programs and pay the cast like that.
I loved Moesha, The Game and Girlfriends. I also still chuckle @ Chris Rock show. But they lv dat Gossip Girl shish on. It just goes to show u dat they don’t give a ish about blk folks and what we enjoy.
Like the white media referring to every black person they don’t know as a rap star rather they be a singer, actor or whatever
^^LOL. Boy I tell ya. When I heard them say rap superstar Chris Brown has been arrested.lololol…I mean what can you do? The media just…They just…There was an incident that involved a home invasion robbery. The news station didnt have much info, but they did know the name of the guy who’s house it was, and what he looked like. The news caster did say that they “weren’t sure”…but that he may be some sort of hip hop producer. Big black man living in an upscale neighborhood what else could he be?lol…Of course he wasn’t a producer. Saying rapper makes the story more sensational thanks to all the negativity associated with rap….
I still liked Gfriends after Toni left. She aint have shyt else to go do so that was on her. The creator said she could come back at anytime. I heard they may do a Gfriends movie.
Mya was my fav character on gfriends anyway.lol She was a FOOL.
Joan and Toni BOTH dressed their azzes off though.
@Luvly BRAVO is doing a reality show based on gossip girls. They are using some private school in NY.
I HATE ALL Tyler Perry Sitcom’s .. talk about Bad acting .. they are the WORSE !!
@Kym I agree and his movies may not be A rated yet but they are indeed FAR better than his BOOTLEG TV shows and I dont understand that.
i agree #35 they are the worse..lol and game wasn’t any good from the few episodes that i saw. Just seemed like a show about golddiggers fighting over football players and spending their money…lol
BK .. i JUST started watching the Game .. .the reruns on BET … it’s AIIIIIGHT … if I miss it .. i’m good .. it’s not like Law & Order … thats my MUST see TV … lol
Oh no!! ROFL … I just read that Wanda Sykes is getting her own show this fall(again).
The Strahan/Mitchell series is called “Brothers”
@BK The game was about more than that. Mel was in medical school far from a “golddigger”. While I dont agree with everything Steve Harvey said in his book (did not buy it) I am glad he kept it real on the term golddigger.
I agree about the Tyler Perry acting on his coon shows. I have never watched more than 5 mins of it. Its almost as bad as home boys in out of space.
@ pointhimout & krysi. Thanks for the correction. I think spoony d is a rapper, lol.
#35 you got alot of nerve! Did we forget your 1 (wo)man show at the community theater last year? I mean yeah it was a nice thought to reenact a classic film like cooley high, but what n da hell made you think you could play all the characters by yo self? Yes I’ll admit you and cochise bare a striking resemblance, but the ditch party scene was a disaster…Watching you slow dance with yourself to ooh baby baby was just awkward to say the least. You could of at least hired some extras to make the party look more realistic…Painting faces on card board boxes just didnt get it.heehee
ROFL … “coon shows” … that’s exactly what they are too. I don’t understand why they’re still on.
shaddep Brenden … lol .. i’m too pissed to fuss with you today … dag on kids .. now i know why i got my tubes tied after one …. mumblin off …lol
Yeah I ain really feeling none of TP’s sitcoms…sorry…the jokes are so lame and dry, he know he need to do better. Why can’t he make his sitcoms like his plays?? Stop changing shyt!!
iscream.. you watched 3 mo mins than I did .. I’ll catch Family Guy re-runs before Tyler perry sitcom’s get my viewership …. in the words of Glen Quagmire … giggity .. giggity
Sandra, I just saw more of those pictures @ Rocco’s (excuse me while I laugh) video shoot. You were really nice not to post some of those pics. Talk about Hood. Why did they have that baby pose with that pit bull? Smh
Family guy is my ish!
who knew rocco even had an album out? im sorry but he needs to stop it. just sit back and ride off monica!
Not all black shows are “coon shows” and last I checked YT folks been cooning and clowning for years on TV *sighs*
here we go…
Love the show..But I can certainly see why they would cancel it..If anything..I hope they don’t bring it back for an hour…If they hour long finale is any indication of what a regular hour long episode would be like..They will be in big trouble eventually..The show without the laugh track was almost unbearable..
JustSayin
Tylers coon shows cater to the X-tian community, that’s why they’re still on.
Living Single was the Girlfriends of the 90’s…
It be nice to see a Girlfriends movie. As long as they don’t put Gabrielle Union in it, and as long as they don’t make it ‘hood’-tastic. I think you all know what I mean.
we need one more season.. i hope they bring it back..
heart both derwin and malik!
I did NOT miss the laugh track and loved the hour show.

~~~~~~~~~~
It was the black “Friends” Max even said it on the “reunion show”. Someone told Max that when she lived in a dorm those two shows came on at the same time but there were more white girls so Friends won, but someones dad bought them a tv so they watched Living Single.
DAMN DAMN DAMN !!!!!!!!!!!
that show was the sh#@! DAMN DAMN DAMN !!!!!!!
The Game was awesome! Sometimes predictable but hell what show isn’t. It won’t be a show that is talked about decades from now, but it was good nonetheless and deserves another season. It was really about to get goooooodd!!!
If true, I can’t much blame the CW for canceling The Game. The show was just wick-wick-wack.
Sidebar: Why do I hear KRS One’s My Philosophy in my head?? Oh Shauny, I feel another rap session coming on. LOL.
How many mc’s must get dissed
before somebody says, “Don’t f*%k with Kris!”
Everything is wack to hear you tell it attymom
I LOVED Friends. I thought they would have had a reunion show by now. Can’t wait on the 2nd Sex n the City movie next year!
Now that my gaydar is fully functional, I can now see that Kyle was as “how you doin” as heeeelllll.
@ Daisy please show me where it said all black shows are “coon”. I said Tyler Perry show is Coon and it is. If that’s not why you don’t like it so be it…

I hated the way the show “All Of Us” ended. Robert decided to be Niecy’s sperm donor, they were in a hotel room kissing and we never saw it again. No warning no nothing, unless I missed the memo.
@Ice my coon comment was not for you. I do not watch Tylers show.
@63
Yup.
Nuff said.
Hello All. Never watched Game but like many of you, Girlfriends was the bomb. Too bad Hollywood never gave these women their props. They were good-looking women who could act but they never were nominated for a Emmy or you hardly ever saw any of them on the cover of Vogue or InStyle, especially Diana Ross’ daughter. (If Diana was a famous white singer, it would be an entirely different story, like Goldie Hawn and her daughter, what makes HER so special? Tracey Ellis Ross reminds me so much of a black Carol Burnette, so versatile, funny and talented. There are so many good black actors but if you’re not Halle or Denzel, well, need I say more? Buy hey, they’re not young chickens anymore and someone has to take their places. I’m just saying…..
We want Girlfriends!! We want Girlfriends!!!
Yeah, Living Single was the bomb. I also kinda liked Half n Half. The mothers were a trip, especially the tall one that could look like a drag queen. The writers were great. Once again, beautiful, talented black actresses who got relatively no attention from the media. Oh but Friends stayed on, how many yrs? I believe they made a million an episode.
The Cosby days are long gone. Peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
@ PA girlfriends was a good show but I have to disagree with them being beautiful women. They were hard on the eyes mainly manly looking Mya… & Toni with those teeth. Lynn was about the only one passable (how I’m doing).
@ Daisy… my bad.
Toni pretty’d up towards the end lol. After she got her some eyebrows and veneers lol.
I actually loved the game! It gave you a look inside an pseudo fototball team. It was good to see how the wives and girlfriends are, and the home life of the players. I loved Tasha Mack and Malik plays the hell out of the vain celebrity star.
Melanie and Derwin’s relationship was so cute. Kelly is the stand by you man, no arguments here white girl. I think they are funny and I hope it doesn’t get canceled. They should have left it on Monday’s. I miss most of the episodes of Fridays.
I think Tracie Ellis Ross is pretty big eyes and all. Mya does look tranny at times.
@ PA, I agree. I enjoyed Living Single and Half & Half. The mothers made H&H. The snobish mom appeared in Stomp The Yard. I also enjoyed Fresh Prince and Family Matters.
Hell, I liked the Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family.
Marcia! Marcia!
Hello, world there’s a song we singing. Come on get happy.
@ attnymom I loved half & half. & I loved Big DeeDee. The Game replaced Half & Half & I can’t front I hated on it the 1st season bc of that. I was sad when it got cancelled.
actually the only shows on that deserve to be cancelled is the TP bs. i dont get to watch much tv, but are the other shows this horrible? it’s like the real writing left in the 90’s. i still watch living single when i can. everybody played their parts. great cast.
i dont know what that shyt is TP producing, making millions or not. movies wack, tv shows dreadfully wack.
@ iscream, thanks for being nice to me. : – )
