The Game

This was my show when it first came out, but then BET got hold of it and ruined the last seasons of it. It just became a ratchet show with no substance. Lauren London and Blue together is too much bad acting for one show to withstand. They were corny and childish. Everybody had to be made immoral. The show went from a 10 to a 3 with the changing of networks. I give it a 7 because the original on the CW outweighs the nonsense of BET. And lastly, how you gone have a show without the 2 main characters, Derwin and Melanie?

In the beginning this show was awesome and hilarious when they had the original cast. After half of the originals left and they switched networks and brought in new people, the show went DOWNHILL. Its a shame.

My 8 out of 10 review is for the first few seasons with the originals. But for the last seasons after they made big changes, I rate it a 1 out of 10 seriously.

I started the fourth season and it's like I'm watching Zoey 101 all over again. Where's the audience laughter? At least there isn't any awkward silence in-between character's dialogue but if you're gonna have the characters crack jokes in almost every scene, then a laughing track is needed, in my opinion.

Spun off from the popular sitcom Girlfriends, The Game was about the adventures of a woman who gave up her offer of admission to medical school to follow her boyfriend's football career in San Diego.

Melanie Barnett (played by the beautiful Tia Mowry) and her boyfriend Derwin Davis (played by Pooch Hall) were the main couple of the show. The other characters include Malik Wright (played by Hosea Chanchez) and his mother Tasha (played by the funny Wendy Raquel Robinson), and the 2nd couple of the show Jason & Kelly Pitts (played by Coby Bell and Brittany Daniel, respectively). After Tia and Pooch left the show in S6, we get introduced to a few new characters, including Jason's ex-wife Chardonnay (played by the beautifully talented Brandy Norwood), and the new lead couple Keira Whitaker and Bryce "Blueprint" Westbrook (played by Lauren London and Jay Ellis, respectively).

If you enjoy a pure sitcom, watch the first 3 seasons, because by the time The CW canceled it and got revived by BET, it featured plenty of dramatic moments.

The first three seasons of this show were really good. It's a pity CW dropped it i've seen much less funny shows which less talent go on for longer. Networks stick to shows that might not start out well but end up as classics. Case in point is Sienfeld, in this case the ratings were good so i don't see the justification for it. And with no due respect to the previous poster, really "Holly Berry"!!! that's just plain ignorance and it says everything i need to know about you. And oh, it is a race issue. PS:BET you need to keep the Jason Pitts character as a principle he was/is funnier than any of the character, plus Coby Bell's delivery of the lines is spot on. I should add that the Kelly character was a nice compliment to the Pitt's character, it just needs better writing (AND directing).
