The Game: Consider It Official

After months and months of gossip and rumors about “The Game” coming to BET, the network finally confirmed for the masses that new episodes of the popular series will be produced and aired on BET.

Network execs joked that this announcement is the “worst kept secret” in Hollywood, and anyone who reads blogs or listens to the radio would have to agree.

When “The Game” cast visited “The Mo’Nique Show” back in ’09, fans were hoping to hear an announcement then; but obviously, the “keep ‘em guessing” mentality was in full effect.

Now, the guessing and speculation are over. Consider it official. “The Game” is coming to BET with the original actors in tow.

Are you happy the show’s returning? Was the announcement worth the wait?

clubcushionscom said on April 15th, 2010

Yes BET did good, this is a change to turn around all the tom foolery going on. Now only if you could have saved Girlfriends. Quit with all the reality TV & bring back what BET is about. We need video shows for adults as well & although interesting quit glorifying gangsters with American Gangstas. Damon Wayan had a serious tv show long time ago something to do with hope & a after school rec center we ned shows like that. Why don’t we have a “black” Grays Anatomy bring Isaih Washington back I’m sure that will piss a few ppl off… Something original & something for us

JaNay said on April 15th, 2010

Most definitely excited about the return! Love this show, I’ve seen every episode. And thanks to BET I now know every line to all 3 seasons…lmao

Monique H said on April 15th, 2010

I am sooooooooo excited that the show is returning! I was definitely one of those people emailing BET in regards to your return. It is wonderful that shows that depict Black people in a positive light are getting their chance to shine. Keep up the fantastic work!!!From your # 1 fan!

dy said on April 15th, 2010

It’s funny because I didn’t start watching this show until it’s last season. But since then I have seen every season at least 4 times. I absolutely love this show and I’m very happy they decided to bring it back. The writers, producers and actors of this show should all be rewarded for such excellent work. It has an amazing story line and the characters are so believable. I tip my hat to Mara and crew! You make me proud to be black!!

CJ Will-I-Am said on April 15th, 2010

I am so happy this show is finally coming back.. My only hopes and dreams is if it could be a 1 hours show now … (fingers crossed)

Britt said on April 15th, 2010

YESS!!! Im so excited!!!!! This is one of the best things that BET has ever did! I cant wait till it comes on!!!!

keaira said on April 15th, 2010

lmao at nicole!

CJ said on April 15th, 2010

BET definitely did the right thing with this decision. My only fear is that things will not be the same once the show returns. We don’t know if Kelly and Jason are coming back. While I think we could do without Jason, Kelly seemed to play off her issues with him. The last episode set up a perfect way for him to stay away for a while with the trial coming up and him possibly going to jail. But Kelly definitely needs to come back.

But I can’t wait for the next season

Denise said on April 15th, 2010

Thank you BET! I love the game and I’m so glad its coming back! I can’t wait for the fall to see the new shows! This was the best move BET could ever make! Finally a show on BET that isn’t a reality show.

KD said on April 15th, 2010

I have been a fan since day one when the created the spin off form “Girlfriends”. Im glad that “The Game” is returning. Such a positive yet funny series. I love the actors and their characters. The writers as well as the actors doing a wonderful job of breathing real life into each episode. I love it and I will be glued to the TV watching. I hope that all its bandwagon re-run fans will be watching this time so that we dont lose the show again :)

Natasha said on April 15th, 2010

t said on April 15th, 2010

I hope they use the same all original characters from other eposides.

bbwoof said on April 15th, 2010

I’m just hoping that ‘Dionne’ comes back too. Man….that is some kind of fine lady. Makes damn near all the other ladies on the show look like boys. Note: I DID say ‘damn near’. Not all. Of course Tia is also good looking…but the lady who plays Dionne? Damn…a stone fox.

bbwoof said on April 15th, 2010

BET also should have brought back ‘Girlfirends’. But then again, Girlfriends without Toni Childs would have been a waste of time. Ok………bring back ‘Girlfriends’ only if Jill Marie Jones comes with the deal.

TK ANDY said on April 15th, 2010

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!…..I WAS SO UPSET WHEN THEY CANCELLED THE SHOW. THEY DIDN’T GET A FAIR SHOT. I LOVE THE SHOW I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FROM DAY 1 WHEN THEY DEBUT THE SPINOFF FROM GIRLFRIENDS. I HOPE THEY DONT CHANGE ANYTHING OR ANYBODY BECAUSE IT WAS PERFECT JUST THE WAY IT WAS.

MSterling said on April 15th, 2010

YEAH. I hope you could hear my cheers. I am so excited. Yes, I have been hearing the rumors but until something is official, I don’t believe anything. You have no ideal how you have made my day.
Luv you all and THANKS A MILLION.

Latonia said on April 15th, 2010

Thank you so much BET. I’m so tired of all the black shows being canceled after 2 or 3 good seasons. This show was excellent and for the life of me, I don’t understand why they wanted to cancel it in the first place. Dam are we that good, YES! and they hate it baby. Thanks BET!

Shan said on April 16th, 2010

I’m sooooooo excited! It’s a bit bittersweet for me though because I really wish Girlfriends would’ve received a fair shake too. Joan got her engagement, but never her wedding which would’ve been the best ending.
I hope they don’t change anything about it, now that it is coming back on. It wasn’t broken, so don’t go trying to fix it!

elva said on April 16th, 2010

I am so proud to hear that the Game is returning and it’s on BET. Finally we have a lot of quality shows to watch, Monique,the Crews show ,and now the Game.YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

StaceyandTitus said on April 16th, 2010

OMG. Im so glad they’re bringing the show back. I loved everything about it from the out spoken Tisha Mack to the sad and confused Med School. Im happy to see a show that relates to the black views.

Jacqueline said on April 16th, 2010

This show is my black soap opera! Its so real and entertaining. I love the GAME! Welcome Back. I will be watching!!!!!!!!!

Sunshine said on April 16th, 2010

I’m so happy. Every time we get some african american shows that are worth watching (other than those reality drama shows that make us look like low class clowns) they take it off the air. I can’t wait. I’m still enjoy the reruns.

LaSonya said on April 16th, 2010

I started watching the show with my daughters, they had to fill me in because the re-runs were not in order so I didn’t understand what had happened from show to show. Im so excited to know that BET has picked this wonderful show up. The cast and each story line you have a feel for each character. Im a devoted fan, Thanks BET!

MoeMoe said on April 16th, 2010

ari said on April 16th, 2010

This is silly but I feel like a weight was lifted off of me. I looked forward to the game every week and I was hurt when it was taken off TV. THANK YOU BET this is the best news!

JanJan said on April 16th, 2010
