  2. 1*STEP*AHEAD

    I LOVE THAT SHOW

  3. Ashley

    This is the best show on air…. !

  4. xtina

    in the words of teddy p, let it go

  5. Hmmm

    How can they say they are not being canceled, yet for the next 4 min. ambiguously contradict that statement? So are they at ‘risk’ of being cancelled? What’s going to happen if 1,000,000 posts wasn’t met? Anyway i’mma stop the hate, becuz I actually like the show, and it would suck if it did get canceled…

  6. NO HATE IN 2009!!

    I tried to get into it…but it was made to replace girlfriends,which is why I think it tanked.Same concept,not as hilarious. That show was untouchable and as much as I love seeing successful black sitcoms that DON’T degrade black people *eyeballs tyler perry*,I don’t think the game was that good of a show to begin with,in addition to not being able to fill the shoes of its predecessor.

  7. Nadia

    I agree, I only watched a couple of episodes, it’s not that good. However Everybody Hates Chris is extremely funny and a much better show. I heard that was being canceled too.

  8. Cindy

  12. whyaskwhy

    I love the show. It was shaky at the beginning but they deal with REAL issues for young black adults….for that I love it. It gets BETTER AND BETTER every season.

    WE NEED TO SUPPORT BLACK SHOWS that represent us well.

  13. LETS KEEP THE GAME

    Im on my way there….i love this show

  14. soupastar

    LUV THIS SHOW!

  15. tonya

    This is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. I think it was the times it came on. Who will remember to watch the show on a FRIDAY night. They were expecting to not do good. They need to come back on Mondays or Wednesdays BUT PLEASE DON”T GO OFF!!!

  16. Kimmie

    I’ve watched The Game since the very first episode, although I’ve missed a few because it airs on Fridays. Maybe they could find another network, BET maybe?

  17. ha8ted on

    THIS IS A DAMN OUTRAGE..THE MIGHT AS WELL SAY CW MEANS CHANNEL WHITE.CAUSE THATS WHO ALL THE SHOWS ARE ON THERE FOR WHITE PPL.FIRST GIRLFRIENDS NOW THIS. I AM PISSED.THE ONLY TWO BLACK SITCOMS LEFT ARE BOTH TYLER PERRY SHOWS. SMH.IM GOING THERE RIGHT NOW I LOVE THIS SHOW,GOT MY DAMN PRESSURE UP.DAMN U CW!!!

  18. PYT

    I’m on it cuz its funny and I swear if another episode of ANTM goes on as corny as it is I swear!! And its ridic that they put it on a Friday who watches tv on a Friday. And I could watch an hour log cuz they but so many damn commercials on the show is really only on for 12 minutes!!!

  19. ayo

    thats a good show and all and im gonna do my part to help keep it on the air but lol its not like they curing cancer or something they tryna use the whole YES WE CAN method its not a movement its a tv show but it is a good tv show

  20. dree

    Yay go The Game, I’m rooting for this show. Media take out are some liers

  21. Cosign #19, this show and Everybody Hates Chris been messed ever since they moved them to Friday night!

    Ill admit I watch Gossip Girl but they could easily save this show by replacing the hot garbage they have on Tuesday- Thursday! And Tyra Banks could give up her slot too.

  22. woah

    Aw man, the Game and EBHC are my shows, especially EBHC because its comically cohesive with the plot and I look forward to inserts by Chris as well as the end to find out why EBHC. As far as the Game, my friends watch it to, the drama is in place, the comedy part, not so much, but they need to move the plot along its a bit stuck. But, its like the Game ladies I know love since we dont do football, but maybe they ought to throw in an actual game and hook the guys. Idk, im reaching to save the show, put Brandy on the show, whatever happens, I WISH THE GAME LUCK and they owe us an ending. Ps. most peop. go to the club on Friday.

  23. itzzzkimmm

    I’m trying to make as many post as I can. Support the show ppl. There aren’t many quality Black shows out there, so support!

  24. ttyl

    they want the show to be an one hour show because cw is getting rid of the half hour shows which i dont think the show will be interesting without the laughs in the background its gonna be like a soap opera

  25. T

    I love the game so I will be supporting this.I want it to be an hour too!

  26. Gotta stay

    I’m tired of seeing great black shows get cancel like Half & Half, and Girlfriends
    I love the Game it just keep getting better
    It need to stay on the air

  27. Juicy SuperStar

    I love this show so I will be posting.

  28. Juicy SuperStar

    I love this show so I will be posting.

  29. CokeBaby

    Whats the point in saying the show isn’t getting cancelled when the whole point of this video is to stop it from getting cancelled? Sounds contradictory
    I honestly haven’t been a fan of the show, found it to be stereotypical but its sad that networks are soo quick to cancel black shows. I think the Game didn’t do as well as it could have because they pitched it as the spinoff of girlfriends but it can’t compare.

    Things like this remind me of how much blacks need to maintain ownership of our own stuff, there need to be more black directors and networks keeping the black entertainment industry going. We can’t rely on white Hollywood- we have to do own ish

  30. MRS. SK8BOARD P (AK & BK STAN)

    i used think it was whack..wen it FIRST came on…but now that it’s been on BET and I’ve watched more episodes…the show is reallly good.

  31. carla

    that show sucks..it should be cancelled….wendy is the only decent one…she would be better suited elsewhere

    the rest…suck…and suck even harder on this show..or go to disney…do movies with dogs…

    why support crap even if it is black…come stronger with something black that is actually good

  32. collegechick205

    I’m confused. The Game is not canceled yet we need to show support so that the can keep the game on for another 3 or 4 years. I like the show personally, it’s just that Friday kill spot. I forget that it even comes on. I don’t know about this video though. They should have looked over what they were saying before they recorded the video.

  33. BSStinks

    So, the show hasn’t been cancelled yet, but if they don’t get 1 million people to post on that site it will get cancelled? Um… okay; it’s rough in these streets, I see.

    Still, even if a million people do post on that site, that doesn’t mean that the show won’t get cancelled at some point. Truthfully, what it needs above anything is viewers; so, after people “hit” the site, they better make sure that they hit the POWER button on their TVS, or else those actors will be standing in the unemployment line with the rest of America.

  34. LoveMuffin

    Come on yall, everybody may not watch this show but there aren’t that many African-Americans shows airing on TV. You got House of Payne, The Game, and a few others. ALL you gotta do is register and write a few encouraging words. We need to support each other and quit complaining. Although it comes on when most people are out the door, I usually catch up on it online. People coming on here with negative talk..please keep it moving.

  35. CREAMY

    @32-CARLA, WTF ARE U TALKING ABOUT??? HAVE U EVER EVEN WATCHED MORE THAN ONE EPISODE?!?

    THE GAME AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON THE AIR. IT IS VERY WELL WRITTEN. IT GOES IN DEPTH WITH EACH CHARACTER. THE STORYLINE IS BEYOND UP TO PAR. IT EVEN HAS MORE SET CHANGES/DIFFERENT SETTINGS THAN ANY SHOW I’VE EVER SEEN!! THEY ARE SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT IN ALMOST EVERY SCENE & EPISODE.

    TO TOP IT ALL OFF, THEY ALL CAN ACT!!. MARA BROCK AKIL KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING WHEN SHE PUT THIS SHOW TOGETHER BASED OFF HER EXPERIENCE WITH GIRLFRIENDS (WHICH ALSO WAS A VERY WELL-WRITTEN SHOW).

    I THINK THOSE THAT THINK IT SUCKS GOT IT TWISTED. THEY PROBABLY JUST SAW THE FIRST 3-5 EPISODES (WHICH I ADMIT, STARTED OFF KINDA SLOW, BUT ONLY TO WORK UP ALL OF THE WILD EVENTS TO LATER HAPPEN) & WAS LIKE “MMM… I’M GOOD.”

    BUT IF U HAD STUCK BY IT, U WOULD SEE WHY PEOPLE GO SO HARD FOR THIS SHOW. I SAY WE ALL NEED TO SUPPORT B/C GOD FORBID IT DOES GO OFF THE AIR, ALONG WITH EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS, HOUSE OF PAYNE WILL BE THE ONLYYYY SHOW GEARED TOWARDS BLACKS ON AIR, WHICH WILL TRULY BE SAD.

    ALRIGHT, I’M DONE.

  36. ~**Just Rayne**~

    @ #32 we don’t need the hate her mama. If you have nothing good to say….. (you know the rest).

    With that being said, The Game is a wonderful show that keeps you guessing. I def co sign with 13 they have real life issuses that they address on the show. Even though they’re playing football players and their counter parts it’s still relatable…

    Support the black shows cause lawd knows there aren’t that many out there!!!!

    HELP THE GAME STAY ON THE AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. TheGoodGood

    It sounds scripted…..

    And who gives a crap if it gets cancelled..

    All of them are sayign the same lines… how fake.. they’re boring and the white girl is annoying..

  38. T

    Everyone,Stop responding to negativity and people like #32 Carla because they are just showing ignorance at its best.

  39. vee

    so now people can’t post their opinions if the opinions are “negative”?

    i agree with #32. i don’t watch shows and think “yay black people. i have to support it”. i think “this show is GOOD. i have to support it”. personally the game is cliche to me. i’ve seen some episodes and they didn’t catch my attention. i miss “girlfriends”. that was a good show to me and i supported it as such. house of payne should be cancelled too btw. sorry but there are many shows on right now that are better than the game. it couldn’t compete

  40. tigermichal

    I would really love for THE GAME to become an hour long. The Game is my favorite show on television because I have become totally attached to the story lines. The Game has always had amazing story lines that keep me tuned in and I think it would work well on The CW as a hour long series on the lines of 90210 or Gossip Girl.

    I also think it would be an awesome fit with 90210 because many people that watch 90210 would love THE GAME. both shows have amazing diverse casts and I think the CW could really build upon that.

    The Game and 90210 are my favorite shows on The CW and I would love to see them air on the same night. Hopefully you really consider expanding The Game and giving this show the chance it deserves. Ratings may not be high this season but that’s because a lot of people don’t even know it comes on on fridays. More promotion and a better timeslot and an hour runtime would truly help this show thrive and become one of The CW’s most successful series.

  41. DivaJr.

    OH Nooo iJust started watching this show over on BET and I loove it! PLEASE dont cancel!

  42. CREAMY

    I ALSO THINK THE REASON SOME ARE PUT OFF BY THE SHOW IS BECAUSE IT IS LIKE A SOAP OPERA IN THE FACT THAT IF U MISS ONE OR TWO EPISODES, UR KINDA LOST & DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON FOR A WHILE.

    BUT U CAN FIX THAT BY WATCHING THEM ONLINE!!! THEN COME BACK & SAY NO, THE SHOW STILL SUCKS (WHICH I GUARANTEE U WON’T).

    I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE HAVE OPINIONS, I PERSONALLY DON’T CALL THEM BEING NEGATIVE. HOWEVER, WHEN PEOPLE FORM OPINIONS BASED ON SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA/FACTS/KNOWLEDGE ABOUT, THAT SH*T REALLY GETS TO ME.

    NO ONE’S SAYING “SUPPORT B/C IT’S A BLACK SHOW” (WELL, I’M CERTAINLY NOT.) I AM SIMPLY SAYING TO SUPPORT B/C IT IS A GOOOOOOOD SHOW (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE GEARED TOWARDS BLACKS).

    OK, NO MORE FROM ME. (I’LL TELL U, PEOPLE HAVE ME WORKED UP… LOL)

  43. nycqueen

    WTF! they cant cancel THE GAME. That show really mended my heart when they took off Girlfriends lol. And plus I wanna see what ultimately happens wit derwin and melanie and wit jason and kelly dammit!! shit dont make no sense…what all black shows do we have on television now. i think…ZERO!!

  44. REAL PERSON

    everybody should support this movement. This and the house of payne is all we left.

  45. This cycle is going to continue as long as Blacks don’t OWN anything we have enough successful black people to buy and run our own network. Wake up black folks and the rich black people need to put their money where their mouths are. The blacks that paved the way for us would never stand for things like this.

  46. yd18

    This show is horrible point blank….they are better tv shows out there…and I have watch the show multiple times….Everybody hates chris….is my show..but Chris rock said a while ago that show isnt doing good because its on friday…but dont worry about it because it still makes money over seas….soo i dont think EBHC is goin anywhere….

    I have to admit that they arent any black sitcoms out….and the ones that are out are questionable tyler perry crap is a mess..the game is 2…..We need to step our game up wit these shows….thats why i watch tv one…with living single…martin…the jeffersons…good times…cosbys….what ever happen to make good shows like them….

  47. taliakay

    i love this show. But this video was thirsty man. But im going over to the website RIGHT NOW. lol i love the Game.

  48. Stanled

    Why is it that we as African Americans can’t seem to support our own? We are so quick to watch premieres of CSI NY, CSI Miami, and several other white shows, but we are hesitant to support our own. Maybe if shows like The Game were making a mockery of our race–Flavor of Love anyone, BET–we would probably support it. That’ s very unfortunate.

  49. Alexis

    I can’t support this because Mara Brock Akil did not even try to save Girlfriends like this. I really think it’s messed up how she let Girlfriends go down the drain like that. Girlfriends is 10 million times better than The Game. I watch The Game, but I will not give my support.

  50. yd18

    Im tired of people saying cuz its black we have to support….yes we do jump to see CSI and others because they are interesting….havin nothing 2 do wit skin color….I will support the game if it was good…but its not good 2 me…and im not gonna act like its a charity case and support it if I dont like it……regardless if im black…

  51. nicole cupcakes

    if no one likes it no one likes it clearly people supporting doesn’t mean antyhing the game is boring yes i’ll watch it once in a while when nothing is on but it’s very dry

    LET IT GO

    find another job

  52. Cocoa

    Does the CW stands for Clearly White???!!! They are removing all the black shows and replace them with white shows. This is crazy!

  53. T

    I am just saying instead of focusing on the negative and ignorance and those who really have no knowledge of the show.Those who probably prejudged the show.And those who probably didn’t really give the show a chance.Focus on the positive and that is supporting The Game.

  54. Get'em

    Gotta watch it…….There is NO black shows on t.v. anymore…We need more than Tyler Perry plz…..

  55. T

    I know thats right.I love TP but The Game is good,new,young and refreshing.

  56. i'mjustsayin

    Ummmm come on people. The show is AWFUL. It really is. We’re so obsessed with the fact that it’s a “black” show but it’s poorly written. I do think it’s sad that there aren’t as many black shows on TV anymore but we still have more shows than any other minority group. When was the last time you watched and Asian American sitcom???? Or a latin American sitcom (that didn’t have George Lopez in it!lol)?????? We gotta start crying like we’re so hard done by and actually support shows that are decent. I’m just sayin…

  57. Top Girl UK

    I really love the show. I am logging on as soon as I’m done here.

    It’s really nice to see black people dealing with real issues.

    KEEP THE SHOW GOING. LOVE IT!!!

  58. CaramelCremeBaibe

    @Cocoa,CW stands for COMPLETELY White cuz that’s what they’re aiming for. The Game is great show!!!! I’ve been doing my part to rally for it!!!!! Even if we did have black owned/black ran networks with bar none quality programming most n****z wouldn’t support its that sick a** crab mentality!!! I could say more but the ones who it rings true about would turn a deaf ear anyway….so to all The Game Supporters let do our thang and make our voices heard!!!!!!

  59. thickems

    I would send my support no doubt. I love the The Game It must stay on! ! !
    An hour of Pooch – I would love it ! ! ! !
