Well it looks like THE CW went ahead and canceled ‘The Game’. Here is the email someone sent me:
I just wanted you to know I found out today that the CW has canceled The Game. Here is the official line up of the CW for the Fall 2009:
90210: Already renewed / America’s Next Top Model: Already renewed.
Everybody Hates Chris: Canceled / The Game: Canceled
Gossip Girl: Already renewed / One Tree Hill: Already renewed
Privileged: Canceled / Reaper: Canceled.
Smallville: Already renewed / Supernatural: Already renewed.
For the record, I won’t be watching the LAME-ASS CW ever again, nor promoting any of their current or upcoming shows on Concrete Loop. They never promoted The Game or Everybody Hates Chris as much as Gossip Girl or 90210. And don’t get me started on One Tree Hill, that show is beyond garbage but always gets picked up every season. I guess picking up Tyra’s show (America’s Next Top Model) meets their black quota for the season. And don’t get me started on Girlfriends, y’all saw how they did that show.
That show was soooo f-in great. Sad to hear that it’s canceled
I really hope Maura shops her show to other channels. Hopefully BET will pick it up. The CW will be sorry once this show becomes a hit with a network that WILL promote and stand behind this show. The CW SUCKS!!!!!
I follow @cwthegame on twitter and he said this morning that the fate has not been deicided yet. So i am gonna keep my fingers crossed. We are supposed to know tomorrow. If it is in fact really cancelled, I shall never indulge in my Gossip Girl fix again. I wont even Watch reruns on that stupid channel. These were the only two shows i watched on that Network and I will be saying goodbye to both if they cancel the Game.
You’re right Angel; whenever you go to the CW the only commercials you ever see are Gossip Girl, OTH, etc. But never saw The Game and barely Every Body hates Chris. Chris Rock may have felt the same way, and you can see his deciscion to not continue the show. I don’t even watch the CW anymore, but they need to do better to gain more of an audience.
thats some BULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am with you I will never watch CW again The Game was one of the best underrated t.v. shows on televison, but they renew Top Model which I stop watching years ago. I really hope BET will pick up and get rid of all their the BS the have on their network.
Noooooooooooooooo!! They cant cancel it, did anybody see the finale??? It was great they cant leave it off there!!!!! WHoever is writing THe Game is on point!!! Please not another black show cancelled first Girlfriends now The Game!!
I AM SO HEATED RIGHT NOW!!!! WTF am I going to watch!!!!????????
OMG…is all I can say:{{
smallvillie got a another oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know what, I am NEVER watching CW again. The only thing that kept me slightly holding on to station was Everybody Hates Chris (sorry I’m not a big fan of The Game) and I stopped watching ANTM a long time ago.
We have buying power and when they notice their ratings are tanking, they’ll go scrambling for some “filler” show. I was thinking BET needs to pick up The Game but I’m not sure if the writers will be willing to work with the Network. BET needs a breath of fresh air too…I don’t even look at it unless it’s a movie I like (The Color Purple) that’s on. WHAT A SHAME!
i’m so pissed off , i’m sorry but tyra banks is not representing me as black with her wigs…..so sad. they picked her because she is like a white girl for me. it’s just my opinion
oh and f*uck CW……that are things which push our to be ” sectarian” like they say regularly.
WTF! I won’t be watching the CW again then! CAN’T ANOTHER NETWORK PICK THEM UP?? BET! MAYBE? PLEASE THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW! everyone needs to boycott the CW! even if it means not watching Tyra- you can catch her on her talk show or something. They are always getting rid of the good shows!
im `super pissed off right about now..ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. I was a tree hill fan but just for this. I give up on the cw.. Im so pissedddddddddddddddddd
Yeah is any one really suprised I like The Game but honestly once the CW up and moved its time slot to Friday you knew it was over. I think it was all part of their plan anyway they are obviously trying to change up there image with GG and 90210. sad though it was a good show.
once everybody hates chris was said to be cancelled why wouldnt they cancel the game
GO HERE TO BOYCOTT! http://www.cwtv.com/feedback/comments.
I tired to look for a phone number no luck yet!
I am not watching it anymore. I am just PISSED!
I am so pissed, but not surprised. Like you said Angel, they never promoted the show anyway. I can’t believe they even had the nerve to bring back One Tree Hill. I didn’t even know that show still came on! Hopefully another network will pick up The Game.
A lot of us need to stop watching & supporting them if they can show respect & support for our shows. You have a lot of garbage on TV that are not being watched but yet are being renewed every season. There are three black channels that I know off, what they need to do is to have a line up of shows where the black community can watch & not have to worry about them getting pick up the next season. I think Oprah is affiliated with the oxygen network, she need to get some black shows on that channel.
“There has been no offical word yet on the status of the show save for one blogger from EW. When we hear the OFFFICIAL word you will know.
about 1 hour ago from web …”THIS IS FROM TWITTER
CW F@#% YALL! ASSHOLE OF A COMPANY! YOU GUYS KNEW THAT SHOW WAS GREAT! I HOPE SOMEBODY LIKE BET OR MTV PICK THE SHOW UP!
THANKS FOR TAKING AWAY A GREAT SHOW!
Thanks Angel
WOW…sad
From the UK here. What no everbody hates chris??? nooooooo!!!!
Glad supernatural is going still be on the rota,dont event watch ANTM anymore… Too boring! Glad 90210 is still on… The game doesnt preview over… But what no everybody hates chris. ??!!?! That show gives me stiches for years. lolll.
That’s some bull shit!! That show was always good.. I was checking for it every week!
I agree One Tree Hill been garbage.. I like gossip girl, but I loved the game.
This is ridiculous! They should try getting the show on another network.. TBS.. TNT.. BET.. TV1 .Its too good to just let it die.
I’m very sad to see The Game cancelled. I really hope it gets picked up by another network. The plots and the actors are great.
Never fails another black great show canceled,My question to C.W. why? Y not cancel all these other lame shows like Gossip Girl, Tyra lame ass,or better yet The Hills! Well u want get my rating no more,that is so fowl. Like I said C.W sucks and all your other whack ass shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!
actually I knew it was over for The Game when Tasha song “Take a Bow”. I loved the show, but barely remembered to watch it on Friday nights. I knew cancellation was inevitable once the show moved to a different day.
Thanks, I know the official word was supposed to come out tomorrow, but I had a feeling this would happen. Thanks for your support!
…DAMN DAMN DAMN JAMES!!!
…The CW definitely don’t have to worry about me since ‘The Game’ was the only
…reason I was watching that station anyway. I used to be the #1 ANTM fan but Tyra
…has gotten so desparate for ideas that the show has become ridiculous.
…I really hope ‘The Game’ finds a home somewhere else. Preferrably NOT BET but I
…guess anywhere’s better than no where at all
@ 29. Funny but true.
The CW isn’t slick though. I peeped their “game” for awhile now. I always noticed “on the set” or candid shots of the Gossip Girl/90210 cast when I look for photos to update CL. The network takes the pics and then send them to the paparazzi agencies so they get get promo on blogs, etc. Never noticed any on the set of pics of The Game. Maybe one time at the most. That tells me they could care less about the black audience. Eff ‘em.
I dont even know anyone who still watches ANTM or One Tree Hill like wtf CW???
Im a gossip girl fein but Im done with that channel… The Game was the
best effin show they had. 90210 is trash its nothing like the original
&& it never will be. WOW this is some shit rite here SMDH…..
I can say this was the BEST show I’ve ever seen. I with you.
What!!! Is this confirmed or just speculation? This is a great show and if they cancel The Game I may be forced to not watch Gossip Girl anymore lol. The Game deserves a better station than the CW and B.E.T!
IThe Game was sooo good, that fight with Kelly and Tasha was funny as heck. This show was the only reason I would turn to CW. This sucks!!!!
They knew it was going to be canceled when they did that lil’ video. I mean really I’m sorry that show is not good or quality at all. None of the Black shows on CW (WB and UPN as well way back when) with the exception of ‘Girlfriends’ possibly.
SCREW cwtv; they are beyond messed for canceling the Game, and no, America-Next-Top-Model will definitely not suffice to get me to continue watching cwtv. The Game was the only connection I had to this ridiculous tv station (cwtv). This is absolute B.S.
CW 11 is going to lose a lot of viewers over this. It’s sad to see a lot of good black shows being canceled smh. I loved this show. Now I’m going to miss seeing my boy Malik with his fine self. The show was just getting good actually. It would be great if BET would pick the show up and not just the reruns. I barely watch tv as it is, not I most likely will watch it even less now.
I loved Girlfriends. That was my favorite to watch on CW. I think that show got more viewership than any other black themed show on that network. These cancellations are no surprise to me.
For real, I know I sound crazy…but I am really saddened by this. I hope hope hope this is just speculation…but I highly doubt it…CL never puts out false info…well almost all the time…lol!! I just wish that another network would see the potential in this show…this has messed up my whole day and its only 8 in the morning…..
I just hope that someone picks this show up and promotes it the way it should have been promoted in the first place. They fulfilled their own prophecy that no one is interested in Black shows when they moved it to Friday nights and failed to promote it–they really “proved” their point. Yet another example that we may have a Black president, but we still have a fight on our hands.
Now I LOVE The Game, and I’m rooting for them all the way, & I may even take my ass down to the CW Upfronts tomorrow, but I will have to disagree with you on ONE TREE HILL! That show is AWESOME! Storylines, plots, characters and script is beyond DOPE! Mark Schwahn is like a GENIUS when it comes to this show. Though, I really hope this isn’t true. I’m sticking with the director, Matt Cherry when he says, not to believe until they get the OFFICIAL word. I know EW is very credible, but I’d like to wait until tomorrow to know the REAL DEAL. As much as I’d like to stop supporting the CW if they get cancelled, I really can’t, b/c I still watch One Tree Hill & 90210. I like 90210, but honestly, if The Game gets booted, 90210 should go with it! It’s a nice show, but can be VERY cheesy. I only started watching it to support my boy Tristan Wilds. It’s a nice show, but if it got cancelled, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.
Not surprised one bit, that show was great but the CW network doesn’t know what there doing when it comes to programming at all. 90210 and its dry story line should also be let go and One Tree Hill seriously !!!!! I will miss “The Game”, Tyra your in danger girl….
I am holding out that maybe it was not cancelled since official word was not due out yet until tommorow. the place to voice your concern was directly on the CW site. I went on and said what I had to. What is sad is that BET can only run shows in syndication but not a real show that is not a tired reality show. I doubt whether we can count on BET to save this show. There is also TVOne, but they run a lot of shows that are in syndication as well. Just further proves who still holds the cards as far as media goes. We are trying, but we are not there yet unfortunately. Making strides but still so far to go.
i am still pissed off of what they did to girlfriends they should have gave the show a proper series finale but i watch gossip girls, one tree hill, and 90210 but they shouldnt have did that to the game the finale was great i want to know their reason behind this because it doesnt make any sense to me i dont know if these major networks are gonna pick it up such as fox nbc or abc but BET or TBS definitely need to pick up the show
This always happens to our shows. When these little known networks start out they cater to us with shows and commercials for us. They build up their viewership and totally flip the script to shows that have nothing to do with us. I loved The Game and I hope someone picks up the show. It was so nice watching a real story instead of all thus reality TV they try to shove down our throats. I’m never watching the CW again.
MMH!! so the CW is looking kinda Bright!! as in White! !
WTF? I am soooooooo disgusted right! The Game was the best show on television!
Let’s be honest… The Game has not been great since it first began airing. Now, it seems almost as overdone and stereotypical as Tyler Perry’s movies/tv shows. Wendy’s character is overly “ghetto” and it is highly annoying. Tia’s character is highly dramatized and Derwin/Pooch is just stupid. The writing has gotten very bad and seems the equivalent of a bad soap op. I can see why the mess got canceled. Girlfriends it is not. Bring THAT back with the original cast. It depicted professional and college educated black women with REAL problems outside of the overly done baby mama crap and even Golden Brooks’ character, though fulfilled the normal “ghetto” role was not overdone or a hyperbole. The Game in its current season sucks. Although… just because it sucks doesn’t mean CW should’ve canceled it b/c the rest of those shows sucks too. lol.
The networks don’t care what black people want to watch. If it ain’t coonery and bafoonery, they will not promote it. Black people being showed in a civilized manner….. how uncivilized. Just because Obama is the president doesn’t mean a thing. We need to get like spanish people..they support each other to the fullest and I respect their culture for that…besides the occasional knife fight…lol. just jokes..
First “Girlfriends” now “The Game”..i think CW don’t like black people
WOW…That is simply unacceptable. The Game was an excellent show! The CW sucks. They didn’t even give the show a chance to run in the proposed 1 hour long drama format. CW sucks and I’ll never watch that wack station again…not even America’s Next Top Model, which is extremely boring now!! I guess the CW likes to air sucky, played out shows. Those LOSERS!
@ Kay Kay, they really don’t want BET to pick them up. BET will not distribute the type of money CW is. They will not pay for The Game as much as CW does, if that makes any sense. It’s great that BET is supporting their show in syndication, but it won’t really work well as far as behind-the-scene stuff that deals with financial budgets, etc.
Isn’t there something we can do to protest this?
I will call my cable company and have them remove CW from my chanel listing. I am so dissapointed right now it aint even funny. No more Cw for me!
Way to stick it to the man Angel! I wouldn’t promote their other whack a** shows either! The Game was a wonderful show! I dont understand how it got cancelled, from my understanding, it was a very popular. I guess they didnt want that many African American faces on their station…..
I KNEW IT!!!!
I knew they would cancel it just to spite them for all the petitions and everything they did, CW are a bunch of PUNKS!!!! and PLEASE dont nobody get me started on Girlfriends, cuz i will wild out in this piece!!
Isn’t there something we can do to protest this? Everybody hates Chris is awesome too so I don’t get why they’re canceling!
Well… Gossip Girl is the bomb! That’s all I have to say!
