TV BIT: CW’S ‘THE GAME’ HAS BEEN CANCELED
Wednesday, May 20, 2009

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.

Okay, I understand we are all upset about the way CW is treating The Game, but I mean, bashing the other shows? THEY have NOTHING to do with what CW chooses to do with The Game. I’m sure most of you that are talking about these other shows don’t even watch the shows religiously. I’ve watched One Tree Hill since season 1, seen every single episode, and it DOES have depth. Has real life issues, especially for young adults. Now that they are “grown” in the more current seasons, it applies to adults, but can also cater to young adults as well. Yes, they DO get more promotion than The Game & Everybody Hates Chris, ESPECIALLY Gossip Girl, which I do NOT watch, but I wouldn’t call it wack, just because I can’t get into it. Different strokes for different folks. Just because YOU don’t think it’s hot, doesn’t mean it should be cancelled, or is entirely wack. If that was the case, and everyone felt that way, the show would have been off the air long ago lol. Everyone is complaining about it being cancelled, but most of you I’m sure did not HELP with ratings. Either you didn’t watch the show religiously, or you TIVO/DVR’d it which does NOT count as live ratings. So most of you guys bitching and moaning about the CW, YOU could have helped by TUNING IN. Now, it’s too late. Not saying that the CW is not Effed up, but the audience have a part in what the outcome may be as well..Everything can not be handed on a silver platter. Networks do NOT work like that. You gotta put in, to get in!
P.S: CW did NOT cancel Everybody Hates Chris. Chris Rock pulled the show himself. It may have been for personal reasons of his own, or issues with CW that he could not come to agreements with.
CW effed over Girlfriends, and probably now The Game (until we get the OFFICIAL results tomorrow), let’s learn our lesson for NEXT time if we get another URBAN television sitcom on the CW.
P.S.: I agree with the person that mentioned that Oprah/Tyler or someone should try and create a Network that SUPPORTS the black community and their art. That’d be great if they could do something like that. Yes, other than BET. That station is crap, sorry.

All the black shows on the CW never get a proper series finale, shows that will go several seasons. They just end. I watched Half and half, that went went off to die, Girlfriends no ending and now The Game. It makes me so mad cause they change the line up so you have to hunt for the show when you change up your routine because you want to give support and you love the shows and then what do you get for watching, a f*cking cliff hanger not a series finale. I think Mara needs to shop her show ideas to another channel even though the CW may have given her a shot and probably pay her more then a BET or TV1 but even Lifetime, Bravo or could pick it up. I’m done with the CW The Game was all I was watching on that channel anyway.

The game was the best show left on cw, they are soooo stupid for canceling it. Tyra banks show ” America’s Next Top Model” is wack this season shit her show shoulda got cancelled. Have you noticed that in recent years they have took off all the black shows and did them dirty. Girlfriends,The Game,One On One, Everybody Hates Chris, etc… The list can keep goin on like. WWE wrestling is so anchent and they still got that shit on.

The Game and Everybody Hates Chris were some of the best shows on TV, not just on the CW (Reaper was pretty funny too). The best shows are the smartest shows and the smartest shows never get the audience they deserve. Stupid shows like Gossip Girl stay on and get watched by mindless followers.
And…
I want more black sitcoms! I’m sick of watching the Tyler Perry ones! Back in the 90’s there were tons, what happened??

Maybe TBS can pick up The Game? Everyone keeps saying BET, but TBS would give them a broader audience and they’re already carrying house of payne and meet the browns. I think they might do well there.

……..I was reading the produces of The Game is trying to get BET to pick it up….. The only catch is the cast would take a 10% cut in pay… I pray it gets picked up!

BUT EVERYBODY THAT IS BAD MOUTHING ONE TREE HILL NEED TO CHILL OUT, IN MY OPINION IF U WATCHED THE SHOWED SINCE THE BEGINING THAT U WUD PROLLY GET IT AND MAY OR MAY NOY BE INTERESTED WHO KNOWS. I KNOW ME PERSONALLY CERTAIN SHOWS DONT SEEM ALL THAT TO ME BECAUSE I PROLLY START WATCHING THEM TOO LATE AND DONT UNDERSTAND THEM. GOOD THING ABOUT THE GAME WAS THAT U CAN JUMP RIGHT IN AND START WATCHING IT AND STILL BE INTO IT….ONE TREE HILL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS AND ITS JUST A SHOW U PROLLY GOTTA WATCH SINCE THE 1ST SEASON, BUT I AGREE AND HOPE LIKE EVERYONE THAT B.E.T. PICK UP THE GAME AND TAKE OUT SOME WACK SHYT THEY ALREADY GOT ON THERE

I love the show. I hate that it came on Friday nights. Any show that moves to Friday nights are on the way to be cancelled anyways. Most people are either not at home or doing domestic duties on Fridays. As of today, I quit watching the CW. We all need to start boycotting these companies that do whatever they can to hold us back.

People, PLEASE stop saying BET should pick up their show. BET is NOT up to their level! It does NOT work that way. There is more than just support as far as a network picking up a sitcom. BET would have to come BETTER than that. They don’t have any shows (non reality) that they are carrying as of now (that’s not in syndication) I honestly don’t know any other station that would be GREAT for The Game to be picked up by. CW is THE station with most of the more popular sitcoms/1 hr drama’s there is! All the other networks have nothing but reality shows. Yes, reality shows are very popular these days, but it is NOT the same format as The Game, which is NOT reality, but FICTION. Plus, it’s a totally different audience with reality shows and sitcoms/1 hr dramas.
118.

Wednesday, May 20, 2009 /
Yes Bambino, me too lol. Also, to Ricky, that’s exactly what I’m saying. I can’t agree with BET picking them up though. It may seem like a GREAT idea from the outside looking in, but on an industry and business level, it is NOT the wisest choice. So people need to let that idea go about BET, TV1, etc. Another network needs to be developed, and ran by someone popular/pop company. Also, if The Game does not get cancelled, HOPEFULLY they change the airing date to TUESDAY before 90210. I think that’d be a GREAT spot for it to be aired. Not too late in the week nor in time. CW is playing games…

@ Stomie it had nothing to do with ratings, The CW is cancelling there half hour shows which is why there pushing to make it an hour long! The Networks use black shows to build up an audience then cancel them after they have to make room for more shows like 90210, and one tree hill.
Look at shows like Steve Harvey, The Hugleys, and of course Girlfriends.

that list is from ew.com. its NOT OFFICIAL. everybody hates chris stopped because he never finished HS and CR wanted to keep it true to the timeline. there is still hope people. go to cw site ( google cw network game) and read the post.get phone #’s and start calling in. do not let a good show go to waste.
one tree hill is garbage.its the same at 90210 ( i mean that show came on already) ANTM isnt even real. those girls are too old to be top models anyway.
GO SUPPORT ITS NOT TOO LATE!!!!1

If anyone has been following The Game, Matt Cherry or Tia’s twitter pages….they are all saying that this is not offiical. I read the same line up for the CW on EW’s (entertainment weekly) blog, but it is said that the cancellation of the show would come out as a press release and not just on a blog. Also Tia said that she had not yet heard this from Mara Brock Akil.
I am still keeping my fingers crossed!!! SAVE THE GAME

I co sign 100% with you Angel. CW is full of shit. They obviously don’t want the show to go on. They have made that very clearly by barely promoting the show, constantly moving the time slots and canceling it even after they specifically asked for The Game’s thread on the CW message board to get over a million posts, which I also help contribute to might I add. This very same thing happens whenever a network wants a show off of the air. I saw this happen many times to shows like Bernie Mac and even Arrested Development and that was a show with an all white cast. I won’t support that network ever again either. Although I like ANTM, I’m just going to have watch the next cycles on You Tube.

They have so many corny shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC. When I am channel surfing I honestly cannot believe how some of these shows have made it for as long as they have. What we do not realize is that while white people may not always agree and get along, white people support white people, while black people help to destroy their own people and are quick to idolize and take sides and support people who are not their own. Its displayed every day on these web sites and on BET. Let a white person come on 106&Park, the audience will straight go crazy, they don’t have to do much besides be White and throw some of you a smile.
I just watched the final episode last night. I guess we’ll never know who the baby daddy was. It wasn’t a great show but honestly its real life and those situations happen everyday. Maybe not for you and me but for someone. And even more so its great to have a predominantly black show on tv. Not just a black guy or a black girl to say, hey we do have one of them on the show.
Anyways someone mentioned Oprah and Tyler Perry, well Oprah is too busy getting shows for her White counterparts, she probably has never heard of The Game. Oprah, to me, help more White people advance than blacks. And I wouldn’t suggest BET because they will just do overkill and stop all of us from watching the show. U know how they show stuff a trillion times, we would be so tired of re-runs we wouldn’t even realize when a new episode was on.

Ridiculous.
1st of all the save the game campaign was very sucsessful. They wanted a million hits on the CW message boards and got OVER a million. The response was so great it caught attention all over the web. Not to mention the ratings of the Game have doubled the last 3 weeks beating out 90210 in the ratings and they want to get rid of this show because?
This is what i hate, here we have a black President and still no love for the black sitcoms. They “sprinkle” a black person here and there on tv and think thats enough. It’s sad because this was a good show, and Top Model comes on Oxygen now anyways so as far as the CW is concerned, it doesn’t even exist to me anymore.
I thought the fate of the show wasn’t even going to get decided until May 21st anyways so WTH???? Ridiculous, but look at how they did Girlfreinds, so are we really surprised?
I know BET wants to pick it up, so fingers crossed, this will not be the end of The Game. It’s ridiculous.

its a SHAME that One Tree Hill and 90210 are still on! Angel you are so right, both of those shows are garbage. I am watching Gossip Girl on janky online sites from now on!
I think ABC should pick it up since that what they are doing now, picking up cancelled shows. It would be perfect, they can have a black audience for the first time EVER.

This has been going on forever. Fox, the WB, CW, they all followed the same script. Start a new network with black shows, have black people get into them and faithfully support them, get them rating numbers up, then start adding white shows as they cancel the black ones until there are nothing but a bunch of shows about lily white, wealthy blondes. What can we do? We are so desperate to see stories that reflect our reality that we patronize these networks and make them able to do it every time.

i heard that is was chris’ decision to cancel everybody hates chris. supposedly, he was running out of material. he had an okay run. as for the game, i loved the show but oh well. i was never in the house to watch it. i always scrambled to BET to watch the reruns. hopefully BET will pick it up (which i doubt).
people still watch AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL? puh-lease. that show is DRY DRY DRY. i haven’t watched since the black girl danielle won. remember tyra’s flop show “stylista”? lmao!

Y’all are BUGGIN! One Tree Hill is a GREAT show lol. Mark Schwahn is a mastermind, honestly. 90210, I wouldn’t be mad if they cancelled it, but I can’t hate on the show, just because it isn’t The Game, or my ultimate favorite. Same with Gossip Girl. I don’t watch it, so I can’t attest to that. As far as RATINGS, yes it DOES have a LOT to do with it. It’s not the ONLY and main thing, because we also know it has to do with the 1 hr long format. There are rarely any sitcoms on the CW Network, which is why Mara pitched to them the show in a 1 hr dramedy format. Do NOT get all worked up until the OFFICIAL word at the upfronts tomorrow morning.

It’s never a surprise when black casted shows get dropped prematurely. When channels become upstarts-they flood their channel with Black casted shows. Because they figure we’ll look @ any dreck they show us. Then as the channel gains popularity, the Black shows fall by the waistside until they’re all gone (ie Fox, WB, UPN and now CW). This is nothing new.
I know, unfortunately-that none of the channels targeted to AA’s will pick The Game up, either. BET is too lame to realize how crappy their programming is & TV One probably doesn’t have the $$ to acquire it.
@ any rate-since they’ve taken most of my shows off (The Game, Prison Break, Privileged) I’m going to use this as an excuse to stop watching as much TV. It’s Mad Men and nothing else.

@54 Chillson…Thanks for the explanation. Now that you say that, it makes sense. But now that I think of it, the show really did not get much exposure. Like someone said, plenty of commercials for Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, 90210 and Smallville. But then again, I see those commercials when I am watching The Game. I dont give the other shows the time of day, but does anyone know if they were running promos of The Game during any of those shows? Maybe it is not fair for me to say they didn’t promote the show if I don’t really see the other shows on the network. Either way I am saddened to see it go if it is truly gone. They were getting better to me. The cameos were good also. That to me, actually showed their growth from their first seasons.

When black shows has substance and does more than entertainment, but show black people in all of our diversity, ut has to go! They use us to get advertisers for particular time slots and to build new networks to pave the way for sub-standard or av erage white programming and we are booted off. Ths writing on that show was really tight…they masterfully wove together various storylines without become stupid…how often will we see a black med student, pro ball player, a black publicist, sports agent, a black pro baller player having a thing for “big girls”…a white and black couple telling the truth of why they go together… easy dumb blond and gold digging themes…that’s why Tyler Perry controls his products, like his work or not…”he says when and how much”…
That’s why it’s appalling how we love to see people fail and don’t lend support or pick and choose who’s deserving of our support. In the meantime, we lose more and more jobs in the entertainment industry, while we demand to only have one or two people on top as stans…it’s stupid, that’s why they devalue us so often.
They can’t stop Tyler Perry because he has a strong fan base, his people support him.
Britney Spears was able to sell music and give the worst performances of her career because her fans stuck by her through all the madness…the the Grammys took the show to Rehab for Amy Winehouse…why?…because both sell records regardless of anything and Britney is a very successful brand…why?…because her fans supports her bottom line. All we do is look for flaws in pics and talk about who’s career is over!!! I just wonder, does these people want anything themselves?…if you’re out there grinding, most intelligent people respect another’s grind…it ain’t easy…how many people are even trying to live out their dreams?…Personally, I’m at my best when I’m celebrating myself, and others…whether it’s dude in the middle of traffic selling fruit or water…I support our street vendors…or an actor getting a plum role…I have a low threshold for fake people and mean people, especially, “mean girls.”
WE MUST CONTINUE TO CREATE JOBS…OUR DEGREES WON’T BE ENOUGH…WE NEED MORE AND MORE POWER BROKERS…CL IS BECOMING A SERIOUS POWER BROKER…WHY?…PROMOTING OTHERS, DUH!

The Cw is racist and I truly believe they never intended to promote the black shows. I guess
since we not acting as rappers drug dealers or hoes our shows get cancelled. The Game was a positive show for all races, and I am PISSED CW CAN KICK ROCKS

I’m all about black shows, and supporting them BUT this show was really wack. The acting was terrible, in my opinion I’m not surprised that it did get canceled. Pooch Hall needs acting classes ASAP, and Coby Bell & Tia Mowry should join him. Wendy Raquel was the only person actually work watching.

@Exactly Nick. Some people are just NOT understanding how this works. Do NOT write or call BET or petition anything to them for that is NOT what the creators, writers, producers, directors etc of The Game want you to do. BET SEEMS like they’d be a great outlet and pick up The Game, but they are NOT. Please get that through your heads. Yes, BET is airing the previous seasons, but it’s totally different with syndicated shows.

They really didn’t promote it good at all. A lot of people that watched it on BET didn’t even know that it was on the CW. This sucks because I love that show, and of course they want to get rid of the black shows! I hope the have second thoughts and bring it back.

Not too much promotion + people that knew about the show, but always TIVO’d/DVR’d & didn’t watch it AS it aired = fail.
Can’t ONLY blame CW. The audience takes part in this as well.
