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.

It always seems to be the same exact shows that get picked up year after year. 90210, One Tree Hill ( they should have cancelled 2 seasons ago), all the same crap. I must admit though I love Gossip Girl, it is pretty cool. The game had well written scripts and the cast was wonderful. I hope someone picks the show up, I will be watching.

I am not surprised that the THE GAME is cancelled. The only way black shows have a chance is if we participant in the Nielsen Ratings How many of our households are selected? I’ve never met anyone…

Im really tired of so many sitcoms that feature black actors being cancelled…The CW seems to be the biggest one doing this…look at thier statistics, All of Us, My Wife and Kids, Girlfriends, and now The Game? The Game is actually a good show with great story lines. I enjoyed Girlfriends for years and am sorely dissapointed that such a long running show did not even get a finale. Im really scared for television today. Do we ALL have to suffer through 90210 and Gossip Girl and just be happy with thier ONE or non-existant black actor ?!

This is some staight is some racist shit! They and I mean the “white networks” couldn’t stand to have that show on there in the beginning. The Game was there #1 black show period and they didn’t even give us anytime to try to protest or blog they did the same dumb ass shit to “Kevin Hill” that starred Taye Diggs and I really liked that show because it was more of a drama but it simply shows how they dont care about the black shows they rather bring 90210 and fuckin Melrose place showing dumb ass rich white brats smoking and doing god knows whatever else. this shit really pisses me off they just don’t want to see blacks with nothing alot of people watched the game FOR REAL!!!!!!! But I guess its all about the mighty dollar. The producers even wannted to turn it into a hour ling drama.nYou fuckin lame ass dumb ass cw network and go suck a phat one because that bullshit ass newtork is staright garbage!

I’m so mad at the CW and I do like One Tree Hill I have been watching it since it came on and I love America’s Next Top Model, but I have to boycott the CW. I feel that the CW uses African American shows to get ratings in hopes that you may stay tuned to watch the other shows that come on that have nothing to do with African Americans. If we all boycott the CW then they will know we are serious. A commenter stated the CW did Girlfriends wrong because they did. The faithful viewers waited years to see Joan get married and they stole that from us like they steal everything else. So SUCK BUT CW because you have lost another faithful viewer. PEACE

What a great show! I guess the ratings was really that bad.
Sorry to see it go. I knew it was going to be drop once they started moving it from network to network.
I hope they are picked up and go for a one hour show.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this show! I bet I can prove that if this show is not renewed a segment of the tv viewing audience is really going to regress because of the recession… This show allows many to escape a collective reality and tap into a reality. The show is telling it like it IS… We know that people watch tv differently in 2009 - tivo, internet, syndication - the ratings are not accurate… Please get in touch with me, I would love to help to lead ANY campaign to put this on someone’s fall 2009 line-up… At this point I am afraid that the cast will have to find other gigs… We have to act now!

Am with the rest of the people, WHY, WHY, WHY. The Game is a very good show, great writers and producters, etc. I have watch The Game since its been on. I hope like everyone else that another network will pick them up.
“CW” you are krazy as HELL!! I bet the “CW” will put another show with a all white cast in that time slot.

Why in the hell they will cancel The Game? that is one of the best sitcoms ever, that is not fair there’s a lot of lame sitcoms out there that have to be cancelled. so sad because another black show will be gone again, The Game is the only reason why I stayed home every friday night.

I totally agree that CW network is crap! I will never watch it again! They x/o really powerful, enlightening and truth spilling shows. This BS remaining is for only a certain demographic or fantasy land lollipop dreamers. MOST ppl “they” know don’t live like the ppl on 90210, One Tree Hill …etc.
And what do Black ppl have to relate to anymore anyway? EVEN BET has sold out to White America for the Green Dollar! Once again eliminating television with realistic views and perspectives. It’s just sad and I am sick of it… JUST SICK OF IT!!!! *America’s Next TOP Model.. hmmm… if Tyra really cared about how The CW disregards ‘REAL’ Black television… she’d pull her show and sell it to another NETWORK just because…
CW SUCKS!

I don’t understand how and why this happened to The Game outside of Girlfriends this was the best show ever made to me. There is something that has to be done about this people keep posting your comments on cwtv.com and write letters to the station so they can see how important this show is. Hopefully the show will get picked up by Tbs or b.e.t.. The cast was a talented group of people. Once the show got moved to Fri nights I knew somthing bad was going to happen most people be out kickin it on fri nights. To hell with the CW

What the hell do you mean The Game is Cancelled? That was the only reason i watched CW. CW already messed up the flow with moving the show to friday’s and just as it was getting juicy and interesting, you cancel it? Now what do i do? Everyone wants to know what will happen beyond the marriage, and if the baby was even derwins… Come on CW (or someone), bring it back!

I am really going to miss the show, it started getting better in its later season. i don’t understand why CW11 canceled the show, I would rather watch the Game instead of tyra’s tired behind america’s next top model! Just like american idol, tyra’s show is old and tired.

I loved The Game from the 1st episode. CW changed the airing date & I still watched.The show was excellent and had a lot of potential plots left. So sad & this is 2009. I’ll watch a rerun on another channel or pop in a DVD before watching the shows left on CW. Maybe the CW will go the way of GM - bankruptcy. We want The Game and when you don’t give the public what they want you lose revenue.

The game would be extremely successful if they gave it better treatment….1st of all tho show was given friday at 8 which is the weakest time of the week…on top of dat the show wasn’t promoted at all in comparison to the other CW shows…..i hope BET picks up the show and makes millions off of it….becuase the fools behind the CW will lose a lot of support for hat…abd by the way….america’s next top model is trash…it sucked for yrs now…..
