    Good! Finally! I’m still watching the repeats.

  2. Tasha

    YESSSSSSS…..I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!!! BTW (Does 4Q 2010 mean October 2010?)

  3. Miss. Tiandez Jones

    I’m extremely happy about this. Hopefully BET lets the writer do what she wants and they truly don’t mess it up. I can’t lie I was skeptical about it being on BET, but I will give it a shot. Now if only the Boondocks could last a couple more seasons. I’m uber sad about this being the final season, after only 3 seasons of the cartoon. smh

  4. Jorgee

    I’m so happpppppppppppy.

  5. andreanicole

    I AM SOOOO EXCITED FOR THE NEW SEASON OF THE GAME!!! SCORE MERWIN IS BACK!!!

  6. Mr Back To Tha Future (I'm So McFly)

    That’s Wussup!!! lol

  7. jad

    I believe nothing is changing about the show except the network its shown on (BET)…i believe the same writers will continue to write as they have been ..The CW has no control over a writer..if a show is cancelled a writer can very well leave with the show..so hopefully all the cast remains the same although i hear the bald guy(4get his name) may not be returning because he’s scheduled to be on a new series? idk how true that is but if so lets hope we can work around that aye?

  8. NITA

    Cool now hopefully everyone will be back

  9. tommykimon

    I hope the show keeps it’s edge. I noticed on the reruns on BET they edit a lot of words that CW didn’t edit.

  10. Khinje

    Can someone PLEASE provide me with a quick recap of the last season???
    Work and school had me so busy I wasn’t able to watch.

    I know Derwin cheated and Mel went crazy and tried to sleep with Malik. The white chick (forgot her name) and her hubby are separating and neither wants to tell their daughter….that’s all I know.

  11. la_verite

    I’m a huge ‘Game’ fan. I am cautiously optimistic. We’ll see how BET does…I *really* hope they don’t screw it up!!!

  12. Anon.

    I’m not sure if I’m happy about this.

  13. LUVS of "the Game"

    @Khinje umm its way past that now. Last episode of the show Derwin and Melanie got married. Janae had Derwin’s baby. Kelly and Jason got divorced. They both started dating other people jason is dating Stacy Dash and Kellly was dating this dude named Roman. Jason fought Roman and got arrested for it. Kelly stuck by him but he went back with Stacy Dash. Kelly punched Tasha out. Tasha was gettin back with Rick Fox.

  14. MRSJONES

    OMG that is so exciting!! I’ve been trying to get my fix watching these re-runs but it’s not working anymore!! I hope the whole cast returns and that it is as good as it was before!

  15. anniieee!! :)♥

    i want to be excited but i have a feeling the show’s gonna go downhill… BET finds a way to ruin everything and this shouldn’t be any different. it’s prob not gonna be the same exact cast (i heard Derwin already announced he won’t return and that he’s been replaced with Tia’s husband, Cory Hardrict) and im prob not gonna be into the show like i used to.

    ugghh i hate BET… why can’t the show be backk on the CW??

  16. MRSJONES

    @luvs of the game

    jason and kelly were getting ready to get back together though

  17. TOHOT4TV

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best idea in a long time.

  18. SHopaholic22

    yayyy! finally

  19. Meat

    —Derwin, Tasha, Malik, Melanie, Jason, and Kelly. One of my favorite episodes was
    —when Malik got a reputation with the big girls. Big girls know how to bring tears to
    —your eyes. :)

  20. Khinje

    Whaaaaaaaat????? Thanks #15. I am so late, dayum. I’m gonna check and see if the all the previous seasons are on DVD.

  21. Khinje

    Wait a minute (just read the other comments) if the show isn’t gonna have the same cast, same writers, etc. they may as well leave it in the can…

    Can you say “Girlfriends”?

  22. angelita

    My boyfriend will be VERY Happy about this news!

  23. ava

    they already messed it up they bleep every other word

  24. ava

    @18 are u serious tia’s ugly husband is playing derwin hell no thats not gonna work i hate when shows bring in a different person to play a character like we are all blind and didnt see the switch a ru they do it with every show family matters fresh prince i cant fuck with it

  25. pretty

    i resd coby bell may not return because hes on burn notice and i dont blame him for not wanting to give up his job on burn notice because the game may be cancelled again

  26. Tat D

    They saying there waiting to see if everyone is coming back I think the show wouldn’t be the same if everyone didn’t come back hopefully everyone will !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Ladyssolady

    I just want to see Hosea aka Malik! His fine self!

  28. TheRealDeal

    PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASEEEE!! WITH SUGAR LUMPS ON TOP BET DO NOT SCREW THIS SHOW UP..it was great the way it was, I can’t wait, I love this show and can’t wait til later on this year when The Game finally airs again..whew I can feel the drama rising already

  29. baddchick

    Here we go again. I will believe this when I see it. This rumor has been going on since the game got cancelled. If it does come back on I think it will not be the same….however I luv luv The Game!

  30. DiamondLatrelle

    Hopefully, they’ll leave the show the way it was and not change any of the characters, writers or story lines.

  31. Kyla

    Ahh how can anyone NOT like The Game?!
    Looove it – just watched it today.

    I HOPE somehow everyone comes back.
    Hopefully Coby Bell’s situation works out – somehow.
    And someone mentionned Derwin not being on it?? You can’t have The Game without Derwin!

    My favourite episode is when Jason and Malik get in a fight about passing the football and what not which then causes Tasha and Kelly to start fighting.

    Hopefully nothing really changes about the show.

  32. Just Lovely

    Yes! Happy bout this but i hope bet dont jack it up…

  33. Linda K

    Wow. I can’t wait to see what Tasha Mack does to Kelly for punching her in the face. Thank you BET. And please, this show is about athletes. They need to curse sometimes.

  34. Aries

    Cant lie. Wasnt exactly ecstatic when i first heard it was becoming to BET a couple of months ago, but i guess beggers cant be choosy lol. I absolutely LOVE The Game and was very pissed that they were so quick to cancel such a good show. Im with all the people who are hoping that BET doesnt mess it up. Hopefully BET will just be the “outlet” but everything else will stay the same.

    Regarding the actual storyline of the show: i wonder if now that the show has been picked up again, do they regret marrying derwin and melanie. I think they only married them because it was techinally “the end” of the show.

  35. Aries

    *Coming

    And to the above comment, I dont think that’s true about Derwin (Pooch). I saw a video of him at a event or something recently and he announced about the show being picked back up.

  36. Not telling you

    YAYYYYY. I can’t wait!!!!

  37. cheer909

    woooooo!!!I came acorss a great hot cougar dating site.

    If you put “A GE” and “MIN GLE” together, then you will get the url.

    It’s a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

  38. Such a Diva!

    THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN’T WAIT!!!!
    P.S. THAT STILL BETTER NOT BE DERWIN’S BABY!

  39. LadyB

    Im very excited about this!! And I hope it does well on BET,this would really raise their ratings.We all know they need it beause right now BET is garbage.

    One of my favorite episodes is “Turkey Basting Bitches” because Melanie read Derwin like a book in that episode.Straight told his azz off.

  40. MSSunnySoufBunny

    i IN MY HEAD I AM SCREAMING @ THE TOP OF MY VOICE!!!!!!!!!!
    “YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!”

    THAT IS ONE ENTERTAINING SHOW… AND BET NEEDS SOME BETTER
    BLACK ENTERTAINMENT.

  41. t

    im so happy but BET took too long to get the show back. the show wont be the same without all of the cast so i hope they all come back!

  42. Star Spangled

    This is really good news. I hear “Jason” played by Coby Bell will most likely now be a recurring character. I really hope this show doesn’t change now that it’s on BET. I’m going to wait and see before I pass any judgement though.

  43. DarkEmpress

    very excited! i just started getting into the show and im surprised they would cut something so good!

  44. PaperChazer

    I’m very happy. I loved the show since the first episode. I think it’s still gonna be a hit show and a big pick me up for BET.

  45. selective words

    I wish they would do that for ‘GIRLFRIENDS’. I felt slighted when ‘GIRLFRIENDS’ ended without a finally. Didn’t they have the same creators and writers.

  46. selective words

    OOPS, spelling correction. :-)

    I wish they would do that for ‘GIRLFRIENDS’. I felt slighted when ‘GIRLFRIENDS’ ended without a finale. Didn’t they have the same creators and writers.

  47. Lex

    Lol the rumors on here are crazy but I read on Pooch Halls twitter that pretty much all of the main characters including him are returning but the actor who plays Jason may just be a recurring character instead of a main character so that he can do both shows. They do still have the same writers though. i think the only thing that will change is the cursing won’t be on there much.

  48. MissMaam

    YAYY!! YAYY!!!YA YY!!! YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

    A’ight BET, don’t F it up!!

  49. Ojeezy

    I ran into the dude that play Derwin in raliegh nc back in November at the movies. He told me that he did not know if he was coming back. He said that he plays on another show right now. He was filming step two

  50. *~*lady_love

    Oh I need Coby Bell (Jason) to come back. I have always had a huge crush on him.

  51. JodyP

    Yaaayyyyyy!!!! I luv Melanie and Derwin!!!!

  52. May

    honestly i think they should start over with season 3 because they knew the show was going to get cancelled on the cw… and they rushed that entire season… but i love that the show is back!

  53. RedboneAries!

    Finally!, but I hope BET just lets the show ride the way it was…they mess up alot of ish…

  54. Baybay

    I am so Happy! The best show on TV IS back!!!!!!1

  55. TrUe TeLLa

    YEAAAA! BYTCHESSSS!! THEY IS BACK NOW WHAT?!
    F**** CW NOBODY WATCHES THAT CRAPPY CHANNEL ANYWAYS!

  56. Ashley
