CWTV’s The Game Has Been Cancelled

I didn’t want to be like everyone else and jump the gun. Even though I already knew the outcome, I wanted to wait on the official statement from Mara Brock Akil or the CWTV network but got it from Tia Mowry aka Med School via Twitter. Looks as if they are not going to renew the show for another season. If you’ve been following the show then you can’t be too surprised by this. The show has been on a steady decline. I’m not sure if it was the writers or the stories were just coming to a head but you can’t say you didn’t see this coming. It had it’s moments toward the end though.

I’m hurt that the show is cancelled, not because of the obvious reasons. I mean I would love to see more of Stacy Dash, but the reason I’m hurt is because now the only black shows we have to look at are the VH1 reality shows and the horrible Tyler Perry foolishness “House of Payne” and “Meet The Browns”. None of these shows are on network television so that means that without ‘The Game’ and ‘Everybody Hates Chris’ there aren’t any black sitcoms, or dramas for that matter, left on network television. I.E. NBC, CBS, ABC,CWTV and FOX. I really hope TVONE picks it up Since BET didn’t pick it up. Which actually may not have been a bad thing, if you think about it.

I hate to see the show go but like the saying goes, all good things must one day come to an end…
