NEWSFLASH! BET Pulls The Plug on ‘The Game’….

Oct, 8 2014 | Written by ATLien
BET’s hit sitcom ‘The Game’ will hit the airwaves for it’s 9th season soon, but according to a recent press release, it will be their last!

It was only a few years ago that BET ‘saved’ the popular scripted series after it was canceled by it’s original network.

The series originally aired on the CW network, but BET picked it up in 2011, becoming that network’s first original scripted series.

While fans were pleased to see their favorite show revived, a series of cast shake-ups forever changed the show.

[FLASHBACK: Do You Miss Derwin & Melanie on ‘The Game’?]

Well, now it’s time to finally say good-bye to the show y’all already stopped watching years ago…

More details about BET’s decision to cancel ‘The Game’ below…

BET recently released a press release on the issue, stating:

All good things must come to an end and after celebrating four successful seasons of ‘The Game’ on BET, the network has announced production is under way on the show’s final 2 seasons.

In January 2011 the cult following of ‘The Game’ proved that the show was a fan favorite with 7.7 million viewers for its premiere debut on BET.

With seasons eight and nine, we’re excited to end on a high note by giving Sabers fans a chance to bid farewell to their favorite players on and off the field.

The 9th and final season will air in early 2015.

What do you think about BET’s announcement?

Shocked? or Nah?

- Tehran Johnson
  
  Everyone wanted it to comeback and when it did, it sucked! It never recovered. And I honestly thought it was already off! No one even talks about it. BET Should have brought back girlfriends!

  Hasn’t been the same since the CW move.

  Good riddance. After the third season and BET picked it up, it was all downhill from there. It was ratchet and ghetto, and after they wrote Melanie and Derwin out, it was definitely over for me. #byefelicia
- Charles Collins
  
  I already thought it was off
- Robert Timothy Durè
  
  I’m glad it’s gone. They can’t act, it wasn’t funny at all.
- Dida Ronee
  
  Away with the ratchetness !! Boo & Bye

  Totally agree with Dida Roni. That show is produced by Kelsey Grammar. He is a very wealthy Caucasian male,that protray black race as ignorant, uneducated, slutty men&women. He also had storyline of interracial couple that broke up but black male went back to his poor white trash ex-wife, left his black woman at alter on her wedding date, & his black sss proclaimed his undyn luv 4 his trailor trash ex-wife. Although show is fictional stereotypes are real. Kelsey Grammar old ass, gettn rich off of hood behavior of charactrrs in that train wreck show!he had no clue bout real black american culture.

  Finally!

  I love Tasha Mack,but I stopped watching once Derwin and Melanie left. Brandy was trying to hard to be ghetto and Lauren London’s character made me feel like I just took a sleeping pill.It was fun while it lasted! MICHELLE,WHERE’S THE RECENT NEWS? BIG NEWS OF THE DAY! NENE LEAKES JUST BECAME BRAVO’S HIGHEST PAID STAR!!! SAY WHAT YOU WANT,MS LEAKES BE DOIN THE DAMN THANG!! NO LOANS BROKEY(CYNTHIA)!

  Tasha Mack is another ignoran whorish character on show. Glad that shit is being shut down took 2long!

  It should’ve gotten cancelled a longtime ago.
  
  Beejcee
  
  Yep, like there should have never been a fifth season. When BET picked it up, they should have had the finale season and let it go. I am so disappointed in the way they turned the cast into caricatures of themselves. Melanie spent all three seasons on the CW working hard to finish medical school. The first season on BET they turn her into a mean a$$ed housewife. I am glad I purchased the first three seasons from the CW on DVD.

  Is there anyone that is surprised? Like Anne D Brannon said, after #BET picked it up, it was all downhill from there. I don´t know what the script writers at BET were thinking. They wrote out Melanie and Derwin, and the other nonsense speak for itself. Shoot, if that´s the best BET could offer, then the The Game on BET was better left dead. #PointBlankandthePeriod

  What the entire f**k!! I love The Game. No, it wasn´t what it use to be after we partitioned for it to come bk yrs ago. My only issue is that, Lauren London & her on-screen boo are so boring, & their acting & storyline is so blah….then they sd Kelly was coming bk, yet she rarely appeared on any episodes. But we should give it ANOTHER chance, maybe it´ll get better. We are dealing with the creator [Mara Brock Akil] of Girlfriends & Being Mary Jane. So hopefully TVOne or another network picks it up!

  Once BET renewed the Game they should have taken notes from CW because they took out everything that made the Game the series it was! Bet ruined this show and to see it end I am not surprised BET made it ghetto and boring! CW kept it classy, crazy and fun and real! Once they got rid of Derwin and Mel and made Tasha Mack the ghetto queen that was it!! Tasha was too old to act that way and that is not how all black women are but as usual they went to the How to ghetto encyclopedia and said okay this is how they act and that was that so Farwell to the Game you will be missed
  
  Oh well

  soooo in a damn agreement @SmikleSmikle…with the exception of that ugly-ass Free and gay-ass AJ..hated them two with a passion, but loved the Big Tigger and Julisa duo to the utmost. Stopped watching BET after they got rid of Big Tigger and Julisa..and yall know how long that’s been. and they need to get rid of that pathetic, wannabe-all-that CEO that Debra-chic. She’s a total zero. Mr. Johnson f*cked big time and wholeheartedly turning over the network to her loser-ass. she is BET’s spiraling downhill downfall.

  I LOVE THE SHOW WITH THE NEW CAST. I SAW A FEW EPISODES WHEN IT WAS ON THE CW BUT COULDNT GET WITH IT. I STARTED WATCHING THE SHOW WHEN LAUREN LONDON WAS ADDED TO THE CAST. I EVEN VIEWED THE PRIOR SEASONS ON NETFLIX JUST TO GET BACKGROUND. SAD TO SEE IT GO. MAYBE BECAUSE IM JUST GETTING STARTED.

  Bout damn time. Damn! Shouldve been pulled the life support plug on this ish. Getting rid of that boring-ass Mowry chic was the best thing the show did; bringing in that sorry-sap Jay Ellis whom cant act to save his life was the worse thing ever;
  Got so sick of the character of Tasha Mac’s ghetto and ratchetness and got sick of her son’s overly-arrogant character. Good damn riddance. And please dont return. And please not another network re-pick them up. Let it die.

  yeah it got lame

  Good. After awhile when something has ran its course you let it go. Besides,i lost interest when they aired an episode in which they joked about Tasha Mac having had a stroke. NO JOKING MATTER! My mother suffered 2 strokes back to back and being her caregiver i can tell you ITS NO JOKING MATTER!! I watch&help mom everyday with basic necessities we take for granted. Writers should be more careful of story lines unless its a serious issue not to joke about especially STROKES!!
- Vanessa Dennis
  
  That show sucked when it left the cw
- Brian Johnson
  
  Good, because they made everything really about money, could have kept original cast and this show could still be a very hit, but to start letting go tge individuals who made the show because certain cast members want a unecessary paid day, well proven point greed cancels everything out at one point or another, especially after so many ppl fault to keep it around, all the emails, and post on fb, twitter and etc, Good bye Game..

  Let’s be all the way real. Tia couldn’t act for s#it. She was corny and so was Derwin. I was glad they left. It is way better now with the people they replaced them with.
- T ShoeLady Lenzly
  
  It used to be light and funny. BET changed it into a Soap Opera of sorts and it went south to the point of no return. When they removed Melanie & Derwin it took the nucleus out of the show. I won´t miss the story line but the talent of some of my favorite characters yes.
- Darren Johnson
  
  Yesss , about time..
- Kharisma Young-Ewing
  
  I missed Derwin and Mel…they should have kept the old couple (mel and Derwin) and integrated the new ( blu and Keira) Mel could have became a big sis to Keira.
- Philip G. Smith Jr
  
  It was time, they will make big money overseas in reruns, nine years is exceptional! Story line became old news!
- Perri Forrest
  
  Blue and Keira didn´t fit. Horrible acting, and even dumber storyline! But at least the Akils are giving us a finale with the last two seasons.

  I´m not surprised.

  Nahhhh… That shit was boring I never watched it
- rene
  
  I thought at least Mel and Derwin were going to at least be visiting and updating us on what they were doing. The Jason and Chardonney story line started of great, but someone dropped the ball on the writing. I really don’t like Keira, they should have been more creative with her being a virgin, instead they made her a crazy drunken stalker! And Malik, they done him wrong, they should of kept more of a football story line for him! It was about football and all that comes with it! remember "The Game" what happened to that!
- Candy West Howard
  
  After Dewin and Mal it just was dumd but Malik and his tv mom was still funny and tete to but brandy chardonnay or whatever was dumb blue and lil wayne bm was stupid they should´ve paid Dewin and Mal the that top $$& the show would still be good ijs.
