Unfortunately, there’s still no official word on BET picking up the CW’s discarded-but-beloved sitcom, The Game. While there have been plenty of rumors (here and here for example), it hasn’t happened yet.
The latest rumor of The Game being revived came last month when some of the cast tweeted that they were heading to Atlanta. Some jumped to the conclusion that they were flying in to start shooting new episodes. Not so.
They were actually reuniting for a special episode of The Mo’Nique Show, a talk show hosted by actress and comedienne Mo’Nique. Those taking part are Coby Bell, Hosea Chanchez, Brittany Daniel, Pooch Hall, Tia Mowry, and Wendy Raquel Robinson.
The cast reunion airs tonight at 10pm on BET and hopefully fans will finally hear that the revival is “Game on!”
What do you think? Will you be watching? Is this a good sign for The Game’s future or just a way to get ratings for Mo’Nique?
UPDATE: Though previews showed Mo’Nique asking the cast “Is The Game coming back?,” this portion was edited out of the actual show. No mention of the sitcom’s future was made. Disappointed?

False advertisement for REAL!!!! I never watch her show either and recorded on DVR just to see The Game Cast and of course to get the answer to the million dollar question…Come to find out, after many times rewinding thinking I had missed it, they never even showed the part!!!! That’s DIRT!!! I’ll never waste my time like that again, Monique is corny any ways.
OMG PLEASE BRING BACK THE GAME..I FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING I ACTUALLY LIKE TO WATCH ON TV AND YALL CANT TAKE THAT AWAY!!
I was very disgusted…. I usually watch Mo’Nique’s show but I was let down. I had been waiting for that episode to come out and when I finally seen it, I was disappointed because I didn’t learn anything about the game’s future. The Game has to come back on because Tasha and Kelly have to make up and Melanie and Derwin have to live happily ever after… I know kind of Cliche’ but I miss this show. COME ON BET, you got everything else that we Don’t want to watch on there but SOMETHING GOOD ON so BRING BACK THE… Read more »
I was not home but i recorded it on my dvr and i was very dissappointed with what I stayed up all night to watch. Monique show was defiitely not my favorite but I watched it from time to time after this I don’t know the show really put a bitter taste in my mouh because i am such a die hard fan of The Game it is by far my favorite show and I would love to see a new season on BET but they are definitely starting off wrong with the false advertisement(sorry for all the runon sentences).… Read more »
What is the process for a network to pickup a show? It is obvious that the show has a large following. What is the problem? How can Ms. New York and the Atlanta Housewives (any of those fake housewives) get a show, and the networks can not pickup The Game?
@Donald Sawyer: Picking up a show is all based on how much money a network thinks they can make from the advertising — after paying for the show to be made. Reality shows are usually much cheaper to produce than scripted programs.
I totally agree with the disappointment. I can’t believe how we were lead to believe that we would atleast get a reaction or answer from the cast members. I’m really hoping that the Game will be back better than ever! Moniques was wrong as well as BET for letting this occur!
I LOVE THE GAME AND TO THINK THAT THE SHOW ISN’T COMING BACK I THINK CW CAN KISS MY ASS I LOVE THE GAMES SHOW I WATCH IT EVERYDAY AT HOME AT WORK ON MY PHONE. SO I HOPE BET CAST IT ON IN MY FLAVOR WORD THEYUSE ON THE GAME IS DA WHAT UP IN DECUES LOL LOL LMFAO******************************:(
I love, love, love the Game. I really need a season 4, at least for closure. What’s happening with Jason and Kelly! Will Rick and Tasha get married next? Is she gonna’ start managing Poochie’s singing caree. What about Melanie and Derwin, what’s happening in their marriage and with Jany and the baby???!!! I need to know these things, so hell yeah, I was dissappointed when Mo’nique didn’t say anything. Goodness, the fans deserve to know. BET, PICK THIS SHOW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am very disappointed because i watched the monique show only to see that part and they never mentioned it. i was so exicted about hearing that question and answer so i hope that it will be a season 4 asap because i love that show and it just cant be over
I waited all week to see the Monique show to see if the game was coming back, and that question was not asked nor answered. i love the game I watched it on the CW network and now on BET but I am tired of repeats. I think we have to all face the truth the show is not comming back. I hate the way it ended it left me hanging waitng on another season. I’m tired of wandering. It was wrong what the Monique show did that is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT i only watched to see if the game was… Read more »
My family and I were very disappointed since we watch the Monique show everynite @ 11:00 and last nite was the break point. It was preview all week that the Entire cast of The Game will be there, true indeed but the true question was if the Game was coming back the question was never asked. That’s why MORE Viewers tuned in to watch the Monique show was in FACT to find out if the Game will do its 4th season. That should speak for itself !!!!BRING BACK THE GAME EVERYONE LOVES THEM!!!
hearwant the game . best show on bet. please consider the viewing public that watches all the reruns daily. I happen to be a white female age fiftyfive that is hooked on this program . My sister is fiftyfour also hooked . WE ARE BET FANS . I also watch LIFT EVERY VOICE. All Bobby Jones shows. please BET give us THE GAME. Thank you Charla Molina Vacaville CA
In my opinion the game is a GREAT/EXCELLENT show ,my family and I ENJOY watching it ,it helps out people in relationships ,because 80 out of 100 or more people go threw similar ordeals. The cast are funny , great ,and down to earth acters. I watch the game everyday on B.E.T its very interresting ,how could you take a show like that ,that is so real away from us fans. Im Disapointed in the Monique show because they didnt tell us fans if the game is gonna be aired again. I hope the producers of the Game come to… Read more »
How do you advertise something and then not deliver? I watched the entire show and even ran it back to make sure I didn’t miss the question and it was NOT THERE!! I love this show, in my opinion THE GAME is the only comedy worth watching on t.v now! This was definitely a ratings play for Monique’s show, but my question is, if THE GAME is not coming back why have the cast on? The whole point of appearances on talk shows is to promote projects so maybe this is a good sign!! Let’s hope!!!
I echo the comments of the other posts. I never watched the show before BET picked it up. I am hooked on the show now . I’ve been on the internet all morning trying to figure out the answer to Monique’s question.
I can’t appreciate BET deciding to edit that portion out of the show. I was very disappointed that it wasn’t addressed at all.
I hope BET decides to pick the show up. Like Monique commented, you become invested in the character and I’m not ready for it to be over so soon.
