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?

I absolutely love The Game. I have watched every episode and every re-run. The show indicates what goes on in everyday life. I’m reatlly hoping and praying the show will come back, I love all the characters; especially Tasha, that is my girl. She reminds me so much of myself. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
The Game was a phenomenal show. I would really like to see this show picked up and BET would be very stupid to not pick it up.
I really miss this show. These characters were real, there stories were captivating and I can’t accept that it is over. I feel like I’ve been left hanging. I have a very meaningful and busy active life, I can’t believe I can’t get pass this make believe telivision show???!!!
The game was one of the truly enjoyable shows that I watched. There are only a few shows that actually still contain real actors & actresses. Unfortunately most of the TV now is “reality TV” or crime TV. I hope there is a way to save The Game. At this point there is so little real entertaining & watchable TV especially for the African American viewer.
We want more. We want to know what happens with Melanie and Derwin. I’m mean come on, they finally got married. And Sharon is right. Malik was maturing and even becoming likable. I no longer saw him as a manwhore. He started to show that he did have a heart. Is there anyone out there at BET who knows what a gem this show is? Come on bring it back and you will never regret it.
please keep the show on its real no bull the best show ive seen in this time
I enjoy watching the game, please continue the show Its one of only shows I watch on. Regular basis…. Make a come back I’m not done, and the rest of the fans…
This shows has a character, or two, that everyone can relate to. There is nothing else there like it. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Who doesn’t want to see what happens with Tasha and “Rick Fox” or Derwin, Melanie and the Baby. Also you can’t forget Malik, dude was just coming into himself.
SAVE THE GAME!!!
Pleeeaaaassse pick up the show BET. Then you guys will finally have a show with quality. I can’t wait to find out what happens with each character. This is the only show where you like every character and don’t have to fast forward on DVR through the characters you don’t care about. You just watch and FF through the commercials. Come on now, bring The Game back!!!!
The game is a very enjoyable show. This show is the show everyone talks about and watches. Now everyone is getting tired of the re-runs of the game on BET. Please make a new season
pleeeease let the game return there is a lot of people loved the game. most of all i love all the cast and it was my escape. so pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!
!!!
isnt it funny how BET jumps at the chance to air crap like soul plane and paper soldiers ( about dudes who do nothing but rob) that do nothing but degrade us as black people, but when they have a chance to continue a good show they choose not to.
I am The Games biggest fan. i watch all 3 seasons before it even came to BET. There’s not that many t.v. shows that are real anymore. Everything is reality t.v. and people claiming they are looking for love. I am tired!!! The Game was a great story and came to catch many friends. Please dont take the Game away. There is so little hope for good t.v. and when the fans get attached it becomes political. For example Sister Sister, Girlfriend, Fresh Prince of bel-air, The Cosby Show, Parent Hood, Family Matters, In the House and many more that… Read more »
I hope BET does the right thing and renews The Game. We have so few refreshingly intelligent sitcoms left. It would be a shame if they do not invest in it. I know the public is hungry for good programming like The Game again.
This show is worth waiting for. I reallly hope BET picks up the show for season 4 and beyond!!
