What do you think? Do you like The Game TV show? Are you glad that the series has been revived by Paramount+?
Dont cancel THE GAME. It is a great show. It’s sad that there are not any decent black shows on TV. It seems that the media isn’t happy with a successful black show unless we are acting like some fools. Case in point Flavor Flav show. That show could stay on for as long as it wanted to and no one would say a word. THE GAME has a great story and the black actors and characters are educated. I guess it is too much to handle in the still racist world. KEEP THE GAME ON!!!!
I am realy sick about THE GAME getting cancelled I watch this show every friday and sunday this is not fare this is a well made show with classy actors that EVERYONE can be proud of we dont have that many shows on were people of color can be respected and proud and positive and this is that show when we can be proud. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont cancel this show THE GAME needs to be on television.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!
Please dnt cancel the game. this show is one of my favorites I dnt want to see that it is cancelled because the cw wants to put other lame shows in front of it. This showi is based on reality of what someone will go through. So consider not cancelling the show.
Please don’t cancel the game.
I LOVE the game, it’s the BEST sitcom on television! Please don’t cancel it.
Please do not cancel the game at all. I am not sure if the network doesn’t care about its african american viewers but if you remove this show there won’t be any viewers after that. You’ve already cancelled one of your most watched show which was girlfriends and lost a great amount of viewers. It’s suicide to cancel the game.
I really love this show this is my favorite show because of the diff lives that all come together..there is hardly anything good on tv except reality shows and how long will that last??
so please DONT CANCEL the game PLEASE!!!
Don’t cancel the game. It is a good show.
I am extremely sad that The Game could possibly be cancelled. I love that show. It seems to me that CW is trying to rid itself of all the african-american centered programming. Before the company changed from the WB it was a haven for shows where the people looked like us and made us laugh our axx off. Now i feel like we are being kicked to the curb. The african-american shows has been moved from mondays, to tuesdays, to sundays, to accomodate programming for the majority. Friday nights is a death sentence for tv sitcoms. No one is home… Read more »
My family and I love the Game please give it more press and more time to catch on.
Please do not cancel The Game. I love this show, give a shot, stop bouncing it around the week. All the good shows, they cancel.
Please dont cancel the Game this is my FAVORITE show!! There already isn’t too many shows on the CW network that appeal to the african american audience and canceling this show will cause the station to lose even more viewers…
i pray that the game comes back in the fall. it is unfortunate that with all the tv shows that are on the air, i would have to hunt down something to watch that is relatable to me as an african american viewer.
please bring back the game.ilove the gamethat is my favorite show.
