"THE
GAME" CANCELLED
The CW Network did not pick up "The Game"
for the upcoming fall season. The half hour sitcom does
not fit with the CW's new hour long format direction.
This news was not a surprise, as it has been long rumored
that "The Game" would not return to the CW.
Still BET is said to have expressed an interest in picking
up the new season of original episodes, but will production
value be a compromise worth making for this urban favorite?
This comedy is becoming its own drama... will the game
go on or end with it's lack luster season finale. |
