The Game Is Back

In case u been living in the closet like R. Kelly for the past year, u already kno that BET was in the works of aquiring the popular CW series The Game..well people its almost a done deal. We might as well call it a done deal at this point because BET will soon announce that its taking over production of The Game, but of course moving to a new network means a name change, so it will now be called "Game".

Most, if not all of the origional cast will return. There's some politics that need to be worked out because following the cancelation of The Game on the CW network, the options of the actors expired and new contracts need to be negotiated. BET will work in conjunction with CBS studios to produce the new episodes and the show will take on a new showrunner; Salim Akil who is husband to the previous showrunner Brock Akil, so its still in the family. No worries because Salim Akil served as the main director for The Game when it was on the CW and he co-wrote some episodes, so the only thing we can expect to be changed within the dialog of the show is some of the language used (yall know how BET like to bleep out certain words).

Honestly people, I saw this coming. The Game is too popular within the Black community and once the CW "canceled" the show that community went into an uproar calling and emailing the studio like crazy to get the show back on the air. It was those calls and emails that got the show renewed onto a new network. Another hint that BET was in the works to aquiring all rights to The Game is if u notice when a show goes into sydication its re-runs are shown on numerous networks. The Game was only shown on BET, which is an indication that new things were in the making and we as an audience just needed to be patient and wait out the lengthy negotiation tactics of the entertainment industy. I guess now we'll finally find out how everything ends up, with the new baby, marriage, divorce, and new love interests the show left off wit huh. Im ALL man but I cant wait to see how this all plays out.
