"The Game" is Cancelled, Now we can return to our regularly scheduled program



I have never seen this show, but for months now, "The Game" or er, the fate of "The Game" has been sort of an internet phenomenon. Stars have made countless youtube videos petitioning to save the show from cancellation and there was even a message board petition campaign on the CW website that met the required signatures, but didn't much have an impact. Its good to see people rally behind something that most would perceive as filler for a ridiculously out of touch start up network. In fact, I have issues with the CW only because of what it represents, the decimalization of consumer choice and interest. So when these networks were the WB and UPN, respectively, and thriving, the studio Suits (the WB being owned by Warner Brothers and UPN by Paramount Studios) decided that they gave consumers too many programming options and instead they combined them into one gloriously shitty network called the CW. Well instead of the somewhat renaissance and nuanced programming of both separate networks we get nothing but teen fodder and not just any old teen fodder but rich kid, privileged teen fodder which in today's times, is like being homeless and watching someone eat a porterhouse in your face. I guess shows like "The Game" and the also canceled and thriving on that other network "Everybody Hates Chris" made it possible for people over 16 to watch the CW, but now they see their way humbly to the crapper and the unemployment line. Its good its canceled cause I could never figure out which twin from "Sister, Sister" this show even starred...talk about getting off to a rocky start...you should never split up those two...never!!!!

  1. First off, it's Tia Mowrey that was on "The Game". Tamera Mowrey is on a show on abcfamily called "Roommates" http://abcfamily.go.com/abcfamily/path/section_Shows+Roommates/page_detail

    since we should never split the two, i wonder how long "Roommates" will last...at least it's not on the CW.
