The Game: Double-Episode Finale Tonight
May 15, 2009 by Chandra
Tonight (May 15) from 8pm to 9pm ET, fans of The Game will most likely reach the end of the line when it comes to the still-kickin’ comedy’s existence. Unless a truly surprising reprieve occurs between now and next week, when the five major broadcast networks announce their 2009–2010 schedules during their respective upfront presentations to advertisers, it’s likely the sitcom will be no more.
The hourlong, two-episode send off tonight consists of the installments “I Want It All and I Want It Now” and “The Wedding Episode”:

CW Hands Out Early Renewals – No ‘Chris’ or ‘Game’ Included
February 26, 2009 by Chandra
Should we be worried, Everybody Hates Chris and The Game fans?
Earlier this week, The CW announced its early decision to renew six series for an additional season: 90210, America’s Next Top Model, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Smallville, and Supernatural. As the list clearly shows, Everybody Hates Chris and The Game aren’t included. Neither is the midseason dramedy Reaper, but that show is unique because it has yet to premiere during the current 2008–2009 season.
So, my question is do sitcom fans have cause for concern given that no pickup went to either of The CW’s only series in …read more

The latest new episode of The Game is called “The Negotiation Episode,” and it airs at 8:30pm EST tonight, January 9. Fans of Robin Givens’ appearances as Malik’s PR wife should be happy to learn that she shows up again on this installment, as well.

The Game: ‘The Side Part, Under Episode’ Preview
November 21, 2008 by Chandra
The November 21 episode of The Game with the odd title “The Side Part, Under Episode” is all about Melanie hooking up.

The Game: 3.02 ‘Mel-odrama’ Recap
October 12, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: October 10, 2008
Everything comes out in the open during this episode of The Game as the three main characters gather for an afternoon swim. As a result, they all learn that Kelly is divorcing Jason, Melanie’s man Derwin has a baby on the way with Janay, and Tasha is sleeping with Rick Fox (couldn’t they have given him a fictional name? — I feel weird writing that).
In fact, it’s Tasha who speaks up and refuses to go along with Melanie’s immature plan to sabotage Janay by dragging her name through the mud. A single black …read more
