-
Mowry herself is charming and capable, and Wendy Raquel Robinson has some fine moments as the mother-manager, but it’s clear that “The Game” is to be played on the surface of these potentially interesting lives.
-
Where "The Game" botches its "Game" plan, though, is in writing punch lines that are much too broad, and in casting men who are more convincing in their roles and relationships than the women.
-
It just isn't funny. At all. Ever.
-
Despite the lethargic story and jokes that rarely elicit more than polite chuckles from the studio audience, "Game" is not without potential.
-
"The Game" is such a predictable drag, it's hard to keep your eyes on it. It's like watching traffic or a catnap or a Bunsen burner.
-
"The Game" feels pretty artificial.
-
"The Game" lacks the relationships that made "Girlfriends" a qualified UPN hit and the comedy to make it much of anything for The CW.
-
The network may have a new name, but it's presenting the same old desperate, low-budget foolishness.
-
Unfortunately, it doesn't come close to matching [Girlfriends'] appeal.
-
"The Game" commits all the sins you can imagine in a poorly conceived sitcom. It goes for laughs and sap, the world's most dangerous and noxious combination. It's also not funny, believable, interesting or... inspired.
-
A groaner from beginning to end.
-
This new CW series cranks out brash jokes that evaporate upon hitting the air, winds them into situations where women submit to their men, and leaves no aftertaste when it's gone. It's on TV, but it's never truly on.
-
A light-as-a-feather new sitcom.
-
A hollow imitation of a sitcom.

AudiamJDec 11, 2006This show is not interesting or funny. I think this show should be cancled. CW is off to a bad start with this show because it's garbage.
