    While I do not agree with the shallow bias opinions of critics, I will agree that the first few episodes were a bit disappointing. It did however grow into a great show with great potential. The writer has brought the show back down to reality and the season finale was just amazing. I am searcing the net like a mad women trying to get a clue about next season. Give The Game a chance!

    i think the Game is a cute show, it's not close to girlfriends but I like it. I like the diversity that it brings, we should give it some time it is new.

    I love watching The Game and I was never aware that it comes on Sunday's as well. It's very interesting, I love Derwin's and Melanie's relationship, including the remaining cast member. I cant even leave my couch when it's on. I really hope that The Game stays on for some more seasons, because it's great to watch with all of the drama and I just love it.

    'The Game" is one of the best shows on t.v this fall season. It is a reason to look forward to monday night t.v. The new c.w is headed to a great start with this hit show!

    I love it! I love the relationships and the comedy. It may not be "laugh out loud" comedy, but it's subtle and on time.

    Although the game may not some of the great sitcom it is addictive. During the first season it started off slow and kinda painful to watch, but as the season progress it grew on me. Now I prefer to watch the Game over Girlfriends. (Still not the same without TONY CHILDS.) True Girlfriend fans know what I mean.

    I love this show. I think the story is belevable without being to real. Who really wants to see how proffessional atheletes "really" live? I think the jokes are funny and the storylines are relavent to today.

    The Game is really developing into a funny, interesting and real show. I am proud of Tia Mowry for making a comeback post sister sister minus her sister. I wonder how long it's going to take before her sister makes a guest appearance.

    Dang can we keep a somewhat ethnic show around... i really enjoy this show and its so real and i can definitely relate! So y'all can go somewhere with all those negative comments.

    I think that is this a great show. It is one of the most ethnic shows on the CW network. Black shows are becoming extinct. Its funny how shows like Gossip Girl (with a white fan base) fair well on this network. That show is just a predictable as any. I have seen my share of Teenage Dramma on shows like 90210/ Saved By the Bell etc.

    this show in order to be a girlfriends show needs to appeal to the demographic of girlfiends and not appeal to the masses if it doesnt change that i am sorry that it will lose its appeal at all.

    This show is hip and fresh. It is great to see an AA cast with great stories. I love Tasha, she is a trip. Derwin is fine as hell. At first I didn't like Tia, I think her sister Tamera is more hip but she is alright now.

    This is the only show I make a point to watch. I have grown to really love the characters and be moved by their experiences. My heart ached for Derwin, even though he was a dog. And Melanie's reaction to him feels very real and honest. I think the critics should watch it this season and give it another shot - I am praying it doesn't get canceled.

It's hard not to think some of their thoughts and comments are a bit racist.… Expand

    I find this show funny and very amusing. The characters are great, male and female. All those critics took it way too far with the criticisms.

    Most of these "professional critics" are a bunch of fat losers who like to watch "reality TV". The Game is not going to go down in history as one of the all time great sitcoms, but it's certainly fun to watch and the acting is pretty damn good. It did start a little poorly, but it's really got legs now, unlike Girlfriends which has hit rock bottom since Jill Marie Jones left Most of these "professional critics" are a bunch of fat losers who like to watch "reality TV".

    "The Game" feels pretty artificial.

    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.

    "The Game" lacks the relationships that made "Girlfriends" a qualified UPN hit and the comedy to make it much of anything for The CW.
