    I believe people who do not like the show, are people who are to racist or have thier heads to up thier buts to realize that the GAME is a DRAMA COMEDY not a GOSSIP GIRL or 90210 that reaches past just one ethnic group and is far more believable for that industry!!!!!!

    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.

    I really enjoy the Game. The characters are funny and serious at the same time. It offers real life situations and that's one of the things that I and a lot of other people look for in a show. I leave work 15 minutes early every evening just so I can watch the reruns. So of course I hope and pray it doesn't get canceled. And if it does that another network picks it up.

    WTF!!! The Game represents Black successful individuals, an interracial couple, and real life experiences. People find that intimidating and want to criticize it. I personally love this show and hate that it's getting these kinds of reviews. But hey, it's expected and I know "the race card" but look at some of the sitcoms that are "hits" and these shows go beyond the boundaries. WTF!!!

    I love this show. wouldn't miss it for the world. I been trying to get the information on season 3 season finale. there was this song playing when melanie went out the door and cried. is that heather headley and if it is what is the name of that song? getting back to the show in general, I am 45 year old african american female.

What that this show gives me is warm comedy, real life stories of semi famous celebrities and their girlfriends. Also its nice to see tia play an adult version of her childhood character. Also I love Raquel 's comidic character as always. but on the serious note, they are becoming more sensative to the outside world, but it is all real. no need to change the show apeartance and the theme. leave it be, it is what it is. Changing it would make it something else. stick with what the show is rally about.… Expand

    The Game is one of my favorite shows. I look forward to watching it every week. It started off kind of shaky but has gotten better and better each show, each season.

    This is one of the best Shows that I have seen lately! I love it and can't wait until Fridays so that I can see what's going to happen next. And as far as white people acting as if they don't have similiar issues girls wake up and please get real.

    This is a really good show, better than a majority of the cw shows that are on throughout the week. The story line is interesting and if you are a sports fan you can relate to it.

    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.

    Best show on TV. Let's not sugarcoat it, its obvious the critics are Sex in the City enthusiasts, a show the entire Game audience gives the same review as they gave the Game. Please understand that there are a segment of society that enjoy this type of material. Stop trying to categorize positive Black TV, there is not enough of it.

    Just another ghetto show trying to be ironic but is washing up slap-stick. I'm not racist, but it IS just another black person show. Where the white people are always portrayed as dumbf**ks.

    This show is great! I do think different audiences will think different about the show! Different audiences like different things, and I am sure all the critics of are of the same audience!!

    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.

    "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.
