Canceled by The CW due to low ratings, it gets picked up by BET and debuts with 7.7 million viewers. :eek:

More signs of life beyond network television. :cool:

That is crazy!

With those kinds of ratings BET will have to give that show up to VH1.

yeah, I'm scratching my head on this one. A lot of people (even people I wouldn't think watch BET at all) where posting Game-related statuses. Particularly all the women.

And i'm like, "it cant be that old show that got cancelled."

I was thinking the same thing Torchita. There were a bunch of women on FaceBook with Game related status updates. Like @ least 20 plus that I saw saying they were tuning in to watch. Who knew?

maybe the CW didn't promote the show like it should have in the first place.
i haven't seen it but i did search for it so i can check it out now... see what all the fuss is about. had to search for BET first - lol!

but if the show is 2 years old and they just going to show the old shows or they actually going back into production?

Back into production. There's a good article in the New York Times about the show's journey.
