BET tries to save The Game

For those of you who watch the CW, you have heard that they canceled two shows due to "low ratings" : The Game and Everybody Hates Chris. While the status of Everybody Hates Chris is unknown, the cast, crew, writers, producers, and fans of The Game are desperately trying to get the fourth season of The Game on BET. This would be a good thing for BET, seeing as though they really don't have any scripted programming, and the "reality tv" that they currently have isn't the best of quality. This move would definately be a ratings boost for them as well, and could open the door for more programming. Ever since the season finale of The Game, fans and cast & crew alike have been rallying on twitter and on the blogs to try to get BET to pick the show up. Now as it seems, BET is fighting to get the license to air the fourth season. BET already has the license to air the reruns. The hardest part of this process will be to negotiate the licensing fees and contracts with CBS Paramount, the company who currently owns The Game. Hopefully, all parties will come to some sort of agreement.

I'll keep you updated as more info becomes available.

- The Game is a half-hour comedy starring Tia Mowry, Wendy Robinson, and Pooch Hall. It orginated as a spinoff of the hit TV show Girlfriends. The Game just wrapped up its third season.
