The new season of the hit sitcom "The Game" premiered tonight on BET. Judging from Twitter it was met with mixed reviews. Past cast members Rick Foxx and Stacy Dash were long gone from the script, and a new "Britt Brat" (Jason and Kelly Pitts) daughter looked about 18 years old. New faces were added with TV and Radio personality Terrence J playing Tasha Macks boy toy and Meagan Goode as Malik Wright's whore. Basically...
Malik is going through some type of mid life crisis. Being an asshole to everyone around him while also having a not so secret affair with the owners wife. He even stooped so low as to have sex with his ex assistant Tee Tee's girlfriend. I hope this gets better because Malik used to be one of my favorite characters. Kelly and Jason Pitts are still divorced, but now Kelly has a new reality show in the works called "Ex-Ballers Wives". Seems that BET is poking fun at a particular catty show on VH1.
Melaine and Derwin are "happily" married and Mel is "happily" playing step mom to Derwin's bastard child but decides to do a paternity test behind Derwin's back. It comes back negative and Melaine sends Derwin into some type of whirlwind depression which leads him to confront his babies mother Janae. Just when we were all cheering for joy, Melaine's friend calls with the real results. Little Derwin Jr is in fact Derwin's. But the question is, will Melaine tell him and correct her big stupid mistake?
Can we talk about that 3 second walk on role with Sheree from the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" that was quite odd. Or how about Terrence J's shirtless scene. I have love for my bird chested brothers everywhere. Kudos to Terrence for having so many ventures popping at one time. As a black community lets praise our success, not downplay it.
All in all I enjoyed it, but BET never lie to us again and say it will be an hour long premiere when you have at least 30 minutes worth of COMMERCIALS. Thank you though for bringing a black sitcom back to television!
