BET’s “The Game," formerly on The CW network, made a huge
comeback from its 2-year hiatus. It boasted a 7.7 million
viewership. This is amazing for a show that has been off the air for two
years. Fans solicited to get this show back on the air when The CW
network decided to not renew the show. Executive producer Salim Akil
gives BET rave reviews on letting her be creative in writing and in advertising
for the season. Bringing “The Game” to BET is the network’s way of trying
to renew viewership and to get an image change. On top of The Game, BET
also premiered their new sitcom “Let’s Stay Together,” which had 4.4 million viewers and has another one in
the works called “Reed Between the Lines.” BET is on the move to promote
true entertainment written by talented writers, not just another reality show. The Game is being shot in Atlanta now and will
have 13 episodes this season.
