‘The Game’ Fans Pissed, Open letter to BET : Pooch Says He’s Not Leaving & Tia Still Working On Contract



News broke earlier this week, that both Pooch Hall and Tia Mowry Hardrict were not returning to the popular series ‘The Game’ after five seasons on the show..

After hearing this all the true, “The Game” fans spoke out…

 

I can remember like it was yesterday when I broke the news after some of my friends started the petition to bring the show back to TV.

.

Now the fan’s who was once in love with the show, have nothing but hate and feels the shows personality has been destroyed.

 

Here’s what the fan’s who started the petition to bring the show back to TV had to say… (P.S. some of the words have been changed out of respect)

This our open letter to BET, Akil Production and Staff. Hopefully you”ll post it.

Hey Freddy

We created a facebook page awhile back about the direction of The Game since its return on BET. We strongly believe that the shows productions company and BET used the show as a stepping stool for other projects and ventures.

Since the signing with BET , the Akils have produced, Jumping the Broom and Sparkle and paid very little attention to the current state of the show. This ultimately lead to what we believe is the demise of the show. Yes, its just a tv show , however its bigger than that. The show lacks integrity and fails to provide a positive representation for the African American community.

Since the show returned to BET, we’ve seen a “ghetto” Brandy, a gun totting, weed smoking, sex addicted, angry black woman in Tasha, a drunk in Malik and a marriage that seems to have an issue every other week with Melanie and Derwin.

Not to mention the sudden exit of the only white cast member -Brittany Daniels, which is questionable. We received sloppy written story lines that lacks continuity,bad lighting and poorly directed episodes. This is sad as television shows on a whole are on a decline especially shows that are reflection of our community. The show declines in viewers every week , now averaging 1.9 million viewers , from 7.7 million in two seasons, Both BET and the Akils should be ashamed in their selfish plot ,after we the fans fought for the shows return. We’ve reached out to both BET and the Akils on twitter and facebook in the past, which resulted in us being blocked ,along with anyone that posted constructive criticism of the show. BET, Staff and the Akils along with any other future production company should pay attention to the fans, and the quality of programming they provide, if not, this will not be the last show , that will quickly fail.

Signed-

Now I have to ask what do yall think? Is the show still Good? Or is it the fact that its been on TV so long that its hard to keep up those great story lines they originally created? Do yall think BET should bring in new cast members to spice it up?

The homie NecoleBitchie reports Tia Mowry gave her first interview on ‘Sway In The Morning’ yesterday, and although she was somewhat tight lipped about their departure, she revealed there wasn’t any friction between the cast or the producers and it was a ‘mutual decision’ to part ways from the show.

When Pooch feels comfortable enough to talk about it, I’m sure he will but I can just talk about myself. Right now I can tell you it was definitely a mutual decision.

When asked if she was disappointed that she wasn’t returning , she responded:

 

You know what, it’s all good. It really is. I’ve been on the show 5 years. I had a great time on the show. I’m very happy with what I did. I love Melanie so much that sometimes I forgot to shut her off. There is no hard feelings [but] I’m here to talk about my book and ‘Tia & Tamera’.

Interesting enough, Pooch Hall was on the show on April 27th, along with Tia who called in and the two kind of hinted around that there was trouble in paradise and that they may not be returning. Pooch even admitted that he thought it would be stupid for them not to return for Season 6.

On whether she is happy that the show is getting picked up for a sixth season:

um Yeah, I hope I’m coming back.

Pooch Hall on whether they would be returning:

Things happen. We are working some stuff out and as far as our chemistry and as far as Tia and myself, people [were] comparing us to the new Martin and Gina and we know how big Martin was. I think that as far as Tia and I, as far as being this power couple and this Hollywood couple on the show, it would almost be stupid for us not to be on season 6.

Tia on whether she would be returning:

We are still kind of working some things out , so yeah. I really don’t know what is really kind of going on but I want to come back to the show and its my choice to come back to the show. I am really excited to be coming back to the show but as it stands for right now, I don’t really know whats going on for sure.

Pooch on whether he would be returning:

Yo Tia is not going anywhere, Tia is the show man. As far as working out that stuff, (contracts) that stuff takes time. It’s not like add water and you got pancakes. You gotta put eggs and milk and stir it up and put it in the bowl.

Sidenote: Check out Pooch’s face when Tia was asked if she was looking forward to the next season was everything.

  2. Ted Cyrius says:

    BET stay fuckin things up!!! First AJ and Free, next is Terrence and Rosci, now The Game!!! I’ma start a petition to get BET off the damn airways. -____-

    I love this damn show, I’m a loyal fan til I die and they have been getting a little sloppy with the plot and things. At first it was a little slow to pick up, but now its getting better and then they talking about no more Melanie or Derwin Ding-Dong Davis. FML!!!!

  3. Ladii says:

    The show isn’t the show without derwin and Melanie….out of all characters that’s who they get rid of. The show went down hill as soon as bet got it….there was open space for the show to continue on the track it was on, on the cw and get better. But they didn’t put the back into it….no thought about scripts….it just turned ghetto….typical stereotypical black issues. I had such high hope for it and I can honestly believe that they used it to push their other projects. Now I see why Tracy Ellis Ross didn’t want them to pick up girlfriends,…she saw what they did to the game

  4. TT says:

    To be honest, I hate this show now.

    Tasha has become too over the top ghetto, Brandy they could have left her name as Brandy on the show, Malik could they create a better story line for him, I mean his girlfriend overdosing in his garage………oh please horrible. Melanie I hate the direction they have her and her husband going “no where”. This show is awlful, it’s so sad considering we don’t have a pick of good black shows to look at. BET shame shame shame, I refuse to watch “any” of their shows after this bull-ish.

  5. uck says:

    THEY WANT YOU TO BE PISSED OFF AND RANT FOR THE SHOW TO BE CANCELED. THIS IS TRULY THE WORK OF THE ILLUMINATI, (VIACOM). THEY ESSENTIALLY CONTROL THE NETWORK SINCE THE ORIGINAL OWNER SOLD IT THEM. NOW THE PLAN IS TO DESTROY THE STRONG POSITIVE IMAGE OF BLACKS. THEY KNOW THAT TIA MOWRY IS A STRONG POSITIVE GOD-FEARING WOMAN, AND THEY TOOK HER OFF THE SHOW TO BRING IN WHO??? BRANDY! NEED I SAY MORE?

  6. DREAMBIG says:

    BET IS FULL OF CRAP.. THE SHOW IS NOT THE SAME ANY MORE FIRE THE DIRECTORS AND PUT IN NEW STAFF… I BELIVE THEY HAVE NEGLECTED THE SHOW AND WORKING ON OTHERS THING WHICH ALLOWED THE SHOW TO FALL OFF..

  7. mildred says:

    GAME OVER! THERE IS AN ONLINE PETITION TO CANCEL THE SHOW! BET SUCKS AND IS DISRESPECTING FANS AGAIN!!!

  8. Gemini69 says:
