Time-Out on The Game

I called a false start on the first scene because I guess I just expected a little more. There seemed like a lot of dead air after each character’s line. You couldn’t really hear the “crowd laughter” too well. And it didn’t come in on every “punch line”.

Now, I DID NOT approve the network to draft Meagan Good’s ass either. Those lips get on my nerves some kinda bad. Good thing my husband missed this episode because he would’ve been getting the “side eye” for the whole hour. *side eye*

The cameos were cute though; Chris Webber, Sheree and Terrance J, to name a few. And I do mean, just to name a few. There were so many cameos, I thought they just had a re-cast… but still kept everybody else… except Brit. WTH? Brittany made the show just as Jason and Kelly did. Brit mattered!

I had to throw a flag on a couple occasions. The first flag went to Toya’s Family Affair commercial. I was not expecting to see the N.O. crew just pop up after Tasha and Terrance J’s steamy scene. Toya’s Family Affair reminds me of Keyshia Cole’s show or maybe it was the Neffe and Frankie’s show. Either way, it seemed incorrect. Inappropriate and way too early. Show that joint next month or something. It’s not coming on until April. Wait a minute! I think Toya’s book come out in April. I need to talk to her publicist or whoever set all that up because the timing is kind of right… as far as publicity and business is concerned. Not right as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t really understand the purpose of the Black & Mild prop at all. It even landed a spot on Twitter’s Trending Topic list, I hear.

You know, they really had me because I got a little wired over lil DJ not being Derwin’s. “Janay’s gold-digging behind!” Melanie knows damn well she was wrong for doing that paternity test. Somebody on Twitter tweeted: In the case of 2 year old Derwin Davis, Jr, you are not the father! I screamed so loud. I thought that tweet was the funniest of them all. And there were a lot. Melanie needs to just get it together. When she said, “I do,” she accepted the situation. What’s done is done. She had her chance to walk away if she couldn’t handle it and she decided to stay.

Another flag. Whose idea was it to have The Family Crews promo their new season also? This is not the Super Bowl. All these extra shows and promos and things being thrown into the game was un-necessary. I was not interested in Terry or Toya.

Poor TeeTee. Y’all know he go’n tell the Saber’s owner that Malik is banging his wife. Don’t say nothing cause you ain’t hear that from me.

Now, of course Melanie is going to tell Derwin the truth about the DJ actually being his son. Y’all know Melanie ain’t that type. She may have acted out last season with Jerome and McHottie or whatever but she don’t have real balls to hold something like that. As we’ve already seen.

Even though the beginning of the hour long episode started out kinda shaky, I think BET did a good job. I can’t wait to see how they’re going to include Tia Mowry’s pregnancy in the show, or if they would even consider including it. She does have a twin. So the show was cool and I can’t wait to see the next episode next week.

Congrats to the cast and crew of The Game and shout out to BET for taking the show onto its network. I only wish great things for the combo.

Time In.
