All good things must come to an end and after celebrating four successful seasons of THE GAME on BET, the Network has announced production is underway on the show’s final two seasons.

It’s about time! That show has ran it’s course.
One of my favs. But in all honesty, it wasn’t the same when it moved to BET.

It’s time. The show lost it’s zest when they ended Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall’s roles.
