Just abandoned moesha for The Game. I loved this show when it was on - well the OG cast before Derwin and Melanie left. And Jason Pitts is still one of my favorite characters from any show ever.

season 1 let’s go

1st 3 seasons were so good and I was hype when they brought it back but it fizzled immediately for me

I remember the first 3 seasons being VERY good and me and my girl at the time was hype as shyt for it to come back to BET. But the BET seasons just didn't have that same energy the first 3 seasons had.

I'm pretty sure most of it was the change to make Tasha the main character but i didn't like that Jason/Kelly broke up either. I hated Brandy's character.

First 3 season were good and the show had potential but the rest went downhill very fast. And for dudes who were pro football players, the show felt cheap and needed a bigger budget to feel “convincing”.

I could’ve seen this show work on a different network with a much stronger cast. It’s weird to look at Pooch in his role and see how much of a fool this dude turned up to be as Darryl in Ray Donovan lol.

but I wonder was there a change in writing team for the Game at some point because the changes on this show felt very noticeable for sure.

I liked brandy’s character, I could not stand jay Ellis and Lauren London, they couldn’t act for shyt and had zero chemistry

I just got to season 3. This show had great writers on the first run. The breakdown of Derwin and Melanie’s relationship was handled really well. Jason is by far my favorite character.

The BET seasons were terrible. Season 3 ended with everyone’s character arcs more or less resolved. They had to regress everyone back to season 1 status. Seasons 5 and 6 sucked because Blu was completely unlikeable. You know shyt is garbage when they bring back the original cast for the final episode.

Was thinking about getting into this. My swears by the first 3 seasons. Just realized it's on Hulu.
