BET and the cast of ‘The Game’ will no doubt be celebrating today. For the show’s much anticipated 4th season premiere (and BET debut) last night has made ratings history.
Full story after the jump…
According to official statistics, a whopping 7.7 million tuned in to see the return of Melanie, Derwin, Tasha, Malik, Jason, and Kelly to the small screen.
As such, the show – which follows the lives and relationships of players on a fictional pro-football team – becomes BET’s biggest ever debut for a scripted series. What’s more, the latest figures more than double the show’s weekly ratings average of 2 million during its peak over at former network The CW where it aired for three seasons. {Source}
Kudos to BET for their all-out promotional campaign to support the show. More importantly, the stellar cast and writers deserves the utmost of props for delivering, with ‘The Game’, one of the best sitcoms to hit television in years. Welcome back!

BET is still on air?!
WOW
Uhm…what is up with that picture? It looks weird as if the heads are pasted on, and Tia is photo-shopped/airbrushed beyond recognition.
Anywho. I am very proud of the shows ratings, and can’t wait to see it for myself.
The show was AWESOME! I will be watching every week as well… BTW, since the show has premiered in the middle of the season, how many shows will there be?
THE SHOW WAS GREAT. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT HORRIBLE LAUGH TRACK….. WHO EVER WAS IN CHARGE OF THAT NEEDS TO BE FIRED…. !!! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER IF THE LAUGHTER WAS ON POINT WITH THE JOKES… THERE WERE TIMES I DIDNT KNOW IF THE CHARACTERS WERE BEING SERIOUS OR IF THEY WERE JOKING….& WHEN THEY DID USE THE LAUGH TRACK, IT WAS SO LOW THAT I THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS HEARING THINGS….. ONCE THEY FIX THAT PROBLEM, THE SHOW WILL BE 100% ON POINT…
PS . IN MY OPINION THE ONLY SHOW THAT WORKED WITH OUT A LAUGH TRACK WAS THE BERNIE MACK SHOW…. CLASSIC!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Yaaassss! That’s so great! I am so happy cause I loved that t show and I was so nervous that BET was gonna f^*ck it up! Luckily they didn’t! It didn’t look all cheap and low budget like I was expecting and although a lot has changed, but it wasn’t too hard to follow either.
Plus I gotta give it to BET, the promotion for the premiere was stellar! Everyone knew when it was coming on and they obviously all tuned in!Twitter was going HAM too! All the trending topics were about the show!
It was a lot going on in that first episode, but they kept me entertained! I will definitely be tuning in next week! Can’t wait!
S/N: Derwin Davis is by boo!
**In my Kelly voice** Tell Tasha when I see her on the street, it’s that ass.LOL!!!!! I enjoyed the entire show.
SO PROUD OF US!! We wanted it back and its back! What a way to be heard! CONGRAST BET & THE GAME…NOW BRING IT!!!
omg…what can i say…f***** melanie…she ruining everything for her man…she could have just accepted it and moved but nope..and now everythings gonna be runined!!!!
And i hate the way they made kelly be…SHES A B****!!!

hahahahahahahah peace!!
I’m a huge fan of The Game and I’m so excited about this new season. My entire family loves the show and will continue to support the show!! Last night lived up to all expectations and more!!!
Amazing
Great News. I am pleased that the show’s doing so well because it’s something fans fought to bring back and I’m especially happy that it’s pulled in those ratings for the BET network. I think everyone’s opinions of last night episode is fair, there’s nothing wrong with a little constructive criticism. I know that it’s just that everyone wants to see improvement and have the show be up to par. I will support The Game, it’s still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen on television!
I absolutely love this show! I am so happy for The Game, we fans worked so hard to get this show back on the air, and it paid off. Eat our dirt now The CW Network
Huge !!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited about this. Now support more shows like this. Give the people quality and they’ll support. Thats like the biggest show on BET !
Can’t watch it over here where I am but I’m happy that it did so well! Not a huge fan of the show but its great to see EBT pick up a show that another channel dropped. Congrats to them.
YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! CONGRATS!!! LETS KEEP IT UP FANS!! EVERY TUESDAY AT 10 PM ON BET!
Chile i cant wiait for next week!
I hope that baby really isnt derwins!
Janay was looking pretty silly when he questioned her!
And what happen to derwin when he came back home to melanie? He was holding his face like he got beat up? Did janay put her hands on him?
Tasha MACK was cracking me up last nite! “That chile’s momma and daddy come from generations of NAPS”

The show was very impressive last night. The only bad thing was the awful laugh track. Someone needs to fix that pronto. Other than that, I am pleased with the show and will continue watching. It hasn’t lost its touch.
The show was really good and its great that BET pulled in those ratings. The only thing I didn’t care too much for was the direction of Kelly’s character. I thought that I was the only one who noticed that about the laughing track. Lol
Great comeback! Lot’s wiggle room for plot twists and turns. and that picture does look weird. Jason gets no respect, the top of his head is chopped off.
Where has Kelly Pitts been with all the promotions? I like her
GREAT NEWS!!!
I GUESS THAT DUDE LEAKING THOSE NAKED PICS OF HIMSELF REALLY WORKED.. NEVER SEEN THE SHOW BEFORE BUT I SEEN THE PICS 🙂
Wait, is that Regina from The Steve Harvey Show?
YASSSSSS!!!!!!
*Lets my Pooch Hall stan out*
Yes that is Regina from the Steve Harvey Show.
And yes Kelly is from White Chicks.
And yes that is Tia form Sister, Sister.
Anyway I’m glad The Game had a successful premiere. It’s a great show! And I’m sure BET received many non-African American viewers last night as well.
Pretty good comeback considering we waited sooo long! I absolutely ♥ this show. Thanks BET for bring it back.
luv it derwin is just hot forget da rest

O where do i start first to the writers i just love the way you have us as veiwers wishing we could see the next episode tomorrow. I love how you have demanded our attention every time the show airs you’ve put veiwers to the point where no matter whats going on I gotta be home to watch the Game and if the cable gos out for some apparent reason I’m contacting every communications business i know..GOD,wlbt, nbc, mtv ,bet,wkrt in cinncinatti, wjtv, abc,cnn,fox,own,the veiw, facebook, twitter, 106 n park,oxygen, and so on and so on bottom line i’m a huge Tasha Mac fan and overall the show itsself . I predict the show will be around along time if you keep up with life what is known as THE GAME!!!!!!!!
My favorite show ever! Loved the premiere, and im so glad they are back!
I must say i am proud! I thought someone should pick up the show, and when i saw BET playin reruns! Yea Thumbs up Bet!
WOOOW.. Those are Jersey Shore ratings! I really like this show and can’t wait to see what the next episode will be.. whoooo go head THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
test
YESSS!!! 7.7 I HOPE && PRAYS IT CONTINUES!! IT WAS AMAZING && CAN’T WAIT FOR IT TO CONTINUE, THANK GOD THE GAME IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!
YASSSSSSSSSSS! Hopefully it stays this successful the entire season, which would guarantee more seasons to come! It may have been more because there were SOOOO many people that threw a party for the premiere which means more people were watching on one television. I, myself, went to a party, so if people watch it from their own homes the following weeks it may be even more.
LEGGO!
STANDING OVATION!!! 7.7 Mil.
Let’s see if the greedy folks from W E T (white entertainment television) try get them back on one of their networks. They know our capabilities and they don’t want us to take the shine. “Don’t hate the player Just watch the Game” lolol on BET
It was like it never ended two years ago…
Very proud! Can you put the show on at 9 instead?…lol Even though I have DVR I don’t want to miss it @ primetime and have ppl BBM or FB me talking about OOOO shyt!.
Meagan Good… DAMN she looked xtra s*** …OH WOW! Nice addition.
I’m not mad at ole boy Terrence … He did his thing with the seasoned actors.
the Game is really getting somewhat boring…to me they need to get more of Rick Fox, back on the show and bring back the drama him and Tasha had to spice things back up again.
