It's Official - The Game will return for a 5th season!!!

BOOM BOOM CLAP!  BOOM BOOM CLAP!  It's Game Time!!!!!

BET has officially announced the renewal of BET's hit scripted television series, The Game.  The show will return for a 5th season in January 2012.  It will be back with 22 episodes (instead of the measly 13) and viewers are expecting it to be good.  The show has captured the 18-49 age demographic range and averaged the entire 4th season with 4.18 million viewers each week.  The show originally aired on the CW network and was dropped because of extremely low ratings.  Currently, the show is doing better than the highest ranked TV series on the CW, the Vampire Diaries.

I had no doubt in my mind that there would be another season.  As much as viewers complained about the new attitudes of the characters and how much they liked the previous personalities, they continued to watch because they enjoy the whole "drama" aspect of the show.  In many ways it mimics real life.  I mean, come on... admit it.  We all enjoy a little bit of gossip and action every now and then.  It's crazy when I talk to my friends about the show because it's almost like we know the characters personally.  We're simply catching each other up on the latest news, rumors, and speculations.

All in all, I'm looking forward to the new season.  Everyone stay tuned for season 5 of BET's The Game.

Until next time....
