Cw Shows The Game & Everybody Hates Chris Both Canceled

The CW has announced the renewed shows returning next season. However, The Game and Everybody Hates Chris which both have predominately African-American casts were both canceled. The Game tried to avoid the inevitable axe but staging a "Change the Game Campaign." The cast members posted a Youtube video claiming over and over again that the Game was not canceled. The cast asked  fans to blog on the CW message boards to generate a million hits on the CW website.  Hosea Chanchez and Pooh were spotted at the Def Jam 25th anniversary party at 40/40.



The campaign didn't work because the CW is adding another season of "One Tree Hill" and a new craptacular Gossip Girl spinoff to their schedule.  We must also mention that The Game and Chris fans are not happy about the CW decision to cancels these shows. The Black blogosphere is pretty peeved about the CW. This is what Angel Laws at Concreteloop had to say. We've got to co-sign on this one.

For the record, I won’t be watching the LAME-ASS CW ever again, nor promoting any of their current or upcoming shows on Concrete Loop. They never promoted The Game or Everybody Hates Chris as much as Gossip Girl or 90210. And don’t get me started on One Tree Hill, that show is beyond garbage but always gets picked up every season. I guess picking up Tyra’s show (America’s Next Top Model) meets their black quota for the season. And don’t get me started on Girlfriends, y’all saw how they did that show. [CONCRETELOOP]


Last year, The CW decided to bid farewell to the WWE, resulting in a scramble to fill what had been its highest rated night. Out of that came the move of Everybody Hates Chris and The Game to Friday nights from their previous Sunday time slot (a night that is now officially in the graveyard for The CW). The move to Friday actually resulted in a nice increase in ratings for both shows over their terrible Sunday performances, but it was not enough, so Everybody Hates Chris and The Game have been cancelled. This leaves just America’s Next Top Model as the sole survivor from UPN. [source]
