  • Starring: Coby Bell, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Brittany Daniel
  • Summary: Don't call this "Girlfriends" spinoff "Footballers Wives," since there is already an Americanized version of that British soap heading to our shores. But if you prefer watching women date pro football players in a comedic, half-hour format, "The Game" is your show.

    Mowry herself is charming and capable, and Wendy Raquel Robinson has some fine moments as the mother-manager, but it's clear that "The Game" is to be played on the surface of these potentially interesting lives.

    Where "The Game" botches its "Game" plan, though, is in writing punch lines that are much too broad, and in casting men who are more convincing in their roles and relationships than the women.

    It just isn't funny. At all. Ever.

    This show is not interesting or funny. I think this show should be cancled. CW is off to a bad start with this show because it's garbage.
