I love this show! I'm a huge fan. I love the story line, excellent writers, captivating acting! I'm glad they show it on BET, however, myself and ALL of my peers would love to see new episodes! We all agree that we relate to the characters because they are in our age group and experience what we experience; similar to what the show "Soul Food" did for my colleagues who are a little bit more "mature" than myself. Does anyone one know how we can get this show back on the air?! Who do we need to beg?! I'm so happy that the DVD is FINALLY going to be available for us to purchase! I can honestly say that I KNOW for a FACT that this DVD set is going to make huge sales! After watching just 1 episode, I was hooked (not in a bad way)! Please bring our show back, Ladies night is not the same without it! Our boyfriends and husbands even watch it. It's so much I have to say about this show because it's truly a favorite of mine and all of my friends.

This show is great. I love Melanie and Derwin. The drama and realism is great. I am so sad they took it off the air. I would consider getting HBO or Showtime if they showed it. They need to put this show back on air it gave a lot of young actors a chance as well as it was one of the few diverse shows on television!!!

My wife and I simply love this show. Love the comedy, cast and drama.. Its about time the DVD came out! Gees

The only complaint I had is that they took all of the original songs off. I loved Heather Headley's "In My Mind" and Jordin Sparks' "No Air". To me they helped to build the drama. But I got sucked in just like I did the first time I saw the episodes!!

Thank goodness this set reached me before the crippling snowstorms in the Northeast did!!

I didn't watch this show regularly when it aired and since I miss more re-runs than I watch, I decided to buy the set. This season is a hilarious representation of the lives of professional football players & has become my entertainment crack!

I got sucked into the lives of wide-eyed rookie receiver, Derwin Davis & his "Girl" Melanie Barnett as they struggle to fit in with fellow players, players' wives/girlfriends, image consultants & agents while fighting to maintain their relationship & down-to-earth values. The ups & downs of their relationship are balanced out by the lives & problems of 2 of his teammates:

Jason & Kelly Pitts - married for 7 years, Jason is fearful about the impending end of his football career & having never won the championship while Kelly battles her feelings of resentment towards Jason for his controlling behavior; and

Malik Wright & Tasha Mack - star QB & his "Momager". Malik at 25 yrs is living it up as "The $40-million Kid" but wonders if it's time to cut the apron strings while Tasha fights to prove herself in the business world as more than just the lucky woman who gave birth to a star athlete.

I completely enjoyed my marathon viewing of the first season of this show while trapped inside by the snow and recommend that those who enjoyed the series, GIRLFRIENDS give it a chance.

This was a super show. I must admit, I preferred Girlfriends just a bit more, but this was excellent adult TV fare. The cast was perfect; the production values were slick. The stories could be fun and silly, but never dumbed down. Who can ever forget Malik and Girl Melanie's late night "girl talk" session. Or Tasha Mack and Kelly's initial attempts at friendship ("I heard your daughter screaming and just wanted to see if it was a Penny in Good Times situation...). Rick Fox and Robin Givens playing themselves was genius! An then, of course, there is Tee Tee! Mara Brock Akil, who created both Girlfriends and The Game, rules. And Kelsey Grammer deserves credit for seeing the genius of her creations and producing both shows.

The set reels you in so after ordering, be prepared to spend the WHOLE day at home with food and drinks waiting to the side because you will NOT want to be distracted.

The quality of the DVD is Unbelievably high! It seems like you can just reach out and touch the people.

This is definately one of those lifetime keepsakes that everyone should have, and especially if you watched Tia Mowry grow up on screen.

the game is so tight it is about time they put it on dvd, i remember looking for this awhile back. its a shame it ended after only 3 seasons but look what network it was on the cw they got rid of all they're black comedies (let's not forget the hilarious everybody hates chris) we need to minorities shows back on the air and not in syndication. i personally would love to see the cast of the game back in action on an all new season but in the meantime if you like drama you need to watch this show if you like comedy watch this show, if you like fine guys and sexy gals watch this show. it has something for everybody. not to mention the music selection is always on point and somehow always seem to fit fit the scene. but i guess i'm done ranting you really just have to watch it to know how good it is i guarantee you will fall in love with the characters just like i did

I'm such a big GAME fan that this just makes my day.. I couldn't have asked for a better series to have on DVD.. it's a must buy.. with no commercials its even better..
