LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "The Game" is not over yet.

Cable channel BET is in talks to order a new season of the comedy, a spinoff from the long-running "Girlfriends." The CW canceled "Game" in May after three seasons. Series creator Mara Brock Akil in April pitched CW an hourlong version of the show as a way of to keep it on the network, which was exiting the half-hour comedy business.

Following "Game's" cancellation, BET began preliminary talks with producer CBS Studios about possibly taking in the series with new originals. The cable network already runs repeats of both "Game" and "Girfriends." The options on the "Game" actors have lapsed, so if a deal is reached with BET, CBS Studios would have to make new pacts with them. BET's only previous stab at launching an original scripted series was the 2008 comedy "Somebodies," which ran for one season.

This would a GREAT thing for BET should they get the rights of the TV show from CBS Studios.  It will also be a GREAT motivator for the network as a whole because Lord knows they need it.  I'm surprised BET is still on the air myself.  All of this (black) talent in Hollywood and they can't come up with a decent concept for an original show.  SMDH.  I never got the whole concept of the show "Somebodies", but it's apparent that "somebody" thought it was going to be a good show. (Pun definitely intended!)
