TV Recap - THE GAME
Recap - Melanie reveals her infertility to Tasha. But I'm confused because I thought from all the comments Tasha's made in the past, she already knew that. Also, when did Tasha and Mel reconcile?? Watching this show sometimes feels like coming into a conversation in the middle of a sentence and I think I figured out why. The writers are not sure if this show is a comedy where the episodes can stand alone (a la The Cosby Show), where all the conflict is resolved by the end of the episode. Or a comedy with serialized elements (like FRIEND'S Ross & Rachel being on a break or Monica dating the millionaire). Instead THE GAME writers mix the two formats. No bueno for the viewers like myself who are actually interested in the serialized elements they introduce (i.e. Malik's falling out w/the team and money problems; Derwin's beef with the current quaterback, Melanie's career as a doctor) and then leave by the waste-side. There's an opportunity for this show to be the ENTOURAGE of the football world, but as much promise as it shows, it falls short every week. It's as tragic as seeing a girl wearing a fierce stiletto shoe that she can't walk in. Oh well, I might need a new show to watch on Tuesdays at 10PM. Any suggestions? I'm GAME :)
