  • As Derwin Davis, Pooch Hall nailed the role as the football wide receiver on “The Game,” and fans were instantly drawn to the storyline of his tumultuous career and his relationship with Tia Mowry’s character, Melanie Barnett.
    BET had a good thing going, but in, May 2012, they announced Pooch wouldn’t be returning to the show. At first, it sounded like an amicable business decision, but that wasn’t the case. Following his departure, Pooch’s life went into a downward spiral, and he accused BET of shutting him out of opportunities.

    I remember watching Tia and Tamera reality show and she said she wasn’t going back to the game because they want to cut her character from main character to just a reoccurring role and she was like no she made the right decision. Her and Pooch deserved a raise cause they carried that show. People was watching for Derwin and Med School.

    Honestly, I'm more shocked and concerned about the part of him driving drunk with his 2 yrs old child in his lap that resulted in a car accident than I am to any degree caring or shocked about BET blacklisting him. 😲😟
    The Game was a great show and I was a huge fan of it. But it wasn't and hasn't been the same since it left it's original network CW. And it will never be the same without the Pooch and Tia as Derwin & Mel.
    Especially since the original idea of the show was built around them as the two main characters because the show was intended to be a spin off of Girlfriends with Mel as Joans little niece or cousin.
    I can't recall the relation but I remember distinctly that's how the original concept of the show started and it was brilliant. Then it just went down hill from there when it moved to BET. And it hasn't been as good as the CW version with Mel and Derwin since.

      You got it, Melanie was Joan's cousin in medical school. Also, Derwin wasn't originally played by Pooch. He was played by a guy who, ironically, played Lynn's brother in a different episode of Girlfriends. Lol.
      As far as the accident, it seems like it's extremely downplayed which is kinda concerning, actually. For DCF to make it an isolated case is even more concerning, but hey, it's not my business.

      This is why it is imperative that we stay in control of our narrative when it comes to Black television that entertains us. We can't keep selling out to people to the highest bidder because we are too lazy to deal with all the other technicalities of owning a network if advertisement agencies don't want to deal with us then maybe we shouldn't buy their food you know it's always a quid pro quo when it comes to having these type of platforms. Advertisers make lots of money off of black people but yet they don't like it when black people own these platforms and they don't want to pay us the same so let it be known when they're doing this because we will not patronize them. That's for anybody. Stop patronizing people that don't patronize you you scratch my back I'm going to scratch yours it's not no slavery thing because like y'all say it's slavery has been abolished so stop trying to treat us like slaves.

    I am not shocked with the way BET did Pooch. But, I am REALLY glad he did not allow that to limit him from going after his role on Ray Donovan. I know several men who watched that show faithfully, and even caught a few episodes of it myself. Ya'll classy for leaving out the fact that he admitted to being molested when he was young, but I'm going to mention it because i am always inspired by people who find the strength to move forward in their lives, despite enduring such trauma at an early age, and even more inspired by men who have the courage to admit. Definitely want to see him continue to win. Prayers up for him and his healing!!

It’s not always because they’re bad at handling finances, they don’t get paid a lot or it’s hard getting good paying acting jobs. But he’s not innocent , he put his child in a very dangerous situation but Thank goodness him and his son wasn’t hurt best wishes to him!

Then they’re just like everyone else in Hollywood; “it’s just business”. Other actors & actresses have recounted similar experiences with that network. It’s so sad and disappointing. They demand your loyalty but kick you to curb if you’re not as “profitable” as you used to be.

    Staying committed to only 1 thing while you’re an up and coming (or even an established) artist can be career suicide. Acting in Hollywood is give and take because one moment you can be at the top of your game, and the next you’re struggling looking for a gig. It’s disrespectful for a network to do that to an actor if it is true. In Pooch’s case, he was going to continue loyalty to BET and even had a flex schedule in place, but they shunned him. Any other network would’ve been so happy and made him part of the family for that type of loyalty. I hope for the best for Hall on and off the screen.
    I loved The Game when it first came to the CW. It was funny, the writing was good, and above everything else they had the best casting. Each actor made their character come to life.

    I am shocked how BET treated him. He was one of the stars of the show! He was a very good actor and I pray that he gets his addiction under control and his career. I wish him and his family the best.

    I think it’s messed up how they treated Pooch because that in turn messed up Tia. She decided not to come back because her character was being reduced based off of Pooch booking a new role elsewhere,not knowing he was able to do both. Tia was like either I’m a regular or nothing at all.

    In life loyalty is very rare cause people often don't care about what's in your best interest

    Companies get mad when they get “surprised” by you. They don’t trust you anymore. But they do what they want to do.

    Them getting rid of Melanie and derwin was weird to begin with since they were the main character

    A lot of stations namely Fox and CWB build their stations on shows like this then abandon those shows for something like 90210.

    The whole original cast was awesome. But Melanie and Derwin were just it. it all just fell apart once they left.
