Congratulations are definitely in order for BET and the latest addition to their line-up of sitcoms, “The Game!”

According to stats released this week, when the show made its big return to television Tuesday night (1.11.11) via BET (after being dropped from the CW 2 two years ago), “The Game” brought in nearly 8 million viewers, making history as the biggest audience EVER on the network!

More info (along with pics from the premiere party in New York City) below and when you continue reading:

In three seasons on the low-rated CW broadcast network, the sitcom The Game never averaged more than 2.3 million viewers, and in its final season, it averaged a measly 1.68 million, but in its debut on the BET cable network on Tuesday, the show attracted 7.7 million, putting it ahead of much of its broadcast competition. It was the biggest audience ever to tune in to a program on the Viacom-owned network.

“It’s so great to hear from a community that feels they’re being overlooked by the major networks,” BET chief Debra Lee told Advertising Age magazine. Separately, she said in a statement “It is clear these two shows are real game changers for the Network and the proven success of last night tells us that our viewers are not only passionate about the types of programming that we offer, but continue to crave on-air programming that reflects and respects our voices.” (Source)

Former CW sitcom “The Game” is almost ready to head back to TV! According to our friends over at AOL BV Buzz, BET and Paramount have struck a deal to develop new episodes for the popular half-hour comedy/drama series. All that’s left at this point is for the actors to get under contract.

“The deal is done between the two networks,” the source told BV Buzz. “Now it’s a matter of getting the actors under contract again.” When The CW canceled the show in May of last year, the contracts with the shows stars Tia Mowry, Pooch Hall, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Hosea Chanchez, Brittany Daniel and Coby Bell weren’t optioned and ultimately expired on June 30, 2009. Now BET has to negotiate new contracts with the actors, which is expected to be done within the next two weeks.

“The show will have the same production value, so the actors will make the same type of money they made when they did ‘The Game’ for The CW,” the source shared. There is a conflict now with actor Bell, who played Jason Pitts on the sports-themed comedy. It was just announced that he is joining the cast of the hit USA show, ‘Burn Notice.’ “He will likely still be able to work on ‘The Game,’ but only as a recurring character instead of being a series regular,” the source explained.

Once the deal is finalized, ‘The Game’ will begin production on new episodes in May and shoot on location in Atlanta. Mara Brock Akil, who also produced ‘Girlfriends,’ will return as the executive producer of the show as well. BET hopes to use ‘The Game’ to launch their new scripted television division, something that Debra Lee, CEO of Black Entertainment Television told BV Buzz when we reported on this story last summer.
