"The Game" ~ 2nd Season
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Jay Harrington (NBC's "Coupling") has joined Jane Krakowski in "Sex, Power, Love & Politics," a CBS comedy pilot about thirtysomething Capitol Hill staffers.
In other pilot casting news, Wendy Raquel Robinson ("The Steve Harvey Show") will star in the potential spinoff of UPN's long-running comedy "Girlfriends."
The new show, tentatively titled "The Game," will feature a new group of characters, women in the lives of professional football players, who will be introduced in an episode of "Girlfriends" this season.
"The Game" is in consideration for fall 2006-07 at the new CW network, which will combine the best of UPN and the WB.

I don't know about this....
For one thing, a spin-off is hardly ever good without at least one character from the original show. Secondly, the "Girlfriends" have never really had any other friends, so the introduction of these new characters will be kinda awkward.
Why do they have to date athletes? Will these new characters be complaining about being cheated on all the time? If so, they can save that drama. There needs to be a show that displays some positive Black relationships.

Now I don't know if "The Game" will be good or not, but regarding the above quote, I'm not so sure. To me, A Different World was SAVED by Lisa Bonet gettin ' the hayle on!

If art really imitates life, not too many of the relationships will be Black relationships, anyway. We all know brothers who are pro-atheletes have a ball in one hand and a white woman in the other.

I'm guessing it won't be a spin off in the truest sense of the word. I think they will probably have Wendy's character be a friend/relative of one of the main 4 from out of town who has some drama with her pro player husband/boyfriend to try to peak some interest in the show. Some of you probably don't remember this, but the Jeffersons were a spin off of Archie Bunker, and I don't think they were real big characters on the show.

My vision of how it will go down. . .
Wendy Raquel Robinson and her football boo will hit The J Spot one night and strike up conversation with Joan.
A week or 2 later, Wendy, her football boo, football boo's teammate, and football boo's teammate's boo will hit The J Spot again.
Voila! Next season. . . THE GAME.
It might not last but surely it will be better than Love, Inc.

I know you are not as old as I am, so you must be a fan of Nick at Night!
RIP ....that means Sherman Hemsley is the only on of the 4 main characters left.
And you are right about Good Times/Maude...Florida was Maude's maid for just a few episodes...right?

Nope. I used to watch Maude and All in the Family too as a kid.

Sorry to burst in.
Maude was actually a spinoff of All In the Family as well.
