I know I've kept quiet about the topic of "In The Game" but I think its time I said my piece. To tell you honestly I have very high hopes for the show. It has a good nucleus of star power in JLH, Christine Baranski and Ed O'Neill leading the way even with Alyson Hannigan now gone from the cast.
But I also have to be honest about the naysayers saying this won't fly. This sitcom you remember is a sitcom based from the world of sports television. The only other sitcom like this was another ABC sitcom we all know as "SportsNight". And SportsNight was legendary. It's one of the Top 50 sitcoms in history according to TVGuide. It is a cult classic and has won both Golden Globes and Emmys during its run. Point being is "In The Game" because of "SportsNight" has to live up to some very high expectations. This has to be a ratings grabber and an Golden Globe/Emmy winning quality show for ABC to keep it on the air.
Granted in this man's opinion I think "In The Game" can be the kind of show I mentioned above but on the other hand it has its work cut out for it because of what its predecessor in the sports television sitcom genre has done already. Here's to hoping the best for "In The Game". Until next time I am out! |
