This Is Why BET Blacklisted Pooch Hall After He Left 'The Game'
Рет қаралды 695,026
Жыл бұрынAs 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.

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.

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 IS ASHAME THAT he was treated that way and was possibly drinking due to depression and feelings of betrayal. In this world today we can never get too comfortable and trust everyone we meet especially in Helly-wood (Hollywood). But he is an excellent actor and I saw him on a movie on NETFLIX and again I was not disappointed he NAILED THE ROLE!

The Game was our favorite show. So in short, because BET was long on negotiations to the point Pooch had to search for another gig, they spite him afterwards. When he and Melanie returned briefly to the show I knew something was wrong with him as far as drugs or food goes because he was wayyyy out of shape and had a huge belly and looked way aged in the face. I spot these things from a mile away. Hopes he's doing good though and managing his money properly.

Every time RRG vids start my vegetarian butt’s like “stop tempting me with tales of jerky and candy RRG!😂”. Love this vid! The Game was legendary. I often think of Derwin’s tears when Malik and him plot to go to Vegas to get their women back. “I’m damn near in tears here and you over there surfing the web and whatnot”😂😂😂 I only stuck around BET when The Game’s original cast was on. Can’t say that the network’s kept my attention overtime though. RRG’s better than BET for the record. Your informative breakdowns, blunt yet compassionate humor is why I binge watch this channel, which is more than I could say about BET (and people pay for that with their cable bill).

I am not surprised at what BET did. It wasn’t the first and it won’t be the last. They tend to be a bit hypocritical. They want the type of loyalty that they are not willing to show. 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.
