This is just a guess, but I think lack of capitalization was the issue here. The Game is a TV show: [The Game (American TV series) - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(U.S._TV_series))

I thought is was a pretty decent show, but I watched it on Netflix/ Hulu. Don’t know if I would buy the seasons, but it’s just been renewed for a sixth season, so it’s pretty popular.

The guess would be wrong, since the [OP clarified that the thread was in reference to The Shield,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16215025&postcount=7) and later started a new thread [here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=688710)😉

Since the issue has been resolved, I’m closing this. If you want to discuss The Game, you can start a new thread in Cafe Society.
