Although I have seldom watched BET Tonight, whenever I did I was impresseed with Tavis' questions and the commentary that he provides.
I seldom watch BET anymore. Comicview lost me as a "loyal" supporter when I heard how much they paid the comics.
BET and VIACOM and Johnson need to wake up and realize that for me to be ENTERTAINed as a BLACK person watching TELEVISION, videos and GHETTO FABULOUS TALK SHOWS just ain't going to get it. Rather we need TAVIS on during prime time not late at night. We need some of the TV shows that have been cancelled by NBC, CBS, ABC, et al to be picked uo by BET, i.e. City of Angels. BET could and SHOULD BE responsible for more intelligent broadcasting. BET needs to realize that those videos they show all day and all night are a detriment, As a teacher I see it first hand, these kids can't even complete assignments, conversation without referring to the latest video. I am disturbed at how Mr. Johnson and his programming staff are going to augment Tavis' absence. When are they going to have FAMILY PROGRAMMING that does not revolve around old reruns but instead FRESH ideas.
