BET and UPN Fall Line Ups...
Have any of you seen any of the new fall lineup on BET? I hate it. I mean they've moved to Harlem to try and stop the MTV nation. I do believe they're gonna fail. I am all for supporting black enterprised, but if I don't like I don't like it. Have you seen Oh Drama? It's like a ghetto version of
The View. Who's watching them at 10 in the morning? I mean a brotha is use to seeing video's, not a talk show on BET. I mean they're okay and all but they rarely stick to the format of the show. I know it's suppose to be like girlfriends talking, but it loses me when they break out into tyrants and things that don't make sense. I loved Kim Whitley on "Sparks" and in "Next Friday" but if I here her talk about how fat she is one more time, I'm gonna regurgitate. (sp?) And one day last week, they were talking about women who have a high libido when they're boyfriends or husbands don't. They're was a lady on the who called in and said that she's the opposite of the other women. She doesn't have sex with her husband cause he's way too big. Then the lady's when on to tell her that if she had big tata's, she could strap some baby oil on them and let her man, you know what. Now I have been known to be crude on many occasions, so things rarely shock or offend me. But to talk like that on BET that early in the morning, and the show is rated G or PG or something like that. Kids could have been . me from school watching that and when Mommy and Daddy come home they got a whole lot of questions. That show "ny" with that girl Tiffany sucks big time. And that new show mirroring MTV's TRL I think it's called "106 and Park" is horrible. The host have no chemistry. But the girl is PHYNE. The only shows I watch on their are the shows from last season: Hits (hillarious, he's the black Tom Green), Rap City, and Comic View. How dare they give John Salley a talk show? I'm not hating on our people but I don't like the shows. If I find some show with some white folks and I don't like, I'll tell you I don't like that either.
Now on to UPN's fall lineup. Well they might not have a lineup. The black shows on UPN are on the verge of cancellation. If you saw Tavis Smiley's show last night, you know what I mean. If not here's the breakdown. Basically UPN lost a lot of key affiliate stations who's viewership of the black shows on UPN was huge. That means lots of dollars from advertisement will be lost because of this. Now will UPN and it's parent company Viacom take a chance and keep these shows on? The jury is still out on that one. Making money is the only reason these networks are in to business. Time will tell. Now I know this post is long so I'll shut up now. Peace.
