B.E.T's Spring Bling..

[AKADIVA12]

I stopped watching BET (Bootie Entertainment Network) a long time ago. It is the epitome of bad taste and black self-degradation.

I remember when we first got cable around fifteen or so years ago (we were late getting it up north). I used to love watching BET. You had Video Soul with Donnie Simpson, Teen Summit, Black College Football (still an attraction) and episodes of old black sitcoms.

Hopefully, TV One won't follow the path that BET has chosen to set.

Right! They only continue with the madness because they know we will tune in. There needs to be a MASS boycott!

And what happened to Teen Summit??!? I loved that show.

I'm rofl @ looking "local access." everything about BET is low budget... I knew it was over when I was watching ComicView last week and J. Anthony Brown called a man from the audience up on stage, sat him down on a stool.

Brings a belly dancer out, dressed in the little belly dancer outfit, and Brown told her to "work this man".. she proceeded to do so for a good 3 minutes.

I was like... wtf.... ... why did I just turn the tv off.

the only thing worth playing on BET is GAME OVER... cause it really is.

But see that won't happen, the mass boycott portion.

To Kids nowadays this is their norm. They don't remember way back when Tavis was on. When they used to play reruns of "Generations". When they had a REAL Teen Summit. BET tried all sorts of shows back in the day. But instead of working them and establishing a strong audience they canned them to show more Videos.

106 and Park will never have a diverse and varied audience like Video Soul did. Public Enemy said 911 is joke way back in the day.

BET doesn't even have a punchline now.

They use to tackle REAL issues(obesity, education, racism). I remember when Lisa Smith, Ananda and Belma Johnson(sp??) were the hosts. I actually sat in on a taping once. It was such a good atmosphere. Teen Summit became pure trash(ballers vs. scrubs...aren't we all scrubs in High Schools to some degree..that was the most useless show)...

Funny you should mention Belma. He went to USC, my alma mater, and is a bit older than me. His brother and I were friendly and worked together on the Daily Trojan.
