I know that I said I was going to give REGINALD a pass for the first quarter of his reign as svengali of the jig cultural dynamo called Black Entertainment Television. But after I checked the upcoming programming schedule I could see that it was going to be some more Black Bullshit from the mount.
The first feature film B.E.T. will run this month will be ‘State Property’. The idea I suppose is to get this month started with a bang. Watch the studio gangsters shoot up your television screen on Friday with an encore?!? broadcast on Saturday evening.
Super Bowl Sunday will be the time that you want to keep the family together for B.E.T.’s attempt at cultural educational programming. For at least an hour you can enjoy the ’25 Most @#%!* Moments in Black History’. PAUL MOONEY has been as hard up for scrilla as a Detroit crack fiend since DAVE CHAPPELLE cut off his lifeline so he will host this madness. I am mad that the jigs at B.E.T. can’t think of a printable word for ‘@#%!*’. I ain’t blaming this shiite on the white man either, this is all some Black Bullshit.
Sunday will continue with the family plan programming with an airing of the Hip-Hopera flopera – Carmen. A blonde-braided BeYONCE, MEKHI PHIFER and MOS DEF ham it up for your family viewing pleasure. The ageless 40yr old-still acting as a 21yr old DA BRAT as well as the 30+yr old teenage impersonator LIL’ BOWWIZZLE will grace the small screen also in this acting debacle.
The best show to be broadcast on B.E.T. this weekend was positioned during the Super Bowl pre-game show. ‘JoJo Dancer: Your Life is Calling’ stars the great RICHARD PRYOR in a semi-biopic of his life and struggles. This is actually a really good film and I wish it were being broadcast during the week when there is a dearth of quality programming on every network station. That is why B.E.T. gets me so mad. There is good shit out here to broadcast, but they don’t have the budget or the courage. I am tired of their original programming appearing to be shot from a webcam or worse.
By the way B.E.T., I wish that you would transfer your offices from the methadone clinic on 10th Avenue so I don’t get the impression that your staffers are stoners. I’m just sayin’…
Happy Black History Month!
First of all that pic is NICE.
“Hip-Hopera flopera – Carmen” – I can’t believe somebody spent money to film that P.O.S. I can just imagine being a grip (nullus) on that set and spraining my eyes from rolling them so much. And I thought that was an MTV production but I guess B.E.T. is taking hand me downs.
Sad thing is, it’s not that hard to produce decent programming. I wish, just wish the place would put together one decent hip-hop show akin to the glory days of “Yo MTV raps” but somehow the management at the place is content to follow MTV into cultural oblivion and then run soft porn rap videos with HIV public service ads in between. Isn’t it ironic . . . Don’tcha think?
