Mara Brock Akil’s ‘Being Mary Jane’ is a Good Look for BET
Yesterday, I attended the Chicago screening for Being Mary Jane, BET’s latest original series, written by Mara Brock Akil (Girlfriends). I was pleasantly surprised at the good time I had, so lemme tell ya about it. I won’t give away any plot points you can’t find out in the show trailer so no worries about [...]
BET Still Owes Us an Apology for Cita’s World
In September 1999, BET introduced us all to Cita’s World, a TV show hosted by a computer-generated character named Cita. Cita wore cropped tops, a miniskirt and her hair was gelled down with a part. LAIDT like lowered expectations. On complete virtual reality hoodrat status. She was basically a walking stereotype, talking real loud, smacking [...]
The 2012 BET Awards Was Surprisingly Good. They Did Whitney RIGHT
For the first time in a while, I can truly say that BET did a good job with one of their programs. This is high praise, seeing as how I’ve wanted to just fight their team during past award shows. This year’s was actually really good and I enjoyed it, so kudos to the folks [...]

Reed Between the Lines is Not Good
A couple of weeks ago, “Reed Between the Lines” premiered on BET, and I watched it and wrote this review of my initial reaction. I was rooting for it for real. I know I’m a professional hater at times but I REALLY wanted this show to be good. I’m a fan of Tracee Ellis Ross [...]
So I Watched “Reed Between the Lines” Last Night
Last night, BET decided they wanted to be about that life and actually put on some quality programming. I was skeptical but they kinda pulled it off. First was the BET Hip Hop Awards, which I actually ended up missing most of because negrolepsy got me. I took an accidental extended blink (read: nap) and [...]
“The Game” Premiere Played Bald-headed Games! I Have Questions
So last night was the highly anticipated premiere of the TV show “The Game.” You know, the one that’s been off air for 2 years because CW kicked it to the curb. So fans lobbied for it like our health insurance depended on it. Yes, that one. BET picked it up and we all deep [...]
Dear Sheila Johnson, You Got Words for Oprah and OWN, Huh?
So y’all know I LOVE me some Oprah. I am a self-admitted STAN. Mother Oprah is IT and I heart she. Oprah’s my mentor in my head and I’ve been in the audience of her show twice. I was mad salty both times because I was praying it’d be the Favorite things one both times, [...]
BET Awards Was Actually Good
So I went into the BET Awards expecting much fail, like in the previous year. Expectations CANNOT be placed low enough BET. Let me definitely say that. How bad has BET been in previous years? Well, last year, it was so bad that my recap was in TWO parts. First I flipped tables at the [...]

Missed Chance at Recap Foolery
So I received a phonecall last night from my Sis asking if I was watching the BET Celebration of Gospel show. I asked her why, because she knows of my disdain for BET. I only watch the channel to kill my brain cells not so slowly write roast recaps of their shows . Well, apparently, there [...]
BET Hip Hop Awards was Wack (it didn’t disappoint)
So the BET Hip Hop Awards were last night, and I had to watch (especially after my sis called me to tell me she’ll expect my recap in the morning. All that pressha). I did the usual and live-tweeted it. Foolery ensued. Since BET Awards was nothing but lowlights, I’mo just write this in question [...]
Everyone has a show… even Mo’Nique
I’m still in Boofooville, USA for this conference. The city is small, but my hotel is nice. I could cartwheel, *WALL SLIDE* and do the Bro Franklin all up in my room. That’s how big it is. iDigs it. Plus the free WiFi in my room got a *fist pump* from me. But yeah, y’all [...]
