View Full Version : BET screws up yet again...

Today's morning episodes (9-10 AM, eastern time) were supposed to be "So You Want to Be a Rock Star" and "Bulimia". That's what was listed here on Sitcoms Online, on BET's site, and even the channel guide. What did BET do instead? They gave "Love on the Run" again, at 9:30. :confused: What gives? Did they suddenly decide that "Bulimia" was too "risque" to air on TV? And watch, they'll probably skip it and just continue with the regularly-scheduled episodes at 3 and 3:30 PM. I hope BET has an explanation for that...

For those that taped/recorded it, there's the heads up. I just wasted 1/4 of a DVD because of this! :mad:

Johnny be good!

Damm I was hoping it was true because I hate the bulima episode.


BTW: if this is a lie the Original Poster should be banned and definetly should get a life

Yeah, why would I lie about something like this? I was just watching it myself and merely sharing it to you all.

I just contacted BET...I'll see what I can find out. I don't think they removed it because it was "risque."

well that's good news because when i looked to see what eps would be on today before i went to work, when i saw the bulima ep scheduled for 9;30am i was like-"OH BOY, but now that I hear it wasn;t on there I don;t have to watch it. That's one ep of DS I don;t mind having OUT of my collection

Well this sucks!!!!!!:mad: :( I was looking forward to watching "Bulimia". I guess I'm the only one that likes this ep. Does BET plan on airing this ep???

angel, I like it too. I was looking forward to this episode but it looks like there was a screw up. I wanted to see it. I already have it from NAN but wanted to get the syndicated version.

I haven't seen this one at all, so it will be a "new" episode to me, heck almost all of season 8 i new to me. I'm enjoying season 8 a lot more than season 7.

BET's statement:

"Bulimia" did not air because there were issues with the show tape. We had to replace it.

That's what I figured the case was...content of the episode was not the issue.

Thanks, Pav. I wanted to contact BET but since you did it, it saves me the trouble. I wish it aired. At least the ep aired was with Kimberly.

Funny how stations still have to rely on tape :)

hopefully they can get another copy and be able to show it during the next cycle.

The episode won't air until they get a revised copy from Sony. Unless they renew the show after August, I don't think we'll see it on BET.

That does suck but at least there is a valid reason for not airing it. :(

WTF???

It is obvious the poster was recording the show and that is how they discovered the actual episodes being aired. Why would they lie?

The 2nd Poster had said he was watching the Bulima ep so I was saying if that is true the OP needed to be banned for lying. But it turns out he wasn't

Pav season 8 would be seen again before August, I think-lol

Yes, I know that, but why would they get a better quality episode just to air it one time? They will only get it if they renew the show.

As sad or pathetic as this may sound, this chick hopes BET renews DS, just so I can watch/tape "Bulimia". That's how bad I want this ep!:lol:

I also was about to stop recording as I was losing time on my dvd+r disc, I usually fit 5 episodes on each disc, but stuck with it since Dana was still featured in the episode and looked great in the fishnets!.....lol.......my old boyhood TV crush came back to me!

Oh, great. A complete collection minus one episode.

Maybe they had the network version, rather than the syndicated version, again. Only this time they discovered it before they aired it. In any event, I hope they have it on the next go-around.

You would think these morons would have checked the episodes PRIOR to ever showing them on the air to make sure they are intact or not screwed up somehow.

A-freaking-men! Couldn't have said it better myself. It's a legitimate excuse, but also an incredibly lame one.

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to the ineptitude of the Viacom family of networks
