I hear BET has pulled the plug on comedy "Reed Between the Lines". The show, got off to a solid start with Tracee Ellis Ross starring as Dr. Carla Reed, a successful psychologist trying to balance her family and career, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner as her husband.

It was renewed for a second season in April 2012 but underwent a revamp later that year when Ross departed. BET is yet to schedule Season 2.

The first season spawned a spinoff, "Young Man on Campus" starring Jacob Latimore, which didn’t go past the pilot stage.

Gosh who in the world is writing shows these days? Where are all the talented writers who have written and produced Black sitcoms from the 80s and 90s? Tracy and Malcolm have no chemistry at all, the kids are NOT funny and their timing sucks. And I am so sick and tired of the untimely laugh tracks! Lines that don't even require a laugh track gets a laugh track.

Poor writing equal to zero chemistry between the family members...yeah this show SUCKED!
