Oh, come on, man. You mean to tell me you don’t wanna watch Tyler Perry’s House of Payne?

I’m glad I didn’t watch the BET awards this year. From what I saw on social media, it was horrible. That ghetto chick Sexyy Red was on stage trying to sing and it was the pits. Why invite her to perform in the first place? I know Debbie Allen and Kadeem Hardison wanted to throw up.

BET is no longer allowed to be shown in my apt

One company that should think seriously about buying BET is the Johnson Corporation "Who also owns Ebony Magazine Upscale Magazine Jet Magazine and a dozen other magazines" Because if the Johnson Corporation were to buy BET they would most likely rename it Jet Television and this would bring them a lot of money. Because Jet Magazine is the second most popular magazine next to Ebony Magazine and if Jet Television were to exist it would score tons of viewers. There is a reason why BET shows lots of Tyler Perry movies and reruns of the sitcom Tyler Perry's House Of Payne and why Tyler Perry has created shows for BET and as I mentioned in my posts in this thread Tyler Perry wanted to secretly buy BET because I think he fantasizes having his own TV channel so his fans can see his movies and plays on TV. But I think whoever decides to buy BET will improve it and make it a variety channel like when it was starting out

Thank you for the NWS warning

In my eyes I also think BET wants to change their image and try to expand themselves by creating spin-off channels as we have seen with BET Jazz in the 80's and Centric "now BET Her" in the 2000's and when BET Jazz was launched BET had an empire on their hands and when BET Jazz no longer existed they kept the empire going with the launch of Centric in the 2000's and with Centric BET added a mix of classic sitcoms variety shows and reruns of Steve Harvey's Family Feud which I thought was odd because when you put reruns of Steve Harvey's Family Feud on any channel like GSN or BET it makes a huge success for the channel. But what I really think BET lacks is original game shows because in the 90's BET had the game show Triple Threat which was a remake of a 70's game show of the same name and if BET had game shows the audience would enjoy them. And also BET tried to compete with HSN and QVC by launching BET Shop which wasn't even a shopping channel but a show devoted to shopping but BET Shop should've been a standalone channel itself but once this format of BET ended they went to their current format of showing movies such as Boomerang Coming To America Johnson Family Vacation and Tyler Perry's Madea series of movies and Tyler Perry movies and sitcoms have been million-dollar hits for BET itself and this format seems to be a hit for them. But as other networks compete with BET such as TV One and Bounce BET will survive
