This network was showing so much potential just a few months ago, but they're fading away very quickly.

I know Julie, it was just 3 months ago when BET was looking like the Cable Network of the year, now it's just the Cable Network of the Month of March-LOL

JulieSomoski · 07-30-2008, 01:27 PM

I agree, Solomon - it was really becoming a great network. Diff'rent Strokes, A Different World, Sanford, Thea, and all the other shows were a great lineup, but unfortunately, BET doesn't seem to know how to handle good sitcoms when they have them.

Pavan · 07-30-2008, 01:42 PM

The Sony shows are expiring at the end of August. They are trying to air the most they can out of them by airing it in 2-hour blocks.

So they are not going to be renewed?

Pavan · 07-30-2008, 07:31 PM

99% chance they are not renewing. Something can always change last minute, though, but as of now...no renewals. I'm about to post some new August details in a bit.

Well that was a POINTLESS PICKUP

Pavan · 07-30-2008, 08:13 PM

Why is it pointless? You got to see every episode of Thea. Sanford and Diff'rent Strokes aired every episode too (well except the Bulimia episode of Diff'rent Strokes).

Here is more on August BET programming, as promised. Thea and Diff'rent Strokes, as of now, are the only shows airing weekdays from 9-11am. Thea on Mondays and Fridays (except not this Friday, it is Diff'rent Strokes this week), while Diff'rent Strokes from Tues-Thurs for the remainder of August.

Marathons:

Sunday, August 17
3-7pm: Sanford

Saturday, August 23
8pm-10:30pm Diff'rent Strokes
10:30pm-1:00am A Different World

Episode info for those coming at a later date.

I was referring to DS, not Thea and Sanford

Pavan · 07-30-2008, 08:17 PM

Thea, Sanford and Malcolm & Eddie were a part of this deal, too...

I didn't include Thea and Sanford because they are short-lived shows

icecream · 07-30-2008, 09:07 PM

The Different Strokes pickup was hardly pointless. I had never seen it before BET picked it up, now it's in my top 30. I'm glad it did air for these few months.
