They actually wrote me back and were very nice. I miss the old BET. I did like Being Mary Jane, The Quad, American Soul. Hopefully they'll bring some of those style, of shows, back. I will say that they ruined The Game and Hit The Floor though. They got trashier when they moved to BET.

They could definitely shine a spotlight on some of the more obscure mainly black towns across the states. Like Inglewood, CA. We have so many many black owned places, we have so many interesting things, we even have a whole shopping area known as Market Street. Issa Rae's got a coffee shop there. But not only Inglewood, I'm sure there are many African American towns and cities that have hidden gems and are unknown to the overall community. That would be a very interesting show. Kind of like Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives but with more... Culture focused

After AJ And Free Left 106 and park bet was never the same again.

I personally think that the biggest ball BET dropped was the awards. The BET Awards were always a moment for our community and it gave us so many classic, cultural moments (for example, Monique dancing to Bey, MJ and James Brown, Whitney doing her 2 step skip out to accept her award, Teena Marie and Rick James, the list goes on and on). I don’t remember what year it changed but that is the biggest L the network has taken.

@@latoyasmith6580 That may be true, but she's been gone since 2018. She left when Viacom did some major restructuring of all their channels. The new people running BET haven't done anything to make the channel better. I only tune in for the BET Awards, and it seems like they can't get live TV right anymore since they canceled 106 & Park.

It really is sad what happen to BET. This was my child hood. I would run home from school to watch everything. 106&Park. Comic View,, Video Soul (Donnie Simpson fine ass), Citas World and on and on. They really ruined a good thing

I loved Video Soul! I do think a Teen Summit type of show would be great. It's so much going on in the world. it'll be good for kids to see others interacting with IN PERSON conversation about things that effect them on their level.

Amazing video, very true content and i grew up on bet and hip hop and r and b have suffered because of the lack of awareness for music videos. Amazing video and thank you.

I stopped watching BET back in the '03 or '04, when they had the show "How I'm Living". They aired a show on 2 black women who where in porn movies. It angered the hell out of me! A "black" network showing black women, laying on their backs and giving up their bodies for money. This is what we want our precious daughters to follow?

Pretty much all of the shows you mentioned should be rebooted. They definitely would profit from having a countdown music show, bring back Spring Bling, bring back rap city and people freestyles doing interviews..bring back some teen educational shows like Teen Summit. I grew up on BET and was disappointed in the mid 2000s to see it turn to a network full of reruns. I love your channel!

The main reason bet went down hill was because of mostly Tyler perry movies and shows and taking off 106 & Park.
