BET at 25: Very “Special”
Is BET out of breath like a Bobby Brown performance? Were they even aware that they, according to B.Brown, were throwing an awards show last night? Does the fact that one of the Hudlin brothers is running the day-to-day mean that we’ll be seeing House Party and Boomerang on a continuous loop? And is it too late for Bob Johnson to sell his daughter (fresh off of her horrible on-air debut last night) for a daughter to be named later?!?!?
These questions, and soooooooooooooo many more, faced me last night while watching the BET 25th Anniversary Special. Oy.
Yup, after 25 years of doing everything possible to get their human being license revoked — from Cita’s World to College Hill — BET is a quarter-century old. And what would an event on BET be without a running diary? It’d be just like what war is good for, which is absolutely nothing. Good gawd.
So, in the immortal words of Slick Rick in the aptly named diddy “A Children’s Story,” Herrrrrrrrrrrre we go!
