I sure hope BET pays them enough to stick around for more than one season.

Glad they are making new

Glad they are making new content but they should scrap "Reed btw the Lines" all together. Kelly Rowland is boring so the writing better be good. House Husbands was funny so that show may actually be worth watching

Am I the only one concerned

Am I the only one concerned about how light and bright Kelly Rowland is looking?!!!! So I see she got rid of all her self imposed "hangups" one by one. From her Bugs Bunny teeth (braces), to her small boobs (implants) to her darker skin (skin bleaching). I cant even get further into reading this post because all I see is her unnaturally light looking skin tone. Ok Kells. Now you can really fit in and look like your "sisters" Beyonce and Solange. No more ugly duckling for you. Kelly will always be an insecure awkward girl.

Yes, you are the only one. I

Yes, you are the only one. I am not sure why everyone is always harping that someone is bleaching. It's annoying and ignorant. One, people's skin color change depending the season. I am light as hell in the winter, but get very dark in the summer as I tan easily. Two, some of you are ignorant to the fact that these celebrities are on a red carpet with bright camera flashes flying off. Coupled with concealer and/or foundation that reflects this light back, it can wash out the skin easily.

"Reed Between the Lines" is

"Reed Between the Lines" is garbage, it doesn't matter who joins the cast, the show stills suck. Kelly Rowland is a horrible actress and she is boring so I'm sure her show will get cancelled after one season. I do look forward to "Real Husbands of Hollywood" because Kevin Hart is a fool and I love me some Robin Thicke. I just hope Kevin and Nick don't allow those sh*tty a$$ writers that work on The Game to have anything to do with the project!! On a positive note, B.E.T. are keeping a lot of black actors from being "out-of-work actors", can't be mad at that!!

lol BET i mean i don't know

lol BET i mean i don't know too many people that still watch that shit why is it still up and running??? I know more people that watch TvOne and vh1 and all that other bs. But i must say Viacom is a cash cow when it comes to making niggas look like clown ass negros, but that's the history of this country , everybody want to see black people act a damn buffoon and do some entertaining while the economy is falling, they did that shit with the black face minstrel shows back in the 20's during the great depression. It made white ppl feel better because they get to think hey " i might be doing bad but atleast i aint doing as bad as these negros". And it's the sameway here in 2012 with all these damn foolish ass shows.

Interesting cast, but it

Interesting cast, but it means nothing if they don't have the correct writers. BET needs to stop adding shows, and nurse the ones they already have back to health, because those muthaf--k-s are on life support. If you're looking to go down hill, then Bet is the place to be, or with diddy.
