[GOODIES] Let's Stay Together May Not Stay Together

LET'S STAY TOGETHER - Given an ideal time slot to premier but at the same time put at a disadvantage airing right after the long anticipated return of The Game, BET's new sitcom Let's Stay Together simply did not deliever to our expectations. Unfortunately it's without a doubt that the commercials for the show were funnier and far more entertaining then the actual episode itself.

Note to BET executives and the writers of Let's Stay Together anything as ignorant as having a young black women singing about cooking greens cornbread and ribs for her man at an upscale restaurant is NOT funny, it's just classless.

I'll be giving the show one more chance to redem itself next Tuesday AT 10:30PM -est- however let me just state that I see only 1 season in this shows future.

[GOODIES] THE GAME IS BACK

Tonight is the official season premiere of our favourite show "The Game" which will be available on BET. I know everyone will be tuning it to find out whether the baby is Derwin's or not. Oh, how we've missed Melanie & Derwin's love triangle. TT and his jokes. Kelly and Jason's crazy marriage. I could go on but then I'd be writing forever. Hopefully, the first episode is as great as we've all been anticipating it to be. STAY TUNED TO THE GAME TONIGHT!
