I worked as an intern at BET for the show Comic View back in '03. A lot of fine sisters and good people working there for the most part but BET as a company is shady as fuck and lacks imagination. One day in a meeting, the EP's had a TV on flipping through the channels for ideas that they could use from other shows. They turned the channel to one that was airing that stupid show Elimi- Date. Someone said, " you see those little bubbles that appear over the persons head saying funny stuff?" "we should do that!" I was like WTF!?!

this is true. and like you said, all their 'good' shows are just urbanized versions of something MTV had already done.

funniest shit on BET now is the infomercials

but as i said before, none of the shows people tune in to bet to see are even shows they created. Wayans, Jamie Fox show, Bernie Mac, The Game, etc. they either just take old shows or copy what ever other networks are doing. When VH1 was knocking out those Reality Shows with Flavor Flav, new york, etc. for a year or two BET came up with that lame Hip Hop Boxing shit, tiny and toya, etc. When MTV did The Hills, BET did "Baldwin HILLS". MTV makes The Real world, BET just makes the real world with an all black cast. I can't think of two shows besides 106 and park and Rap City: the Basement that i'd honestly say BET has created. Hell Date was just Punked on regular people. All the movies they show are usually 3 years old or some yler perry shit.

I'm just saying, you have AMC knocking out GREAT television shows yearly, FX stepping there shit up, MV not have great shows but atleast they come up with ideas and try them out even if their hit or miss [SKins is bad but Jackass worked]. It's not like there aren't any talented black writers, comedians, actors that can't build legit shows around and instead of doing mild lame shows like that one that goes on after the Game. Centric V > BET.

Oh and add "american Gangster" to that list, that was actually a good show...so that's pretty much three ever...
