This video has nothing to do with this story, I just wanted to post it HAHAHAHA! I know someone with this doll *SEOD TO HIM*

After just asking folks to stop calling him Master P and call him P. Miller, now comes word that Percy and a bunch of people (including Denzel Washington) are starting up a family friendlier version of EBT (shouts to Fresh!) called Better Black Television.

DOWN WITH BET! I’m all for this sh*t, let’s get ‘er done!

Hip-hop entrepreneur Percy Miller, a.k.a. Master P, is launching a family-friendly cable network, Better Black Television.

The network will provide “positive content for a black and brown culture,” according to a company statement.

BBTV, set to launch in 2009, will be a general entertainment channel running a wide range of scripted, unscripted and news programming, including drama and comedy series, movies, animation, reality, politics, sports and entertainment news, children’s educational and teen programming, as well as “responsible hip-hop music and videos.”

BBTV advisory board members include Oscar winner Denzel Washington; Vault Load Films president Jim Finkl; NAACP executive director Vicangelo Bullock; NBA player Derek Anderson; cable industry veteran Prof. Sal Martino; hip-hop pioneer DJ Kool Herc; entrepreneur Olatokunbo Betiku; and real estate mogul Curtis Oakes.

BBTV chairman and CEO Miller said he’s had the vision for BBTV for several years. “I believe that there is a market in our community for a new diverse network that provides a new brand of superior programming that caters to all aspects of television, from reality to original programming,” he said.

The new channel is taking on the black-oriented cable channel BET. Miller stressed that he has “a great relationship with BET and MTV” and that he and his son, Lil’ Romeo, “will continue to do work with them and support their networks.” (Source)

My vote is for NO REALITY TV. Really, I mean, what avenues of reality haven’t we driven down already!? I’m sure there are more depths of depravity and invasion of people’s personal lives that I could find funny, but, I miss those days of good old sitcoms and stuff. If he has a strong Internet presence (wireless, online viewing, etc.) I think it could be a hit.

I think P should bring back the “TGIF” block kind of programming. THAT WAS THE ISH! I’m sure some of them old stars from the 90′s wouldn’t mind the work!

I say hats off to P though and I think this is great. It seems to be legitimate as well, he has all kinds of “non-irrelevant” people serving on his board. Let’s hope it’s MORE than “Good Times” reruns (cause ain’t nothing wrong with “Good Times”!)!

What old black 90′s shows would you like to see? What kinds of new shows would you like to watch? Talk about it!
