Born Again Virgin: Smart and Funny and TV One's Best Kept Secret

I almost missed the boat on this one.

Born Again Virgin
TV One
Wednesdays, 10/9c
Finale airs tonight

I woke up this morning earlier than usual.  After prayer and digging the crust from my eyes, I remained in bed and turned on the television.  Because it was so early, I immediately flipped to TV One with the hopes of catching a beloved marathon of one of my fav re-runs, Girlfriends or A Different World.

I stumbled upon a marathon run of Born Again Virgin. Months before,  I'd seen the ads for this seemingly cute series. When the first show aired, I admit I gave it only a cursory glance, thinking... hmm... not much to interest me here.  I can see this one coming a country road away, I thought.  I was wrong.

I watched.  From the roota to the toota as an Aunt of mine would say.  I watched every episode up until the finale which airs tonight at 9pm on TV One.  I am now hooked and so glad I didn't miss the boat on this one.

IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD....

The (New) Game BET

It's a different world, than where you come from....  I'm not talking about the famed Waynes, Whitley and Dwayne; I'm talking about BET'S THE GAME.

When I first started blogging in 2010, I formed a partnership with a brilliant fellow, veteran Blogger, half of Girl TD aka Rainy Day Diva.  We connected over wine and a Miami sunset about our love and excitement for the soon to be returning beloved show, The Game (CW).  We, Girl TD were thrilled and it didn't matter that it was returning to BET.  Although skeptical, we championed BET's The Game and with our words fought anyone who said differently.

But the show returned and it was different, far different than what we imagined.  After all, the same writers and production people were returning.  So despite the change in network, a few cast changes, I sniffed that when a BET poll asked if it we'd still love the show if all of the characters didn't return, the show was strong.  We'd later learn it was Kelly getting the ax--the glue between Tasha and Melanie--the one we hated to love but just did.
