It seems that Black Entertainment Television\u2019s claim that \u2018nobody\u2019s got you like BET\u2019 may be true\u201d with the debut of their two new sitcoms, \u201cThe Real Husbands of Hollywood (RHOH)\u201d and \u201cSecond Generation Wayans (SGW).\u201d<\/p>\n

The two highly anticipated shows premiered last week and did not disappoint.\u00a0 The heavily scripted shows skyrocketed up cable network in viewership polls. Though there was much skepticism regarding the new shows due to the networks unpredictable past of scripted shows, the two new sitcoms completely threw out that notion when they beat out their competition in network ratings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Real Husbands of Hollywood\u201d premiere show starring Kevin Hart, Nick Cannon, Boris Kodjoe, Robin Thicke, Dwayne Martin, and J.B. Smoove, snagged the top spot on the cable\u2019s viewership in the 10 p.m. hour on Tuesday. The \u2018realest fakest\u2019 reality show is based on the lives of superstar men living in Hollywood. The show adds a humorous twist as it mocks reality shows such as \u201cReal Housewives of Atlanta.\u201d\u00a0 Funnyman Kevin Hart, who spearheads the show, gives the show extra humor with gossip, wild parties, heated arguments, and classic reality show backstabbing.<\/p>\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the sitcom pulled 4.1 million viewers and butchered their competition in the 18-49 demographics percentile with 2.1 million viewers. The show\u2019s encore that aired at 11 p.m. also did well, bringing in 2.3 million viewers. The RHOH has been named the No. 1 new cable sitcom of the season in viewers and demographics and the third best launch after \u201cThe Game\u201d and the premiere of \u201cLet\u2019s Stay Together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coming in at number two on the cable network was \u201cSecond Generation Wayans,\u201d starring\u00a0\u00a0 Damien Dante Wayans, Craig Wayans, Tatyanna Ali, and George O. Gore II. The comedy details the lives of Damien and Craig Wayans, who try to make a life for themselves without the help of their trademark last name. The Wayans enlist the help of friend\/business partner George, and office assistant, Tatyanna to help them along the road to stardom in Hollywood in their efforts to live up to the legacies of their famous family members.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the SGW\u2019s 10:30 p.m. episode pulled 3.5 million viewers and a 1.7 rating 18-49 that brought in T Its 11:30 p.m. encore raked in an additional 1.4 million and a 0.6 adults rating.<\/p>\n

Jackson State University students expressed different opinions about the two shows.<\/p>\n

Thelma Kimble, a junior psychology major said that the show was very entertaining.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt had corny moments, but I still thought it was funny,\u201d said Kimble.<\/p>\n

Dominique Triplett, a junior English major from Jackson, Miss. said the show was not very good.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Real Husbands was really corny, I didn\u2019t even bother to watch the Second Generation Wayans,\u201d said Triplett.<\/p>\n

Shelby Alfred, a senior physics major from Houston, Texas said that she saw the previews of the shows and decided to not watch either show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not really into that kind of thing, so I didn\u2019t watch it,\u201d said Alfred.
\nAlthough it is too early to determine if both shows will continue to attract the attention of viewers and remain at the top, the ratings so far show that for now, \u201cnobody\u2019s got you like BET.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
