Watching this on bet is such a waste of time

1st they schedule the show in 36 minute blocks. So right away each episode comes with an extra 6 minutes of commercials, but then I noticed a lot of stuff is cut. So that's an extra 4 minutes of commercials.

So basically they took the 22 minutes of show and 8 minutes of commercial sitcoms traditionally have and made it into 18 minutes of show and 18 minutes of commercials.

50% ads isn't even worth watching. Wish Netflix had this show

You don't even have to buy the DVDs, you can just find the episodes online for free viewing.

the clear picture from the DVD's is worth the money. most DVD players upscale the video for HDTV's. its the best quality you can get. the best part is no commercials!

Meh, I'm not some one who's really desperate for high quality. I wouldn't mind seeing it in a normal quality online. Just as long as it's clear enough for me to see and there's no blurs, I'm fine.

I have all 5 seasons on DVD! I catch a lot of stuff that they never even show in syndication... especially from the first couple seasons.

NEVER watch it on BET. its a joke. you have to endure 10 minute commercial blocks and they cut the show to add more commercials
