I didn't plug this yesterday, so I'm sure most of ya'll missed it, but I decided at the last moment to experiment with a little live blogging here at AB.com. Instead of watching the Extreme Coonery of the BET Awards 08' in a secluded location as usual, I decided to invite over my brothers (AOB and AMB) and drag my wife (AS) into the fray to make the whole thing a great big AverageFamily affair.[1]
Cause the family that live blogs together stays together. Or somethin' like that.
If you missed the first airing of the Awards, don't fret. They'll be re-airing Friday the 27th at 7:30PM and on constant replay for the next 4 months.
And when they re-air, simply reference the links below, and relive this exercise in Extreme Niggadom with AverageFam in simulated real-time. Or somethin' like that.

Question: Did you watch the BET Awards? Who was the best performer? Did you enjoy our special brand of family comedy? Did we nail it? Do AOB and AMB prove the "apple doesn't fall far from the AverageDad tree"? Do you have any idea why AverageSis stays married to me? Is this an Instant Classic or what?

1) NO ONE's middle name should be Delight! Shame on Quincy.
2) The DL/Young Buck had me gone but it still didn't save him.
3) LOVED Al Green. When Maxwell came out, I lost it.
4) I hate to say it, but I kind of missed Beyonce. The Awards weren't right without her.
5) Seeing the original En Vogue made my year.
6) T-Pain= overkill
7) Chris Brownis still a kid to me, so to see him air humping Ciara slayed me.
ummm...chris brown - skinny jeans that still sag. ummm, yeah...not so much playa.
i watched some of it, but DVR-ed the rest. i can't watch the whole show in its entirety. needless to say, i was disappointed with what i saw...starting off with the whackness of DL as host. so not funny.
there was tig-ole biddies galore!!! was it me or did a lot of women not have on the right type or size bra?! some didn't have one on at all...not cute, especially when you rockin' EEE and such. WOMP WOMP
i'm sure donnie simpson was crying inside at the coonery.
oh yeah...and i'm so mad that DL called marvin sapp, warren. clearly he didn't read the prompter correctly.
dumb a@@
what about the after party? Did Average Family not watch?
I loved the awards last night. I just read the live blog and that was Hilarious!
Al Green tore it up as did Maxwell, SWV and En Vogue. I was strangely amused by T-Pain- especially his slow pimp in that silver Willy Wonka suit.
Overall, the Black Exploitation Television Awards was entertaining as usual.
Ursher was really disappointing. Neyo and CB were good but, I agree that Bobbayy needs to come back. I will never forgive Whitney for ruining his career.
really? whitney ruin bobby's career? i think crack rocks had a part in it...a big part in it. and now that he talks outta that crooekd mouth of his, i can only imagine how the singing will sound.
Bobby said it was Whitney who introduced him to the crack. Im sorry but I believe a self professed crackhead over a crack-is-wack crackhead.
@AB. I am ashamed, for you, that you got the whole averageFamily in on the Blog. Man, you can't get the time back. You guys spent 12 man hours killing your brain cells. (Just joking)........I now have to kill 3 man hours watching the encore presentation. Anyway, The blog is funny as usual. I printed the blog(hours 1 ,2 ,and 3) to read as I watch the encore.
@ cjames
well, if you include the preshow, it's technically (4x4) 16 man (and woman) hours.
I get your point though.
@ anonymous
No Jacque Reid = No after party. Why bother?
@ hollatyogirl
LOL...so now we believe the truthfulness of crackheads?! self professed or not...ummm, okay
This reminded me of why I don't miss having TV and cable. Nope - not one bit. But thanks for the recap!
Hell no I didn't see the BET awards. (Pardon my harsh language)
Ok now, as am employee of BET I must MUST ask why the constant hate of the network continues? DO any of you really watch BET enough to call it Black Exploitation Television? Or to say that the awards were a show of coonery? Is this a totally fair judgment? How many of you have seen the many political and social informative specials that come on BET? How many of you watched the series “Meet the Faith,” a talk show about political, social and economic issues that matter to our people?
BET has just become a whipping boy to use when trying to find a reason for all that’s wrong with our people. Why don't we start looking at ourselves for all the pervading problems that exists in our society?
