BET is pulling out all the stops for its latest scripted comedy series "Reed Between The Lines" starring Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Tracee Ellis Ross. See the duo along with the rest of the cast and Kanye West inside from last night's NYC screening....
Yesterday, the stars of "Reed Between The Lines" hosted a "meet and greet" at Foot Locker in Times Square, New York City.
Tracee Ellis Ross, rocking a cute striped tee and pencil skirt look, was joined by Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Anna Maria Horsford and Melissa De Sousa.
Afterwards, TheYBF.com hit the scene with the cast at a VIP Screening at Bar Basque.
Tracee and Malcom discussed the first episode of "RBTL," which also will have an appearance from Robin Givens. And the audience got to watch the first episode.
The show itself takes a bit of inspiration from Malcolm's claim to fame, "The Cosby Show." The comedy is very light-hearted and positive. But some viewers may think the writing, set aesthetics, and background may not be the best, even though the actors do a fabulous job in spite of the writing. It will be interesting to see if a generation of viewers who have become accustomed to cat-fights and drink tosses will embrace it.
Tracee and her Louis Vuitton shoes had some fun with BET CEO Debra L. Lee.
Anna Maria changed outfits and got summery in a sleeveless tee and hot pink skirt. Most folks will agree, she brings a lot of humor to the show.
Malcolm posed with cast member/on-screen daughter Zoe Hendrix.
Then Kanye showed up and posed with cast member Nadji Jeter and the rest of the cast.
Cute kids!
The entire cast, Anna Maria Horsford, Melissa De Sousa, Zoe Soul, Nadji Jeter, Zoe Hendrix along with Tracee and Malcolm posed for a photo.
You can catch the premiere tonight (Oct. 11) on BET at 10pmET.
BONUS: Tracee & Malcolm are covering the Fall 2011 issue of MONARCH mag:
On the Cosby Show comparisons: “I don’t think it was completely by accident that the show has Cosby-esque tones.”
On Tracee Ellis Ross: “I couldn’t imagine anyone else that I would want to be doing this show with…”
On BET’s Hope for the show: “They are trying to revamp the network and balance out the image of Black people.”
